router source ip for upgrade

Hi,
I got an RB4011 which got an peer to peer connection for uplink. The default route point at the remote peer. This works fine for the internal subnets.

Checking for a upgrade however does not. The RBseems to selects its P2P address to do so for it lies in the default route subnet, but the remote does not allow for it. Makes sense, the net is meant for Peering only.

Can we let the RB run the dns requests & package download from any of it’s other adresses ??

modify the DNS IP 8.8.8.8 and Gateway IP 1.2.3.4, RB IP 4.3.2.1 accordling to your needs.

/ip route
add distance=1 dst-address=8.8.8.8/32 gateway=1.2.3.4  pref-src=4.3.2.1

= for go to 8.8.8.8, go over IP 1.2.3.4 using 4.3.2.1

Hi,

Thnx for the suggestion. It would however impact all subnets behind it, but … since i need it to pick ROS software from a specific host the idea worked because that’s that one hosts sole purpose.
(think it would would be neat if you could specify the source ip to use for upgrades)

Thnx
