I have a new RB751U-2HnD and we want to setup the router to use the External Antenna (MMCX) Connector. Under the HT tab we set this to Antenna B but when we are directly in front of the antenna we only get 2 bars on a device. in the manual it says this. RB751U has 3 built-‐in wireless antennas • Ch...

I to would prefer to have an actual switch in front of the router. My issue is that they bought us RB493Gs for a project with the intent of using the switching functionality in them so I had to find a way to make it work and this is what i came up with.

Wyoming

I have found a work around for this on the RB493G which have 2 switch chips. One with 4 ports and one with 5. It does waist 2 ports but it will allow you to access the router locally from an untagged port. In my setup I put a jumper from port 5 to port 6, connecting the two switch chips together thr...

I never understood the level of peoples technical knowledge. You somehow figured out how to transmit a radio thru Routerboards com port, but you can't figure out which devices do you need and if they would work. How come? I have found several devices that will work for what I need, The questions I ...

Wyoming

The Problem is that this is a solar site so we have very limited power and a server or even a cisco router takes a lot more power than a single mikrotik. Also I don't need hardware flow control for these radios. Since no one seems to know if there are any cards out there that will work with ROS, I w...

Wyoming

I need RS232. I have found several Mini PCI cards that have 4 RS232 ports on them but I don't know if ROS will recognize them and be usable. That is what I really need to know. Are there any cards that are known to work with ROS. I have tested it with one serial port and it works as expected so I kn...

Wyoming

Routerboard will have an IP, Say X.X.X.X and that IP will point to a port on the Routerboard Say Serial1. port remote-access add local-address=X.X.X.X port=serial1 Then when you connect to X.X.X.X say through telnet it will send that on to the serial port and you can then communicate with the radio....

Wyoming

We are going to be using it to connect up some radio systems that are serial radios. We need it so we can connect to the serial radios over our High Speed back hauls that are IP based. Basically it will be a multiport serial to ethernet converter.

Wyoming

Does anyone know of any Mini PCI Serial Cards (RS-232) that work with Mikrotik ROS. A multiport version would be best but a single port version would work if that is all that is supported.

Thanks

VRRP uses a Broadcast domain to communicate between the two routers but it doesn't need a VRRP instance for each broadcast domain. You can have many broadcast domains on a single interface.

For my solution I wrote a Perl script that use telnet and ftp.

I am trying to figure out the buffering on the queues. So each queue gets 50 packets before it starts dropping packets. I am trying to make sure that it isn't the entire set of queues assigned to that queue type doesn't get the 50 packet buffer.

Wyoming

I have a quick question. When you build a simple queue you add a queue type to it. Now say that queue type is pfifo with a size of 50 packets. Now lets say you create two simple queue both with the same queue type. My question is does each simple queue get 50 packets each or do they share the 50 pac...

I am running on Version 2.9.6 right now and for some reason all IPs in the IP address list have changed to invalid. The box is still up and running and I am able to get to it. I was just wondering if this was a bug with this version? Does this affect performance in any way?

Thanks

Wyoming

My next problem is I can't find a routing-test package for router boards. Do you know where I can get one? I can't seem to find it on their site.

Thanks

Wyoming

Ok. Then the regular routing package doesn't have it. I will have to update to the Routing test package.

Thanks for you help

Wyoming

Where do you turn that on at? There is no place to turn on redistribute default in the Rip Setting.

Thanks

Wyoming

I can't seem to get RIP to redistribute the Default route to other routers. Does anyone know how to do this. I have it setup in the main Mikrotik and that mikrotik set to redistribute static routes but it will not show up in the other mikrotik.

Thanks

Wyoming

I tried the r option and still nothing. I didn't try a known good RB532 so i will try that when I have a few minutes and see if they show up in my netinstall. At least then I will know if I have a good install of netinstall or not. I have also tried through a switch and without a switch with a cross...

Wyoming

I already did that and the netinstall utility will not see the RB. Sorry if I mislead you on second post. That is what I get when I try to boot regularly. If I try the boot from ethernet I just see it waiting for the server but the server never sees it.

Wyoming

Here is what I get in the console when I try to boot the RB

Loading kernel from nand... OK
setting up elf image... OK
jumping to kernal code
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernal.

Wyoming

I have a RB532 that I was upgrading and it lost power during the upgrade. Now it will not boot and I can't get netinstall to even recognize that the RB is there. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try to get the OS loaded again without losing my licence.

Thanks

Wyoming

For anyone else that needs this I got it figured out.

:set name ($v1 . $v2)

Wyoming

Or if this doesn't work is there any way and can take two variables and add them together.

:local v1 "firstname"
:local v2 "lastname"

:local FN v1+v2

I tried the + and the . and I can't get either of them to work.

Thanks

Wyoming

Can anyone see why this isn't working? I have tried putting () around it and that won't work either. I am out of ideas.

On ours when we received them only the four corner holes where used for mounting the Routerboard. Do these also ground the routerboard? Do you attach a wire to the routerboard and to the case or just to the case and use the mounts to ground the Routerboard?

We have been having a couple RB532s die on us recently. From looking at the RB and the Nema enclosure we are using we don't see any grounding lugs.

I know 32 is for each user. But does it limit them to only ten from their address and 10 to their address or does it limit them to 10 to and from their address?

Wyoming

When we are setting up a connection limit. When we say 10 connections are allowed for a netmask of 32. What address is that based on. Does it limit it to 10 connections for the source address, destination address, or both addresses combined?

Thanks

Wyoming

I was also seeing this with one of my RB532s. To get a stable link on ours we set the other device to 10 full and the link came up stable at 10 full when it was set to auto. If I set the other device to 100 full then the link just bounces over and over again.

if you use the full command you can name the file anything you want.

What is the Model number of the card you tested?

Is there a way to distribute the default route with RIP v2 on the Mikrotiks? I am looking and I can't seem to find anything that will allow me to distribute the default route to the other routers.

There are jumpers on the RB that allow you to select what voltage of POE you use. JP3 & 4 allow you to select between different voltages.

I belive that level 3 licences are ones that were made to take the place of the original Licences. When we first bought Mikrotiks they only had one licence. Since then they have implemented the tiered approch they have now. So if you had a original licence from before they had different levels and t...

Wyoming

I was just looking and if you create users on the mikrotik it gives you the ability to select which profile that user will use. Why is this not supported in radius to allow you to send which profile a user will use? This is exactly what I need but I can't find anything in radius to support this. Tha...

Wyoming

I have found this attribute, Ascend-Client-Gateway, but is shows it is only supported for hotspot users. Is this ever going to be supported for PPP users?

I believe this is what I need but it doesn't appear to be supported.

Thanks

Wyoming

Anyone else have any ideas????

Thanks

Wyoming

I also agree that this is needed. If they have the oids set up to get it from MRTG then the stats are there. It shouldn't be to big of a leap to add them to the interface in winbox.

Wyoming

The only problem is that the local pool attribute changes the client address to use the pool not the local address. I have looked and I have not been able to find any radius attribute that allows you to select which ppp profile to use. If I can find that then all my problems will be solved.

Thanks

Wyoming

Well the problem I am running into is that I have two different local addresses on the same interface. If I leave the local address field blank then it won't work. If I build to servers and set one of the Two IPs in each of them then it will always assign the ip of the last server in the list as the...

Wyoming

Is there a Radius Attribute that sets the local Address in the PPP Profiles. I know there is one for Remote address but I need one to set the gateway address for the Users. Also is there one for DNS server? DNS is not as big of a deal but it would be nice to have.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else seen weird behavior with the interface status. I have been seeing interface that won't display what they are linked at and also some that say they are up at 100 full and they don't have a cable pluged in to them. Just wondering if anyone else has been seeing these issues?

I have totally rewritten the scripts I was using. Then new script seems to be working a lot better then the old on was. I will give it a few days and see how things go with the new one.

Wyoming

I agree that the server should serve the time in UTC but It would be nice if we could get the clock on the Mikrotik to be able to change for daylight savings. That way we don't have to go out to 40 different Mikrotiks and change the timezone from -7 to -6 and -6 to -7 every spring and fall.

Instead of Torch being able to work for just interfaces, it would be nice if you could use it on certain Queues also. This way you could determine what IPs are passing traffic through individual queues.
