PPP secret and RADIUS accounting

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...

RB711 virtual AP

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...

Re: LDP - can't talk to neighbor

...and the problem was a firewall rule that was blocking the LDP packets - a silly mistake on my part. Thanks, all.

LDP - can't talk to neighbor

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...

Re: winbox for Windows Mobile 5 or 6

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.

Re: Help - NStreme2 terrible throughput

-Alignment has been tweaked for best signal strengths, which are -87 dBm on the 5.8GHz & -79 dBm on the 5.3GHz.
Those are god-awful signals. With antennae that size, I'd expect to be able to do a 25-mile shot easily.
