Re: moderate traffic on one vlan = 100% CPU usage on RB1000

So I guess the above OIDs are not quite right for the RB1000. I ran snmpwalk against the router, then grep'd for strings that contain 'pkts' and came up with thirteen counters each for unicast packets in and out - which of these would be the right one to query to get the *total* pps values for the ...

Re: moderate traffic on one vlan = 100% CPU usage on RB1000

I had suspected a high packet rate of very small packets. I understand what you are saying about the sampling frequency and the possibility to miss small extreme bursts in the graph. However, the client who was implicated in this is on a 100Mbps uplink, so that would be the limit of his burst, and ...

Re: moderate traffic on one vlan = 100% CPU usage on RB1000

2. Your RRD/MRTG graph has averaged out the peak of the bandwidth burst, and it was actually much higher than you can see. RRD normally uses a 5 minute averaging, so very quick spikes in traffic will not show up well. For example: It occurs to me after writing this that you're probably using the bu...

Re: moderate traffic on one vlan = 100% CPU usage on RB1000

Hello All - r1_0_prgmr_com-day.png Now, this router has been stress-tested with a client a few months ago, who was doing traffic well in excess of 500Mbps, and it handled it fine, no latency. The config of the router has changed very little - a few client VLANs have been dropped, and few new ones h...

Re: SCSI and SAS support in RouterOS

At the very least, support the megaraid, megaraid_sas drivers and 3ware drivers. They will cover most SCSI/SAS RAID controllers available. For example, almost all Dell PERC SCSI controllers use the megaraid drivers, and all the Dell PERC SAS (eg. 6/6i) controllers use the megaraid_sas drivers, and H...

Amongst the Cyrus SASL authentication mechanisms (pwcheck_method) there appears to be one called "alwaystrue". It might be worth seeing if that does what it says :)

Re: Apple Back to My Mac and Mikrotic uPnP implementation...

Also, UPnP uses the web service on port 80 on your router. If your web service is disabled on on a different port it will not work.

Re: Intercept SMTP-auth Traffic

Depending on your SMTP server software, you may be able to configure it to always accept SMTP authentication requests and allow the user to send mail. Of course, you wouldn't want to leave this server exposed to the internet either.

Re: IPSEC not sending packets back to initiator

Upgrade to 4.1. I had identical problems under 4.0, and if you check the changelog for 4.1 you'll see mention of a bug being fixed with regards to routing on virtual interfaces in 4.0.

I spent an entire day pulling my hair out until I upgraded to 4.1 and suddenly it all started working.

You can run a mail server via metarouter, on ex. OpenWRT... Ignoring that RouterOS is a router and not a mail server, I would not run one via metarouter either unless your are running RouterOS x86. The simple fact is that mail servers spend a lot of time writing and deleting data from disk and woul...

Re: DSL PPPOE-CL and USB 3G PPP-CL

Point your default route to the interface rather than the gateway IP:
/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=pppoe-out1 distance=1

Re: PPPoE Termination of QinQ

You could try creating all the QinQ VLAN's in advance, and bridge them all together with a single PPPoE server running on the bridge.

Honestly though, I don't know if RouterOS would cope with having 4000-odd VLAN's configured on it.

We considered it, but we do not have programmers on staff so th...
