MIkrotik - REAL HA Configuration Installing Video demonstrating/explaining ha-mikrotik by The Network Berg Hardware originally developed forīootstrapped from complete erased routers and then config built up once HA installed. Using a dedicated interface, VRRP, scripts, and backups, we can make a pair of Mikrotik routers highly available.Ĭonfiguration and files are actively synchronized to the standby and the standby remains ready to takeover when the VRRP heartbeat fails. Start forwarding instantly from your upstream switch. Test this very carefully, you will get very strange results if your ports Will happen fast enough and the Layer2/3 won't have time to come up and cause issues. If you use spanning tree on your switches, it is likely that this So that it doesn't end up taking traffic (MACs are cloned) from the active router. It needs to quickly disable all of the interfaces The #1 issue is a race condition during the startup of the secondary after it gets an updated configuration.
#MIKROTIK ROUTERS CODE#
You will need to do a bit of code reading and testing to figure out how it works.
This is being delivered as a proof of concept. Proceed at your own risk, the code can potentionally wipe outĪll of your configuration and files on your device.Įxtensive documentation is still needed. This was developed on the CCR1009-8g-1s-1s+ and is in use in our production environment.
#MIKROTIK ROUTERS SERIAL#
This should be tested in a lab setup with complete out of band serial access. Please do not test this on production routers. Please ensure you are using compatible hardware, RouterOS, and ha-mikrotik releases. This has been tested stable across 6 different pairs of CCR1009s for over a year, there have been multiple adminstrative failover events and a few cases of hardware failovers. If you are not comfortable testing new versions that make break your entire setup, wait for the author or another party to confirm compatibility.
#MIKROTIK ROUTERS UPGRADE#
Do not just upgrade RouterOS expecting it to work, Mikrotik has broken a series of features that ha-mikrotik relies on at various points in time. Anything newer is unknown and not recommended until tested extensively. RouterOS 6.44.6 is the only version that the author runs and tests with as of now.
You will need your own laptop, everything else is provided.High availability code for Mikrotik routers Status: December 10th 2019 Theory will be combined with practical application so you will retain what you learn. The lecture will cover all of the material in the MikroTik official certification class materials plus much more content added by me based on subjects students ask for most. Classes include labs where you will configure routers and build networks.
You will need your own laptop, everything else is provided. Lecture all of the material in the MikroTik official certification class materials plus much more content added by me based on subjects students ask for most. Classes range from a few days to a week, depending on the course. Basic, MTCNA (MikroTik Certified Network Associate) or advanced certification including MTCWE, MTCRE, MTCTCE, or MTCUME. MikroTik administered tests are given the last day of class so you can get your MikroTik.
