Re: PoE Oddity, expected results?

Yes I am aware. My point here is that this is not documented anyplace and the full effects are unknown. I need to find my poe breakout kits to do some more testing. I suspect that depending on the end device there may be other interactions. Also I have not tested the non gige injectors and those mig...

Re: PoE Oddity, expected results?

And an update. Plug in ethernet to injector, injector into switch. Switch powers device as it should. Plug the DC in first, switch does not bring power up (its not a managed switch so no logs) Plug DC in after switch has powered device, /both are active/ and feeding power to the device. Switch is /n...

PoE Oddity, expected results?

I wasn't paying attention on my work bench and ended plugging a mikrotik gige poe into a poe+ af/at port. To my surprise the cube60 that I was setting up powered on. I had not plugged in the DC psu at that point. I was not expecting af/at to work with the injector inline. Now I am worried what would...

Possible Bug. /int eth print stats

On CHR it just returns to the prompt with no information.
Every RB tested returns stats just not on CHRs. Bug or

Are there plans for 60GHz radios with 2.5/5 or 10gbit interfaces? We are looking between MT and Ignite units for a 60GHz rollout. If there are plans, will the units be backwards compatible?

Re: I have neighbors problem

Why do you have IP addresses on ether1 and wlan1 while those interfaces are part of a bridge? When interfaces are in a bridge you only add addresses to the bridge.

Also log into the mt from another pc and check that its arp table matches after you do a ip scan. If it is blank then the issue is in the network config or firewall or such. If they do not matc...

Did that solve the issue for you? For me multi WAN + Hotspot still does not work. I have to place another device inline to do the multi WAN and let the MT do the Hotspot (because I also do some VLANS on it).

Interesting, this worked. Does there not need to be a masquerade statement someplace? I simply disabled the original one and mine and moved that one to top with them.

A PPtP config, namely

This way the user manager can track the user and set their service level. All my fixed users will be using pptp. Everyone else will land on the hotspot.
