Hi,
I have a problem I made a drawing to better explain it. Please take a look at the drawing.
There are PPPoE servers in CCR1036. We serve our customers by verifying with Radius. We do NAT using 10 fixed ipv4.
There is only one gateway. Our Mikrotik device does not have a 10G port. There are only 4 1G sfp ports.
How can we balance load in such a situation. ?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
That’s pretty little information.
I guess you already know that the ideal solution would be replacing your CCR with one that actually has SFP+ slots.
You could distribute your ten addresses across multiple physical interfaces, no bridges.
Then you can set routes for all interfaces to the same gateway and specify out-interfaces in your srcnat rules.
like:
/ip address add address=176.177.178.2/27 interface=sfp1
/ip address add address=176.177.178.3/27 interface=sfp2
/ip address add address=176.177.178.4/27 interface=sfp3
/ip address add address=176.177.178.5/27 interface=sfp4
/ip route add gateway=176.177.178.1%sfp1
/ip route add gateway=176.177.178.1%sfp2
/ip route add gateway=176.177.178.1%sfp3
/ip route add gateway=176.177.178.1%sfp4

It did not work. Thank you for your answer. Maybe I couldn’t. I made the definitions you specified. But I was disconnected from the router and the ip. I’ll try again tonight.
Do not working. I made these definitions. But romon and rope access is closed.
Please help me…
Thanks…
I think the best start would be that you post an export of your config. Then we can take a deeper look.

The answer here could be “bonding” the 2 interfaces. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Bonding
But the “unmanaged” switch is preventing any special setup. Your cost/budget model might indicate if replacing the unmanaged switch is an option.
