Load Balance - Wiki not working for my setup

RouterOS General
1

Hi All,

I have tried to setup load balancing from the wiki, but it does not seem to want to work with my setup.

We have two adsl lines,

adsl line 1 ip address 192.168.1.254
adsl line 2 ip address 10.0.0.138
Both are from the same ISP each ADSL line has modem set to masquerade


ADSL1 ADSL2
192.168.1.254 10.0.0.138
| |
ETH2 192.168.1.222 ETH3 10.0.0.1
ROUTER1
|
ETH1 192.168.xx.xxx MIKROTIK ROUTER NEEDS LOAD BALANCE SETUP
|
|
ETH1
ROUTER2

If anyone could help with the load balancing on this (with or without failover) it would be greatly appreciated.

I have removed the setup, for load balancing as we were unable to use the internet at all when the load balance rules were in place.

But the wiki setup was exactly the same as the setup that I used here, the only diffirence is interface and ip address in the lines were changed to match our setup, and I disabled the nat rule that we already had.

NAT RULE disabled =
chain=srcnat action=masquerade

This is how I changed the wiki setup to suite my setup

/ip firewall mangle

add chain=prerouting in-interface=ADSL-TOP connection-state=new nth=1,1,0
action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=odd passthrough=yes comment=“” disabled=no

add chain=prerouting in-interface=ADSL-TOP connection-mark=odd action=mark-routing
new-routing-mark=odd passthrough=no comment=“” disabled=no

add chain=prerouting in-interface=ADSL-BOTTOM connection-state=new nth=1,1,1
action=mark-connection new-connecton-mark=even passthrough=yes comment=“” disabled=no

add chain=prerouting in-interface=ADSL-BOTTOM connection-mark=even action=mark-routing
new-routing-mark=even passthrough=no comment=“” disabled=no


/ip firewall nat

add chain=srcnat connection-mark=odd action=src-nat to-address=192.168.1.222

for your problem

(passthrough=yes)

this is the error you make

how ever i think all right

you have to make passthrough=no

in winbox you will find this in the managle rule remove it from every managl rule it is a mark

Any info on my setup,

Really need to get it working as our sat link went down, and 1 ADSL line is not enough for the clients.
