Hi all,

Sorry for getting back so late as I am tied up with some other stuffs..
Thanks for all the advice and my upstream managed to see my prefix. Seems
that changing the next hop to my eth0 public ip address did the trick.

Now as my eth0 is connected to my upstream, what IP address should I set on
my eth1? It will be connected to a layer 3 switch (core switch) which all
our servers will be connected to that switch. I have a /21 range of ip
addresses, so should I just use the first ip to set on eth1? What
prefix-length should I set on that as well?

Please advise.

Thanks!
