Hello, I have Mikrotik router (RB750), and 2 internet connections, I want to make router to balance load, or, if it’s hard - simply switch WAN from first to second automatically (second one is very slow, but quite stable).
The first connection is PPPoE connection, and there can be many types of failure: no link, can’t authorize, problem after PPPoE server. If there’s one of the problems router should switch automatically to second connection, which is simple ADSL modem with own DHCP server, which is simply connected to routerboard.
I understand, that it’s possible to configure, but i don’t know the right way, or right keywords to google for..
RB751G this connects via one Ethernet port to physical network on which two internet connections are available
ADSL modem [Here I use PPPOE on MT RB to establish connection/interface]
Static IP router [For this I simply have static route defined]
Simple fail over [your second link below] appears to work fine. Albeit I can not set check ping on the PPPOE Interface RB seems to know how to handle that part well.
So question is now if I wanted to actually load balance across those two one would use something like PCC to mark and route …
What I’m not clear on is following, is the physical separation of the two connections necessary for PCC to be configured and work correctly?
All Done ! Now Test the link by putting user load, the more multiple users load you put on it, the better Load Balance result you will get
PCC WITH UN-EQUAL WAN LINKS
If you have Un-Equal WAN Links, for example WAN,1 is of 4MB and WAN,2 is of 8 Mb, and you want to force MT to use WAN42link more then other because of its capacity, Then you have to Add more PCC rules assigning the same two marks to a specific link i.e WAN2 , something like
