    Hi all,

    I need to know why my config is not working, and if you can advice me to make it correct.

    We are receiving two default routes from ISP-A and from ISP-B. The current ISP-A is preferred based on local-preference.

    I need to keep this priority, for all the traffic through ISP-A, but i want to use ISP-B as well for one destination Subnet. So default route 0.0.0.0/0 from ISP-A is injected as a primary to my Site (higher Local-Prefence).

    For this purpose I have done the configuration as below, but is not working.

    x.x.x.x is the destination_Test_IP Range that i can use for test.

    #set policy-options policy-statement ml_to_retn_condev_allow term 10 from route-filter x.x.x.x exact

    #set policy-options policy-statement ml_to_retn_condev_allow term 10 then accept

    #set policy-options policy-statement ml_to_retn_condev_deny term 10 from route-filter x.x.x.x exact

    #set policy-options policy-statement ml_to_retn_condev_deny term 10 then reject

    import this statemnt in BGP

    #set protocols bgp group Upstream neighbor 10.0.1.2 import ml_to_retn_condev_allow

    #set protocols bgp group Upstream neighbor 10.0.2.2 import ml_to_retn_condev_deny

    Now, is this possible technically and if yes, can you give us an hand regard to this by advising with the config?

    Hello,

    Do you receive x.x.x.x subnet from your ISP-B or only default route ? In order to work your policy you have to receive it from them.

    Hi,

    The policy will not work if from the ISPs the router is just receiving a default route.

    The router must have the exact x.x.x.x prefix received from the BGP peer, for the policy to be matched.

    Regards
