Hi! Great wideo! However, I'm trying to understand two things - the official tutorial adds 4 default routes, you're only adding 2 - why? Also - the tutorial adds mangling and routing tables - what's up with that?

hi,excellent video! ive done this before & it works great. But how do i create the exact same but with one issue being that the one isp router sends a dhcp ip and the 2nd isp router can be dhcp ip or static? Problem is that i cannot manual set isp 1 ip as it changes each time

Interesting. Thanks for this.

In a failover scenario (vice load balancing) its more common to just do recursive on the first route. If the first one is not available then the second route will be used regardless. In this case often folks make two recursive routes for the primary in the case where we go one step further, what if one of the DNS services is down.

another great video, thank you.

Hey Berg, nice video and explanation. Do you mind using RouterOS v7.x, in this newer versions, you need to change target scope also, in order for this to continue working. Otherwise, a horrible headache will appear.

@wyrddoke

Жыл бұрын

Agreed, good video,. To add a bit more explanation - v7 requires scope to be less than (v6 allowed equal to as well) target scope in order to do the next hop lookup. So, when you want to resolve the recursive default route, you need to make sure your target scope is higher than the scope (default is 10 for connected routes) in order for the next hop interface to be used in that lookup. So, increasing the target scope to a value higher than 10 will make the recursive route possible. This will also result in more routes used as recursive routes. Decreasing the Scope value will also work and make the route more likely to be used as the recursive route. by the way Berg, stop with the American rout and pronounce it properly - root

Thanks, network berg for your immense contribution to networking. I have this error from my Mikrotik router port interface below. I have bought the original cable and changed from auto-negotiation to 100mbps speed. This effort did not resolve the issue, kindly advise. Thanks ether2- SECTOR2 RADIO fcs error on link

Thank you so on this way no need i think to add dns because it already added on router for each ISP is it ok ? or i should add dns on ip/dns add dns

But how to apply this if the ISP1 is just giving intermittent connection? The link is up, Internet is online, it just that intermittent with ping reply and timed out, not a total link failure. Can this also do the trick ? I understand that this setup is only for ISP1 with link / interface down or offline.

Hai, I am new to Mikrotik, my isp providing bandwidth by using RouterBOARD 3011UiAS as main server using port 4 and for failover connected ccr1009 to port 5(RouterBOARD 3011UiAS) when main server input goes down i have to manually change route to ccr1009, is their any way for auto failover, and i am using hotspot logins for 70 customers. I hope you understand my question. both lines from same isp

Yeah Martin, I also very much wish you could monitor interface statuses with Netwatch. An alternative would be to just setup a script with the scheduler that you can run at X internvals to check the status of an interface and then use the email tool to send out a notification if an interface status is down. This requires a bit more tweaking and knowhow of the MikroTik scripting language, though I am sure a script like that exists already somewhere on the MikroTik forums. I am planning to someday go more into MikroTik scripting and add videos on it on the channel since I find it to be very useful.

not working with V 7.2.3 (mmips) - its that possible to recursive routing on V 7.2.3 (mmips) ?

Sir please Make a Video On Mikrotik Hotspot Social Login Facebook

My recursive route does not seem to work , not sure what I am doing wrong lol. Immediate gateway just says unknown instead of recursive.

Tested and fail over to backup link works perfect only once the primary link came back online, I have to ask clients to restart their routers.any hack for this?

Excellent video but I am having problems trying to replicate this configuration when the default route is given to me via DHCP server. My fear is if I force to put static route ignoring the DHCP Server's input the ISP changes the IP pool and default gateway my remote site will be isolated. I was thinking more to have the DHCP to assign the default gateway and increase the distance and apply this configuration but the routing table displays unknown immediate gateway

Are you using v7? If yes, recursive routes operate a lot differently, for dynamic connections that uses stuff like DHCP or PPPoE I would recommend rather implementing PCC (Mikrotik made a video on this recently) It's more used for load balance, but can function for failover as well. And works best with a dynamic solution where IPs may change.

Hello Sir. I saw this video, excellent, congrats, however like others said in the comments, my ISPs are using DHCP, so my problem is to make the recursive using DHCP instead.

Doing recursive route with DHCP is possible all you have to do is go to DHCP client click on the + sign, choose the right interface for your WAN connection and at ADD DEFAULT ROUTE you choose NO. By default it is at YES. This will enable you to assign the route manually and help you change the scope.

@@gilbertpinamang1650 how about if we set the default route distance to e.g. 10 and configure gateways not as IP addresses, but as interface names? It seems to work correctly that way, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Once primary link comes up, router is not sending traffic on it. Link gets down, untill we remove cable of second ISP. Please suggest....

Is it possible to implement this with a dual dhcp wan setup that is doing load balancing? It would be nice to be able to monitor up status for both ISP's (and drop one if it is down) while still allowing for the load balancing to occur.

Hi Ethan, if your WAN connections are via DHCP then I would recommend rather implementing PCC. It incorporates firewall mangle rules with packet marking to achieve loadbalancing and failover. Unfortunately I do not have a video on the channel showing how to implement PCC, but following the MikroTik guide should also help you with setting this up. wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PCC

I am getting so frustrated with this! I have tried to do this many times now, but it doesn't work. Both of my ISPs use DHCP. I try to use ports where you us IPs (other than the 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1) - but my primary connection always fails. Secondary seems to work. I never get the status showing 'recursive by x' under the Gateway column under the Route List. The reference you gave for the link to Mikrotik's steps to setup recursive routing doesn't work - maybe an earlier ROS? I have ROS 6.48.6. Mine will not let me use cli to configure /routing/table (the second set of steps). Plus, the steps/method are very different than how you do it. Your way seems simpler and more modern approach. Does this not work with some ISP's? I am using Starlink in bypass mode as my primary and a cellular AT&T connection as my secondary. I cannot find anyone with any instructions how to setup this recursive routing where their ISPs are giving their internal router IPs via DHCP - which is the most common way it is done... Pulling my hair out :(

Hi Andrew, sorry to hear about the frustrations. The reference material I linked is actually for RoSv7 although there are more tweaks you need to do regarding the scope to get things working.

(Probably better than adding the URL here) You can join the discord server here: discord.gg/JZA7vFTF82

everything is ok when you use ip addresses for gateways. but i had rule set not by ip addrress but by interface. and recursive routing is not working that way. why??? normal routing works ok when you use interfaces even simple fail over works but not recursive.
