Forced Routing

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi to all of you,

we use a RB2011UAS-RM for load balancing with multiple ISPs. Therefore we have routing marks in use. Everything fine so far.

How can we achieve the following:

If a route with a routing mark is not available - perhaps because ISP connection is failing - there shall be no fall-back to the next route or the default route.
So, if a route with a routing mark is not available, routing shall not be possible and connections based on that route shall not be usable.

Thanks for reading,

Hans

If there are a route whith the routing mark (ISP no avaible) the packet will take the default route with less distance metric.

Firewall mangle still will be marking the connection with routing mark even if it is not avaible.

The other way is disabling those rules in firewall mangle via scripting if you don’t want to mark those rules.
