retundant mikrotik fail-over.

RouterOS Scripting
1

im looking for information on how to setup a dual redundant mikrotik setup.
this includes keeping the configuration the same on both units.

as the CCR1036-8G-2SplusEM does not have dual power feeds. I would like to setup two of them and be able to fail over in the event one of the ccr’s crashed or lost its power.

I have seen alot of example for dual gateways on a single unit but haven’t seen any real documentation for redundant hardware. in my case i would hope for active-passive between the hardware.

background info.
isp will be handing off two fiber links different paths but same network.
with a /27 ip space. non bgp route.

how can i
a.) automaticly fail over between the two routers
b.) automaticly keep the two routers in sync for firewall rules

I guess you can write some script to monitor each other. And take over if one down. Maybe a bonded LAN with stacked switches, and a VLAN channel for monitoring(pulsing). Take over means to enable some interface(VLAN is good idea) or even you can have some api to enable/disable ports in switch(It can be a vlan port so that won’t affect the pulse signal). On the other hand, you maybe need to config all the switch with a PVID for normal clients.
