Hi all,
I have a LAN with two WAN connection. Each link has a WAN router interface with the public and private interface as you can see from the network diagram attached. Private IP of the routers are gateways of my LAN.
I install Mikrotik OS v.5.18 and would like to configure it as default gateway for my LAN and use it for Load Balancing, Web Proxy and Bandwith Management.
Mikrotik PC has 3 interfaces but, only one is connected, because it’s same LAN with the private IP of the routers of our provider.
I want to know if it’s possible to configure these services on My network architecture using just one ethernet interface.
If no, what should be the best configuration ?
Thank you in advance for your help
For two of those desired features it would be easier if the traffic flows through the RouterBoard - i.e. connect the RouterBoard to the two WAN links and to the LAN.
Place the mikrotik instead router1 and router2. Both wans into and one lan out. Then the settings… search for dual wan scenarios, pcc, failover here on the forum and check wiki first.
routers 1& 2 are configured by the ISP, so I can link directly to mikrotik private interfaces of two routers, but they all will remain in the same LAN.
In this case, Mikrotik can be use for the load balancing, bandwith management and web filter ?

Normally there is no need to use three devices instead one. You should agree with your isp on the settings and his routers removal. You should at least know what to set on your end of his wire in order to connect successfully.
Hello dear all,
this problem has been solve by changing network configuration and using mikrotik router os as dual wan router.
Thanks a lot for your ideas
