The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Will HSRP watch a BGP session?

Asked by kbws1 in Network Routers

Tags: HSRP, Cisco, BGP, HA, failover, multihoming, multihomed

Hello all, I know there is alot out there about Cisco HSRP but have not seen the answer to my question.  I am in the process of modifying my current environment from all 3 ISP's using eBGP to annouce my 1 class C IP space all from a single border router, which is a single point of failure.  So my goal is to connect each ISP to its own router.  This is good for us because not all the ISP's come from the same medium and even enter my network in the same building, so I will gain geographic separation and redundancy as well.  I want the topology to look like this:

ISP A       ISP B         ISP C
 |                |                |
 |                |                |
BldgA       BldgB         BldgC
RtrA          RtrB           RtrC  - All running eBGP to ISPs annoucing 1 class C
 |                |                |
--------L2 Switching----------
                  |
                  |
     Redundant  PIX
                  |
                  |
                LAN  

Ok my HSRP question is:  I see alot that HSRP looks at interfaces to determine if the active router is alive.  I understand this benefit when hardware fails.  But in my BGP environment its much more likely that the BGP session with the ISP will go down with the router's physical or logical interface remaining up/up.  So, will HSRP respond if just the BGP session with that ISP goes down and not the connected interface?

Many thanks.
