Running 6.38.5 on hAP Lite. Have hotspot setup using RADIUS authentication. Works great. Using freeRADIUS 2.2.6. I have COA configured. It sends packet to hAP. if I send User-Name, NAS-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Address the hAP replies with Disconnect-NAK, Error-Cause = 406. It does the disconnect, even ...

Exactly!

That is nice. Thanks for the link.

Don't need the ports of the 2011. In some situations we don't need any Ethernet, just a 2.4GHz radio and SFP. Others, 1 Ethernet, 1 SFP and 1 radio.

On all of these, mPCI is preferable to onboard radio.

nwn

We are looking for something like an RB411AH or an RB911 with an SFP cage instead of or in addition to Ethernet port. Looking to be able to do fiber to the radio in backhaul applications and or fiber to the home with WiFi in the house.

Any such items in the Mikrotik desing queue?

Thank you

I am trying to create a store for a Web Proxy in ROS v6.7. If I use the command /store add name=web-proxy disk=sata2 it prompts for type: as expected. If I hit ? there are no choices listed. I have entered add name=web-proxy type=web-proxy disk=sata2 and it returns the error input does not match any...

Create device type. Put only the tools you want in the type. Make all your devices that type.

I think we figured this out today. If we setup a board as the AP with 10 MHz channels all is fine. If we then change to 20MHz channels or one of the variants, but the channel originally selected is not supported in this mode, funny things happen. We may need to do some more testing, but setting up 5...

nwn

Thank you.
That seems to have fixed it.

I am trying to get the IPv6 addresses from routers running ROS 5.26.
When I use
/ipv6/address/getall
I get the IPv5 addresses.
Can the API get IPv6 addresses? Is so, what is the syntax?

nwn

No hidden SSIDs.

nwn

I have had several instances where RB911 scan will show not AP to connect to. If I change to Snooper, I see lots of active channels, but no MAC Address nor SSID. I know there are SSIDs out there because after a while in operational mode, the unit will connect to the AP with the pre-configured SSID. ...

From the posts I found in a search, I should be able to upgrade from 3.30 to 5.4 without issue as long as the license is appropriate.
Has anyone done a single step upgrade? If so, what issues did you have?
Or, has everyone done a 4.x (4.17?) then 5.4 upgrade?

nwn

I have never put anything in IP Services as the defaults work for every unit I have ever installed.

nwn

Physically connecting to a port with WinBox is as easy as plugging in the wire and clicking on the 3 dots (...) next to the address. WinBox will show the MAC address and IP address assigned to the port. Click on it and connect. In general for networking, you don't "connect to a port", you ...

nwn

Are you wanting a routed network or a bridged network? Different settings for the 2 ways.

nwn

You might try turning down the power on the radios. See what happens if you get down to a -65 signal. You may be overdriving the first stage of the receiver. What is the bandwidth test tool? If it is external, do you have a 100mbs connection or a 10mbs? If the cable can only do 10, that is all the t...

Does RouterOS support the requirements of RFC3871 section 2.5.4 that requires the ability to specify a source address on all traffic originating on the device?

nwn

I have not been able to find an SNMP counter for the number of clients associated to an AP. Does it exist? If so, what is it?

nwn

If you log in with a terminal and enter
int wire reg pr oid
it will show you the OIDs for the registered wireless devices. I think you want 2,
1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.8.mac address of card in decimal.card#
1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.9.mac address of card in decimal.card#

Console is a problem as customers are down and the routers are at towers, but as I said, I can MAC telnet in. So getting in isn't a problem. I will try to check traffic next time it occurs. This has occurred on multiple routers at about the same time. The routers are not located such that any one cu...

nwn

I could not log in via IP from my computer or from several RB routers.

nwn

Every couple of weeks one or more of my RB333s running 3.11 will quit passing IP traffic. When it does, I can still MAC telnet in, but can not do anything via IP. This morning the offending unit had nothing in the log. When I tried to ping from it I got the following: [admin@RouterName] > ping 10.0....

Now that I added Public Host:443 and private address:443 to Walled Garden, it is working.

I hope all of this helps someone else.

nwn

OK, I figured out the first part. It is supposed to go to the UserManager page, so I had to put the Public Host address in the Walled Garden. That makes sense, I guess. Now I have to figure out why I can't log in to User Manager with the ID I just created.

nwn

I just reconfigured the entire router. Same thing. When it comes back from a successful Authorize payment it tries to go to the Public Host address, user page (xx.xx.xx.xx/user) instead of the HotSpot login. Why does it go to the wrong page? If I tell the browser to hit another site, it gives me the...

nwn

The UserManager Wiki pages have help with doing this.
There is a "wizard" in the HotSpot area if you are using WinBox. It will do 90% of the setup for you.

nwn

I have setup HotSpot and User Manager on the same router (ROS3.7) When I create a new user, I get to the Authorize.net page, make my payment and all is well. When the payment is complete I get the "Return to User Manager" button. Click on that and it does take me to the User Manager login ...

nwn

Yes, I have turned it on and I thought the other system did not work. Based on your experience, I will have to try it again.

nwn

Thank you for the reply, but that is not what I asked.
I have another system that will not work if I turn on the MD5 hash in Authorize. I need to be able to use the Hotspot without turning on the MD5 hash in Authorize. How do I do that?

nwn

Is there any way to get UserManager to use Authorize.net without having to set MD5? I have been using a billing system for several years that works great, but does not need the MD5 key. I don't know of a way to set the billing system to use MD5 and the Authorize.net support people said you can not d...

I found it this morning. The OID is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.3.8.0 It displays as a 3 digit integer, so you have to divide by 10 to get the voltage. I have a probe setup on it that watches for it to go < 25. For my configuration, that means battery power, so now I can be alerted when it goes to battery.

nwn

Yes,
Get the OID, put it in the function OID() and then multiply by -1
i.e.,
OID(your OID) * -1

nwn

In the newsletter I received from MT today was a story that said the fan voltage can be read in SNMP. I did an SNMP walk to the 333 I have running, but did not see the voltage.
What is the OID of the fan voltage?

nwn

I have created 2 data sources to monitor signal strength. I need to change them, but can not find a place to do that. How do I edit user made data sources?

*EDIT*
I found it quite by accident by right clicking on Charts and select Open Separately.

nwn

Found my own answer.

Renewal requires that at least one credit have a renewal price set. Did that and all is fine.

nwn

I don't think it is really a second user issue. If I log in to UserMan as the admin, the only selection for the user is "No Credits Available." Well, that is true, the user has used all the credits. But they want to buy more. How? The scenario is I want to put a hotspot and the youth ball ...

nwn

Making progress, but still some issues.

I have the user page working for one user. But my second test user gets and error: "Error! No credits available for purchase."

Any suggestions for what I need to look at? I hope it isn't that you have to have open credit to renew.

nwn

Thanks. I should have tried logging in again. That gets me what I was looking for.

nwn

Did the link. All the User page has is the login page.
I need a link that allows them to go to Authorize.net or PayPal to add time to their subscription.
I assume this is available since you can enter an initial value and an add on value in the configuration.

nwn

I think User Manager will work well for some HotSpot applications I am considering. I have run into one thing I can not figure out. Having looked through the Wiki and Forum, I now must ask: How does a user extend their time? If they have an existing UserManager account, how do they pay more for more...

nwn

Bad etiquette to reply to myself, but I did some more digging.
Looks to me like Dude doesn't handle octet strings. The RSSI that I am trying to acquire is a string. Need a function that will take the string and make it a number.

nwn

I just loaded the beta version of the Dude from Mikrotik. Looks much better. Problem is, I can not get it to read single OID from Deliberant DLB2300 radio. It will walk the tree just fine. Gets the right value walking. But when I try to read 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.5.101.1 it always come back as zero. I have...

nwn

I need to subract a constant from and OID value. I have not figured out the syntax. How does one configure Data Source Functions.

nwn

Make sure the addressing is correct. Netmask is important. Can you ping other devices from the MT on that port? Can you ping other devices from the Cisco on the port that goes to the MT? Depending on what ports you are using, you may need a crossover cable instead of a straight through cable. Some e...

nwn

What is your subnet mask and each interface? If you are wanting to route, the interfaces must be on different networks. If you are wanting to bridge, you will need to setup a bridge between the interfaces and the bridge gets an address.

nwn

, it will be an online service. maybe this will change over time, it will depend on what the users say and on what is possible to make. Is there a cost for the service? If not, will there be in the future? I don't want to setup a HotSpot using the manager and then find out there is a cost in the fu...

nwn

Maybe the answer is already here and I missed it, and it seems like it should be so simple, but I have not been able to get this to work.

What are the configuration steps to setup an MT router as the L2TP server so I can connect via the WinXP client no matter where I am? What are the WinXP steps?

nwn

That took care of it. Thank you.

nwn

Yes it is a SonicWall and I added the user subnets but not my admin subnet. I will try that tonight.

Thanks for the help

Changed to long-wire and went back to 100M. Appears to be working. Dropped 7 of 806 packets.

nwn

I will do that this afternoon when I get back to the office.
Thanks

nwn

I saw that setting, did not try it as when I looked in the book it referenced a specific card. I may give it a try before the one tower goes live. I will post results here when I try it.

nwn

I found a solution. Setting the ports that have the long cables to 10M instead of letting them go to 100M seems to have solved the problem. Not a big deal right now, but at some point I may want the 100M, so I hope MT addresses the problem of long cable at 100M.

I have 2 RB230s that seem to exhibit the same thing. If the ethernet cable is over 200' (or something like that) they get link but do not communicate. I have a TrangoLink10 at 265' on a tower. I can ping it with my laptop and get better than 99% return. If I connect it to the router, I get about 20%...

nwn

This has been touched on, but I did not see a definitive answer. Will the RouterBoard 230 support USB communication to APC UPS devices?

nwn

Not to mention I need to route inside my LAN and do not need to masquerade those addresses. I would really like to be able to use Mikrotik for all routing, not just where I need to masquearade.

nwn

Thanks Andres. I had forgotten about using the LMHOSTS file. :) I have looked and do not see how to setup the router to pass the traffic. I agree, in a production environment I would not consider this a good idea. But in my lab, I really would like to get it set up, rather than us one of the other m...

I have 2.8 running in a lab environment. I finally got it working after figuring out the masquerading thing. Wish it did not require that, but that is addressed in aniother thread. My question is, do I need to do something to get NetBIOS traffic to go through the router, other than bridge. I want to...
