Hello everybody
I have been looking for information, someone helping me regarding configuring my Mikrotik routerboard 1100 to failover 2 internet lines.
this is my network plan:
ISP 1 (main line) will be: DHCP Client
I’ll use ether11
ISP 2 (Backup line) will be: PPPoE
I’ll use ether12
and my local bridge will be via ether13
Could you help me please.?
Thank You.
There are many threads for failover did you do a search on the forums.
Since both your ISPs provide dynamic WANIP addresses you will need to add distance in your client settings…
The IP DHCP client one defaults to a distance of 1, so if that is your primary then leave it ( looked under the Advanced TAB )
The PPPoe Client under the TAB 'Dial Out" also has a distance setting. Set this to 2.
Now you have the most basic failover setup.
However if you want more sophisticated setups, suggesting you use the script area in the IP DHCP client setup as per the below link, and stick with the simple yes use default route iwth distance=2 for the pppoe client settings.
This one is great for IP DHCP client → http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/ha-isp-recursive-routing-isp-failover-using-dhcp/166614/1
Thank You for your reply.
I checked the link you mentioned, but it’s not what I need, because I will use one dhcp ISP
and one broadband pppoe ISP.
Apparently you can use the pppoe-interface name in your routes and that will pick up changes in gateway IP and thus a script is not needed only for the IP DHCP client.
