I’ve been playing around with bonding and have taken a look at the routeros manual to get info on how to set it up. For the most part the manual helps. Where I’m having the issue though is I’m not doing it with 2 routers (2 office networks) and no need for the EoIP tunnel. I’m just simply wanting to aggregate 2 WAN connections together and run it in the 802.3ad to combine bandwidth from both into one. I’m using ADSL modems. Nothing special about them. They run pppoe in the modems and hand out dhcp. Wondering if what I’m wanting to do is even possible atm with mikrotik. I’m also needing to know if it would work better if the router was doing pppoe and both interfaces the modems are connected to. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
–This is also no rush. I’m just doing because I want to see if mikrotik could do it. I figure it would be easier with a separate device that is made to do this. I would just rather do it with mikrotik if I could be done. Thanks again!
802.3ad is a protocol, which implies it must also be running on the other side, and also both links have to terminate on the same device on the other side. If those conditions are fulfilled you can’t bond. Do both circuits terminate on the same router on the other side? Can the other side set up 802.3ad for you? Unless the answer to both questions is ‘yes’ you can’t bond.
