nadeu, thanks for taking the time to run some tests to verify my results. I'm not sure how I didn't see your post before I posted my last findings. Sorry for overlooking your reply. You didn't exactly specify in your results, but I'm assuming that when you ran your TX test that got 44.4 Mbps (99% of...

Well I tested with an RB1200 and Btest didn't glitch out like it does on the CCR1009, but that is probably because the RB1200 couldn't send or receive more than 250 Mbit without maxing out its CPU. Here are the results: Btest on a RB1200 connecting to a CCR1009 -Send test: ~250 Mbit throughput, RB12...

earljack

Any chance on getting some verification that this Btest glitch is being caused by a software bug or issue with the CCR1009? My only guess at this point is that the code for Btest was written before gigabit Ethernet was invented and the software just isn't capable of generating over 400 Mbit of traff...

earljack

Ok guys, I think I made some progress in testing this out and have potentially found the problem. However, first let me start off by asking a question about the new Traffic Generator tool. Is this something that only tests via UDP connections? Tonight was the first time I had used it, so I am quite ...

earljack

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll try the new Traffic Generator. I'm glad to see there is a next generation tool like that built into ROS. Thanks for putting it in v6. That's awesome! However, what still puzzles me is the fact that I am getting such low Btest speeds when I can do a similar test ...

earljack

So I was testing my RB1009-8G-1S-1S+ and RB1009-8G-1S-1S+PC tonight and added IP addresses to both eth1 interfaces, plugged in Gigabit Ethernet cable and ran a Btest. Surprisingly I get Btests that start out at 350-450 Mbit (I was expecting more actually), but then it gradually drops down to 40-70 M...

earljack

CPU reduction shouldn't matter to me. The CCR1009-8G-1S-1S I have is an absolute beast from hell. It's CPU changes between 0 and 2% during peak network times. It's like it's laughing at everything I throw at it. I love it! It replaced an RB1200 that had its CPU average around 25-35% during peak time...

Just realized I forgot to update my post after I solved my issue, so no reply is necessary. For anyone with a similar problem of RIP adding rogue routes for an entire class A then the solution would be to manually set your RIP version to v2 for all routers running ROS v5 or later. I guess at some po...

earljack

Is that typical behavior for RIPv1? If so then I don't see how RIP ever even made it to v1 with behavior like that. That seems like behavior for RIPv0.1 alpha 1 haha. I can try forcing all routers running RIP to v2, but as I said in a previous post, RIP works fine between ROS 3.30 routers that I hav...

earljack

DHCP lease info is usually displayed in the log by default. Have you taken a look there? Perhaps you can turn on debugging for DHCP in the log and get a bit more info there. Only other thing I can think of off hand that might be limiting the clients is if you have your Max Station Count set really l...

earljack

I just added an address of 1.2.3.4/29 at a v3.30 router at the edge of my network and it propagated to another 3.30 router directly connected to it just fine, and from that went to a 5.6 router fine and went through that to a 5.26 router and ended up with RIP entries of 1.2.3.0/29 and 1.0.0.0/8 on t...

earljack

Ok after some further testing this seems to be a bug. Mind you I've only tested this for about a half hour, so if someone could verify this I would appreciate it. You can easily reproduce it on 6.19. Try adding the folowing IP/netmask combinations and you get some weird (an potentially network break...

earljack

I'm running 6.19 on an RB/1200 at a tower (let's call it site Omega) several hops away from our main tower (let's call it site Alpha) where our internet connection comes in. Last week we had a new internet line installed at site Omega to provide redundancy for the network and to provide more speed, ...

earljack

I can confirm this issue. I have a METAL that disconnects all clients, and has it's wlan interface completely stop working. A scan wont even show any other APs. I have another METAL at the same site and it doesn't have these issues. My METAL with the problem has this issue 5 or 6 times a day. I have...

earljack

No I understand what the limit-at and max-limit settings do. I want my max-limit for both queues to be 10 Mbit. queue1 (priority 1) has no limit-at because I want it to have access to the 10 Mbit at all times, but queue2 (priority 8 ) has its limit-at set to 100 Kbit because I don't want it taking u...

earljack

After doing some more testing I have determined that Queue Trees in RouterOS are unreliable when there are only a few connections. Queue Trees only seem to be effective on a large number of connections. My previous configuration (or a slight variation of it) works when I set the routerboards to have...

earljack

I set my max-limit for all queues in my first example to 10 Mbit. I want everyone on the AP to be able to get 10 Mbit if it is available. If queue1 has traffic flowing through it I want it to have priority and get 10 Mbit before queue2. If I reduce the max-limit for queue2 then it won't ever be able...

earljack

I have an AP in my in my WISP that is only able to get 10 Mbit through to the internet because of a poor quality backhaul at another site several links down the line. I have a customer on this AP that I'm trying to get the fastest speed possible to. He complains when he can't get 8-10 Mbit and I've ...

I am trying to get my employer to purchase MikroTik stuff and we are a Cisco shop. We would have never even considered them if it were not for the dude. I guarantee they would grow their user base much quicker if The Dude was treated as important. Like Lebowski, the Dude is also the only reason I e...

I am using a script that acts as a ping watchdog to ping different gateways. It does various things to check the health of the gateway, but's unnecessary to go into too much detail as the script is somewhat complicated. However, I am having one issue that kind of annoys me about it. When checking th...

The new SMB feature is much appreciated. Finally, I can easily setup a file sharing server anywhere I have ROS. And let me tell you, I have ROS EVERYWHERE, so this is great! A million thanks! However, I am not able to actually get it fully and reliably working yet. I am currently faced with the foll...

If the 750UP is powered through PoE with the 24V 2.5A adapter that comes with it how much can it output per port? Is it still the 24V@500ma per port? I am wanting to put it on a tower to power 3 Ubiquiti Rockets. If power is run through about 150ft of ethernet cable will there be enough power leftov...

earljack

Please put the port column back in Torch. The way it is now both src and dst port columns have been merged with their respective IP address columns. This is most clearly a step back and offers no advantage whatsoever over the previous version. We have lost the ability to sort by port numbers! In the...

I have had the same issue with the ACK bug ever since v3. If a device goes down and you acknowledge it, then it comes back up, then it goes down again it will show acknowledged as soon as it goes down. It should show red whenever a device goes from up to down even if you have previously acknowledged...

I had a RB150 that I used for a couple of years that ran ROS v3.13. I used this little RouterBoard primarly as a firewall to automatically catch and block spam, deny certain types of traffic, and use it as a transparent proxy in combination with address lists and NAT redirect to cut off past due cus...

So you post another complete offtopic post, and act surprised that your posts get deleted? How is this related to the original question or the discussion? Is this directed at me? If so, see below, if not, nevermind. No no. I think you might have misunderstood my post. Maybe read it again. I thought...

The RB1100 has been unavailable for some time now with no real word from MikroTik and ever shifting re-stock dates. There was another thread here the other day about the lack of RB1100 units throughout Europe and I wrote a post in it about how the way that MikroTik have handled the migration from t...

I downgraded from ROS 4.5 to 4.0, and after the downgrade the 450G was not reachable even by ping. I used Winbox to login via MAC address and found that ether1 was disabled along with its corresponding IP and its entry in my bridge table was removed. I simply added those settings back in, but now th...

My whole problem was I had "where" after "find". I have corrected my code to the following:

It works! Thanks for your help! Great example. Now off to learn some more scripting...

I'm sure someone can answer this question very easily. I'm embarrassed to have to ask it, but I don't know the intricacies of the console like I should. I'm trying to change a value of an item's property. For example In the address-list I would like to change the address list that 192.168.1.1 belong...

No devs have anything to say about this? Surely this bug isn't going to be allowed to slip through the cracks?!?!

I am having this exact same problem too. I thought it might be because my devices in my backup file from 2.X got corrupted in transition to 3.X, but I have created new devices and confirm that this behavior is universal to all devices in the program. I have been patiently waiting for a fix since the...

No actually I don't use torch to monitor my network all the time. I only use it a couple times a week to see realtime data flow or when there is some suspicious activity on my network that I need to track down quickly. I actually have an ntop server on my network that gets its flows from an RB150. T...

Seems that no one understands what I'm trying to do here. Do I need to explain a little more? Or maybe there aren't that many people familiar with the new PCC setup. Surely someone understands what I'm talking about... Anyone? All I'm wanting to do is make a few interfaces part of individual VLANs s...

I have been testing out the new PCC load balancing on a couple of DSL circuits that I have and everything is working great. However, I plan on adding more WAN links to this PCC load balancing router and I thought it might get a little confusing when Torching the LAN interface. To alleviate this conf...

Thanks for the tip! I had seen dropdowns in other parts of WinBox, but they had not given me the sorting capability that I was looking for in certain cases. I had never clicked on that one as I was so used to ignoring the others. However, in this case that kind of sorting is perfect. The only other ...

Your suggestion worked like a charm. I used "station psuedobridge". It was not available on the stock 2.9 firmware, but I got it upgraded to 3.20 and found it. Is "station psuedobridge" some proprietary MikroTik solution to overcome the 802.11 limitation of station bridging? Or i...
