Hi, I have setup 2 wan ports (ether1 & 5) on a RB750 (6.X) with a simple example I found. I can forward traffic to both of them using the distance parameter. I’m running PPPoE server with 20 some clients on it and I would like for most of them to access internet on Ether1 except one client to be on Ether5 all the time. The Clients are defined in USERMAN. Any one have ann idea how I can set that up ? Richard
I should mention the IP address for the PPPoE clients are taken from userman (172.16.xx.xx) and are dynamic. I tried marking the client pppoe interface but when the client disconnects are reconnects I get an invalid mangle rule…
You can use RADIUS to give them the same IP address each time. That will allow you to do the Policy Based Routing that your trying to do. You could also create a script to match the MAC address to the current IP address.
I’m using Radius an each client is always getting the same IP address. But Since it is a dynamic entry in the IP Address section like it is in the PPP/Interface sections, I figured the rule would say ‘invalid’ …
I’m not sure what your envisioning, but with Policy Based Routing, you use Mangle to identify and mark traffic. For example, you might identify the traffic based on IP Address List and mark the connection. The next rule would mark the packet and the third rule would make the routeing. Remember that you have to create statements for the traffic going out and the traffic coming back, but its very easy to do. There are several examples online to choose from depending on your network setup.
