Dual WAN, both have static IP's

RouterOS General

I have been looking at the possibilities via the wiki;

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Load_Balancing#PCC_.28Per_Connection_Classifier.29

I think the PCC method will be my best option, over the ECMP method. I would like for it to have failover, if one modem locks up then all traffic could go out the other modem. I have attached a quick visual of the network. Let me add that both connections have static IP’s. I will also need to add some destination nat rules for remote management purposes to all the network equipment behind the main core switch.

Thanks,

Add a static rout to each and use the ping check gateway. Then add anther default route to each that has a router mark also with check gateway. That way the routes with the PCC mark will be followed unless the GW is not accessible in which case the route will become unavailable. If the PCC route is not there then one of the statics will be if one link is still up.
