To keep it super simple, I have the following:
Two Data Centers that have a static path to a subnet through a private connection - that subnet is 10.80.0.0/16
Each data center attaches to two different MPLS Providers, each of those have a single router in the DCs. 4 DC MPLS Routers, two in each location...
Branch Office has one router from each MPLS router (two routers total).
I'm trying to steer this subnet - 10.80.0.0/16 through a particular data center, and BGP is automatically taking the unpreferred path (I know, it's probably taking the better path, but management wants certain offices to go through certain data centers)
I know a pre-pend would help if I had two different subnets, so I don't think that's the way.
I'm thinking I need to tell my Data Center BGP Routers in the preferred data center, that the path to it's router has a higher weight than the other routers. How can I go about doing that?
If that's not the right method to use, I'm truly stumped.
