Dear Lorell,
My question is about BGP on the Mikrotik platform. The guy who I am supplanting swears that we are supposed to be bringing the second internet link to the same place as the first internet link for BGP to work properly. Obviously that is not true with major brand routers which would do the BGP job just fine. (And he's the same guy that has bridged this whole network, so it is easy to disbelieve his opinion.) But maybe he knows that Mikrotik can't perform BGP in the same way that other routers can. So here's the question. Is there something about running BGP on a Mikrotik platform that precludes having the internet connections come in at different locations?
That depends on the netwoek in between this two locations.There could be a lot of good reasons why this is no good idea; please bring some light into this.
Kind regards, Ingo Flaschberger
