Ok, I need some help. I have a RB153 and 2 ISP’s and am trying to get it do do failover. I have tried the scripts I found in the wiki, but haven’t been able to get any to work yet. This is the running config I have right now:
/ ip address
add address=216.57.xxx.xxx/24 network=216.57.xxx.0 broadcast=216.57.161.255
interface=ether1 comment=“” disabled=no
add address=192.168.10.1/24 network=192.168.10.0 broadcast=192.168.10.255
interface=bridge1 comment=“” disabled=no
add address=192.168.1.6/24 network=192.168.1.0 broadcast=192.168.1.255
interface=ether2 comment=“” disabled=no
/ ip proxy
set enabled=no port=8080 parent-proxy=0.0.0.0:0 maximal-client-connecions=1000
maximal-server-connectons=1000
/ ip proxy access
add dst-port=23-25 action=deny comment=“block telnet & spam e-mail relaying”
disabled=no
/ ip route
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=216.57.xxx.x check-gateway=ping scope=255
target-scope=10 comment=“” disabled=no
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.1.1 distance=5 scope=255
target-scope=10 comment=“” disabled=no
/ ip firewall nat
add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1 action=masquerade comment=“” disabled=no
add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether2 action=masquerade comment=“” disabled=no
I have found that if I am running a ping command in the MT and unplug ether1 the MT will continue to ping after a few seconds (going out ether2), but the PC will not. In order to get the PC to ping, I have to go in and disable ether1. If I disable and then re-enable right after, when the dead link comes back it will automatically switch back and the PC won’t miss a beat with its pings. I am to the point now of trying to find a script that will automatically disable then re-enable the interface if x dies, but have been unable to figure out how. I have tried using netwatch, but it runs my script before the other interface comes on line. I have been fighting with this thing for a week now and would appreciate any help anyone has.
