Nothing needs to be done. Configure your router with your 4-byte ASN. Your peer will configure the session toward you with remote-as=23456. You will use their regular AS in remote-as=. BGP will bring up the session, and your upstream will see your AS as the 4-byte transitional ASN. The rest of the w...

Yes, MikroTik's DHCP server does not send the User-Password attribute. If your configurations requires a password then you can easily set it in the RADIUS server. Here's how to do it if you're using FreeRADIUS:
authorize {

Re: DHCP server and DHCP relay help plz

You need to configure the MikroTik to acknowledge the relay as a valid relay source. If your DHCP server instance is zero and the ethernet-to-coax gateway's IP is 192.0.2.1, then you can do this: /ip dhcp-server set 0 relay=192.0.2.1 Refer to this for more information. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/...
