Unless this https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=77898&start=150#p546841 post has been invalidated. It will be in V7. We all know that. But there is no indication whatsoever there will ever be a V7. So that is useless info. People are waiting for something they can use, don't want...

I am requesting this as a feature of the switches. If it has been asked already, I did not see it when I searched.

tierpath

I have heard that it is very hard to work on, and nobody likes it for that. But OpenVPN UDP support has been made in v7.

OMG. I feel the fires of hell.

tierpath

Right now I have had to use MTIK boxes to create TCP OpenVPN Tunnels to a PFSense box at the HQ for a network because I could not find a suitable router that would run PFSense in a small package for the price point MTik offers. You can always try OpenWrt. It works great. Can I buy a router with it ...

tierpath

So MikroTik developers were able to add partial OpenVPN support and for some reason aren't able/willing/whatever to add the rest. And your proposed solution is to take some kind of multiprotocol server, which looks like it does everything that their PPP package does and twice more and just stick it...

Mikrotik Dev's & Normis. We have all been requesting UDP & LZO for OpenVPN. I am now changing my request to something that would offer more functionality. I request that you implement SoftEtherVPN which has OpenVPN Built-in. https://www.softether.org/ It also offers other VPN options. It see...

on next dhcp lease update they should receive updated parameter list. Isn't it?

It requires the DHCP Server to send packets to the DNS Server which is specified in pool options along with domain so it updates the domain. If it does it and the option is somewhere please point me to it.

tierpath

Just my .02.. If its a branch office, use DHCP relay to AD, then it will update.

I could easily do that as a work around, but im asking for this to be a feature as I do not like work arounds.

tierpath

It would be great to have the DHCP Server update a DNS server Specified in the DHCP Server config. This is especially handy for Active Directory and resolving branch office computer and device names. Here is a guide I wrote a while back for OpenBSD, I was using BIND as the DNS, but It can easily be ...

I just bought 6 of the 1MW GB AP's for a customer to replace Netopia 3347's[..]
May I ask which hardware/model exactly ?

RB951G-2HND

tierpath

Like I said, there are problems. It is impossible to predict how long it will take to solve them Given how compact ROS is, a static binary is probably the best bet. I hate that it has taken MT this long to acknowledge that it is needed, but I am happy that you guys are working on it. I just bought ...

tierpath

MikroTik,
can you give us a reply as to if your contemplating this as and alternative or not?

tierpath

Mikrotik will not implement this. I asked 5 years ago. They give a reason of openvpn being hard to develop, bad coding ang so forth, yet UBIQ has implemented it and PfSense has as well. Mikrotik has nice features and neat stuff. Except for UDP Openvpn with compression. They give and excuse that it'...

tierpath

With all the moans and groans over OpenVPN on these forums, and what appears to be little further development of the features included within RouterOS, I came across this today and wondered if it might be a viable alternative?

https://www.softether.org/

Now this would be a beauty!

Good luck with that request.

tierpath

BWHAAHAHAAHA!

Man, I am laughing my ass off.
It's amazing if you think about it, that some of these worked at all. But they did at some point!

The Toilet and the Bug/paint smattered pic's are the funniest.

tierpath

Hehehe... guess he wanted to try his luck!

For short towers we typically use Comscope 5NF4, for taller sites, or where more normal grounding is required, Belden 7919A is used with shield clamps every 75'.

What kind of shield clamp, btw, thanks for this info, it's very helpful.

tierpath

If you look at the enclosure I posted, you'll see the 2 LSXL-MEs and the Citel. The MJ8 is grounded to a lug which is passed through to the enclosure. The LSXLs pass thru and the enclosure paint is stripped on the inside, and penetrox is applied on both sides of the o-ring, thus ensuring decent amp...

tierpath

OT, but, I wonder is 2T2R+NStreme Dual Possible with 802.11n, maybe 600Mbps?

tierpath

hey rod, i posted a reply to a diff thread you posted in. Can you send me pics and details of the grounding setup you use?

amirm@tierpath.com

tierpath

this is disturbing. Mikrotik likes to strip out features of protocols, so this might be the case with this as is with L2TP IP-SEC and OpenVPN UDP. But in the instances that it's not, can you post a screenshot or config dump of the bridge and each interface that is in the bridge. Also, the other CF o...

tierpath

I was actually hoping you had already done it and had pics to share.

tierpath

Polyphaser, transtector, or citel.

tierpath

Are you running the power too low - boards will overheat if the amps are out of wack. Also - is your grounding really really good? I had a lot of problems on my towers until I realised the grounding at the power poles was not handling the load and my hardware was taking the hit. I regrounded the ut...

tierpath

matt & fibrewire, can you both e-mail me pictures of your grounding setups on towers, and inside your enclosures.

amirm@tierpath.com

tierpath

Right, now that 802.11n is out of the way.... How about the RB616 ? 802.11n is nice, but what I really need is the RB616 with higher CPU speed, a little more RAM (or dimm slot) and really good layout so I can run R5H's in all 6 slots. Imagine having an RB616 as a Distribution node. 200mbit 802.11n ...

tierpath

I was wondering ilinwireless, if your towers have taken direct lightning hits?

tierpath

Might wanna make sure you ground it and use lightning protection considering your location.

tierpath

The delay in this is caused by us trying to achieve great compatibility

Does the mean EMP-9701??? If so, then i don't mind.

tierpath

At least they are working on it!
better than not working on it!

tierpath

Anyone has experience on NMP-8602 plus (400mw) used as hotspot?

We used a few units of NMP-8602 (200mw) as mesh hotspot and they have worked without any problem.

Using 2 of these 1 in each a seperate unit of a WRAP.2C board and each AP is working fine at 2.4ghz

tierpath

Firetides Use Adhoc and 5ghz range, maybe if you posted a layout it would help, just having the router config doesn't do much when your talking about a problem such as this. Firetides are pretty neat, but they are usually not setup fully meshed as that creates to much traffic, I know this as I have ...

tierpath

did you bridge the wlan network card to the onboard ethernet connected to the switch?

tierpath

v4, hmm, Hopefully it gets n, mimo, and openvpn UDP support, as well as the ipsec support. Then I can sell the hell out of these damn things!

tierpath

nice info, so i do have one question, i have been thinking about how you properly ground the ethernet with poe(wether you do it inside the case or outside or in the building or both) as well as the antenna's and the pc board inside and what guage wire to use, anyone have and setups they have used?

tierpath

gyoztes You can actually one up them on the bandwidth, and equal them in quality if you build the network correctly and carefully. We have been offering 3mbps/256kbps to our residential customers for years with Mikrotik APs and CPEs. jwcn knows first hand the way a well designed (and in this case p...

tierpath

forget the sip client, how about a sip proxy, thats even better.

tierpath

and there is a v4 one as well, having thems stickied, or as and announcment would make it easier for all of us, as I didn't know about the v3 and v4 ones until a few days ago when I saw it in a post by accident.

tierpath

You know I have wondered, how much do those smaller towers sway and also, how does one climb it if at all to mount new equipment?

tierpath

Normis, it would probably be much easier if you linked in and announcement the right links to the feature request page or pages for ROS, so I am requesting it be done.

There it is.

tierpath

I would say MMCX for tower climbers sake, but Me, I wonder, has anyone here tried using what a lot of wireless CPE manufacturers use, c/h glue to glue the ufl connectors on the board?

tierpath

it does put out the 600mw, I use them, but you have to specify 27 in MT and make sure you have it set to manual Tx power and no country set in the country part, and then set to card rates in the tx power table. if your using it at 17db, it's def not outputing the power. The emp's don't need the UBQ ...

tierpath

Unfortunately we have to read the fine print, and the manual. Mikrotiks position on this is They added OpenVPN TCP support because it could get through proxies and firewalls easily, and if we want UDP, use L2TP because their version doesn't utilize the IP-SEC Auth portion, and is UDP only. They are ...
