Multi eBGP peers

Hello Everyone,

I’m building an environment with a Peplink Balance router with 2 WAN links. One is going to RTR-1 and the second going to RTR-2.
I’m running eBGP with RTR-1 & RTR-2 (which belong to the same BGP AS).
My BGP config is the same for both peers with an AS-Prepending to RTR-2.

The problem here is that my Peplink router is only advertising the local prefix to RTR-1 (not to RTR-2).
And if the peer to RTR-1 goes down, there is not more connectivity.

However, if I remove the AS-Prepending on RTR-2 then the Balance router sends traffic to RTR-1 and to RTR-2 should RTR-1 goes down .
Weird and I cannot explain why AS-Prepend is avoiding the failover to happen correctly.

Has anyone hit the same issue ?

Thansk in advance
Frank
