Sep 12, 2015 at 20:41 comment added Dex Okay, I just satisfactorily implemented Router's VRRP. Unfortunately for the moment I do not see how should I implement switch backup, while I removed one from the schema. In the end everything work good in Mikrotik.
Sep 12, 2015 at 19:19 comment added Ron Maupin No, they will both be active. You want to make sure that when traffic destined for one router's WAN interface comes into the other router it will be sent to the correct router and come into it on an outside, not inside, interface.
Sep 12, 2015 at 10:25 comment added Dex And what if one of the routers is "active backup", no traffic will go through it, unless the main one is down?

Sep 11, 2015 at 23:09 comment added Ron Maupin You can make sure that any packets coming in from the WAN come into the router on an interface marked as outside. This may involve a routed link between the WAN routers that is the best path from one to the other and is marked as outside on each router. The WAN routers should not NAT on this link. This may create other problems for your design, so you should test thoroughly.
Sep 11, 2015 at 16:32 comment added Dex What do usually people do in such a case? I just do not want to rely on one Mikrotik, we've got a second one. Does it actually mean that the best solution will be to introduce a second Mikrotik as "sleeping" backup where we can only physically re-connect? Or to have a third, more reliable device, that will do the job?
