Hi, what is the IP of the VMware host? Please share the config of the CHR, a screenshot of the properties of the VM showing the network ports config, and a screenshot of the config of all the involved virtual switches
What are you using to authenticate the users? A billing software? FreeRADIUS? Can you start using a username/password instead of validating the connections by the IP address?
We have provided service for some islands before. The main problem has been to get the internet there and to optimize the bandwidth, but you didn't mention that so I assume we are OK on that matter. Since the area you have to cover is small I will consider 2 options: 1) A mesh: Changing to a mesh to...
The VLANs are for managing your broadcast domains. In the article there is only one computer in the diagram but the VLAN is actually for the wireless tower. In your case I think You can assing a VLAN to each server rack, if we are talking about 5000 physical servers will be what? 100+ racks?
@esunarto When working with blades, getting to the outside world with the network could be done by modular switches or Pass-Through Modules. What will be the case for the Cisco and the Dell blades? If it is a switch what is the model?
Hola José, veo que estás familiarizado con Cisco, te comparto unos artículos que escribió uno de nuestros Arquitectos de Red Senior Cisco to MikroTik – command translation – BGP https://stubarea51.net/2015/11/09/cisco-to-mikrotik-command-translation-bgp/ Cisco to MikroTik – command translation – OSP...
Hola Luis, no te recomiendo ninguno de los 2. El rendimiento mejora muchísimo al usar BGP en un CHR, pero algo que hacemos nosotros con nuestros clientes es que filtramos las tablas de BGP, en realidad no necesitas la tabla completa. Un servidor HP debería ser de 3 dígitos para que te sirva, un DL16...
There are ways to do what you are asking for using MPLS, but before that I will like to know more about what are you trying to do. What are you using to authenticate the users? FreeRADIUS? When you say you need to send the PPPoE traffic to a Cisco switch, what do you have connected there? Is it the ...
I think you need to specify the tagged and untagged ports Try this: /interface bridge vlan add bridge=bridge_14 untagged=ether3 vlan-ids=14 add bridge=bridge_18 tagged=ether3 vlan-ids=18 also try activating VLAN filtering /interface bridge set bridge_14 vlan-filtering=yes set bridge_18 vlan-filterin...
To create a VLAN go to the /interface vlan menu use the following command [admin@MikroTik] /interface vlan> add name=vlan100 vlan-id=100 interface=ether1 This is the tricky part in MikroTik, the vlan will become an interface. In order to comunicate between VLANs assign IP addresses to each one of th...
but when i create a bridge on routeros only one port at a time works (for dhcp giving ip's etc) if i have more than one port on the bridge only the first port works, if i delete the first port on the bridge then the second works and so on... What do you mean? What are you using the ports for? Where...
We have installed MikroTik on very demanding scenarios: a customer with 1k+ wireless access points, ISPs providing service to any amount of subscribers, data centers with critical applications running, communicating 2 or more cities and supporting thousands of users, and so on. If you are a Cisco gu...
In that scenario I will use the 10g port for everything, and I will disable the 1g port. Since you understand Cisco, this "Cisco to Mikrotik dictionary" from one of our senior Network Architects might help you understand how to do things wiht your switch, it is based in RouterOS. Good luck...
There are a couple ways but first I need to know if you have a way to connect the printer directly to the router, or if the printer is connected to a switch tha can use VLANs
This won't work on Mikrotik. You can get some of this if you use BGP, but Mikrotik's implementation of TE can't allow for the same destination or endpoint. A good solution for this will be a switch that supports ERPS for example.
Are the VPNs the same speed? You can use PCQ, but you will have different source/destination IPs and that could be a problem for you. You can use BGP also.
Usually there are 2 versions available, the stable and long term. The “current” versions are intended to add new features, that, to be honest, we don’t know if will work. We will recommend you to use the long term version 6.45.9, because they put more attention on fixing bugs than deploying new feat...
Please check out this article from one of our Senior Network Architects. It will give you a general idea. It is oriented to ISPs but the dual stacking and the DHCPv6 and Prefix Delegation apply to your case too. It is possible it will generate more questions than answers :-) but I think it is a good...
5. Yes. The client has to decide how much they want to invest in their security posture. It is ultimately up to them. My job is to advise them of their options, risks, etc, so they can make informed decisions. I've been involved in the security planning and execution for a number of large companies...
I think to some degree be careful what you wish for.... MikroTik is successful because they understand that large support organizations cost a lot of money which means the cost of the product goes up. So MT puts resources into hardware and software development and uses e-mail and forum support to ke...
Hy Franky, we will need more information to help you. What is the network segment of your ouside network? Do you have a DHCP server for that network or is it a manual config? What are you going to use the CHR for?
I just want to be clear. When you say my router only knows about an 192.168.x.x address What does it mean? Do you have a different segment for you internal network? The public IP is configured in your router or do you have a device provided by your ISP connected to your router? I think it will be go...
Hey man, 192.168.10.0 can't be used, I won't extend myself on this but you can google some network subneting if you want to know more about it So change it to add address=192.168.10.1/24 interface=wlan1 network=192.168.10.0 Then the gateway for that network should be also that IP address 192.168.10.1
Hi, please check out this article writen by one of our Senior Architects https://stubarea51.net/2018/06/01/wisp-design-ospf-leapfrog-path-for-traffic-engineering/ https://stubarea51.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/opsf-leapfrog-pic3.png The example uses only one internet provider but it is focused on...
1) The very first thing to check when BGP routes are not propagating especially when moving from iBGP to eBGP is to see if the next hop is reachable. The border router in the iBGP ASN needs to either set next hop self for the peering towards other iBGP routers or a Route Reflector.....or the subnet ...
That's right, we need to see what are you doing with the other Tik, There are so meany possible ocnfigs and the result in all of them is the combination of the configs of the 2 devices Hmm, I thought it was simply this error...... /ip address add address=**.***.***.***/24 comment=defconf interface=e...
Hi there, before I give you my opinion I will like to ask you some questons: How many upstreams will you have to go to the internet? Are you multi-home? What is the bandwidth you’re planning to provide for your clients? If I understand correctly you will have 9 clients, right? Do you need to have hi...
We designed a solution for HA BRAS that works well. You can actually split the pool in half across each BRAS and it will dynamically load balance users. Then redistribute the connected /32 routes into BGP. https://stubarea51.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2.png https://stubarea51.net/2018/04/23/pppo...
This level 3 offloading looks very interesting. Do we have any numbers to show what it can mean as this has the potential to put emphasis on the R in CRS :-) Here is the preliminary testing we have done on this version with two CHRs on ProxMox that are each on a different VLAN and the CRS317 routes...
Any time frame to move off development phase and make it ready for production / stable? They still have to implement MPLS - I think that is the one major feature still missing from the current beta. Otherwise, there are probably many small fixes needed here and there. Totally agree! I will love to ...
I would probably consider MPLS with VPLS if you know that you need L2 adjacency. EoIP is great for very simple applications but if i'm going to be running an L2 overlay for any length of time, I use VPLS for stability and scalability.
I did the testing in the YouTube video referenced above, and we found ProxMox to be in the middle as compared to VM Ware and HyperV. Part of the reason for this is driver support. In talking with MIkroTik at the MUM, there were existing drivers for ESXi and KVM that could be used. However, there wer...
