Video Title:
LOAD BALANCE - Menggabungkan 2 Koneksi Internet dengan MIKROTIK
Summary of Technological Concepts and Product Features:
- Load Balancing with MikroTik Router
- The video demonstrates how to combine two different internet connections using MikroTik (specifically the RB941 model) to achieve load balancing.
- Purpose:
- Increase overall internet speed by combining two 20 Mbps connections to roughly 40 Mbps.
- Provide backup/failover if one ISP connection fails.
- Network Topology Setup
- Two ISPs connected:
- ISP1: Neighbor’s WiFi via TP-Link WR840N router connected to MikroTik ether1.
- ISP2: Orbit Star 2 internet connected to MikroTik ether2.
- Outputs for LAN devices combined using a bridge on ether3 and ether4, connected to Totolink N300RT access point and PC for remote configuration.
- Two ISPs connected:
- Basic MikroTik Configuration Steps
- Naming Ethernet ports according to their role (ISP1, ISP2, output).
- Creating a bridge group to combine LAN ports for output.
- Setting up DHCP clients on ISP interfaces to obtain IP addresses dynamically.
- Assigning static IP and DHCP server on the bridge interface to serve LAN clients.
- Configuring DNS with Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
- Setting up NAT (src-nat) masquerading rules for both ISP interfaces.
- Load Balancing Rules Setup
- Using Winbox to configure mangle rules for marking connections and routing marks for load balancing:
- Marking connections from LAN (bridge) to ISP1 and ISP2.
- Marking routing paths for each ISP.
- Marking new connections per ISP interface.
- Marking routing for output interfaces.
- Adding static routes with gateways for each ISP with proper distance and check gateway settings.
- Using Winbox to configure mangle rules for marking connections and routing marks for load balancing:
- Testing and Validation
- Speed tests show combined throughput significantly higher than single ISP speeds.
- Demonstrated failover by disabling one ISP interface and observing internet continuity through the other ISP.
- Observed speed differences when using single vs combined ISP connections.
