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. | |

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? | |
