What's the status on the HAP (RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT) FCC certification ?

I have a pending order (in Canada) which remains unfulfilled for well over 8 weeks now.

Since upgrading the firmware to the latest version on my CRS125-24G, the wireless master interface is gone from a possible choice. Is there any way I can know for use if it is really dead ? Should I attempt to perform a factory reset ?

Can I have some examples of the syntax ...

What is the way of expressing 100 mbps ?

Who else has been doing performance testing on the RB260GS... ?

F.

fmenard123

The wiki says the value of bandwidth limit is in bps... the field in the web interface is about 4 characters long.

I'm clueless as to what is the format.

Could it not be 10M for 10MBps ... and 10K for 10 Kbps and 100M for 100 MBps...

Are you saying that the Cat5 jumpers should be of a minimal length ?

PPPoE over FTTH definitely isn't the norm. The prioritization of multiple PPPoE sessions does not typically tie into the queuing performed by Ethernet chips inside Active Ethernet switches. Personally, I would prefer doing DHCP Option 82. Are you going to try to make use of RB2011s with SFP ports ? ...

I have big plans for RB's with SFP ports. I'd like for the RB2011 to at least be disclosed in 2011... before they turn into RB2012's. Like how many models will have an SFP port ?

Where is the SFP port on the rackmount version ?

does each port part of a switch group has to have a master set for it ?

fmenard123

Why would there be more than one master port per switch group eludes me ...

Isin't the purpose of the master port for RouterOS to communicate with the switch group ?

Further, the docs says that once a port is set at master, nothing can be connected to it ... what ?

Links are still missing from this page:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Line_editor

Also there is no description of 'F6 Cellar Mode'

What is that ?

F.

fmenard123

Will it also accelerate other VPNs than IPSEC, such as SSTP ?

F.

fmenard123

Does it matter the number of tunnels ?

i.e. we have 800 mbps to play with aggregate, that is either;

80 tunnels at 10 mbps

I've found two missing links on the Doc Wiki for the use of the console:

I would like to proactively monitor link performance. Should I go net flow or script traffic generator and collect results ? What are the approaches used in the real world on a RouterOS network for proactively collecting network performance ? Does it vary if the service is an MPLS LSP versus Layer 2 ?

When is it a requirement to upgrade the boot loader on an RB1100AH ?

F.

fmenard123

Assuming one uses an RB1100AH or RB1100AHX2 (the one with hardware encryption support) as a VPN concentrator.

How many tunnels could it support at which speed simultaneously ?

Are there any performance testing results for that ?

F.

So effectively, this allows for a 'dual power supply' set-up that is known not to burn the board ?

fmenard123

Just got my RB1100AH!!!

A) for how long has it been shipping ?
B) Has Freescale fixed the supply of CPUs ? Is availability of RB1100AH difficult ?
C) What's the deal on the the availability of the RB1100AH X2 ?

F.

fmenard123

I've tested successfully the bypass switch on the RB1100AH.

What are the conditions that may lead to the bypass switch from being triggered aside from loss of power ?

F.

fmenard123

Is there hardware encryption capability on the RB1100 AH and not on the RB1100AHX2. In the manual, it seems to imply so. But on the spec sheet, its different (ROC-NOC).

By selecting 'User service Tag', the VLAN ID becomes an SVLAN ID.

But it ain't doing no G.8032 ... which would be nice;)

Oh well, I'm now thinking of buying a Carrier Ethernet NID ...

You are right. I was reading this off of the documentation, documenting the Action = Passthrough as opposed to some other action with the capability to NOT set the passthrough = CONTINUE GOING DOWN THE LIST = Yes to NO = STOP HERE.

Very much confusing but logical.

F.

fmenard123

What is the documented behaviour for use of passthrough = yes ? The manual says: when passthrough = yes = IGNORE THIS RULE AND GO TO NEXT ONE (useful for statistics). So assuming that we configure an action on a Mangle Rule Action of say: Action = Mark Packet and New Packet Mark = FOO and Say that P...

fmenard123

I think part of my confusion is that I do not understand what to use as the gateway for an L2TP tunnel. For instance, when I was provided the information from PortableIP, I was told what IP address Portable IP would assign, and was told what is the VPN server to use. Is the VPN server the gateway ? ...

fmenard123

Still very much confused after 2 hours of trying to get this to work.

I get it on the inbound, its the bit about making sure that traffic from my inside LAN SMTP server follows the path of the tunnel that I do not get.

F.

fmenard123

Sure, I'll take you up on an example.

My PortableIP tunnel is only very low speed, so I only want the SMTP traffic to go through it.

So if you assume my LAN SMTP server is at 192.168.1.252 port 25 and my PortableIP public IP is x.y.z.w what would be the policy route ?

F.

fmenard123

I've got my PPPTP tunnel up and running, its pinging inbound.

However DST-NAT to my NATTed home SMTP server is not spitting packets out.

Do you need a corresponding SRC-NAT rule ?

I just want Port 25 traffic out of my SMTP server to go back out of the PPTP interface...

F.

fmenard123

Is there any service provider out there that sells a service whereby a public IPv4 address is assigned at the tail end of a RouterOS compatible tunnel (IPv4, GRE, EoIP ?), so that I can get incoming traffic over Port 25 over my cable modem connection ?
