Dual wan external ping

Hello, I’m new to MikroTik, and I need to monitor the link using Zabbix. However, I’m having trouble testing the second link via ICMP when it’s not in use.

Do I need to perform any configuration on MikroTik?

I think this sounds like something you could do with output mangle rules.

something like..

/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-routing chain=output comment=“Ping Through WAN2”
new-routing-mark=useWAN2 passthrough=no protocol=icmp

first creating routing table useWAN2
and in that table make the default route to use the secondary links route to the internet..


Maybe.. and perhaps with a netwatch rule to keep the icmp active . ?

just a thought..

I performed this configuration, but I still can’t ping externally to this public IP address. Can you tell me how I could set up this route? Do I need to specify the link that should receive it?

anyone?
