ospf and bgp are designed to select the best possbile route and add that to the kernel routing table.... I think ;)
I still think you could run 2 CARPs on both BGP routers and load balance on your firewalls. It means if one BGP router fails you will be load balancing your connections to the same BGP router.. 2008/10/8 BARDOU Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hello, > > I set up net.inet.ip.multipath to 1 > I configured OSPF on the BGP routers to 'redistribute default' to FW's. > > 'ospfctl show rib' on FW's shows that they have two defaults routes, > But 'ospfctl show fib' shows that only one is active. > > Besides a 'dirty' solution with ifstated which inserts multipath routes, > and withdraw them when one link/router fails, I am running out of ideas... > > Someone has one ? > > Thanks > > -- > Cordialement, > Pierre BARDOU > > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Mariusz Makowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyi : mardi 7 octobre 2008 21:38 > @ : Frans Haarman > Cc : BARDOU Pierre; [email protected] > Objet : Re: OpenBGP load balancing between 2 ISP (multihoming) > > Frans Haarman wrote: > > 2008/10/7 BARDOU Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > >> Hello, > >> > >> I am trying to set up a configuraion like this : > >> > >> +------- -+ +---------+ > >> | ISP1 | | ISP2 | Cisco > >> | ROUTER | | ROUTER | > >> | AS3215 | | AS12670 | > >> +---------+ +---------+ > >> | | > >> | | > >> +---------+ +---------+ > >> | BGP | | BGP | > >> | ROUTER | | ROUTER | OpenBSD 4.3 > >> | AS47818 | | AS45818 | > >> +---------+ +---------+ > >> | | > >> | | > >> +-------------------------+ > >> | 217.109.108.240/28 | > >> +-------------------------+ > >> | | > >> | | > >> +--------+ +-------+ > >> | FW |--------| FW | OpenBSD 4.3 > >> | MASTER | pfsync | SLAVE | > >> +--------+ +-------+ > >> | | > >> | | > >> +-------------------------+ > >> | PRIVATE NETWORKS | > >> +-------------------------+ > >> > >> I'd like to load balance outgoing connections to the internet, but I > >> don't know how to configure openBGPd to do this. > >> I searched a lot on the Internet and I found a lot of informations on > >> how to do this with cisco, but I have never found an openBGP solution. > >> Some people speak about it but I have never seen it. > >> > >> I made a test conf where failover works like a charm (using iBGP on > >> the FW's with 'set nexhop self' on BGP routers), but when both > >> connections are active only one is used. > >> > >> Would it be possible to help me please ? > >> Is setting up iBGP sessions between FW's and BGP routers a good idea ? > >> Should I rather use OSPF for this ? > >> And in tha case how to configure it to loadbalance/failover ? > >> > >> Many thanks > >> > >> PS : loadbalancing incoming connections too would be very nice, but I > >> understood it was much more difficult. > >> > >> -- > >> Cordialement, > >> Pierre BARDOU > >> > > > > > > just wondering...... > > > > What happens when you load balance your traffic on your firewalls ?
