MPLS IP VPN Design
Hello Experts-
We have subscribed to MPLS IPVPN via Service Provide to connect our branch offices with HQ.
We have been given /30 subnet at HQ and each offices and running BGP between CE Router and ISP. We suppose to send the routes to ISP and then take will foreward via MPLS Cloud.
We want to install firewall at the HQ between MPLS Router and L3 Switch.
I am just concerned what routing protocol I should between MPLS Router and L3 Switch at HQ so that all HQ hosts can reach to branch offices.. Shall I used IGP or Static Routes ?
How to inject the routes from MPLS routes to firewall ? Is it advisable to run a routing protocol between them
How I can achieve redudancy if a router or firewall fails in HQ Office.
I am attaching a basic design.
Any suggestions and comments are welcome.

Sending routes to ISP would mean that you are using routing protocol between you and ISP. Check with ISP which routing protocol should be used (that both companies can support).
EBGP is running between us and ISP. I am receiving the routes from Branch Office
However, after the CE router I have installed the Cisco 5525-X Firewall and this firewall is connecting to our Core L3 Switch. In order to exchange the routes between router and firewall, do you I need to use routing protocol ?
Is it a good design to install a firewall ?
Appreciating your suggestions.
