Interface bonding with active back-up

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

Does someone has a working configuration of bonding with active back-up, since I do not want to load balance with balance-rr, but I want to use active back-up. In my configuration the active back-up doesn’t work, when i put DOWN my primary link the back-up link doesn’t comes UP.

Here is my config:

ROUTER 1

0 R name=“eoip-tunnel1” mtu=1500 mac-address=FE:0B:A9:D5:EB:11 arp=enabled remote-address=10.0.0.1 tunnel-id=1

1 R name=“eoip-tunnel2” mtu=1500 mac-address=FE:DD:03:20:A3:81 arp=enabled remote-address=10.10.0.1 tunnel-id=2
[admin@MikroTik] > interface bonding print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name=“bonding1” mtu=1500 mac-address=FE:0B:A9:D5:EB:11 arp=enabled slaves=eoip-tunnel1,eoip-tunnel2 mode=active-backup primary=eoip-tunnel1
link-monitoring=arp arp-interval=100ms arp-ip-targets=192.168.0.1 mii-interval=100ms down-delay=0s up-delay=0s lacp-rate=30secs


ROUTER 2

0 R name=“eoip-tunnel1” mtu=1500 mac-address=FE:07:63:B4:D9:92 arp=enabled remote-address=10.0.0.2 tunnel-id=1

1 R name=“eoip-tunnel2” mtu=1500 mac-address=FE:80:AA:30:14:61 arp=enabled remote-address=10.10.0.2 tunnel-id=2
[admin@MikroTik] > interface bonding print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name=“bonding1” mtu=1500 mac-address=FE:07:63:B4:D9:92 arp=enabled slaves=eoip-tunnel1,eoip-tunnel2 mode=active-backup primary=eoip-tunnel1
link-monitoring=arp arp-interval=100ms arp-ip-targets=192.168.0.2 mii-interval=100ms down-delay=0s up-delay=0s lacp-rate=30secs

Hello again,

It is interesting that when I put down primary interface the back-up link is not coming up, but as soon as I confirm any of the settings of bonding interface on remote peer, I have just configured again mode as active back-up after that everything works well.
After one or two DOWNs and UPs again the same problem occures, and I go again on the remote peer and improvise like I’m changing something and everything works perfect.
So the question is: Is this a bug or I’m not doing it properly?
I’m using version 2.9.26, I have tried also with version 2.9.29 the problem was the same.

Regards.
