Load balancing between two default routes I have a Brocade FESX648-PREM switch that is currently connected to an IXP and a single upstream transit provider. This switch accepts the default route via BGP from the transit provider. I announce a few prefixes to the transit provider. I would like to add another uplink of equal speed from a second transit provider to multi-home. However, my switch is not able to accept the full routing table. Would it be possible to accept a default route from the second transit provider as well as the first provider? What sort of configuration would I need to load balance between the two uplinks? It seems to me that two static default routes with equal weight could work... but I'm not certain.

No, that won't work that way. Your switch will select one of those two as default, most likely the one with the lowest IP address. One way to solve this is of course buy a real router capable of handling two full feeds, but there are other solutions which may work. You could ask both your transit providers to announce the default route as two /1's or four /2's (etc). That way you can use local preferences to prefer parts of the routing table via each provider. Of course, load balancing based on prefixes is no guarantee that you're actually balacing traffic ratios evenly.
