VLAN 5 out WAN1, VLAN10 out WAN2, VLAN15 Loadbal (ok on ROS6, not 7)

RouterOS General
1

In regards to the above topic, I use to be able to do this on ROS6 but it doesn’t seem to work in ROS7.10.2

I’ve done the following:

  1. WAN1 distance = 10, WAN2 distance = 12
  2. Added out-WAN1 and out-WAN2 in Routing > Tables
  3. When I copy my dynamically assigned route for WAN2 and change the routing table to out-WAN2, on clicking ok, it changes back to main

What am I doing wrong. Is there a guide or previous post for this on the forum.

Thanks

I am reading this:

Failover (WAN Backup)
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=26476608

There is something I don’t understand. In the section “Adding Multiple Hosts” it says:

What is this for exactly and what do I use in place of 10.10.10.1 and 10.20.20.2?

Update 1: I just finished the config as per this page with gateway values of my 2 ISPs. It does not work. The “virtual hops” without any explanations makes no sense.

This is completely different (he doesn’t use “virtual hops”) compared to “Recursive Routing + Failover - Mikrotik RouterOS v7” in

Update 2:

When you state a clear set of requirements, then come back right now your head is so confused in the config its hard to know what your needs are.

a. identify user(s)/device(s) and groups of users/devices including internal external users
b. identify the traffic they must be able to execute including the admin.

As far as WANS go
a. IS it primary and secondary
b. some users use wan1 some users use wan2
c. PCC load balancing.

In case of a,b,c is there any failover required.

Problem solved. This page by pcunite “MultiWAN with RouterOS” http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/multiwan-with-routeros/163698/1 solved my problems and is explained well. Load balancing is not there yet but this shouldn’t be too difficult to track down.

Unfortunately the mikrotik page was not clear at all (specially the “virtual hop” bit and why it is needed, as pcunite’s solution did not mention this at all).
