  • MikroTik VRRP Configuration with Load Sharing

    MikroTik VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) ensures high availability 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 again.  In the previous article, I discussed the basic MikroTik VRRP configuration to establish a high available internet network. But in basic configuration, the backup router keeps completely idle during Backup state and this behavior may be considered as waste of valuable resources. In MikroTik VRRP, it is possible to set backup router as a gateway for some clients and this method is known as load-sharing scheme. In this article, I will discuss how to configure MikroTik VRRP with Load Sharing scheme. Network Diagram To configure MikroTik VRRP with Load Sharing scheme, I am following a network diagram like the below image. In this network, two MikroTik RouterOS (R1_RouterOS and R2_RouterOS) are member of a MikroTik VRRP with load sharing [...]
