We have gotten this on a few RB3011s.

This has been after they were 'comprimised', and then netinstalled. Still unable to access them. We have not yet found a solution.

theWISP

I Must voice my opinion on the removed permissions for scripts run from Netwatch. Our entire WISP management is built around scripts run via Netwatch, upgrading, pushing configurations, self-configuring cpes during installs, emailed reports, etc. 1000's of devices utilize these functions in our netw...

theWISP

Exactly!

Not happening though. I get one way traffic, and if i enable loop protect on the eth ports they detect a loop.

I think there is a bug.

theWISP

Hey All! So heres the situation - RB3011 - 6.42.3 I would like to bridge ether ports 1 & 2, then connect ether2 to ether10 without creating a loop. More specifically: router1-ether1 (192.168.1.2) -----------> router2-ether1 (no ip) ---------> in a bridge group with router2-ether2 (no ip) -----------...

I have had nothing but mediocre and 'pass the buck' responses from Mikrotik over the past 15years. I have given up having them listen or assist.

theWISP

I have been tracking down a few reports within our network due to 1-2% packet loss. Isolated the issue to only RB3011UiAS devices. After finding this thread, I disabled the LCD on one unit, and it immediately resolved the packet loss issue. Disabled LCD on 15 or so other units, also resolved the iss...

Could we mark/tag an incoming transaction at the AP if its from a specific src IP with the intended dst, then mangle the dst to be the provider A responsible router. Then at that provider A router, read that tag/mark which contains the intended dst, and mangle the dst back to its original? Or is thi...

theWISP

Thanks for the reply! I have seen that presentation, and in fact one of our senior network admins can be seen in the audience of the mum video :D We actually called IPA yesterday looking for a quick brainstorm session, but your billing model didn't quite apply to our current needs, and the inbound c...

theWISP

Thanks for the reply!

Thats the way I was leaning too, could you elaborate on how you see that working?

theWISP

Hey Folks! Im reaching out here for some brainstorming, here is the synopsis: We have 2 different upstream providers at 2 different geographic locations, lets name them "Provider A" and "Provider B". Both are used at all times (NOT a failover situation) Each providers respective edge Mikrotik router...

theWISP

Very Very Unstable! As such an integral part of our success, I am so disappointed in Mikrotiks haphazard development process. I am SO disgusted, I am beyond trying to offer a detailed and constructive review. IT'S GARBAGE. PERIOD. We were working with Mikrotik to find a bug where CHR dude hosted by ...

UPDATE I have a configuration that is working with Google Project Fi and a USB Dongle (Modem). I picked up a Huawei e3276s-505 which uses BANDS 1 / 2 / 4 / 5 / 12 / 17 This is where I purchased the USB LTE Modem From : http://www.store4g.com/huawei-e3276/ Using this list, I was able to determine th...

theWISP

Thanks for the info Pamela - Yup, I was aware of the data only sim- kinda why I was heading down this road.

theWISP

Thanks for the reply!

Actually, I am looking to add a permanent Project Fi Interface to a Mikrotik Device. So not necessarily a full phone, but rather a USB LTE 'Modem'.

Ill keep looking for something that is compatible.

Cheers!

theWISP

Hey There, I am also looking to get a project fi connection working with a mikrotik device. Did you have any luck? If so, which USB Dongle or ePCI card did you use? Could you share your configuration? Which Mikrotik device did you use? Also, in your area, which network are you finding you are connec...

Hey Fitbrama - What do you got? We/I am always up to listen...

theWISP

Thanks for the replies. I guess i didn't word it quite right. I was really looking to see if someone has done this successfully. As the PowerBOX has its specs, but falls very short of fulfilling them, just didn't want the same to happen here. Hunter over at ISPSupplies.com put it on their bench and ...

theWISP

Thanks for the Reply!

Hunter over at ISPSupplies.com put it on their bench and tried it out for me, "I replicated this set up and the gap is tight but do-able".

Cheers!

Hey all!

Anybody mount a NetMetal5 on a ubnt amo-5g13 using the rfelements 912 bracket? Is there enough clearance to leave the metal cover on?

We've done this with base boxes, but not a NetMetal.

theWISP

Hey All, We are designing a new segment of our services, which includes managing the clients residential AP. Any thoughts if we can power a Dynadish 5 via the poe-out port of the hAP ac lite tower? This would eliminate the injector and allow us to watchdog/script or manually reboot the CPE from the ...

theWISP

Hello fellow WISPers, We have a scenario that we have been hashing out the engineering of, and we thought would be good to get the communities thoughts. Please see the attached diagram for reference (I understand its simplicity, please forgive). The example diagram is not our specific setup, but is ...

Hello!! Please lend my a hand. I had a RB911UAG-5HPnD installed on a tower at 300ft. The licence was upgraded to lvl4. We were expeirencing an issue that we wanted to see if a downgrade would resolve. We went from 6.25 to 5.22, the soft-ID changed and the licence was invalid. So I immediatly when ba...

theWISP

So, this thread should have been labeled as a feature request? I think we've all been reading it as a design help or tech help request. I see how that could be seen that way. However, I am looking to see if anyone has found a piece of hardware (mikrotik or not) that they use to run POE and routerOS...

theWISP

Thanks, But thats what we already have. I want routerOS with POE out on mulitple ports that is actually carrier grade, NOT the 750UP.

theWISP

Thanks, those look great! However, I need be able to route with OSPF and I really dont want to introduce a different OS for routing into our network. Well, as long as the new device is just acting as a switch, it wouldn't have any impact on your OSPF. (assuming it doesn't cause packet loss or drop ...

theWISP

Tried looking for something Mikrotik based for this for a project last year but in the end I had to use Netonix switches to replace the Toughswitches. So far so good. Thanks, those look great! However, I need be able to route with OSPF and I really dont want to introduce a different OS for routing ...

theWISP

Thanks PaulsMT, But it does not. Have replicated this with many devices and multiple PowerBOXs. As the powerbox starts to power port 1, then port 2, etc, as it reaches port 4, port 1 will brown out, then port 5 will power and another random port will brown out, and then this creates a constant cycle...

theWISP

Thanks, but yes. The specs simply can not power 5 POE devices, it does not have enough WATT output to do so. Its a real gimmick. Try connecting 4 sxt's up to it, they will brown out and reboot in cycles, and thats with just 10ft of cable between them.

theWISP

Hey Folks (wispwest), Found your thread searching for the same issue. 6.34, QRT5 on both sides with a link of about 500ft. (and yes, the power was/is turned down to 8db) The link would only associate in NV2, but with only 50Mbs throughput. Downgraded to 6.25 and then saw this in the wireless logs: w...

theWISP

Hey Folks,

We are looking for a device to replace our UBNT Toughswitch Pros that can run routerOS. Anybody seen anything out there?

We have used the RB750UP, but with VERY limited success, especially when powering more than just a couple of POE devices.

Look forward to any responses!

UPDATE:: On the bench this DID work when adding a BaseBox2 and a BaseBox5, but when adding a third device (METAL-9hpn), it would brown out and reboot all of the devices, which is actually odd given the POE priorities should have just that 3rd device fail. Again, the above is with 290ft of cat5 betwe...

Thanks to wiltshra , http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... ox#p475822, I found this solution.

Thanks for the replies. Our secondary provider is not willing to facilitate bgp, hence the dilemma. So we have settled for NATing in cases of emergency.

Thanks guys, this was also a problem with my scripts. I did not see this in the change log, or at least it didnt catch my eye that it pertained to us.

Hey Folks, Any help would be appreciated. We currently have a script that uploads the most recent backup of our routeros devices to an offsite ftp location weekly. The problem is all of our ptp devices have an identity consisting of a "/". This breaks the ftp script, and really is bad practice anyho...

theWISP

Please look at the previous posts. This problem is still occurring with our equipment. There is plenty of God information to answer your questions. I also have an unresolved support ticket opened on this subject.

theWISP

Im going to try to reach out to Mikrotik for an agreement, look for a fundraiser in the forums shortly.

theWISP

We would pitch in for a fund to progress Dude Development. Could we get a guarantee of development at a certain level of funding? We would be willing to run the fund as well. Any thoughts Normis?

In versions 6.5 and 6.6 using the Log parser script as posted on the wiki http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Log_Parser_-_Event_Trigger_Script no longer works.

No solution, the 'ticket' is a joke. its just being used to keep the problem off of the forum. They keep asking question ive already answered and giving me nothing to try. they asked if i had a unit to send them, i replied yes multiple times but with no response. I believe it can be safely assumed t...

theWISP

Normis, sorry I didnt see your posts on here. To your questions, I have 2 of them, both with the same issue, both had the issue out of the box. NV2 resolves the problem. Users, if your clients are all mikrotik, nv2 will resolve the problem. I am not that fortunate. I can ship you a defective unit, I...

theWISP

The S simply means it is currently a slave port in a bridge.

This is new in v6, if that coincides with your problem, then try downgrading to a v5 version.

NOTE: I downgraded a metal from 6.0rc11 to 5.1 and it never came back and I no longer have access to it.

theWISP

Yes, similar. And the clients are disconnecting in groups simultaneously. Mikrtotik clients stay connected the longest.

I am climbing here in an hour or so to replace it (I downgraded from 6.0rc11 to 5.1 and it never came back).

theWISP

Mikrotik? Can you please advise, I have submitted a support ticket with no response. I find it so odd how Mikrotik has avoided extending their support services to the same level that other vendors have (well just about all companies have). We have real businesses relying on this stuff. Please advise.

theWISP

Downgraded 6.0rc11 to 5.1 remotely, and grove never came back......

theWISP

Any updates out there? Did anyone get a fix for this? I am in dire need of a fix!
