MikroTik

Hi, I've had my CCR for well over 12 months now, and every time i reboot it reverts to an older config. This has been happening for over 6 months, but it proves difficult trying to remember all the config changes in the last 6 months every time i need to reboot the router. Its happened through all o...

Hi,
im trying to disable jumper reset for security reasons on my CCR1016.
Every time i select disable, the settings dont save.
Anyone have any idea's?

Thanks!!

grescho

Can you post an example?

Regarding the GW been on the same subnet, I was guessing this was an issue.
Would it be a good idea to see if the ISP can change the GW to allow me to route the complete class?
as layer 2 connectivity isn't going to be possible

grescho

Hi, Im guessing this is really simple, but cant get it to work. Please help! I've been given 1 class c Ip Range by my ISP. The Gateway provided by my ISP is: GW:80.121.82.1 Ip Range: 80.121.82.0/24 When I set 80.121.82.2 on port 1 of my Mikrotik, I'm able to ping externally. I have tried a whole mix...

Hi,
Is it possible to create a meta router using v6rc11 on a CCR1016?
if not, will it be available in the future?

no ideas?

I recently Purchased the CCR1016 and upgraded to the latest RC9 I seem to be having issue with packets being queued in both the simple queue and queue tree. -See attached screenshot With the same configuration on v5 packets weren't queued unless they became close to the limit. This is seriously affe...

Hi,
i need to download thedude4beta1, as this is the only version available for RB1000's.
I currently have ver4beta3 installed on my PC, and am unable to connect as it keeps asking me to upgrade/downgrade.
Hence why i need version 4beta1

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers on how to investigate my high cpu usage. I have a x86 board running 5.2. My CPU is 1000Mhz, 2gb RAM PPPOE users = 200 Queues for users. Basic packet queues on my outgoing lines. My CPU usage is hovering around 98% - 100%. I have tried disabling ...

grescho

I would like to connect my mikrotik 5.2 to my VPN service provided by reliablehosting.com. I have tried with pptp and the connection becomes unresponsive, they suggested trying l2tp over ipsec. This is simply to configure on windows or mac, by entering the server address, user, pass and shared secre...

Hi! Been running v5.0rc10 for several months on x86. All is ok, but i can never reboot the device as it hangs permanently. Then I have to take a trip, and manually turn it off and on. Was thinking of upgrading to 5.1 which I read on the change-log should rectify my problems. BUT, i was under the imp...

RadiusManager gets my vote.
Been using it for 2 years without problems. Easy to configure and maintain.
Worth every penny.

grescho

The pppoe message i have receiving is:
<pppoe-user1>:terminating.... - peer not responding

Could I simply increase the timeout for disconnections to see if I can prevent this?
If so Where would I configure this?

grescho

Hi, My main router keeps dropping pppoe connections. I have looked through all the logs and can see no reason for this. Its dropping between 20-80% of the connections and they can be wireless or wired connections. Router: RB493AH v4.5 50 Users. CPU Load Average 50% Could excessive load cause it to d...

Newsleecher is a very good bit of software for windows. Giganews is also one of the largest and most reliable news provder out there. For a reasonable cost.

grescho

I am also following this thread with bated breath... any news? I don't know about others, but I would be happy to pay for this service.

grescho

Any indication in the log why this client was disconnected? Maybe the client computer was the only one that thought it was disconnected. Or the client was logged in through another service. The hotspot is wireless? If so, look for "extensive data loss" associated with the mac address of t...

grescho

I do have one particular client, that was trying to log in, and kept getting disconnected. This appeared about 10 times before the above mentioned error.

Hi my main router running ver 4.5 has become unresponsive two nights running. This router is hosting a hotspot, PPPOE, DHCP and queueing. After checking the logs I have narrowed it down to this: pppoe,ppp,error could not add queue: already have such name (6) this is listed 5 times in succession, the...

Can you explain a little more? I don't understand

grescho

Im not using WDS, wifi1 is set to client and wifi2 is AP and i have bridged them using the bridge command.

Thanks for the tip about your book

grescho

Maybe its me, and maybe this is not possible; but i'm going to ask anyway! Ok i have a wireless hotspot and most of my clients automatically authorize using mac. (this bit is fine :) ) But when I use a bridge(hop) e.g to extend my wireless, the hotspot only ever see's the mac of the bridge, as oppos...

grescho

Yeah sorry. I did mean PCC.
What you are saying about packet mark seems like a good idea. I'll look into that and report on my findings.

What is DSCP?

grescho

Grescho I'm not following you exactly. If you want to prioritize your SIP packets then you'll need to apply a different packet mark and add a new queue for those packets. What do you mean when you say the packet doesn't get routed? Are you using a different routing table? Post up your firewall mang...

grescho

I was hoping to prioritize sip packets using packet mark/connection mark. But as I already use PCQ load balancing feature these tags are used currently by the load balancer. Whenever I try to mark these packets It overwrites the PCQ mark and the packet doesn't get routed. Is there anyway I can prior...

Ok, so here goes with the first example Tested with 3.3 and 4.2 Works fine for outgoing load balancing over two dynamically assigned address.

grescho

Ok, so I've been using PCC for some while now to provide load balancing over multiple connections to the internet. But everyone I speak to seems to use a slightly different varation of this mangle.

grescho

What version of RouterOS are you running? Is connection tracking enabled in the firewall? Is the PPTP helper enabled under the service ports in the IP firewall?

Connection tracking is enabled, pptp is enabled but has no port assigned. and my client is connected through a hotspot wired connection.

grescho

would it matter if both telefonica connections have the same gateway and dynamacally assigned addresses?
he Network/Gateway for the telefonica connections is always 192.168.153.1 and the ip address are two external addresses.

Sorry for all the questions...

Try this mangle set instead: add action=accept chain=prerouting dst-address=1.1.1.1/24 in-interface=ether9 add action=accept chain=prerouting dst-address=2.2.2.2/24 in-interface=ether9 Thanks for the code, and thanks for editing the code for me, but can u explain the above two lines? as i'm not qui...

Its going to be difficult to move the webserver off the phisical hotspot port as it's remotely connected to the router and the access point its connected to is shared by hotspot users. this is why i tried using a vpn to connect to the router, but maybe there was further config i missed. my config is...

If you're breaking the logins due to PCC outbound balancing why not just use the both-addresses option to force connections to continue out the same connection for same IP? If you do it for everything but https aren't you going to need further workarounds to deal with the "uh oh adsl1 is offli...

In the Ubiquity software, I just select bridge mode, and accosiate it with the AP, and everything works ok! - Set the operation mode of the wlan interface to station and make sure it connects. - Create a bridge - Add wlan1 and etherX to the bridge That should do the trick. This is what i've read, b...

grescho

Make a rule to mark HTTPS traffic and redirige it to unique connectivity.

Is this the only solution? and if so, can you explain a bit further and possible give a script example. Whenever i try and make my own rules they never seem to work.

Thank you !!

is it possible to use a transparent proxy server with ppc setup? I'm sure i read somewhere that it isn't possible because the PPC clasifies each connection coming from the proxy as the same, and therefore sends it to the same interface each time.

After reading the WIKI and Forum regarding the PPC load Balancing feature, I don't seem to understand if this can be done with two dynamic internet conecctions.

This seems like a simple configuration. From my understanding you enable mac authication in hotspot server, and then create a user adding the mac address for the username.

if you route over your ap then you still will have the hotspot page come up for every user. if you route and also use nat on your ap then your assumption is correct that every user will have free acces after first user logs on. read up on how to route.
