ping interface=ether1-gateway 89.xx.xx.xx

Hi all.

I have 1 question.

There are 2 wan interface Main and reserve and script that switch them.
main - dhcp
reserve - adsl

When i’m on reserv channel i have
[admin1@pmr2-Office] > ping interface=ether1-gateway google.com
HOST SIZE TTL TIME STATUS
173.194.113.197 timeout
173.194.113.197 timeout
173.194.113.197 timeout


DNS works fine, routes too.

Then i’m om main channel

[admin1@pmr2-Office] > ping interface=pppoe-out1 orange.md
HOST SIZE TTL TIME STATUS
94.243.64.199 56 56 118ms
94.243.64.199 56 56 115ms
sent=2 received=2 packet-loss=0% min-rtt=115ms avg-rtt=116ms max-rtt=118ms

All looks fine.

What i do wrong ?

We need to see your config

Do not use interface param when pinging in ipv4 broadcast networks. It reliably works only with ipv6 and point to point interfaces.

But how can i get a satus of the WAN connection ?

Nowadays I do the same way.

:local isp2 [/ping interface=ether2 $CheckIp2 count=$PingCount];

FireWall all pass through.

Fix
I did like that

2 A S  ;;; pppoe ping test
        8.8.4.4/32                         pppoe-out1                1
 3 A S  ;;; Ethernet ping test
        8.8.8.8/32                         89.17.36.7              1

and script

:local PingCount 5

:local CheckIp1 8.8.8.8
:local CheckIp2 8.8.4.4

:local isp1 [/ping $CheckIp1 count=$PingCount]
:local isp2 [/ping $CheckIp2 count=$PingCount]
#/log warning $isp1
#/log warning $isp2
:local BackGw [/ip route get [find comment="gw2"] disable]

#if main ISP is DOWN and backup ISP is UP then:

:if (($isp1<=4) && ($isp2=$PingCount) && ($BackGw=true)) do={
:log error "Set routes to backup ISP"
/ip route disable [find comment="gw1"]
/ip route enable [find comment="gw2"]
/log error "Set routes to backup ISP"
}

:local MainGw [/ip route get [find comment="gw1"] disable]

#if main ISP is UP then:

:if (($isp1=$PingCount) && ($MainGw=true)) do={
:log error "Set routes to main ISP"
/ip route enable [find comment="gw1"]
/ip route disable [find comment="gw2"]
/log error "Set routes to main ISP"
}

Thx for your time!
