I have been trying some time to get some form of failover between isps to work. I have tried all the different scripts on the mikrotik page I could find and all come back to the same problem.
I have ISP A on port 1 and ISP B on port 2. In my routes I have ISP A distance 1 and ISP B distance 2. Even if I unhook the ISP A form the incoming connection. My script will run and will change ISP A distance to 3 however it still get pings out of port 1 and thus runs the up script. Below is a copy of what script I have been trying to run. AS i said the scripts run and work but why can I still ping out a port that has no ISP connection? It gets a ping through about every 15th try. Then the next problem I see is if the ISP does come up I still do not get 5 pings in a row for the script to run to switch back the distance.
script 1:
:local i 0; {:do {:set i ($i + 1)} while (($i < 5) && ([/ping 64.233.169.99 interval=3 count=1]=0))};
:if ($i=5 && [/ip route get [find comment="Default Route"] distance]=1) do={:log info "Main Gateway down";
/ip route set [find comment="Default Route"] distance=3}
script 2:
:local i 0; {:do {:set i ($i + 1)} while (($i < 5) && ([/ping 64.233.169.99 interval=3 count=1]=1))};
:if ($i=5 && [/ip route get [find comment="Default Route"] distance]=3) do={:log info "Main Gateway up";
/ip route set [find comment="Default Route"] distance=1}

Re: ISP failover
This works. I'm using it for months..

Re: ISP failover
This wiki example is not working for me.
And I've tried this:
and this is still not working. Do I still need something more in /ip route or not?
Without this failover stuff I have default gateway and when I put this configuration and disable default gateway Internet stops. Please let me know what I am doint wrong? Thank you in advance.
Code: Select all
/ip route
add dst-address=Host1 gateway=GW1 scope=10
add dst-address=Host2 gateway=GW2 scope=10
add distance=1 gateway=Host1 routing-mark=ISP1 check-gateway=ping
add distance=2 gateway=Host2 routing-mark=ISP1 check-gateway=ping
add distance=1 gateway=Host2 routing-mark=ISP2 check-gateway=ping
add distance=2 gateway=Host1 routing-mark=ISP2 check-gateway=pingCode: Select all
/ip route
add dst-address=Host1 gateway=GW1 scope=10
add dst-address=Host2 gateway=GW2 scope=10
add distance=1 gateway=GW1 routing-mark=ISP1 check-gateway=ping
add distance=2 gateway=GW2 routing-mark=ISP1 check-gateway=ping
add distance=1 gateway=GW2 routing-mark=ISP2 check-gateway=ping
add distance=2 gateway=GW1 routing-mark=ISP2 check-gateway=pingWithout this failover stuff I have default gateway and when I put this configuration and disable default gateway Internet stops. Please let me know what I am doint wrong? Thank you in advance.
Re: ISP failover
You need some mangle rules as well. An example is here:

Re: ISP failover
It's good that the author of:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Advanced_ ... _Scripting
didn't say a word about mangle.

Re: ISP failover
What of these two configurations is correct?
1. This is from wiki:
But I supose that Host1 and Host2 cant't be our gateways because they are not on our network, they can be Google and Yahoo, like author of wiki tutorial said. Instead, I think GW1 and GW2 should be used:

acim, the configuration in wiki is correct. Read how recursive nexthop lookup works:

Thank you very much!
Re: ISP failover
Hi, I don't know if it's the same (or similar) problem: I have a PC (IP=158.110.30.56) that can access to internet with gateway=158.110.30.2.
Now I would make a second connection (through a GPRS modem) when first connection is not available.
So I made this:
where 74.125.232.113 and 69.147.125.65 are addresses of www.google.com and www.yahoo.com
Is it right?
