2 mikritik as redundancy router include their configuration

Mon May 16, 2005 6:35 am

Hi all, i've set 2 mikrotik as redundancy router based on OSPF, not VRRP. The second router has higher OSPF cost.
In the main router, i have several configuration such as bandwidth queueing, nat, etc.
The question, how the second router can get the same configuration automatically like rsyncd in other OS.
Thx before

need same info

If someone can comment on this . I need to do this either via OSPF or VRRP . Our routers already do bgp and routing (regular through 2 isps and some policy routes) - thats it . How easy would it be to replicate the config over to the second guy via vrrp or ospf and how seamless would the failover be ?

redundancy

Neither VRRP nor OSPF replicate configuration settings, and they are not supposed to do this.

You might be able to come up with a (probably not very elegant) solution with export and import commands and FTP or something...

well we cant just copy if we use vrrp or ospf because ip addressing will be the same or other conflicts and u cant do it .... MT should have some arrangement for this shouldnt it.

If you were to copy an entire configuration then of course there would be IP address conflicts and maybe other problems, but you could export/import selected sections of the configuration, such as /ip firewall or /ppp etc.

But I agree, all in all that's not very practical.

another big issue could probably be that we use 2.8.24 and 2.9 is around the corner . Our implementation becomes so non std that migration maybe a problem . They say they have better control on the bgp implementation in 2.9 . Lets hope there is more to even the failover system.
