Just wanted to be sure that RouterOS 3.3 can handle this. We want to multihome our internet connection with two ISPs and two interfaces on our MikroTik box. Our private side is a simple 192.168.1.0/24 network plugged into ether2. I’m assuming the best way to do this is to assign one public IP address to, say, ether5 and the other to ether4 and define the distance for the preferred route to be lower than the other. Correct?
Also, our current setup has our 192.168.1.0/24 gateway address assigned to bridge1 which spans ether1 - ether4. The connection is plugged into ether2, so I’m assuming the first thing I need to do is reassign 192.168.1.1 to ether2 rather than having it span bridge1.
Is RouterOS capable of what I want to do here and is this the best way?
I guess where I’m confused now is does routerOS automatically know what interface these gateways are to be associate with based on the address assigned each interface? Or is that something that doesn’t matter with routes?
Do I need any /ip firewall mangle or /ip firewall nat rules as discussed in the load balancing Wiki?

Yes it’s automatic.

I do have one. Sit back and relax until someone will answer
