Have I configured the routes correctly on Mikrotik?

Question

I'm trying to set up packet routing from an IP phone. Now there are two routing tables on the router: the main one and 'mosnet1', which is tied to the backup provider.

If both providers are active and the route table looks like this:


Then the dialer does not work, because, judging by the logs, the packets are sent to the wrong routing table:


As I understand it, this happens because traffic from the phone comes without a label, but in routes have a rule that only tagged packets are allowed through, and from a specific IP:


If I turn off the interface of the backup provider and, as a result, the route becomes unreachable, then everything works, traffic goes through my main Rostelecom:


I tried to set distance=2 in the static route and it helped, but how correct is this solution? How might this affect the packet processing of the standby provider?

correctly set for the channels a different distance just. the main one has 1. the reserve has more than 1 (2,3,4 ... etc.), respectively - there is no main channel (for example, the cable was pulled out, the Internet disappeared (I don’t know how it is configured for you) - the next distance will work ...
