How come Mikrotik 2.8.11 will not allow multiple default gateways? I cannot use the multiple gateways (x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y) because only 1 preferred source can be used, and it doesn’t work that way (masq nat doesn’t work)
When I add a second default gateway (ecmp) it makes one or the other invalid and it cannot be used. I also tried changing the cost / distance to another value and no go either…
Is this a bug or is there something I am missing?
Thanks,
Sam
why don’t you simply use the default value? most likely it will work fine if you don’t specify the preferred source
I can leave the preferred source blank and it should use the outgoing interface as the source, but it still flags one route as being invalid. I think the ONLY way to get multiple gateways is to use the x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y method, but then I run into the bug where NAT addresses from one gateway are sent out the wrong interface… I’ve reported it, but it seems like no one cares to fix it - maybe I am the only one that sees this?
