Multiple Gateway issues
Posted: Fri May 08, 2009 1:37 am
I have a MT Router OS 2.9.50 running the hotspot feature which has a main gateway to the internet via T1, it has been working just fine. The RouterOS unit has 3 NICs (NIC1) the public connection(my T1), (NIC2) my private IP range 10.2.2.x (Hotspot) and (NIC3) a connection for the new link 192.168.50.x
I am adding another gateway to the internet which is connected from a remote site using a RB450. On the router board ether1 has an address range of 192.168.50.x and ether5 has the public IP address for the 2nd gateway.
If the second gateway is added to the main gateway area of the Router OS, connections will fail, remove the 2nd gateway and all works fine. If a speed test is being attempted while the 2nd gateway is added it will work for a couple of second and stop. Remove it and again it works.
I have looked thru documentation about multiple gateways and it was mentioned to just add the IP address and it should work, Multiple Gateway simple failover and started to look into Load Balancing over Multiple gateways. I am mostly looking for way to add to my bandwith and supply more.
Suggestions?
