Failover with two Mikrotik Routers

All,

I have a complex one (for me).

I have two MikroTik routers that are in two separate GEO locations to two separate fiber providers. Both have BGP peers to the provider receiving full routing tables and distributing a few /24 networks of my own back to provider for public IP's.

The two MikroTik are currently connected together in a private network and running OSPF.

My goal is that if Fiber "A" (Lets say) went down. That I could Fail Over to Fiber "B" with also redistributing the Routes over BGP.

I know I am not giving enough info but I'm not sure what Info is needed and I thought this might be a normal application but am struggling finding and documentation on it.

Thanks in advance!

As funny as it sounds, I found that same post two days ago. It is a perfect example of how I need to work with this.

Thanks!!
