how to PCC in version 7?

RouterOS RouterOS beta
1

Hello
up until now I have used pcc load balancing in mikrotk version 6.45 with 2 sims
work without any problems .
I have upgrage to version 7 in order to use the quectel modem as LTE interface
but it doesn’t work

when I try to setup my working configuration from start , I see the problem is in this part

/ip firewall mangle 
add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting connection-mark=WAN1_conn \
    in-interface=Local new-routing-mark=to_WAN1
 
/ip route
add check-gateway=ping distance=1 gateway=SIM1 routing-mark=to_WAN1

I get this error:

input does not match any value of new-routing-mark

waht is cahnge in version 7? what is the “new” command I need to put? and how do I make this works?

Thanks ,

Add table first

Today I upgraded to v7.1 and find out my network can’t access internet with my route config. After a while with some suggestion around this forum, I find that I will need to fix the route, add 2 rules to the route/rules, edit the routes table without ping in check gateway. So it actually works right now.

Running RouterOS 7.2rc3, set up PCC and it’s working, but a major issue I have is that the router itself cannot go out on the internet

Notice below that I added 4 routes, 2 in the main table, and 1 for each routing mark.
PCC works fine only when the 2 default routes in the main table are disabled on purpose, if I enable them, the router is able to go out the internet, but PCC stops working.
I am missing something, but not sure what is is, so a little help would be appreciated.

I have the same exact issue, in addition, failover is not working as well, any help would be appreciated
i followed the instructions here https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Firewall+Marking#FirewallMarking-Example3(PCC)

got it sorted out, now the router has access, PCC is working, also failover is fine

Same issue here, 2 LTE WAN interfaces and whenever I’m adding a default route for the router itself, PCC stops working.

Sorry, but this solution does not work with LTE interfaces
