backup a PPP client connection

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi,

I have several Mikrotik PPTP/L2TP server installed in several locations. All these servers have different public IP and in different networks.
I normally configure my MT devices point to one PPTP/L2TP server to stablish a VPN with a PPTP/L2TP client. I want to find a crash PPTP/L2TP server plan.

However, I want to put PPTP/L2TP connections of backup. I want that the main PPTP/L2TP connection is active and the backup one is disabled. But when the main connection fails, the second PPTP is enabled automaticaly.
How can I configure this behaviour in my MT devices? Is is a MT script a good solution?

Thanks!!

I would recommend using the netwatch tool.
You can put in the IP address of the remote primary VPN server to watch. Then on down you would enable the backup and disable the primary and on up you would disable the backup and enable the primary.

OK. I understand.
I write a script to control the VPN fall and to restore the primary VPN when primary IP answers.
Thanks!
