I've run into a problem with SNMP reads and I'm hoping it's just something stupid I've overlooked. I searched the forum and haven't found this topic discussed, let me know if I've missed the thread.
The Scenario:
Mikrotik Router fed with Multiple feeds as part of a loop (OSPF Routing), OSPF Costing setup so one path is better than another. Interface 1 is all traffic incoming to the router, Interface 2 is all traffic leaving the router.
The problem:
When both links are active, SNMP Reads to the Mikrotik Time out. If One link is dropped, so traffic is going in and out of the same interface, The reads work just fine. I've tried doing an SNMP read of the IP on the OSPF interface, and Setting up a loopback interface with a /32 address, neither one lets me SNMP if both links are active. Everything always responds fine to pings. If the Paths are Equal cost, SNMP reads work just fine.
Anyone else run into this?
Is there something simple I'm missing, or do I have to go and mess around with firewall output rules and try to force the SNMP Traffic leaving the router over a specific interface.
