Hello guys,
We have a scenario that is hard to implement this fail-over via OSPF because of many reasons, so, I’ll ask a question about RSTP and before you start saying do via OSPF, I need to do via layer 2 (RSTP) [ correct me if I am wrong ]
We have this scenario and we want to make possible to fail over tower links
How to do it, by select fiber first and in case of failure, select the RF link
Thanks a lot!!!

Give the 750 a higher (lower value) bridge priority than the connected switches. Leave port priorities on default.
Give both Dell switches the same bridge priority, lower (higher value) than the 750.
Give the RF-serving port on the corresponding switch a lower (higher value) port priority than the fiber port on the other switch has.
Now the 750 will decide which link to use.
If there’s a RF link between the RF switch and the 750, disable CDP on that link devices so the switches can directly discover each other.
The other half of your topology is not MikroTik-related but you should find your way through it with the above information.

Hello!
You can use the “path cost” too, to determine the best path, leaving other for protection.
