holvoetn wireless in with a local AP then wireless out to next point. Then the same again.

richard_s

I am looking for a solution to provide wireless internet in and an AP then wireless out to next site. Sites are off grid and will be solar powered. Anyone any ideas? I miss the RB433's they were so versatile.

Thanks for the info rextended I will go for 5 Ghz. I think its the safest bet.

Richard

richard_s

Very rainy rural north Wales.

richard_s

Thanks rextended I am only going 1.25 Km had thought of using Cube 60Pro ac but that gives 1 Km then up to 2.4 Km so guessing 60 Ghz fails at 1 km and switches to 5 Ghz for greater range. I have no knowledge on the 60 Ghz ranges. So blind there.

richard_s

Has anyone connected 2 x SXTsq 5 ac in bridge mode and what was the maximum distance obtained?

Thanks

Richard

richard_s

I would like to take this a stage further and loose the ONT and connect directly to the incoming fiber. Has anyone any ideas, I am on Zen internet with 1 gig connection. Has anyone any ideas?

Richard

richard_s

Hi there this thread has gone quiet does this mean problems solved or is everyone waiting for a solution?

Richard

richard_s

Has anyone configured a router to connect direct to an incoming fiber feed from Zen and not using BT fitted ONT? If so how did you do it.

Thanks in advance

richard_s

Thanks for that mkx. Been chatting with a friend and come to the conclusion it would be better to put in 12 core fiber which gives me the opportunity to extend the network further with the spare cores in the future. Also if 1 SFP+ fails I still have 1 usable to the switch. I was hoping that there wa...

richard_s

chechito thanks for that info. What I am looking at is to run 40G fiber then split it between 2 x CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM switches 20G to each. The site I am looking at is remote with no electric supply (cost of installing it is way to much) so it will be solar powered it is the best location to feed cu...

richard_s

savage that means another router big expense to breakout a fiber. All I need is a converter like a fiber to copper ethernet unit.

richard_s

savage I know that cables exist. What I meant is a box that I can plug A fiber into running at 40G and it has a DAC cable from it so I can connect it to 4 x 10G ports

richard_s

+1 Whould like a working reply.

richard_s

I would like to see a 40G direct attach cable to 4 x 10G SFP+ connectors. That I could plug a 40G fiber into and split it between boxes using SFP+. Eliminating a switch or router to do it. Obviously the 40G splitter would nee power but it would be a cheaper way to split 40G to 4 x 10G.

richard_s

No I agree there. But I am sure there are things it could be used for.

richard_s

Nothing planned But There is no mention of memory card max size in specs for the routers just says microSD. But 2Tb makes you think what you could do.

richard_s

Hello all what I want to know is there an upper limit on the size of microSD card than can be put into this board.

Thanks

Richard

richard_s

In the next few years we will be wanting 200 Gbit/s QSFP56 then a few more and it will be 400 Gbit/s QSFP-DD. The demand for bigger and bigger links is growing.

richard_s

Its a dust trap! A problem waiting to happen. I would not use one, What I need are SFP and SFP+ ports. A 100Gig with 10 SFP+ ports would be of interest to me all my customers are remote and fiber is the only option for me. Due to heavy trees and mountainous terrain fiber is the only option and I ins...

richard_s

Are the Mikrotik CWDM chassis an industry standard? Could I use it with other manufacturers equipment?

Thanks

Richard

richard_s

I would love a SFP version of the RB4011iGS+RM 20 SFP ports instead of RJ45 as none of my customers are within ethernet range of my cabs. I cant be the only one in this boat. 2 x SFP+ and 20 SFP would be ideal.

richard_s

Cheers

richard_s

Aiming for 99.99% using 2 unconnected routes for fallover. My friend is over there collecting info for me, Then he will oversee the network build.

richard_s

LOL missed the joke I was up late last night and I am a bit tired 6 hours difference in UK and Panama time. I have the challenge of designing an off grid fiber network for a new eco village all off grid. Hence no local power.

richard_s

Nope Connie qualified = taken the courses and passed them. As to mains power there is none nearby. Semi jungle area in Panama. Local houses solar powered.

richard_s

Thanks ConnyMercier I have had a quick look at the PSU and the electrolytic capacitors are 35v rated which suggests the output voltage will be 24v. I will get it on the bench tomorrow and check voltage with meter. As to batteries panels etc I am a qualified electrician. But thanks for your warnings ...

richard_s

Hello all. Is it possible to run this router directly from a 24v (preferred) or 48v DC supply? I want to use it on an off grid location powered by solar panels.
Many thanks
Richard

richard_s

Its been a while and no response from Mikrotik.

richard_s

I will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

richard_s

Will Mikrotik be producing LoRa sensors any time in the future? I prefer to use all the same manufacturers kit.

Richard

richard_s

Ground loops can be a problem . I came across this many years ago with telex printers at a limestone quarry where the local ground potential was about 1000v different from the local telephone exchange. tread carefully

richard_s

Best bet is to power netpower 16P with 48v and injecting Poe for 24v and isolating the switch from other DC racks by using fiber to connect between rack mounted equipment and netpower 16P.

Good luck

richard_s

I had a port flapping problem, I turned off the auto negotiate and set the data rate this fixed the problem.

Hope this helps

Richard

richard_s

Joarc I am holding off I would like to see 100G upstream with 10 SFP+ down feeding 1 SFP+ to 10 1G SFP or 2 SFP+ to 20 1G SFP routers for feeding customers with 1G capability. The 40G modules are not that common I can see the 25G-50G-100G-200G route prevailing in the long term and end up with the mo...

richard_s

40G QSFP+ ports seems an odd route to go. I would have thought that 25 Gbit/s SFP28, 50 Gbit/s QSFP14, 100 Gbit/s QSFP28 leading to 200 Gbit/s QSFP56 the logical route to go. 40Gbit/s seems an odd rate and not common.

richard_s

I would have expected 100G QSFP28 up links as standard on the new routers. In a bandwidth hungry world they are a must.

richard_s

Thanks xvo that was very informative.

richard_s

Thanks xvo Looking at that they will work off 12v DC direct. Is there an adapter to plug in and provide 12v direct? If not would it be easy to connect direct via a fuse?

richard_s

Is it possible to power this with DC power i.e. 12,24 or 48V If so how do I do it? Its the same question for the CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM. These are to be used in remote location and the power company wants silly money to provide mains power. 24V would be perfect.
Thanks

Richard

richard_s

Hi rfc1149, Have you thought of using a power wall? I use these with 24v solar to keep them charged https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7S-2P-advanced-29-4V-7s-power-wall-project-18650-battery-pack/124191533942?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item1cea646b76:g:Uu4AAOSwmi1ewu9R&enc=AQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1...

Thanks for that Jotne. Thats sorted me out, Off to buy some paint next week (bet it rains lol).

richard_s

Hello All,
I am looking to deploy a pair of LHG XL 5 ac dishes. Where they will be going is in a National park. My question is can I paint them in matt green paints to disguise them, and if so what type of paint is safe?

Many thanks

Richard

richard_s

Is it possible to power this from 12 volts DC direct?

Thanks

Sorry posted wrong router should have been CRS326-24S+2Q+RM

richard_s

Ooops. Missed that shopping time

richard_s

Interesting thread. I would like 2-4 QSFP ports with 24 SFP+ ports that are both 1 and 10 Gig capable. For the CPE HAP ac's etc a VOIP port RJ11 connection.

richard_s

Is your negotiation set to auto? If it is manually set your connection speed at both ends that might work.

richard_s

On the hardware page you have the "features" option under this you have "SFP and SFP+" combined. Could these be split down to SFP, SFP+ and QSFP as separate filters?

richard_s

Thanks all for your input I have been looking at it the wrong way (the hard one) it is looking simpler than I thought. Will set up on the bench and get working then deploy.

richard_s

yes xvo dig and learn. Thanks

richard_s

Thanks xvo its just a big learning curve for me as I have always dealt with simple networks this one is a big challenge for me and a lot for me to learn. I am an engineer not a software person wires, wifi and fiber I can understand the programming side of things I struggle with.

richard_s

xvo this is a new project out of what I have done before. So looking for some help and constructive comments!

richard_s

By 1 hour time zone wise

richard_s

How do I block L3 communication between VLANs? This is a new area to me.

richard_s

1 address range for cameras 1 for VOIP and the other for internet and hot spots. Thanks not touched VLANS before.

richard_s

Is it possible to put 3 networks down a fiber connection then break them out at the other end? If so how would I do it in non programmers terms. sorry about the quality of the drawing have a broken finger

3 into 1.jpg

richard_s

When will they put a SFP+ interface on wAP 60G ? and add MS13 capability.

richard_s

I am aware of these Van9018 what would be nice would be have less boxes I.E all in one box.

richard_s

Yes like an RJ11 to plug in an analogue phone into

richard_s

Are there any plans to add any SIP ports to any switches or routers? The HAP ac with one would make an ideal home router with a SIP port added and remove the need for an extra box for VOIP.

richard_s

I dropped the routerboard and broke off C809 it is marked up as:-

thanks very much for that i had gone off down the wrong track with my thinking, now the penny has dropped. programming is not my forte i am still learning with a long way to go.
once again many thanks for the help

richard

richard_s

thanks for the reply
i am using windows what i dont know is where to put the "You must assign the ip range 10.0.0.2-10.0.0.253" is it to go into the mikrotik box if so where?

richard

richard_s

so they have to be done one at a time. what directory do i do this in? and whats the format. i am going to be using static IP's as this network will be used for 10 TV channels.

thanks

richard

richard_s

no i know how to access box its how do i input information (ip or ip firewall) and what format do i put "You must assign the ip range 10.0.0.2-10.0.0.253 with gateway" in

thanks

richard

richard_s

pardon my ignorance but how do i do that in telnet?

thanks

the plot seems to have gone astray (or i was not detailed enough). i want to assign 2 ip addresses to the AP (wireless card not the ethernet ports). this would enable me to put new customers on my new address range and over a period of time change my existing customers to the new range. thanks richard

i am using fixed ips due to using iptv etc

richard
