CAPsMAN on 7.18 to a HAP ax^3 not working

I'm more than a little baffled here. I've followed the instructions on the latest documentation https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/224559120/WiFi#WiFi-WiFiCAPsMAN but I only get partway there. CAPsMAN is running on the main router, using the VLANS : LAN: 30 MGMT: 31 IOT: 32 It is connec...

Re: Can't get VLAN trunk working

Bingo! Many thanks @CGGXANNX I was working from the assumption (stupid me) that setting the untagged VLAN was sufficient, but effectively it also needed to be manually assigned the PVID and I hadn't even looked into that submenu as the VID title didn't make me think of everything. If only the title ...

Re: Can't get VLAN trunk working

That was just a screenshot I had on hand. When I'm connected to port#2 and I open Winbox, I see a good connection L2 Ethernet and I can see that the MGMT interface is properly associated with it's IP but that information is all just broadcast over ethernet frames. There's no L3 connectivity in that ...

Re: Can't get VLAN trunk working

Done - but removing VLAN 1 from all ports doesn't change the situation as far as communicating with the router.

Re: Can't get VLAN trunk working

The topic noted was one of my sources and I think that I have followed the instructions adapted to this configuration. Effectively, I disabled the "frame-types=admit-only-vlan-tagged" as a measure to keep things as open as possible. Complete configuration attached minimum.rsc The switch is...

Can't get VLAN trunk working

OK - I have what should be a very simple setup for using VLANs but for some reason it's not working. The managed switch is setup with the SFP+ port using VLAN tagging for the 4 noted VLANs, and individual ports are setup as access ports for the different VLANs. What's interesting is that I can see t...

CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe Reset not resetting

I'm trying to do a reset according to the instructions here : https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/UM/pages/116555782/CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe , but I never see the red blinking on the fiber ports as described in the documentation. I've tried various screwdrivers (maybe the tips were non-conductive?) an...

Re: RDS2216 U.2 height

@antonsb - thanks for the link. I'm checking again, but on the Micron 7400 series for example, it's only the 960GB model that is 7mm. As soon as I go up to the 1.92TB I'm at 15mm. Better luck with the Samsung 9A3/983 series which appear to go all the way up to 7.68 in 7mm. I was originally looking m...

RDS2216 U.2 height

Looking over the specs on the new RDS2216 I can think of a number of interesting use cases, but one constraint that jumps out is that the 20 NMVe slots are all 7mm (half-height) ones and almost all of the current crop of enterprise U.2 SSDs on the market are 15mm. In fact it's getting *really* hard ...

Re: MLAG Configuration question

I understand that Mikrotiks don't stack in the traditional sense, but do have the MLAG (Multi-chassis LAG) feature which is functionally equivalent for this use case: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Multi-chassis+Link+Aggregation+Group The documentation is just a little light on ancillary...

MLAG Configuration question

Hi there, I'm in the process of designing for a stretch cluster across two sites with two independent fibre links between the sites and trying to figure out the implementation details required for the MLAG configuration. This is easy with stackable switches on each site as there's just the one LAG t...

OpenVPN not routing site to site?

Having some issues getting a site to site connection working with OpenVPN and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
