I was wondering how people tend to generate default routes to customers running bgp.
Short answer: don't Longer answer: To solve the exact problems you mention below, only advertise a aggregate block of your own to this customer, say x.x.0.0/16, then the customer will configure his device something like ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.0.0 or set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop x.x.0.0 resolve This will ensure that if the border router get's isolated, it will no longer advertise x.x.0.0/16 to the customer, and the customer router can choose a backup path. /Jesper -- Jesper Skriver, jesper(at)skriver(dot)dk - CCIE #5456 Senior network engineer @ AS3292, TDC Tele Danmark One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
