Just that it was not available/thought of before, and now it is. Robert never said 'thanks' or sent a case of beer. They sure as shit didn't have the idea before.

UBNT made ToughSwitch one whole product-cycle-lead-time after i posted the RB750 All-ports PoE MOD.

Fact.

adrianatkins

I've been making an AP Power solution recently, and can't help feeling that it already has been done. Has anyone found a system that :- Has 4 remotely switchable PoE outputs (RJ45) Has a secured web interface Has a four-port 10/100 switch Uses any car battery Charges the battery properly Reports on ...

adrianatkins

Would anybody be really annoyed if there was a firmware that you could flash onto a Ubiquiti device that made it look more like Mikrotik's Winbox interface, along with some of the extra features you get with Mikrotik ? Just that it'd be simpler if the engineers only had to learn 1 interface, and it ...

adrianatkins

Funny ! i got :-
+ve Karma from a Guy who used this, and found it useful
-ve karma from becarra, who thinks this is somehow to do with IPv4.

Obviously it's IPV6 ;)

adrianatkins

Click on the top option in Winbox, click all the sub-tabs.

Carry on clicking until you reach the bottom.

All that stuff - the stuff in ROS that we buy ROS for.

adrianatkins

I suppose a Magic Pixie chooses which driver.

adrianatkins

If it's TDMA, then it really really needs some time synch.

If it has none, it's like Airmax, and therefore of limited benefit.

I bet Skypilot rue the day they used a nano 2 and tested their TDMA code on it.

Er, the 'Hot Blondies' is my Mother.

adrianatkins

IPv6. It's gonna happen. It *has* to happen. These are facts. WTF to do about it ? Ignore it ? I guess the 'IPv6' menu option will be the answer. However, unless all the stuff we need works with IPv6, then *we're* screwed, which in turn means we buy no more Mikrotiks. Beta will be Fine - it will all...

adrianatkins

DOH !

Just split out the power pairs from the Cat5.
Wire them all together into a connector block.

Add your favourite PSU or power solution.

(do not use petrol for cooling)

adrianatkins

Due to the lack of a reasonable hazard, i stopped using this mod quite a while ago. Much better (and easier) to just split the PoE pairs out of the Cat5 and wire them into a chock-block. It's less neat than the PoE mod, but it allows for placing the finished assembly into a plastic bag full of petro...

adrianatkins

The sticker on my RB750 worked !

A magic pixie moved in, and i got 500Gb/s thru it for 12 hours.

I was so excited that i forgot to feed the Pixie, and it left.

adrianatkins

Schematic is there at the top.

It turns out much cheaper and simpler to just buy a 15 euro charger than making one.

adrianatkins

We just told you ... I was really asking if anyone knew how it was done. Now if it were a <0.5um process using parellelised data channels and parrallel cpus, then that'd be an answer. If it were FPGAs (like Juniper) re-flashing/configuring the logic arrays to make a super fast router, then that'd b...

adrianatkins

No Magic Pixies arrived yet.

Googling was better : http://www.bbn.com/resources/pdf/50G.pdf

adrianatkins

So, no-one really knows, but they do know that 10Gibabgit Routers exist.

Hmmm.

I wonder if my throughputs will increase if i write 1Pb/s on the top of my RB750.

I'll try it and see if the Cisco Magic Pixies decide to come and live inside my router.

adrianatkins

Both CPUs would use the same MikroTik x86 firmware - as would some others, as they are x86 architecture.

The problem would be more than just making a driver work on your specific CPU chip.
They would have to make/get a driver that would work on all x86 CPUs.

adrianatkins

Maybe i misunderstood it too.

adrianatkins

Nerja, near Malaga

adrianatkins

The Cisco routers we have support it now

Cisco still have to use existing technology. They do not have Magic Pixies inside their equipment.

How is 1 Gig or 10 GigaBit per second actually made possible in a router ?

adrianatkins

If the sensor exists, and it is an Intel chip, then it should be available as data.

I have a pile of about 70 AMD Geode based ALIX boards here in a box (Intel Compatible).

Is there a temperature sensor in those as well ?

adrianatkins

I checked, and it's a known missing feature actually.

Oooops. I have that Feature. I don't know why i stole it.

Where can i meet you to give it back.

So sorry. I don't know what came over me.

adrianatkins

OK. I've woken up now, and am interested.

Will Nv2 have some kind of time synch ?

If not, it's the same as AirMax in the sense that we can't use it effectively.

adrianatkins

Running more than 1 watt EIRP is illegal where i am (Spain) and that is the max on 5Ghz > 5450Mhz. On 2.4 it's 100mW. It's also basically stupid to have your radio running 'Hot' or Over Powered because it forces the final stage(s) of the radio card into un-designed-for areas. They make Noise, and lo...

adrianatkins

I use 10 minutes so i can se things happening faster.

If your RADIUS server is inside your network, then it is not so much traffic.

adrianatkins

In Real Life, look at the SNRs/CCQs and see if you have a good Radio connection.

Make the Radio Connection Very good, measure the speed, then try the Queues.

adrianatkins

I forgot to mention that you can tell what power the MT RB is on by monitoring the voltage it has, so you can script for whether the PSU have both failed (based on time-of-day if you attach a solar panel).

And you get a few Days of No Problem, so it's not an emergency if/when they do.

adrianatkins

Hey ! Martin !

I guess you're in Spain.

We should meet up sometime: adrian@adrianatkins.com

Be nice to me or i'll bite your ankles.

You forgot to say: Make a MetaRouter OpenWRT image that allows my users to PAY to play each other online.

1-gig How is that possible on TCP/IP ? More specifically, how is that possible to actually deliver that with current CPU technology - never mind the radios. With 16 simultaneous users over 1 second, that's 16 Giga bits in a second = 2 Giga Bytes in 1 second. If the CPU of the first router is at say...

adrianatkins

I did a whole load of PIC programming in assembler to get TCP/IP working over PPP on a PIC16F88 before i decided that it just wasn't worth the effort. If anyone wants the code, they can have it.

adrianatkins

I decided to settle for a really simple and easy to make AP power solution that doesn't cost much.

Features mutiple power sources, including 2x normal PSU, Wind and Solar, and about 4 days power backup for a single RB433AH all for less than you pay for the RB433.

Enjoy.

Temperature sensing depends on there being a temperature sensor on the Board.

If the board has not got one, you can't magically make one in software.

Nothing can really stop all P2P traffic, because we have to allow some traffic, and the P2P guys are really quite clever. If you really want to kill all P2P, you would have to :- 1.

If you're new to all this, better off keeping it as simple as possible. Yes, have Two networks on your ether2 - no problem, but i guess you just want to keep the WiFi clients from messing with the APs - just change the passwords on the APs..... Set ether2 with 10.16.0.1/24. Set all the APs's to use ...

adrianatkins

What's the best way to separate Access Points from Wi-Fi users?

There are many ways to do this :-

1. Remove the AP so the users can't connect to it
2. Charge Money - the users will go and look for a Free AP.

adrianatkins

500Mb/s is a lot.

Are you sure you want a 68 euro device to handle Wire speed connections between maybe 10 devices ?

What's your budget ?

Depending on the Budget, you might be better off with a much faster mikrotik with more ram.

adrianatkins

I suppose that from the point-of-view of the Kernel, all the ether1, ether2 and the VRRP interface are all separate interfaces. Having the same network on all three would cause it some difficulty in working out what interface it should use to send data to the 192.168.1.0 network. Try a different sub...

adrianatkins

A super cool thing would be for the Mikrotik to detect what it's lacking, based on how much fannying around the admin user is doing (and how often) and automatically send that info to MT so they can automatically include a new feature to do whatever the admin was doing all that time. Auto feature re...

adrianatkins

I think you'll have to run OpenWRT in a metarouter, and disable the serial console in ROS to get what you want.

4.RX (open collector input)

There is no 'answer' to P2P. You might as well say "i want to block Internet". The *only* solution is to control the user's bandwidth. If they use it all up with their P2P, maybe their Skype calls will be flaky. They learn quick. When people buy "Internet", they expect it *all* t...

A Sucess Story !

Congratulations, and well done.

Did you get anywhere with this Gunther ?

I'm not asking you to share or anything (and i'd be surpirsed if you did after the reception you got) just curious if you made any progress.

do you need mangling at all?

Only a true bloodthirsty (but polite) 1000 year old warrior would ask that question !

The first post looks good, but i'd be much happier if there were two or three bricks on top of the legs as well as under them.

Where i live we get really strong winds in Feb + March.

I'm getting really annoyed that you all keep posting *only* photos of *my* installations. Also, how come you know where they all are around the world ? Are you MI5 ? Lastly, i left my new shoes in the shoebox, so if you could lift up the battery and get the shoes, and send them to me, i'd appreciate...

adrianatkins

Nope.

It's two connectors on 1 Radio.

You can use Main or Aux, but not both at the same time.

When you select one, the other will not work.

adrianatkins

If you've got a Mikrotik as your gateway, you might try replacing the ADSL router with an ADSL Modem, and using PPPoE on the Mikrotik itself. ADSL modems are about 10 euros hereabouts. There will still be some NATing going on (has to be done) but you might at least get some control of how it does it...

adrianatkins

All depends on exactly what you're looking for.

I bet you wish there was an out-of-the-box-and-working solution !

adrianatkins

Quite right - Always set the DF flag.

'Optimal' is a tricky one.
Whatever gets through is good, but too low and some websites break, and there's not a lot we can do about it.

adrianatkins

How do you know who said that ?

adrianatkins

I trade as Autonomo, so my name is, er, my name.

OK. That's the kind of data i was looking for. Thanks.

We currently pay $250/mo

How many punters do you get billed for $250 ?

adrianatkins

Sounds like a Great Idea.

TCP only Internet. Bliss.

adrianatkins

Like the man says.

You *can* do it on one radio card, but you'll get much better speeds if you use two.

adrianatkins

Madre mia !

Martín, if you dont get it, nobody will.

I might as well stop trying to see if anybody wants what the likes of Vodafone, O2 etc have, and just use it myself.

adrianatkins

Maybe there's a Session Timeout box filled in with 00:08:00 instead of 08:00:00 ?

Either in Radius or on the Mikrotik on the tower.

Have a look at the radcheck/radgroupreply records for a punter on that tower.

adrianatkins

Check out the post by gunther01.

He's working on a solution.

maximum MTU that was going to repond without frag Almost everything (including XP) sets the IP 'dont fragment' flag these days. ICMP PMTU (Path MTU) discovery is blocked in so many places that it is also basically redundant. MTU refers to the IP layer of the connection. It is the biggest packet tha...

adrianatkins

Beware !

COA will only work for you if the RADIUS server has access to your network, and you have allowed Incoming Radius on the mikrotik.

You'll also need something to actually push the COA requests.

adrianatkins

Nope. i have not tried ROS 5 yet.
It didn't work under ROS 4 either.

Useless feature really.

adrianatkins

How much would this lot be worth to you ? :- 1. Complete Bandwidth Control (as it says. too much to list) 2. Hard-Limits on per-month usage (they use their 3Gb, got to pay more) 3. HotSpot Income (they can connect at 4am and pay you) 4. Tickets for HotSpots (print your own money) 5. Customer File (a...

adrianatkins

I did all of that in what i call VX.

It's a Radius based system, and dynamically bashes the queues, who's authorised etc etc etc.

It was a Huge amount of work, but sorts it all out.

Trouble is, everyone wants it for free.

adrianatkins

Your ISP sounds nasty.

Telefonica (in Spain) are very helpful. If you send too many emails, they block port 25.

adrianatkins

It can be done, but it is too complicated to say 'here's how you do it'.

There is another thread by gunther01 looking to do something similar, and he says he's working on it.

adrianatkins

The trouble is, you said 'Canopy' in your Subject line. Most mikrotik users *hate* canopy cos of the interference and subsequent problems it causes a non-canopy user of the same band. Re-post it with "How do i get bitrate in Device map instead of Link map ?" and i bet you'll get a lot more...

adrianatkins

PCC might be a good idea.

I have no idea what the speeds of your connections are, but PCC will load-balance across the two connections, and automatically fail-over to the other one if one fails.

adrianatkins

Apparently only *some* micro-SD cards will work.

All the ones i got off Ebay work fine in everything else (iPhone, several cameras etc) but not on the MT board.

I fannied about with it for ages, and gave up - stuck a USB hard disk on it instead.

What Logging software you need depends entirely on what you are trying to Log.

What exactly do you need to Log, Why, and is that Legal in your Country ?

adrianatkins

Zappa - you got to TRY stuff and LEARN. Set yourself up behind a mikrotik and apply some queues to yourself. If you don't want to spend 2 days or a Week on a course, you got to follow the Super-Nerds like me, and spend months fiddling with yourself. (more correctly speaking, the queues etc that you ...

adrianatkins

Seems not.

6 days and still nothing useful.

can u please review tht product and let me know

No f**king way.

YOU install it and review it and let US know what you think about it.

adrianatkins

syslogd -r

on a linux box will stash all the log entries into a file (or files) as you like it.

Searching 100Gb of text takes quite a while though, which is why i found logzilla.

Stop being lazy and try one of the suggestions.

You may have to put *some* effort in .....

Al most all microsoft stufff needs rebooting periodically. As fewi says, it's a 'quick fix' that you have to keep doing. The reason is normally what is called a 'memory leak', although there are many other possible reasons. A 'memory leak' is simply when a program asks the OS for some memory, the OS...

adrianatkins

Rebooting/resting is a crazy idea.

The equipment should stay working 24/7, so Cooling would be a good plan.

However, if turning them off for 30 mins a day works for you - i can't really say it's 'wrong'.

Whatever makes it work for you is generally a Good Thing.

adrianatkins

There are many many ways of doing this. The simplest thing is make a 'Parent' queue, and then, as you guessed, make 'Child' queues under it - with each traffic type having a different Priority. The Whole traffic will be subject to the Parent Queue, and, like you say, the Children wll fight for their...

adrianatkins

You could hook an old microline dot-matrix printer to a linux box, and get it to print the logs as they come in.

You may need a *lot* of paper.

All depends on what you mean. Mb/s download (UDP or TCP) Mb/s Upload (UDP or TCP) Mb/s Up+Download (UDP or TCP) at the same time .... etc etc. I get 106Mb/s UDP one-way-only thru one of my 'N' links. I expect that will be drastically less for TCP, but haven't bothered finding out, cos it's faster th...

You need a Linux PC with a BIG hard drive.

I run a linux box with a 500Gb main Disk and a 1Tb secondary hard disk.

Install mysql, syslog-ng and logzilla.

Set the Mikrotik routers to log all forwarded traffic to your Logging server.

Expect to be logging a Huge amount of mainly useless junk.

adrianatkins

TCP 3-way handshake done.

Even a Windows PC will talk to me now.

i just got to figure out what it's saying, and extra happiness results.

adrianatkins

you should turn up the power a little bit

Ah. The slippery slope towards illegal EIRP.

Up the Power. More ! More !

Maybe it's a Good thing you don't do wireless. (definately a Smart thing).

Do you ever get the feeling that you're being ignored ?

What exactly is the port 60000 service ?
TCP, UDP or what ?

All Firewall rules imply actuall inspecting the data that goes thru the router, and that takes CPU time. Arguably Layer-7 takes the most time, especially with big patterns. NAT takes time and memory. Each NATed connection eats about 340 bytes of RAM. If you use all 65535 ports, that's about 21Mb of ...

there can be queues within queues within queues .... and so on. E.g. Let's say you want to have HTTP, DNS and POP go fast. Just use the IP-Firewall-Forward tables, and make a Packet Mark (for example). Create a new simple queue (Queue trees take more planning). Add a new Queue, give it some guarante...

HotSpot will certainly do it. If it's just 20 clients, and will never be more, you might find it easier to just add the users under IP->Hotspot->Users(tab) That will be a pretty quick start for you.

Mikrotik shows Queues rather oddly IMHO. It goes against common sense to Queue some traffic to speed it up. However, what isn't obvious is that ALL traffic is queued in Queue Prio 8 by default it seems. So, if you add a stream of traffic to Queue Prio 1-7, then it will have priority over all the res...

adrianatkins

Statics & routed. Good. It might make things easier if you have Queues called something like OK-1M, SLOW-1M etc. Then if they have bought the 1Mb package, and they go over whatever limit, you just need to change the first part of the name of the queue they're in. That way you could also see at a...

ditch this whole webserver on mikrotik idea That'd work best. The only reason you'd ever want to do it would to be to save some money.
