Re: How are the firewall chains traversed?

Each chain is traversed independently from top to bottom. DNAT is done in the prerouting chain which is processed before the any routing decision is made, while SNAT is done in the postrouting chain. So the order you add rules in are only significant for a specific chain. If you add the SNAT rules ...

Take all that stuff out of bridge mode and route everything - that will help you a lot to start with.

With 3 cards on top of each other you are bound to get some interference, move one of the cards to the other RB (the one with the single card in it). That will also help.

Re: 6 radio AP/Relay. Any obvious issues?

mickeymouse690 - I don't know how everyone missed this but you don't have enough channel space to run that many 900mhz that close together..... Your very best bet is to run the 5ghz as backhauls between sites. That will at least free up some 900mhz channel space. If you are going to use 2.4ghz be mi...

Re: ip address dst address

xezen -

10.1.4.250/32 - this format will only affect that single address. You'll have to use the firewall filter or mangle or both so this address does not get 'serviced'.

Re: Security Issues and researching, need some ideas!

nitrium - Where to start.... Radius is about control but also adds security as well.... You can simply have it authenticate by MAC address or get sophisticated and have it send the wpa and ask for a username and password...it is entirely up to you..... As to WDS - well there certainly are situations...

Re: Security Issues and researching, need some ideas!

nitrium - There are at least a dozen ways to add security in various ways and combinations.... Already mentioned are radius and wpa2 wireless coding. There is also 'hidden' essid, access and connect lists in the APs, with MAC / SSID checking. Much of this can be used in conjunction with radius. This...
