Did you try with new power adapters? When PAs age, some capacitors may dry out (or bulge, those can be quite easily spotted)) and whole PA starts to malfunction in weird ways, e.g. the output power is not filtered, can contain dips in voltage which in turn can upset powered device. Also devices (wA...

hairfarmer

No issues, what voltage do you use to power this up and what is the loaded voltage at the unit?

Measured voltage at 23.2VDC at one problematic unit.

hairfarmer

Has anyone else had POE issues with wAP AC units lately? I have 6 units that will fail to power on fully unless I turn off the 5GHz radio. The cabling is CAT 5e and if there is a short run it works well, if its 100ft of cable this will not get enough power to run. I have swapped out APs and power in...

In Dude, packages are still listed as "system"
Dude upgrade "needed packages are not available" message still appears.

So Dude still can't update managed devices.

hairfarmer

We have quite a few AH1100 "Dude edition" deployed where BOTH the Dude AND Zerotier at the same time be quite useful (e.g. to monitor remote Mikrotik LTE devices via Zerotier/Wireguard). Dude requires V6, and modern VPNs requires V7, so kinda stuck here. This is the kinda shit that gets m...

mDNS server for Chromecast/Bonjour/ZeroConfig across VLANs.

WiFi networks are too big to have all the available devices all bridged to the LAN.

Would be nice to then firewall what devices are discoverable.

hairfarmer

Tons of products here! I'm still wanting to get some testing time on the wireless wire product from the last round of releases.

Got some homework.

hairfarmer

Upgrade failed? After upgrading RB1100AHx4 (arm) Dude Edition - Hotspot would not create simple queues for all users and speed drastically slowed down. So some users had queues (about 17) but there were 40 people logged. Less than half had a queue dynamically created. I could not find any associatio...

Hi Guys, I have a NAS that has about 145 dynamic NAT rules it want to use for remote access. I turned on UPnP and it did create the NAT rules but now I want to turn it off and go through each rule manually. Is there anyway to make a rule static or export the rules? If I turn off UPnP they will be re...

I run a campus wide hotspot over 9 buildings. It works but performance can be spotty. Since its running hotspot it has to operate over a giant bridge over all 9 buildings. We are using CAPsMAN and CRS125 switches however I am having an issue with the CRS switch chip. I can eliminate local forwarding...

hairfarmer

Remember non-local forwarding will tunnel all connectivity back through the controller. Issues related to MTU from the tunneling and subsequent fragmentation is possible. Additionally, if the radio's are at a shared point of contention you may be seeing issues. An example could be a non-local CAPSM...

hairfarmer

CCR1009 as CAPsMAN and local forwarding off.. CCR1009 has the horsepower to "catch" all those tunnels. I think this is where things are falling off. Performance per client should be able to saturate the wireless bandwidth and I'm not seeing that. Thanks for the reply. - would love to see ...

hairfarmer

Hi All, Local forwarding must be enabled if I want any performance over 25 Mbit over WiFi with WAP-AC units. Does this seem correct? Bottleneck appears to be somewhere in the bridge-cpu or CAPsMAN tunnel. Anyone getting good performance with local forwarding=OFF? I am testing with CRS125 units as sw...

Hi All, I have a hotspot server with a campus wide bridge servicing several buildings. Each building has a switch plugged to their own port on the hotspot controller. Recently I have had an issue where an entire building will go down. Only rebooting the controller will re-enable the bridge port. I t...

hairfarmer

No,

You simply leave that SSID and add the Virtual. You will then have both SSID broadcasting.

hairfarmer

I haven't tried pinning the ports to 100MBit/full on BOTH sides - should have given that a try. I just tried the CRS side.

I haven't seen failures after reboot as a pattern but I will start to look for that.

hairfarmer

Hi All,

Has anyone seen interfaces go up/down every 3-5 seconds?

This is a CRS125 with Mikrotik RBcAP2n Access Points attached:

InterfaceUP-Down.png

Just started happening after upgrade to 6.39.2 however occurs on firmware 6.38.7 (bugfix) too.

hairfarmer

Looks like it worth to switch to bugfix branch and proceed with it.

Not sure if this was directed towards me but I did and the current bug-fix didn't do the trick.

hairfarmer

Updated a CRS125-24G-1S to 6.39.2. Ethernet ports which have POE APs attached [RBcAP2n units] are now going up/down continuously on only 4 ports (total APs attached to the CRS=8). I'm at a point where I'm not sure if I need to replace the cabling since direct attaching the APs will fix the issue. At...

hairfarmer

by default the MAC address option is chosen but if the CAPsMAN was not accessible via MAC it switches to IP. If you want you can force to use just the MAC or just the IP. Thanks Uldis! I looked closer into the documentation For the CAPsMAN system to function and provide wireless connectivity, a CAP...

hairfarmer

No real change however may I ask if you are running Hotspot on this network?

hairfarmer

SOLVED But I'm not sure I know why. This is a hotspot setup and the device was assigned a hotspot host mapping to another IP. This meant that the ARP was resolving the MAC to the mapped IP from the hotspot system. Those IPs are normally bypassed? Anyway, if any APs come up in CAPsMAN as "MI&quo...

hairfarmer

This is weird. I have a hotspot bridge shows this ARP entry (192.168.88.75 -> 00:0C:42:4F:E7:5E) MAC1.png However that is wrong. This seems to happen to APs when the bridge interface IP. The actual MAC address: 00:0C:42:64:BF:82 (as is the admin-mac) mac2.png If I delete the ARP entry out of the hot...

I'm not certain if it is a certificate issue - but we are on 6.28 and many transactions are timing out to PayPal. Didn't notice anything in the changelog to indicate userman updates for these issues.

I have an issue with a RB433GL that will not upgrade to ROS 5.24. I fired up netinstall.exe on Windows 7 and tried setting the PXE active.

hairfarmer

Well I got it working. I have no idea why it wasn't working in the first place. One thing that makes this much easier is enabling RIP routing so I don't accidentally mistype a route here or there. One thing that caught me while testing this, the default config on the SXT's has a masquerade rule that...

With all due respect to Jorge, The fix here seems to define a default VLAN for all untagged traffic arriving on an interface so you can dump it onto an existing VLAN.

Anyone else having a problem with outages seeming blank, but in actuality the services drop down is on a different service than "all" ?

Anyone know hot to reset it back to the default????

hairfarmer

Notifications can be when a service goes from up->down but how to notify when a device is completely down, such as the list of down devices in the "devices" section.

Thanks!

hairfarmer

If you deactivate polling on a device, but a service on the device was down when you deactivated it why is the outage still active. Is there a way to clear the outage without removing the service from the device?

Thanks!

hairfarmer

Thanks - I am in the process of doing that.

I am just wondering - since I have had 3 hotspot routers that have had issues - what are the experiences in the Mikrotik community. This post was in the spirit of "misery loves company" more than "help, I am having problems."

You are saying that it should work as advertised and I am doing it right?

There is no special NAT rules or Firewall problems to fix.

I actually tried to upgrade to 3.4.
