Hi!
The test environment:
RB1 RB2
ETHER1 - LAPTOP ETHER1 - LAPTOP
192.168.100.1/24 GW 192.168.100.254 192.168.101.1/24 GW 192.168.100.254
ETHER2 - 192.168.1.1 ------------------------------> ETHER2 - 192.168.2.1
ETHER3 - 192.168.3.1 ------------------------------> ETHER2 - 192.168.4.1
RB1 ETHER2 connected to RB2 ETHER2
RB1 ETHER3 connected to RB2 ETHER3
RB1 have a BRIDGE1 (ETHER1 and BONDING1) IP: 192.168.100.254/24
RB2 have a BRIDGE1 (ETHER1 and BONDING1) IP: 192.168.101.254/24
RB1
eo-iptunnel1 (remote address: 192.168.2.1)
ID: 1
eo-iptunnel2 (remote address: 192.168.4.1)
ID: 2
RB2
eo-iptunnel1 (remote address: 192.168.1.1)
ID: 1
eo-iptunnel2 (remote address: 192.168.3.1)
ID: 2
After this i created a Bonding interface on the routers
RB1
Bonding1
Slaves:
eo-iptunnel1
eo-iptunnel2
Mode: balance-RR
Link monitoring: ARP
ARP IP target: 192.168.101.254 (Other routers BRIDGE address, which contains the bonding interface)
RB2
Bonding1
Slaves:
eo-iptunnel1
eo-iptunnel2
Mode: balance-RR
Link monitoring: ARP
ARP IP target: 192.168.100.254 (Other routers BRIDGE address, which contains the bonding interface)
The Route table:
DST-ADDRESS PREF-SRC G GATEWAY DIS INTERFACE
0 ADC 10.10.10.0/24 10.10.10.1 bridge1
1 ADC 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 ETHER2
2 A S 192.168.2.0/24 r 192.168.1.1 ETHER2
3 ADC 192.168.3.0/24 192.168.3.1 ETHER3
4 A S 192.168.4.0/24 r 192.168.3.1 ETHER3
5 ADC 192.168.100.0/24 192.168.100.254 bridge1
6 A S 192.168.101.0/24 r 192.168.100.254 bridge1
everything is fine...when I put the cord off from ether2 or ether3 I can ping the other PC 192.168.101.1 from 192.168.100.1. So there is fault tolerance and load-balancing. It's ok!
I like only fault tolerance so I put the bonding inteface RB1 and RB2 to ACTIVE BACKUP mode the Primary interface: EOIPTUNNEL1 and hit apply...
But It's not working. Before that I can ping from the RB2 from RB1 (winbox)
RB1: ping 192.168.101.254 (ping is ok)
RB2: ping 192.168.100.254 (ping is ok)
After I change the bonding mode to active backup there is no ping, but from the laptop I can ping the other laptop, but I can't ping the other GW.
FROM laptop1:(192.168.100.1)
ping 192.168.101.1 (it's ok)
ping 192.168.101.254 (no ping)
So how can I make an active backup link, I don't need load balancing only BACKUP.
Any idea?
Thanks in advice!
