If you do want full l2 connectivity, perhaps you should investigate ZeroTier

I have not tried it, but I believe it will do this.

Some thoughts. A rough outline of what I would do. To hopefully create an approximation to what you appear to want.

Hardware: Optical: If you can use prebought optical patch cables or DAC cables things are ok. As soon as you need to make stuff it gets very expensive for the tooling. And yes, copper cables are much more durable. But 10G copper seems to run very hot, so you need fan cooled switches, etc. dac cables...

Not sure, seems like something dubious. One hack possibility (for tcp) might be to clamp the mss of your internal devices to 1452, while letting the outside devices stay at 1460. So your devices upload with shorter packets. /ip firewall mangle add action=change-mss chain=forward comment="clamp ...

Sorry, not much of an answer but. 2. The speed of the switch mostly does not depend on the type of router. However, broadcast and similar packets will likely cause slowdowns as they have to go to everywhere including the slow bits on the lan segment. Would recommend you minimise the number of slower...

You could try something like the following from the mikrotik, and see if it replies (and the size at which it stops) /ping size=1500 8.8.8.8 do-not-fragment And with luck some indication of where it stops. (You can also use /tool/traceroute with size and do-not-fragment) Note: Traditionally 8.8.8.8 ...

rplant

You could try an mtu on the vigor of 1508 (to include the pppoe header) or even 1512 (to also include the vlan) and see if that helps.

rplant

You have to type in a speed, and it will try to get to that speed.

Hi, I would also include the first routing rule below. It allows devices on your wifi subnet to connect to other local devices, and only internet bound traffic goes via the vpn.

You need two or more different vlan's on the hex. The hex needs to have an IP address assigned to it for each vlan. The devices on each vlan need to have the hex as their default gateway.

rplant

If the mesh router has the option to disable it's dhcp server, you could do that.

Then plug the mikrotik's LAN port into one of the lan ports of the router, and see if devices connect to the Mikrotik.
(You may need later to change the ip address of the mesh router as well)

rplant

You have to ensure that the appropriate packets don't go via fasttrack. Either by having an accept statement for these packets prior to the fasttrack rule or by disabling the fasttrack rule. One possible option (just prior to fasttrack rule) add action=accept chain=forward comment="accept estab...

rplant

Hi, A couple of points, The screenshot doesn't really show what you are doing. Mikrotik doesn't do hairpin nat by default, so it might work from outside but not from inside your network.

One thought,
Do you have appropriate firewall rules to allow gre protocol in from the remote peer?

The default rules cause Traffic wrapped in ipsec to be allowed.

Yet another possibility is broken dns.

And try a few sites (including some you haven't recently used)

Is the dns server nslookup is using correct?

You appear to have different wireless protocols at each end.

A problem is that out of your switch, every port has both the tagged and the untagged vlans coming out of it and going into it.

Sorry, not an answer but.

In the wiki version it notes

The backup RouterBOOT version can not be older than v3.24 version.

So presumably given yours is newer than this, you don't need an upgraded backup routerboot. (so it won't let you upgrade it perhaps)

Yes, you could have used the wireless package, and the map could then connect in station bridge. Wifi package does have some niceish features though. Other options: Use Station-Pseudo bridge mode.

A couple of thoughts, The following statement doesn't really seem helpful given your current results, but anyway: Mikrotik doesn't by default do hairpin Nat (you need to add the appropriate src-nat rule), so if you are testing from inside your network it will likely not work.

Hi,
License wise:
Not sure there is a limit for raw ipsec.
There is a 500 user one for l2tp.

However, the processor on the RB2011 doesn't do ipsec hardware encryption, and does not have much Ram.
So really only a couple maybe. You would be better off with wireguard with the 2011.

rplant

I would recommend you experiment with wireguard.
(Even if just for this particular instance)

rplant

You could possibly add a src-nat rule something like

/ip firewall nat
chain=srcnat dst-address=171.11.153.20 src-address=192.168.1.0/24 action=src-nat to-addresses=171.11.153.21

Move it up above any masquerade rules already there.

rplant

For generic case, perhaps not. (maybe a container?)

But for a single source ip sending data, you could probably use a dst-nat and src-nat pair of rules, to send the traffic back.

rplant

You can run your eoip or other tunnel inside wireguard. Though I would perhaps attempt to set up ipv6 and associated routing on the Mikrotik manually, using one of the /64's. You would maybe need to somehow mark the prefix as used though, so the VPS does not try to reuse it. You might need to put (n...

The S+RJ10 plugs into a 10G sfp+ interface.
The L009 has a 2.5G sfp interface.

rplant

That feels like a bug.

I think the Mikrotik radio should likely have its own multicast subscriber list and send it to only its subscribed stations.

rplant

I gain the impression that the S+RJ10 still runs quite warm, as its backend has to be run at approx 10.3G
(whether connected on the RJ45 side at 1G, 2.5G, or 10G)

While an actual 2.5G unit's backend runs at 2.5G (* 10/8).
(Whether connected on the RJ45 side at 2.5G, 1G or lower speeds)

Perhaps get a hap ac2 as a gateway router in front of the switch at the home end.

Then you can have hardware offloaded ipsec at both ends if you want that.

You should perhaps change the bucket size on the queue to 0.01

Even better with luck might be able to just use a wireguard tunnel, without ipip.

So it is not possible if the peer is on dynamic IP? Yes, You can look at the ipsec setup created when you add ipsec to the ipip tunnel and make something similar.

Some thoughts: It looks like you are not using ipsec, is this correct? From windows, you need to subtract 28 from your length of ping, (Windows makes the data in the packet that big, then has 28 bytes of IP header on top). So for a 1500 byte mtu, ping -f -l 1472 51.x.x.232 If the MTU the router thin...

You can put your outbound queue on ether1, and your inbound queue on bridge.

Then you should be able to fasttrack it.

You probably need to set the bucket size in the queue to 0.01 (or maybe less)

Yes, I like your diagram, what did you use to make that? One relatively simple option is to put the lte device onto the vlan 10 IP range, (no dhcp server enabled on lte device).

The brass fold down tab is likely to lock the rj10 device into the sfp slot.
If you can pull the rj10 out of the slot without unlocking the tab you need to move it
to the locked position.
Seems unlikely to be the issue with the ethernet cable coming out.
Perhaps try another ethernet cable.

Note:
If your client is a Mikrotik or other router, you will likely need to add some static routes into it.
Ordinary clients will automatically set up routes from the allowed ip settings.

Hi, If you have set it up as dmz of your existing router, you should probably rethink your firewall rules completely. and quickly. Go back to factory default rules and add your changes.

Hi,

One option is to have multiple wireguard interfaces with one peer each.
Each peer can have 0.0.0.0/0 allowed address.

And then use ospf to route over them.
Can use ospf directly over the wireguards in a point to point mode.

rplant

/interface list member
add interface=WG-Cloud-BLR list=WAN

Possibly also
Change the wireguard MTU on the 5009 to 1412 (because its inside pppoe)
Add a persistent keep alive on the 5009 (somewhere 25-60 seconds is likely good)

rplant

Not sure,

A couple thoughts.

1. Add the pppoe Interface to the WAN interface list.
2. Disable/remove dhcp client on ether1 if it is still present.
3. Reboot the router (maybe something is remembering something from prior to disabling detect internet)

In other sort of vaguely similar situations, RSTP enabled can result in DHCP (and other) issues.

Filtering dst-nat ed packets seems to work ok here. One guess: If you copied and modified the default defconf: drop all from WAN not DSTNATed rule and edited it.

Incorrect public key at one or both ends seems to be more common than it should be.
Time/Date at both ends need to be near each other.

You can put in a firewall rule with log enabled on the outbound port as source port, (and interface), to see if anything is leaving for the

But there is. You just have to go to PPP -> Profiles, and make a new one (or a copy of default)
