Mikrotik Backup interface - standby mode

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hi all,

I need your help to understand if Mikrotik RouterOS permit to configure one interface in standby mode (down), like Cisco backup interface (not VRRP).

Appreciate your support

I assume you want an interface to be administratively disabled until the tracked interface changes state?

You could do this by creating an active/backup bond interface and configure IPs on the resulting bond interface:

/interface bonding
add mode=active-backup name=bond primary=sfp-sfpplus1 slaves=sfp-sfpplus1,sfp-sfpplus2

Thanks for the Tip :slight_smile:
