Same problem here. Impossible to have automatic fail over for an L2TP Server. Any ideas?

ccr

Well we configure about 50 mikrotiks a week; and we do so by plugging into our network and mac-telneting in. It is quite easy because you can copy backup files; and router OS files; and compare setting to live devices much easier. What I was trying to do was lock down the network our workstations ar...

You would have to setup up static leases in the DHCP->Lease for these customers; and add another network in the DHCP -> Network. Not sure if this is possible. You would have to experiment. You may want to hand certain customers static DHCP leases and then do separate one to one NAT rules for their I...

2 different IP networks on the same Mikrotik Router.
Would like users on each IP network to be able to mac-telnet to the other IP network.
Is this possible?
What strategies would be used to do this?

Hi Can anyone suggest high power miniPCI cards ( need to install 3 of them into RB 433AH ) with 800mw to 1000mw of power. I need 3 of them to be installed inside mikrotik RB433AH. I need cards that support 801.11 a/b/n ( seperate or all in one). ( MIMO optional ) Price suggestions are also welcome....

I am confused. How do I manipulate data rates for an SU where the Rx Rate is 54 and the Tx Rate is 6 and those values never change. I can get it to where Tx and Rx rate are the same and never change but never to where they are different and never change.

Thanks,

ccr

How did you do this?

"I'm using Mikrotik for wireless links to send the audio for FM broadcast radio stations."

I cannot figure it out.

I upgraded a 450g to 5.0beta2.
Then downgraded to 4.8 and the ppp; dhcp package are missing and it won't reboot for downgrade from inside winbox now.
FYI.

ccr

I have tried going into Winbox and opening up the ethernet port and changing settings in winbox; by unselecting full duplex or auto negotation; or switching to 10M. Is that what you are talking about? Or do I need to go into the command line to do this.

I am connecting a Lucent® TNT-SL-E100-V-C Ethernet Card to a Routerboard 450g and it will not link up via ethernet. If I connect it to a 493AH it works fine.

Original Config: 5 Access Points and 1 Hotspot. 1 DHCP server and everything in a Bridge. New Config: Network is routed and each access point has a different network and DHCP Server.

Is it possible to turn off the IP translation in the hotpot? In other words make it so clients have get a valid IP from the dhcp server for their computer to hit the login page.

thx

ccr

Looks like the problem is in 3.30 per changelogs.

ccr

Running hotspot using radius to authenticate on mostly 433ah and some 532. Most running on 3.30. After login the page says processing and just site there forever. If user goes to another web page the user is online and is logged in fine. Any ideas why it would not redirect them after logging in?

I didn't read your post but I am leaning towards version problem. 3.x and Metarouter don't work together correctly. I have quite a bit running on 4.3 so far without trouble. I will let you know...

ccr

upgraded to 4.3.
Config on Meta Lost.
Reconfigured.
Rebooted and config did not go away.
Now are there any problems with 4.3 we should know about

ccr

Just ran a test with a Meta Router. Configured it. Everything working. Rebooted and the Meta Router lost its config. Memory was set at 30. Router OS 3.30 Switched memory to 16 and switched power supply from 18v to 15v. Reconfigured. Rebooted and it lost the config again! This is not working. Any sug...

ccr

Yes; you have to backup the main routerboard and then each meta router. In some cases backups have been a major problem for me on Meta Router. When memory size was set to 64 backups did not work correctly. Then you have to install the backups in the correct order.

ccr

I have had Meta Router lose their config a lot. It is a problem. One thing to try is keeping the memory assigned to the Meta Router on default size. I think new versions of 3.x should come out personally

. Is 4.x even stable?

ccr

ccr, what are you powering yours with? These are the power supplys I've tried: 1. 28v 0.8amp the one pictured above. 2. ubiquity nanostation2 12v 1amp 3.

I have a bunch of 450's out in the field using 24v power supplies. Not working right at all. Rebooting. Losing their config. Is 24v power supplies the problem? Will 18v fix it? What a mess.

2.9.51 is the most stable in the 2.9 series, it is recommended that you go from .39 to .51.

I know for 500 Series boards though you could not go directly from .39 to .51. You had to go to .4, then to .5.

This is not the case for x86?

ccr

I have a server running RouterOS x86 and is on 2.9.39.
All I can find on Mikrotik website is 2.9.51.
Can I go directly to 2.9.51 from 2.9.39 for x86.

I also have 2.9.44 for 100 series.
Will this work for x86?

Version 3.0rc3

About a few weeks ago all my email notifications stopped working.
It says invalid TO address.
The to address is not invalid.

ccr

Well considering I needed a bucket truck to get at the device that is not possible.

But upgrading to 2.9.28 and then going to 2.9.39 etc. worked.

ccr

I have a 532 board on 2.9.23 and I tried to upgrade to 2.9.39 but it says that the liscense does not support that version.
The liscence says that is upgradable until Jan/01/2007.

Does anyone know the highest version I can upgrade to?

The following is a host list from a particular hotspot running 3.15. The ip pool is 10.2.60.0/23. The LAN of the Hotspot is 10.2.60.1. The infrastructure is 10.2.60.2-10.2.60.10. Often times the address and to-address will change in the host list and we lose our monitoring to our infrastructure. All...

I haven't had much luck with API in Client/AP mode. It adds latency and doesn't seem to work that well, makes thing worse if anything. Tried with XR9, SR2, R52, SR9 etc. I would not recommend using it, but in some cases it may work, but normally, I would not use it.

ccr

Everytime we have tried to upload an export it has not worked. It could be because we had pictures uploaded and Router OS versions uploaded to it. I would do a hard drive backup.

ccr

Most likely based on the individual connection. Someone that has 54/54 can in theory push 54 regardless of who else is connected. That is how I understand it.

ccr

If I am understanding you correctly then you must use wds, no other way. if wlan2 connects to wlan1 wirelessly then for wlan2 to be an apbridge then it must connect to wlan1 via wds. No other way that I know of.

ccr

Could be many different things. Need way more info...

ccr

Try one of these:

Change channel
Change to 2.4b only
Change to 2.4g only

If that doesn't help you will have to post hardware and config.

ccr

Sounds like you are having trouble with Vista computers. I personally think it is a Vista bug that Microsoft won't admit to but at any rate, upgrading to 3.10 or better should fix the problem. If that doesn't work, set static dhcp leases for the clients. If that doesn't work, disable the firewall in...

I noticed in 3.15 under the wireless tab of a wireless interface there is an option to check or un-check compression. Anyone know what this does?

Can someone provide a link to the flow chart of how packets pass through RouterOS, [interface -> prerouting -> global-in]. I can't find it.

ccr

That solved it. Thanks,

ccr

Actually, I would be a little careful going to 3.x. There are some issues with it.

Go to 2.9.50, that has worked the best for me.

Also, under the wireless card settings in Vista, you can switch from Public to Private. That fixes it sometimes.

ccr

That worked. Thanks!

When you have multiple ports bridged in 3.2 there are problems. 3 ports SR2 SR9 ether1 The bridge recognizes that the mac for the SR2 is its mac.

That is the downside with hot glue, it is hard to get off. Someone told me recently though that they thought the clear tape would possibly generate moisture or hold in moisture.

Anyone have any experiences with putting clear tape over a ufl connector for a CM9, R52 or SR9 to prevent it from popping out. Is there any downside or risk to doing this?
