  • MikroTik PCC Load Balancing over Unequal Dual WAN Links

    Hi, you are here means you are finding a Load Balancing and Link Redundancy solution with Unequal WAN links in your MikroTik Router. If so, it is your right place. In my previous article I discussed how to configure a Dual WAN Load Balancing and Link Redundancy network using PCC method but it was assumed that both WAN links have equal bandwidth. But in real situation, you may have unequal WAN links such as ISP1 may have 10MB bandwidth and ISP2 may have 20MB bandwidth. In this case, PCC Load Balancing and Link Redundancy configuration will be a little bit different. So, in this article I will show how to configure Load Balancing and Link Redundancy network using PCC method which will have unequal Dual WAN connections. Core Devices and IP Information To configure a load balancing with failover network, I am using MikroTik RouterOS v6.38.1 that has two ISP connections and a LAN network. IP information that I am using for this network configuration are given below. ISP1 IP 192.168.30.2/30 and Gateway IP 192.168.30.1 ISP2 IP 192.168.60.2/30 and Gateway IP 192.168.60.1 LAN network: 10.10.70.0/24 and LAN Gateway IP 10.10.70.1/24 DNS IP: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 This IP information is just [...]

    MikroTik Load Balancing with 2 PPPoE and 1 Static WAN using ECMP |   September 24, 2019

    ECMP provides almost 100% reliable load balancing and link redundancy solution. ECMP is a per connection load balancing where connection is marked with source and destination IP pair. In my previous article I discussed how to configure DUAL WAN load balancing with failover using ECMP method where WAN connections were static IP Addresses. But some ISP companies use PPPoE service for their client connection. So, some network administrators become confused to configure load balancing with PPPoE WAN connection because PPPoE [...]

    MikroTik VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) ensures high available internet network. If any organization requires uninterrupted internet connection, MikroTik VRRP implementation will be a vital solution for them. MikroTik VRRP creates a virtual router accumulating two or more physical routers and ensures uninterrupted internet connection keeping activate one physical router always. That means, if any physical router fails to operate due to any hardware failure, MikroTik VRRP uses another backup router for internet gateway until the running router comes back [...]

    User Management in Linux (Red Hat/CentOS) |   September 28, 2017

    User management is an important part of Linux (especially Red Hat Enterprise Linux) system administration. Linux users can be administrated using user or group administration GUI (Graphical User Interface) tool as well as through Red Hat/CentOS Linux command prompt. But I will always suggest you to do command line user administration as much as possible because in production GUI will not be provided always. Many people who are learning Linux administration do not know all features of user administration command [...]

    CAPsMAN Channel Planning with Non-Overlapping Frequency |   March 16, 2020

    MikroTik CAPsMAN is an excellent application for managing multiple CAPs (Controlled Access Point) in a Wireless Network. But multiple APs create frequency overlapping issue if channels are not configured properly. Channel overlapping is required for smooth connection while roaming but there should not be frequency overlapping because frequency overlapping makes wireless performance so poor. In my previous article, I discussed MikroTik CAPsMAN basic configuration with default channel configuration. In this article, I will discuss how to configure CAPsMAN channel to [...]
