asymetric routing

RouterOS General
1

Hello

I recently built this setup
Presentazione standard1.png
There’s 2 sites [connected via Wireless link]
Each site has a default gateway (192.168.0.1 and 10.10.0.254)

The Technician (not me) programmed a static route in each gateway router

  • 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.10.0.253 for left router
  • 10.10.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 for right router.

From 10.10.0.2
I cannot ping 192.168.0.4
I can ping 192.168.0.1
I can ping 192.168.0.254

From 192.168.0.4
I cannot ping 10.10.0.2
I can ping 10.10.0.253
I can ping 10.10.0.254

I have rebuilt the same setup in my lab, with the same result.

Does anyone have an idea of the cause?
Thank you

Do you have forward rules to allow forwarding 192.168.0.0/24 to 10.10.0.0/24 and 10.10.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.0/24?

On second thought, what OS do the clients (10.10.0.2 and 192.168.0.4) use?
If it is windows, than you either need to adjust their firewall settings to accept ping from any address, or do a masquerade on both sides of the router, so the source address of the requester falls into each the machine’s subnet.
