Re: Redundant PPPOE Mikrotik Servers

Sorry more details: The concentrator currently bridges eoip tunnels and runs the pppoe on the bridge.

Re: Redundant PPPOE Mikrotik Servers

In my lab I am working up a scenario with BGP to use the same IP at two different peering locations to put pppoe servers next to the network edges.This is an anycast type solution similar to DNS anycast or CDN. Does anybody know why this would not work or any tips?

Re: RouterOS Not sending DHCP-Server Option 66

I am having an issue with some cisco phones on dhcp option 150 with some cisco phone. I put in:
add code=150 name=TFTP value=10.1.11.10
add code=66 name=tftp-66 value=10.1.11.10
and the phone tries to tftp from 49.48.46.96

I think it may be a cisco default or it is reading the value wrong.
