Mikrotik Failover Script Strange Behavior - Mikrotik. If one of them fails to respond there could be a problem with that specific ip address, not with the internet line. The most vulnerable in my network was a ubiquiti airfiber 24 (af24) upstream from the tower i am connected to wirelessly.
Mikrotik scripting
Netwatch must be configured to ping the internet ip's every 10 seconds and perform a script action when it is up or down. This mikrotik failover technique also uses a script blend. When both ip addresses aren’t responding the script changes the distance of the primary and secondary route. How to do automatic ecmp failover. In this article, i will not only simplify the configuration of mikrotik automatic failover using netwatch, i will ensure that this solution will address your end. I would welcome any input on how it can be improved. Automaticaly add/remove required routes to remote test hosts. The af24 is great but 24 ghz and rain do not mix. So you have to have 2 scripts, one that runs and does stuff and handles situation when some value is not received as expected, and other script does the job, that can fail. This script demonstrates one method of doing automatic failover using the netwatch function and using scripting to enable or disable gateways.
If a ping failure is detected a certain number of times, the script increases distance of all default routes that use the gateway present on the interface. Fri dec 03, 2021 7:19 pm. For example for failover mikrotik, this is the topology used: If a ping failure is detected a certain number of times, the script increases distance of all default routes that use the gateway present on the interface. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. If you want to have redundant tunnels between two locations with two upstreams you cannot configure ipsec redundancy on mikrotik because one ipsec policy is always marked as “invalid” by the os. I made a mikrotik script. The most vulnerable in my network was a ubiquiti airfiber 24 (af24) upstream from the tower i am connected to wirelessly. As a result, if second script fails, first one that called second script to do the job will continue. I tried rotating 2 ip addresses (because routeros does not have a swap command so i need 3 variables to rotate ip addresses). The af24 is great but 24 ghz and rain do not mix.
