Each time I logint to any router, I have to zoom-in once. I thought it might be scaling issue, as I use my Win10 desktop scaled to 125%, but there is not any difference, if I switch just to 100% scaling.

Very cosmetic issue, but - for quite few releases, the scaling of UI is not correct. Each time I log-in to a router, I have to go to menu and press Zoom-in, to have a correct size.

OK, understandable. It is just that if I do DST-NAT on hAP ac^2 even for the routed address, it does seem to work - packets are counted and if I change the destination port, it influences that. But agreed - this is not probably a correct way to do things.

Well, our design looks overcomplicated, but we are here in mountain areas, so we need to do e.g. 2 - 3 hops, to get those areas connected. One day, we would like to do PPPoE/Hotspot, but I currently don't know, how to overcome nat or routing. In the case of one hop (K, N networks), I could theoretic...

Petr, even to be able to ping from 10.0.0.0/24 clients to 10.0.5.2 you also need a route on 10.0.5.2 to route back to the 10.0.0.0/24 network - the reply packets have to know how to get back to you pinging machine! But you're really close now ;-) Best regards, Christian Meis ;-) ah, well. It is jus...

pekr

Every device/ip address not in your own subnet cannot reach you directly, but has to get there by routing. As long as you do not configure a route telling the 10.0.5.2 machine the it can reach your network 10.0.0.0/24 by going over your AP (i.e. by using the gateway with ip address 10.0.5.1 as next...

lets take a look at: http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/graphics:packet_flow31.jpg As you can see src-nat is after any of "routing-decision" action, so I assume, when you are using your src-nat, it is already determined through what port it would go out. Try to use mark-routing action i...

It will not work! Why not? :-) What are the fields of source adress, dst address there for then? OK, maybe I start to understand a bit after all. The thing is, I can't somehow "imagine", what NAT does with the packet under the hood. Does it just change src/dst address accordingly? Well, s...

Uh, NAT is done after routing decision? that is strange no? You have packet arriving to your local interface. Now it looks into routing table what to do and if there would be no masquarading involved first imo, packet would not get thru .... because imo only after masquarading to output interface n...

OK - red route rule - clear to me now ....

Hi Valens,

thanks for your reply. Are you the one who gave his presentation during the MUM conference?

I was sitting in the first line

So, the last one for today ... We don't define routes except for gateway. Then we use masquarading on outgoing interface and voila, we are done. So we can ping from one network, to another one, in terms of masquaraded interfaces in one machine. But - what if I don't want to use masquarading? Let's s...

So, the next question, regarding NAT: We use simple scenario - we simply use chain=srcnat, outgoing-interface=public and finally action=masquarade. Works like a charm. But now we would like to have two gates, as we've got two ISP lines. So far, let's forget bonding and failover. Let's say we want to...

Just curious - when your ISP sells you you some bandwidth, and you resell it to your customers, what actually the bandwidth is? Is that on frames level? IP level? TCP level?

Hi pekr, The IP scheme you have shown is correct according to the example I mentioned. In the case of your diagram you have an extra network, 10.0.1.0/24, which you would not need if the clients could act as bridges. It's not a problem, but for me it just complicates the network. I understand the l...

pekr

To route you just need to add static routes and appropriate gateways. As you can only route between different networks you will have to have a network for your customers, say 10.0.1.0/24, then a network between the CPE and the AP, say 10.0.2.0/24, then you can NAT to the public address space. I fou...

Thanks for the tip. I will probably go with EoIP, as WDS is not widely used here. We have nearly full or already full 2.4 band, not so flat area, and nobody uses it for kind of Mesh networks here.
