I’m trying to figure the correct way to join two subnet with our two mikrotik we have.
Both MK are using ppoe client in order to raise different adsl connection , and both have different
subnets
192.168.1.0/24 First
eth1 is the wan ppoe
eth2 is the 192.168.1.1 as GW
192.168.2.0/24 Second
eth1 is the wan ppoe
eth2 is the 192.168.2.1 as GW
The clients (192.168.1.0/24) from the first go out to the internet through the first MK
and the clients from the other (192.168.2.0/24) go out from the second .
What should i pick for best way ? routing ? Tunnels ?
You simply want the clients on each subnet to be able to communicate? Routing will work if you are doing things like sharing printers / file sharing via known IP numbers. If you want broadcast-based protocols to work you might need a different approach.
What traffic do you anticipate between the LAN subnets?
I want every computer to be available to see the other subnet Locally .
For example a host 192.168.1.2 to ping 192.168.2.0/24 subnet and the opposite .
A routed solution will allow the two LANs to ping each other but will not merge the broadcast domains so protocols which depend on visibility via broadcast will not see the other LAN.
That all depends on the locations. If they are co-located, nobody else can look at the traffic and a routed solution is OK then you can either give each router an IP / interface on the other network or if you only want to use one port you can make a link network between the two (different IP range from either existing subnet) then add a route on each router to the opposite subnet via that link network.
