Implementing eBGP for MPLS Redundancy

All MPLS Service Providers provide SLA's with High Redundancy for MPLS connectivity. These SLA's can be achieved using HSRP, eBGP, iBGP, ..etc., the choice is upto the customer. As a MPLS customer, configuring for BGP can be a hassle sometimes. In the below configuration we will be configuring eBGP with a single Layer 3 switch. The network weight command adds a weight to the routes, so that the route with the highest weight is the preferred route.
