Both vdsl2 modems are connected to a RB-2011L-RM router. At interface 10 i have the router (mikrotik does the PPPoE itself), At interface 1 there is a gigabit switch on both routerboards.
Now, i use the first ISP (EDPnet) to connect my servers to the internet. The second ISP (Openweb) is for internet at home.
Because both are different providers, a route from the first ISP to the second ISP goes via Amsterdam (Netherlands), while i am from Belgium.
Now, i want to interconnect both routerboards with each other at interface 5 (both). In that case i can upload at gigabit speeds (PC => gigabit switch => routerboard Openweb => interconnect LAN cable => routerboard EDPnet => gigabit switch => server) towards the servers.
Can somebody please help me with this setup? What do i need to do? Do i have to change things?
If so you could create a link network between the two Mikrotik systems and ensure that you have a route in the “home” router favouring the local link network as the path towards your server IPs and vice-versa.
Alternatively, give your PC & Servers IPs on both IP ranges and put it on the same LAN - that would ensure real switch speed for transfers to/from the servers. By using a different default gateway for your PC and servers they would each use the corresponding ISP for outbound traffic.
Indeed, both routerboards and modems are on the same location…even in the same rack.
The modems stands next to eachother, the routerboards on top of eachother.
Do i have to do that using a vlan or something, and change the routes?
Anyone that can help me with more (detailed) information?
Just a newbie into routerboard
The routerboard on the EDPnet connection has a public IP (from the PPPoE session) and a 192.168.2.x IP (DHCP client at the VDSL2 modem).
The routerboard on the Openweb connection has a public IP (from the PPPoE session) and a 192.168.1.x IP (DHCP client at the VDSL2 modem)
All pc’s, laptops, voip phones, nas-servers, … are connected to a unmanaged gigabit switch, which is connected to the routerboard that does the PPPoE connection for the Openweb connection (and DHCP server). I can surf to 192.168.1.1 without any problem.
All the servers are connected at the EDPnet connection (using a unmanaged gigabit switch) and they all have a external IP (85.234.x.y). I can reach the servers without any problem, but there is a long route (going to amterdam, and back). I want to make that route shorter, and much quicker (so that i can use the gigabit at full speed).
