mesh within 2 EoIP tunnel (failover szenario)

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

hi!

i have setup on one RB750g 2 EoIP Tunnel pointing both the the same destination host.
the main idea is to have 2 l2 transparent tunnel - one is the primary the other the possible failover tunnel.

i have tried to setup an mesh with the coresponding members.. the fdb is filled with the designated
mac-adresses… but for some reason the tunnel starts to loop. how can i prevent this?

therefore the backup is not right working.. may its an mac-learn issue ?

the questions:

  • how can i avoid the loop (no spanningtree possible of course i dont have a bridge)


    may someone can help me ?

thanks!

Maybe i miss understand. You have a router board (RB1) connecting to another router (RB2) with EOIP (1) and you add another EOIP (2) tunnel from the same RB1 connecting to RB2 as fail over?

yes you are right.. this is the thin i try to realize.

If you want redundant, you will have to install more RB, maybe RB3 and RB4. Does not help to have two PPPoE links on same router board. If RB1 or RB2 get problem it will influence both PPPoE tunnels.
