The information on this page is updated in accordance with the 00.07.08 firmware version.
Summary
In this example we will setup redundant links using dynamic routing where 2 routers will be connected using multiple links directly – Main WAN and two Backup WANs in order to make sure LAN devices on each end would be available in case Main links fail.
Configuration Overview & Prerequisites
For this example, we will need two routers with 3 separate WAN interfaces. It can either be Wired links or Private Mobile networks. In this example we will use 3 wired links for the simplicity of testing. However, there can be other variations, such as 1 Wired link and 2 Mobile links.
Each WAN on both ends has to be in the same private network. In other words:
- RUT1 WAN1 interface must be able to reach RUT2 WAN1 interface;
- RUT1 WAN2 interface must be able to reach RUT2 WAN2 interface;
- RUT1 WAN3 interface must be able to reach RUT2 WAN3 interface.

Configuration Testing
If everything was set up correctly, we should see routes to the second network through the main link in the routing table:
Let us simulate Main link failure by disconnecting the cable and see how that affects routes to the second network:
As we can see, dynamic routing automatically switched to the next available route.
Testing Communication Between LAN Devices
Let us connect a LAN device to each of the routers and see if they can communicate with each other, for this example, we will connect laptop to the first router and another laptop to the second router:
- Laptop 1 IP: 192.168.1.220
- Laptop 2 IP: 192.168.2.5
Let us run a ping command from the first laptop to the second and disconnect the Main link cable midway through:
We can see that after a short delay, laptop on the second router continued communication, which means dynamic routes are being set correctly.
