Good day fellow Networkers,<br />
<br />
We have BGP configured on a primary and back up router at one of our sites that iare connected to the same ISP (seperate circuits). &nbsp;We have created a new subnet and sub interface on the backup router and would like all LAN traffic in the new subnet to use the back up router when leaving the site. &nbsp;We also need to ensure that the Primary router is not aware of the new subnet and that any external taffic destined for the new subnet does not transverse the Primary router.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
