Load-Balance with dynamic gatway setings

Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:27 pm

how can i use 2 or more interface without static IPs or gatwayes? i have only dynamic IPs and gatwayes with WAN?
how can posibale to load-balance with (dhcp) dynamic WAN setings?
like; WAN-1 (with DHCP)
WAN-2 (with DHCP)
LAN (192.168.1.254)

asssuming both gateways do not have the same network, then you should be able to use v3 interface routing option.

If you want to load balance wan connections take a look at the following wiki entry:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Load_Balancing_Persistent

However in your case you will need to use masquerading instead of source nat and you will need to use interface routing instead of next hop routing.

I.E. instead of:
/ ip route 
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=10.111.0.1 scope=255 target-scope=10 routing-mark=odd 
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=10.112.0.1 scope=255 target-scope=10 routing-mark=even
you would use:
/ ip route 
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=wan1 scope=255 target-scope=10 routing-mark=odd 
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=wan2 scope=255 target-scope=10 routing-mark=even
and with NAT, instead of:
/ ip firewall nat 
add chain=srcnat connection-mark=odd action=src-nat to-addresses=10.111.0.2 to-ports=0-65535 
add chain=srcnat connection-mark=even action=src-nat to-addresses=10.112.0.2 to-ports=0-65535
you would use:
/ ip firewall nat 
add chain=srcnat connection-mark=odd action=masquerade out-interface=wan1 
add chain=srcnat connection-mark=even action=masquerade out-interface=wan2
let me know if that helps

What is the differeny if we using
/ ip firewall nat 
add chain=srcnat  action=masquerade src-address=[LAN/Local]

2 things are different:

1. You need to use the connection marking: "connection-mark="
2. src-address=[LAN/Local] only works if your IP is static, the first question in this topic was about load balancing with DHCP / Dynamic WAN IP's.

Yes bunrsa is right, you cannot use action=src-nat because then you will have to specify to-addresses=X.X.X.X and in your case you do not know which address you will get from DHCP, just use masquerade out the interface. So, just follow the bunrsa example and you will solve this issue.
