i have 4 modem each 4Mbit internet connection, total 16Mbit internet connection
after that RB192 router board set as user manager
after that 2 RB333 board set as hotspot router
rb192 sets up ECMP mode but if one of modem fails, all http connection get “504 gateway timeout”
turn on check-gateway=arp or =ping so that the gateway is not used if its non-reachable. If the arp and ping are working and it’s still down (1 hop out) you will need to script something, but check-gateway=ping/arp should be fine.
check-gateway=ping should do this for you automatically… If ECMP is in use with 4 routes, and one of them isnt reachable, it should turn blue and only the 3 remaining routes should be used. . . if this is not happening I would suggest entered a support ticket if it’s broken.
Are you saying that your gateway is not the remote side of the modem, its inside your facility ? Or should I ask the gateway is still pingable even when your internet is down ?
So just to get this straight … the default gateways you are using are on your network, or are they across the internet at your ISP?
If you use check-gateway it simply pings the gateway, and if its unreachable it will disable the route automatically… however, if that gateway is ALWAYS up because its inside of your network then you will need extra scripting.
If your gateways are local check-gateway wont do what you need. If thats the case let us know and maybe we can code something up for you real quick.
