I have RB-450G and i want to configure auto redundancy link, one active and anther passive.
Please kindly share me how to configure RB-450G to perform auto fail-over with the same gate way (one gateway and two backbone link).
Thanks for advance!
look at this topic http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/simple-solution-to-smart-failover/38262/1
This url show me the fail-over with two gateway ( wan1:192.168.1.1 and wan2:192.168.2.1).
My project is there are two up-link cables run from different path but only one gateway.
Can i do as my attached file network structure.
doesn’t each drop point have different IP address? why not? this is very interesting to me…
All Drop Points are Layer2 switch configured as STP and they have management IP Address but different VLAN from VLAN that we providing to Mikrotik.
isn’t STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) doing what you need?
My FiberOptic Network Ring is core network with redundancy link so, STP is used to protect Loop (Broadcast Storm in the Network ring). And we use it to distribute our service to subscribers.
Now, i want my subscriber to be redundancy by Mikrotik configured as auto fail-over.
I still think STP is the way to go… you will have to create per-VLAN STPs (or MSTPs)… one that runs in your FiberOptic Ring VLAN and other between MikroTik and Drop Points… that way a loop creates and STP kills one line, the other being active until something goes wrong and the dead one goes active…
I support your Idea, Girith. STP can be used for my project but the problem is does STP in Mikrotik Router compatible with CISCO and Zyxel switch L2 or not.
Please share me the command and configuration.
STP is an industry standard protocol so it should work no matter what vendor… try searching the forums and wiki (STP failover, STP redundancy)
