Fibre static and pppoe connection.

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi Guys,

Have a slight issue - Have RouterOS v5.6 and need to setup 2 ISP connections. Fibre is primary with static IP’s and secondary will be the PPPOE connection from a different ISP.

How do i configure the PPPOE connection to be a backup for when the fibre is down? Fibre connection is static and the PPPOE is going to by dynamic.

Forgot to mention it is a routerboard 750 :slight_smile:

Set add-default-gateway=no for PPPoE connection, setup /ip route for PPPoE statically and specify higher distance (note it is possible to make static PPPoE interface too).

I am a new to Mikrotik devices.

What i have done so far is setup my static on fibre. Working 100% at the moment.
Next i setup adsl router to do PPPOE dialing - Mikrotik not handing this. I have assign internal IP of 192.168.5.251/24 to the router.

then added the following?
/ip route add gateway=192.168.5.251 distance=2

Would this achieve my desired result? I did not have chance to test as of yet as the call centre agents are still in the office.
