Failover - WDS Bridged Network

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I was wondering how I could introduce failover to my network. We have six backhauls from our central tower.

Here is an example of what I would like to make happen:

Our network is entirely bridged with VLAN’s. I obvoiusly don’t want to cause network loops. I would like to leave the failoverlinks running. If I can’t, one thing I was thinking about is having some sort of a watchdog service running on the failover links and if the Primary Backhaul is detected down then the watchdog enabling the wireless link for the failover.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Check in the manual under spanning tree protocol or STP

In our network, we have to manually to change route for all the client with the topology as you mentioned.

Auto Fail over have it advantage and disadvantage.
You have to understand the different first…

Right. You want to run WDS Bridges with RSTP.
