Two routed gateways based on IP ranges, only one is working

RouterOS General

Hi

For some reason I am stumped at the moment or I have forgotten something crucial.

I am trying to setup routing on a rb1100ah OS 5.24

The client has 2 internet paths:

  1. via Wimax lets call it 41.41.41.72/29
  2. via wireless to us to which we have forwarded live IPs, let call it 197.197.197.72/29

Now path 1 via the wimax is the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and servers and things access from the external network to devices in their network on this works fine.

We have items on their network on the 2nd live IPs however since the default gateway goes the other way a trace in hits their core route and stops. From within our network it works fine but not externally in all the way.

I assume I need to setup a mangle rule for the 2nd range 197.197.197.72/29 and then set a routing mark and push 0.0.0.0/0 routing mark out via that?

So far what I have tried has not worked.

Could someone please give me an example of how to set this up, it should be a 2 or 3 step process.

Many Thanks

Ok, we solved this by setting up openvpn between the client router and our core router on the 197. range over the wireless link and then routed their live ip block over the vpn.
