Background: I'm using a RADIUS authentication/accounting setup for my PPPoE customers, with a PostgreSQL database behind a pair of FreeRADIUS servers. This is working well, and gives me visibility of customers' activity and traffic through my BSS. Separately, I have another PPPoE server that is used...
Has anyone had problems with virtual APs on RB711s? I set up a virtual AP on a 711GA-5HnD, and the client couldn't see it on a scan - only the master AP. It's the same setup I've used dozens of times on other APs, so I was surprised that it didn't work for me. RouterOS 5.18, firmware 2.36, licence l...
I've been setting up an MPLS network, using "loopback" interfaces and OSPF to distribute routes, then setting up LDP, and finally setting up VPLS tunnels. This has been working perfectly so far, but I have one router ("kilbride-wt2") that won't establish an LDP connection with it...
I haven't created any scripts: [admin@minaun-493] /system script> print Flags: I - invalid [admin@minaun-493] /system script> job print # SCRIPT OWNER STARTED 0 admin jul/03/2009 11:24:24 [admin@minaun-493] /system script> I assume that one running job is my login session? Any other suggestions?
I've got a RB493 acting as a PPPoE server and also doing some straightforward routing (static routes). It currently has 12 logged-in PPPoE users, and the CPU is running at 98-100%. I have another RB493 in a similar role on a different site, which has almost 50 logged-in PPPoE users, same firmware &a...
A much more useful tool for me would be a mac-telnet client for Linux. I find the terminal interface by far the fastest and most intuitive way to configure a routerboard; I don't use Windows; and winbox is hit-and-miss under Wine.
Is there any way to know what's using CPU cycles on a RouterBoard RB133? I have one acting as the main router in my house, doing some straight routing onto my work network as well as NAT and DHCP for the home network to connect to the Internet. Sometimes the Internet gets very slow, and when I log o...
Hi - it would be useful for me to be able to search the wireless registration table for a specific "last-ip" value, like this: [admin@farn10] /interface wireless registration-table>print from=[find last-ip=1.2.3.4] It doesn't seem to work. The "last-ip" value is only shown when I...
I have the same problem as this, running 3.0b7 on WiNE. Running the same version on a Windows virtual machine, connected to the same server, works fine. However, running the same version on WiNE on a different Linux PC works fine also. It seems to be specific to this PC. I've installed msttcorefonts...
Hi - what's the maximum MTU that the Ethernet ports on Routerboards are capable of? As I understand it, Atheros radios can handle an MTU of 1550. I'd like to run an entire link (Ethernet -> Atheros -> Atheros -> Ethernet) at an MTU greater than 1500, as I'm running an EoIP tunnel over it, and I want...
Hi, I'm trying to get an Nstreme dual link running. I can get each pair of radios to associate in ap-bridge/station mode, but they won't connect as part of an Nstreme dual group. On one end: /interface wireless print Flags: X - disabled, R - running 0 name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0...
Hi - I'm having trouble getting two routerboards talking to each other over an IPsec encrypted connection. The first board has an address of 10.50.3.131/25, and the second has 10.50.2.6/30. They're connected through a Linux PC acting as a router, with addresses of 10.50.3.129/25 and 10.50.2.5/30. Wi...
Hi, Reading the manual page on IPsec, it mentions that it's CPU-intensive, and recommends a Pentium or K6 processor. I want to set up a VPN from a central office to several home offices, and was planning to use a RB600 at each location - will it have the horsepower for (a) the client side, and (b) t...
Apologies for bumping this, but it's something I'd really like to figure out. I've set up PCQ shaping using simple queues, but the capability to burst to a higher speed is important. I'm wondering if I can create a bursting queue type, and use a PCQ queue type as its parent in queue trees? Am I even...
Hi all - still reading the manual and coming to terms with the feature set. One thing I can't quite figure out: is it possible to create a transparent end-to-end bridge (WDS-style) with Nstreme dual?
