4 Wan LoadBalaning / Failover with Mikrotik

Sat Sep 07, 2013 10:26 pm

Hi,

I am trying to do LoadBalancing / Failover with Mikrotik with limited success
as a guide i have used :

http://fatalsite.net/?p=100

And i tried to tweak it for 4wans and to my network IPs

I would like to be able to detect if a Wan is down not by pinging the ip of the modem but by some external host like 8.8.8.8. It would also be nice if i could consider a wan down if it had a slow ping or Packet loss.

What i have accomplished so far is to have internet by its unstable and websites don't always load, the gateways dont seem to be used evenly and detection of failure in one of the wans is slow.

Obviously i will have mistakes in my code since i have not done this before using Mikrotik were are my details

Details:

Mini-ITX

VIA C7 1ghz 512 ram


ether1:192.168.1.1/24
ether2:192.168.2.150/24 GW: 192.168.2.100/24

ether5:192.168.5.150/24 GW: 192.168.5.100/24

Re: 4 Wan LoadBalaning / Failover with Mikrotik

Sat Sep 07, 2013 11:53 pm

Update

I found out that my Mikrotik box while it routes internet to the clients behind it the box itself doesn't have internet

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/7402/rf1b.png

so i added the following code:


/ip route

add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.2.100 scope=255 target-scope=10 distance=5

add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.3.100 scope=255 target-scope=10 distance=6

add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.4.100 scope=255 target-scope=10 distance=7

add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.5.100 scope=255 target-scope=10 distance=8

http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8339/riic.png

It seems to be working a bit better now but its far from perfect

Re: 4 Wan LoadBalaning / Failover with Mikrotik

Sun Sep 08, 2013 12:43 am

Thanks for the reply can you plz modify your code to fit my IPs and 4 wans ?

My Details are :

LAN: ether1:192.168.1.1/24
Wan1: ether2:192.168.2.150/24 GW: 192.168.2.100/24
Wan2: ether3:192.168.3.150/24 GW: 192.168.3.100/24
Wan3: ether4:192.168.4.150/24 GW: 192.168.4.100/24
Wan4: ether5:192.168.5.150/24 GW: 192.168.5.100/24

I would really appreciate your help, if you send me the modified code i will test it right away

Thanks again

Re: 4 Wan LoadBalaning / Failover with Mikrotik

Sun Sep 08, 2013 1:27 am

I have some questions how does the code detect when a wan is down ?

i don't want to consider that a wan is down by pinging the modem's ip the modems don't go down often i want to be able to evaluate ping and packet loss like i was doing when i had PFsense. How do i modify the code to support determining the status of the wan by pinging external hosts like 8.8.8.8 ?

I also would like to be able to use Web Proxy

Slow down, learn more about MikroTik, read this and start small.

I did read the link you send me and i have already tired to incorporate ( possibly not correctly ) what you send me in my code

It would really help me if you could kindly review my code and point out mistakes and possibly discuss on them .

And i am also known not to start small:

"small" is not that interesting

Okay, I'll try to look it over later. I have to go somewhere at the moment. Could you give me an output of "export compact" too? Remove any personal information.

Well i have my box setup with linux for loadbalancing right now ( so i can have internet ) until i have a Mikrotik solution ready so its a bit hard to get an export right now.

But really i just pasted the code via SSH and that's it. Maybe i can tell you all you need to know.

Thanks for your help :)

I've looked over your last output. As is, it will not work namely because /ip firewall mangle is in the wrong place. I apologize, I don't know enough to teach you. The reason I asked for the export is so I could see what the router is really doing, not what you're posting here. I'm too new with MikroTik to help you further. Hopefully others will chime in. Take care.
