Is this because one path avoids the firewall and the other does not? If so, we need to make sure the attendees know that if the primary link fails, our path is subject to filtering. </div>

Hi,<br><br>We are thinking to get default route from our ISPs with the intention to simplify the policy. So the basic idea is we get 0/0 from both primary and backup link via bgp, we do local pref to engineer the traffic. Any thoughts on potential issues?<br>
<br>thanks,<br>Leon<br>
