For that small of a network I'd probably just use static routing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13349954 Fri, 06 May 2005 23:46:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13349494 VariableARK : and would i have to setup ospf or some routing protocol, and if so how to do it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13349494 Fri, 06 May 2005 22:43:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13339426 VariableARK : well i have to reason to bridge now, as it is just as expensive to bridge as it is to route with mikrotik, which is what i am using from now on(if i can figure out all the details)

maybe in the future i will setup a more redundant system, but for now this is all that i can do.

here is a MUCH more detailed drawing of workings of ip network, tell me what you all think!

Can you create a ring of that graph in any way?
If you are not bridging and can create a few rings in your graph then OSPF will auto-magically heal your route tables if a segment of the ring is taken out.

But if you need to bridge, route as deep into your network as possible and then bridge. Or use proxy-arp instead of bridging I guess.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13332916 Wed, 04 May 2005 22:48:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13330441 VariableARK : so would i route only at the backhauls pointing back at towards my "noc"?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13330441 Wed, 04 May 2005 17:42:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13330425 cmaenginsb : It depends on network sizing and other goals. If you only have 2-3 pops and aren't looking to scale then bridging is probably ok, anything more and you need to look into routing.

You might not route all of the backbone segments, instead just bridge them but route all traffic jumping on and off the backbone at a certain pop. You can get into trouble with routing and shaky bachauks if you don't do this.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13330425 Wed, 04 May 2005 17:40:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13329967 VariableARK : would you recommend routing over bridging?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13329967 Wed, 04 May 2005 16:46:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13325300 cmaenginsb : Yes MT supports OSPF.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13325300 Wed, 04 May 2005 00:17:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13325228 sporkme : If that were a wired network, I'd look at OSPF. Do MikrotiK boxes provide a functional ospfd? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13325228 Wed, 04 May 2005 00:05:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13324532 VariableARK : i would like to route my network as seen in the picture, i will soon be using nearly all mikrotik for bridging. i want each site to run on its own ip range, but how do i get mikrotik to route correctly through everything? and more importantly, how do i even get mikrotik to act as a bridge, as i was reading that you have to use EoIP, which i heard has alot of overhead, so how do you all do it?
