Follow Up to previous post on BGP Failover

Hello /networking

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I recently posted before about some BGP failover that I would need to implement at work: https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/98wlx8/need_help_creating_bgp_failover/.

After contacting my ISP, they stated that since we have a basic support plan, meaning we handle the configurations on our routers, that the BGP failover will need to be handled by us i.e. me. So what I would like to ask is this:

What is the best (easiest) way to configure BGP failover? Current setup is 2 2951's, each has their own circuit (1 100M and the other 20M). Currently, our public IPs are being advertised to our primary router. If that circuit goes down or if that router takes a crap, we would need our secondary to handle the BGP over the 20M. Either way, the main requirement is that our public IP space is reachable at all times.

Again, thanks for reading and I look forward to reading your suggestions and comments.
