Re: RouterOS equiv. of Cisco's "ip ospf mtu-ignore"?

You shouldn't have mismatching MTU's on links anyways, so you'd best just fix the MTU and then as an added bonus, you'll avoid all the ugly issues that arrise when you have an MTU mismatch.

You need to use encapsulation mpls.

I think you're looking at the wrong issue here. Whether you run OSPF or EIGRP has nothing to do with graphing.
Graphing comes through SNMP. Check if you're graphing the right OIDs, as the MIBs may be different between cisco and MikroTik.

Re: Problems with RB750G or PSU?

I think I've found the problem. Somehow, if you plug the 750G Ether1 into a switch that runs PoE, the router blinks shortly when you plug in the PoE-running cable and when you plug in the cable, it won't start up. Our PoE is the standard one, so it's not supplying enough voltage for the board to pow...

eBGP as PE-CE routing protocol

Hi there, I'm considering to use eBGP instead of OSPF as my PE-CE routing protocol.

I was forced to upgrade my bgp routers to 3.25 due to some bug with a newer version of Cisco routers, that was triggered after one of my upstreams upgraded their routers. So far, it seems stable. I haven't stress-tested it, but my routers are stable, and that's what counts for me :)

No no, 10.10.10.1 is still in another subnet. Since it's a point-to-point network, there is no broadcast. The network 10.10.10.2/31 consists of 10.10.10.2-10.10.10.3. Please read the RFC if you've never dealt with /31's before... It's an easy read.
