Re: Configurable (or shorter) negative DNS cache TTL needed

I think that it is possible to configure cache-max-ttl for DNS cache entries in /ip dns. Thanks for your answer, I was aware of that setting, but it alone is not enough. It limits TTL of ALL records. From what I see at the moment, the average TTL of DNS records is about 6 hours. If I set cache-max-...

Configurable (or shorter) negative DNS cache TTL needed

I use DNS cache on v4.1 on RB1000 and it works pretty well most of the time. Unfortunately it also caches negative responses and it gives them 24h TTL. This is bad in case of temporary problems of a DNS domain or a DNS server. The domain is then inaccessible until the negative response expires or DN...

No, actually every os or device can normally work with pap authentication .
PAP is far less secure than CHAP. Using PAP is not a solution.

How to restore interface's default MAC address

Hello, I happen to have duplicate MAC addresses in one network I'm troubleshooting right now, and I suspect people just did 'export' in one device and pasted that into another one. I don't want to invent other MAC addresses nor use locally administered addresses, so please tell me the way to restore...

try also the old Netinstall http://mt.lv/download/netinstall-3.30.zip and if it detects it, reinstall RB750 with the v3.30

if you succeed, send us supout.rif file from v3.30
Done. The email has the same subject as this topic. Thanks.

Did you upgrade the BootLoader first?
Are you joking? This is brand new product, it cannot have old bootloader.

But yes, I also checked that and it has bootloader 2.22. I might have upgraded it after upgrading 3.x -> 4.0rc1.
