Default routes for Protocols

RouterOS General
1

I currently have both a DSL and a T1 coming into my location. Here is what I have setup currenlty.

Everything besides port 80 and 443 requests are going though the DSL. VoIP and my L2TP traffic is running over the T1.

I need a script to monitor my next hop on both the T1 and the DSL. If the DSL goes down, it needs to change the gateway for my DSL Routing table to the gateway of my T1, then when it comes back up, it needs to change it accordingly.

Same differance with the T1, if it goes down, it will change the default gateay of my T1 routing table to my DSL IP.

Any suggestions?

Quite easy, I would think.

Use netwatch to get the state of each connection with a script to enable and disable the appropriate routes.

There’s a fail over example script in the manual which might give you some ideas.

'Hope this helps.

IT helps, I will have to look in the documentation more!

The newest version of 2.9 beta has the ability to check routes. We will try to get it documented soon.

I’m looking to accomplish the same thing. I’ve got the basic failover/LB working, but it would be nice if someone had a sample script that would enable/disable the protocol/association with an interface if it goes down…
