[Mikrotik] VRRP Issue

2012-01-06 Thread Dave Crim
I'm seeing an issue with our VRRP interfaces and am hoping someone can offer help. I run VRRP on 2 border routers with separate internet providers. Let's call them A and B. Internally, they are connected via a bridged network. Router A is primary and most of my public IP space flows through

James, > How does the upstream know which router to send the return traffic to? Both routers mark the BGP Next-Hop as the VRRP address. The upstream router sends all downstream packets to the next-hop address which is received by the router which is the current VRRP master. -- Blake Covarrubi

Ok, with all this said, when you get it setup, I assume in the lab. How will you know which router is active? Can they notify you some how? Casey On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Jacob Heider wrote: > Ok, I reread the VRRP and VRRP-examples pages again, and I don't think I'm > there yet. VRRP

Ok, I reread the VRRP and VRRP-examples pages again, and I don't think I'm there yet. VRRP runs on an interface. Let's try this with examples: Router1: ether1-wan: 7.7.7.5/30 ether2-vrrp: 192.168.1.253/24 vrrp1: 192.168.1.1/24 route: 0.0.0.0/0 -> 7.7.7.4 int = ? Router2: ether1-wan: 7.7.7.5/30

I see. So, thinking back, the VRRP creates a kind of virtual router, which will be the gateway for the LAN (ideally), and which both physical routers will use for their transport out, and the public IP info will go on the virtual router, rather than on either physical router? On 2011-04-28 3:1

As to those details it's way too far back and I did so little work with VRRP I am not certain. Maybe a port between the routers for WAN connectivity through the primary router. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at

So, the backup is only accessible at its internal, real IP while in backup-mode? So, it wouldn't, for example, have internet access for itself? Maybe I just need to set this up and take a look, but what would the box do if you tried to do a /tool fetch url="http://download.mikrotik.com/routeros

You'd set the public IP on both. Only the primary would answer ARP requests. Once the secondary box no longer hears the heartbeat of the primary box, it picks up. There was a MT bug with VRRP ages ago. I do mean ages - probably 2.8 but maybe 2.9. At least v3 I would expect you'd be all right,

Josh, How does that work with respect to the WAN interface. As I understand you'd have: Internet | v WAN Device (modem, etc) | v switched device || vv VRRP MasterVRRP Backup || vv LAN

] Mikrotik VRRP I've been testing out VRRP and it seems to work pretty well if you want to fail over from one machine to another on a single interface. But what I would really like to be able to do is duplicate my MT routers against equipment failure rather than network failure. Example:
