PCC and DHCP allocated gateways

RouterOS General
1

Hi

I have a PCC setup with a DHCP allocated default gateway on a cable modem connection,which is likely to change when a new DHCP IP address is allocated.

On a DSL PPPoe connection, it is easy to specify the PPPOe interface as the default gateway in PCC rules, but how I can do similar things for a DHCP allocated WAN connection?

At the moment, I can manually specify the default gateway for the cable modem connection and PCC works fine, but there is a risk of the DHCP allocated gateway changing…

Thanks

I think you can use ECMP routing. Try creating a default route but specify two gateways and use the interface instead of using the IP address. The behavior of having two or more gateways is to load balance the traffic across the gateways. Lookup ECMP for more info.

Watch out for top state invalid issues which would most likely cause you trouble with https sites. If you have issues then you’ll need to mark connections and keep each connection on just one uplink.
