Hi all,
I followed this guide http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Improved_Netwatch_II
Script 1 pings a remote host using WAN1 and then if it fails, it set the default route to 3 which makes the WAN2 the default route. It works fine.
However once the connection is back again on WAN1, it no longer detects it and it no longer switches back to WAN1. Can you help me diagnose the problem?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Re: failover not working if WAN1 is up
this is ours netwatch script that we are using:
and of course we are pinging 8.8.8.8 in 10sec interval with timeout 10sec
UP:
DOWN:
and monitor route in routes set
dst address to 8.8.8.8 gateway through "primary" link. So the ping to 8.8.8.8 will go always through wan1 interface , and cannot go through wan2. So when wan1 is up it will ping 8.8.8.8 and therefore will be up and set route distance to 0.
numbers=0 is for "1st" dhcp client , you can see the number if you go to /ip dhcp-client print you will see the number under #
