Mikrotik Crs317 16 Ports SFP+ - Core Switch, Are Connected To Uplink 10G Ports, A BGP

A MikroTik CCR1036 router acts as the BGP and NAT router connected via 10G ports to a MikroTik CRS317 16 port SFP+ core switch and three MikroTik CCR1036 routers serving as PPPoE servers. A MikroTik CRS328 24 port switch with 4 SFP ports is connected to the core switch and acts as a distribution switch connected to GPON OLT links and wireless tower links. Each PPPoE router has its own private 172.16.x.x network for assigning IP addresses to private and prepaid customers, with static routes on the BGP router to each network. OSPF is activated on links

Equipment that was installed

A MikroTik CCR1036 router acts as the BGP and NAT router


MikroTik CRS317 16 ports SFP+ – core switch, are connected to uplink 10G ports, a BGP
router and all three PPPoE routers are also connected via 10G ports. Please note that one same
switch is installed just close to the first one. The second switch acts as a cold backup. This
means it has exactly the same configuration as the core switch and the same amount of ports,
ready to swap in case of failure of the first switch.
3x MikroTik CCR1036 routers which work as PPPoE servers where fibre and wireless clients
are connected.
MikroTik CRS328 24 ports + 4 SFP ports, which acts as a distribution switch. To this switch are
connected GPON OLT and links coming from wireless towers. Also, PPPoE router downlinks are
plugged-in to this switch.
A BGP router announces public prefixes to the Internet and routes traffic between two Internet
providers. Uplinks are 10GB lines. Each PPPoE router has its own private 172.16.x.x network
from which we assign IP addresses to private and prepaid customers. It means that on the BGP
router there are three installed static routes to these networks – each network to a proper PPPoE
router.
PPPoE servers are connected to the same switch on the same VLANs, which means that users
from fibre and wireless networks can connect to one of three PPPoE servers at the same time.
The advantage of this approach is scalability and failover. If one router fails, customers can
automatically reconnect to the two remaining PPPoE routers.
PPPoE routers are linked with Splynx Radius server. When a customer connects to router1, he
gets the IP from the pool, which is dedicated for this certain router.
Another story is with public IP addresses. In this case, customers have the static IP address,
which means that physically they can connect to any PPPoE server.
To know where the BGP router should send traffic, we have activated OSPF on three links –
between each PPPoE concentrator and the BGP router. PPPoE customers IPs are redistributed
to OSPF as connected routes as soon as they connect to the Internet. It is important to set the
routing filters correctly – allowing only public IPs in a routing table with /32 routes, and all private
IPs are not redistributed to the OSPF
