Use ANY MikroTik router combination to achieve Network Redundancy in case of hardware failure (VRRP)

Very informative!

Nice explanation. Right to the point. Just a question: How does the routing work on the master, if two interfaces, vrrp and bridge, are in rhe same subnet (192.168.88.0/24)?

Glad you enjoyed the video. All traffic will be routed to the VRRP interface instead of the bridge interface. The VRRP interfaces all form a 'virtual router' which acts as the gateway for the network and all rules you create should treat it as such. Since you would be using multiple routers, the bridge IP of each router will be how you can access the intended device for management purposes. This way the VRRP and bridge interfaces can be on the same subnet without issue.

I like really like MikroTik, but they need a completely overall of theirs software, hi availability is now so simple to configure in others vendors that even a kid can do it, this level of complexity is obsolete, what what happens when you have complexity? Things fail and no redundancy is achieve. Thanks for the video anyway, but I will not be using this for sure.

I felt the same way when I first tried Mikrotik a year ago. Now I don’t understand how I lived without it.

@@vitaliypro8441 I feel exactly the other way, how I could spend hours and hours studying and learning MikroTik on things that can be done on others vendors is just 2 clicks, but I give you something, was dam good to learn networking.
