Hi guys, I am new to Mikrotik Software / Routerboard hardware and Linux OS, I have a few question which might seem stupid to you.
Firstly, from what I have read on the internet, Mikrotik software is installed on a PC and you can use Routerboards like RB11, RB14 & RB44G and configure and manage them through the Miktotik software - Correct yes/no?
If so, won't you have more options available to you in terms of customizing the scripts as opposed to manageing the software throught the winbox application?
Secondly, can you install the Mikrotik software onto an existing Linux system i.e. ubuntu , and open a terminal to configure the RB11, RB14 & RB44G boards and manage everything from there?
Thirdly, if you are using any of the other Routerboards how do you setup the routerboard to do accounting on a seperate PC with Linux installed on it and FreeRadius - can you point me to a tutoiral online please.
I have read so many posts in the forum, my brain has gone moggy, so many of the posts give instructions but there are very few that actually explain what needs to happen, I would rather understand than have the answer given to me.
Any information on the correct way of doing things would be greatly appreciated.
