Would it be possible to implement the "check gateway" feature for routes added by DHCP?

Keep finding that on ROS 6.40.5 winbox 3.11 I'll goto IP > IPSEC > Peers click on a peer and goto advanced and the lifetime is 00:00:00

I'll change it to a more sensible value and save but at somepoint it seems to get reset to 00:00:00

Am I right in thinking CHR 6.40.5 doesn't support virtio-scsi as a storage device?

It's just done it again with the new PSU, and interestingly the Vlan's it's passing through at L2 appeared to work ok, it looks like the IP on the bridge interface stops responding for some reason as when it happens I can't ping that IP or access winbox.etc using it.

dragon2611

Just a friendly warning, it's very easy to mess up the configuration when getting to grips with the new way Vlans are handled via bridge and it seems if you change the bridge PVID wrongly it's quite possible to get in a state where you can't access the router at all even with mac-telnet, at least it...

dragon2611

There is also a "undo" and "redo" button in winbox.

I'm ashamed to say I'd not noticed that.

dragon2611

Not sure safe mode would have done anything as It was an L2TP I accidentally deleted instead of disabled and I wasn't coming in over that interface so it wouldn't have caused a disconnect

dragon2611

Would it be possible to either have winbox ask when deleting an interface, I have on occasion hit delete instead of disable or have a mode where changes were not made "live" until a commit button was pressed.

This bug only affected CHR speed limitation mechanism. It is not related to non-virtual (real) devices.

dragon2611

Have to say from the pictures it's quite possibly the best looking thing to come out of Mikrotik yet.

However shame about the 10/100 ports, are there any plans to put other RB hardware in this same case design, i.e some of the Gigabit capable stuff?

dragon2611

My proxmox host running the CHR has a Draytek vigornic 132 in bridge mode for modem (It's essentially a vigor 130 on a PCI-E card)

dragon2611

Interesting thanks,

Might have to take a packet capture and then see if the ISP (Or something in the middle) isn't responding correctly.

I tried setting the MTU at 1500 from the ISP end as well but no dice (Yes they actually expose that in their control panel!)

dragon2611

Any reason the CHR wouldn't be able to run a 1500byte PPP MTU providing the physical interface is at least 1508 Bytes as is the Vswitch.etc?

Mine connects at 1500 and then drops to 1480 for some reason.

Had 1500Byte MTU working on the pfSense firewall that I was using previously.

dragon2611

Draytek have just made a Router/VDSL modem on a PCI-E card, but don't know about pricing yet but it can also bridge, if it's NIC driver is supported by routerOS then maybe X86 builds could be done using it if you did want an all in one box.

dragon2611

Without a corresponding interface route it won't work as it won't know which interface to send the packet out of to reach that /32 or /128 /32 /128 should really only be used on PPP links where you can just next hop the interface and in loopbacks for IGP's.etc I have done things with /32's on provid...

dragon2611

I already worked around that issue by making it a /126

dragon2611

A /128 contains 1 IP address what do you propose to put on the other end of the Link?

dragon2611

You are confusing PPP with Ethernet links that only have 2 devices on (which can also be refereed to as a point2point link as there are only 2 possible destinations) in which case a /31 is acceptable to use providing both devices know how to support it.

dragon2611

I thought the advise had since changed regarding the use of such subnet sizes on router2router links.

dragon2611

In this case the other "Router" is actually a proxmox host, due to it being a rented dedicated server and me not having a seperate router onsite. Essentially the Host has an IPv6 address (now a /126) and next-hops the CHR virtual machine. Same for Ipv4 execpt in that case it's RFC1918 space and only...

dragon2611

Since EOIP will soon support encryption it would be nice if this could be combined with support for dynamic IP's where for the local IP could be pulled from the internet and the remote IP could be resolved from an FQDN.

Currently if you enter an FQDN winbox resolves it and adds the IP.

Looks like bitdefender is blocking winbox from RouterOS 6.0 thinking it's a virus.

Useless piece of junk didn't even restore the file when it was told to and was blocking subsequent re downloads of winbox, Since it seems impossible to tell this AV software who's in charge it's now uninstalled.

Yes it does indeed, you could however copy all the VM images to an external device/storage.

We've just tried using L2TP and was able to get ~30mbit/s CPU usage was very high 90 - 100% so I doubt it's possible to get much more, that and there's only another 2-3Mbit/s I could possibly pull above that anyway before I run out of bandwidth on my DSL's

dragon2611

I've been testing an OVPN based bonding solution that a friend of mine's been working on. We're using a Linux server his end and a rb751 at my end. We seem to have gotten it working pretty well in terms of handling a link failure.etc but the problem I'm now having is I can't pull more than 20Mbit/s ...

I was adding an Ovpn client interface when I lost connection.

It looks like watchdog rebooted the router, have raised a ticket with the autosupout.rif attached in the hope it will help MT track down the problem.

dragon2611

Nope no proxy enabled

Has a couple VPN tunnels and usually 5 - 10 wifi clients

Can't think of much that needs to be written to flash

Hi Normis, I couldn't get a sup-out as I got kicked out of winbox before I could run one, watchdog was disabled so it wouldn't have run one and in the end had to give up and powercycle the RB. However I did manage to screencap this before It threw me out. Edit: Turned watchdog back on (I had turned ...

dragon2611

Thanks I'll try that next time it happens (providing I can actually login to the RB of course)

I'm wondering if it's related to this http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=47655 as I do use SNMP from a Cacti server to graph my bandwidth usage over time.

Running 5.8 but also had it on 5.7

dragon2611

I seem to have a problem with my RB751-U-2nHD where it will spike to 100% CPU usage and sit there for several minutes making it almost totally unresponsive, if watchdog is enabled it will then eventually reboot itself. I do have an SSTP tunnel established, however I don't think it's encryption causi...

there is a known problem with DHCP server. It will be resovled in RouterOS 5.8 Hi Janisk, I don't think this is just the DHCP server though as some of the VLans had an external DHCP server and still had no DHCP :( Edit: Forgot the DHCP relay is being used for those other vlans, Is this bug specific...

dragon2611

Hi All, Upgraded an RB450G from 5.5 and 5.7 and it seems the Vlans I had configured on a network bridge (2 ports) stopped working correctly. Downgraded from 5.7 to 5.6 and traffic on the Vlans started working again. I'm not 100% sure if it's all traffic on the Vlan or just broadcast traffic as none ...

Does anyone know if the realtek RTL8100CL ethernet controller chip is supported in RouterOS X86? Reason I ask is I've seen a ADSL2+ PCI card that handles the DSL related stuff on the card itself and then presents itself to the host OS as a RTL8100CL based Ethernet controller. Currently run my Router...

Ok seems to be working at the moment with the route set to use the interface rather than an IP address. The only problem i'm having currently is I can't ping my 2nd Interface from the internet when the primary Interface is also online. I think it's trying to reply via the other ISP :-/ Edit: fixed i...

dragon2611

Oh right.

I'd have thought referencing the numeric ID for the rule would be a lot less resource intensive than searching for a comment.

The only reason I can presume they disallow this is in case rules get re-orderd?

dragon2611

I have a couple of scripts that's triggered by netwatch that quite simply turns on a mangle rule to tag packets to take a different route if one of my Wan connections drops. The ones "BEup" and "BEdown" function as expected , the other 2 do not seem to actually do anything when run regardless of if ...

dragon2611

Check "/ip hotspot host". Compare the "address" value to the "to-address" value. Are they the same? This is the hotspot 1:1 NAT feature. Ah yes thanks just spotted that actually, why it would 1:1 NAT to an IP in the same subnet seems a bit silly, is it a feature of Hotspot or a misconfiguration on ...

dragon2611

hmm Upgraded to 5.2 and now it's showing 192.168.0.3 for the same client.

Although I think I now know why

if I look in hosts under hotspot it shows 192.168.0.8 bound to 192.168.0.3

dragon2611

Will update to Version 5.2 shortly and retest but noticed this bug in 5.0 Connected a friends laptop to my guest network in order to download some updates onto it, went to the router's IP address after authenticating and got the status screen The status screen shows Welcome Guest1 IP 192.168.0.9 etc...

Not sure if it's my pc or not (It worked on RouterOS v4.16) but if I click on an active host in hotspot to bring up it's details and then hit the "make binding" button it will cause winbox to crash. Tried downloading the version of winbox from the router to make sure I had the correct version and it...

dragon2611

Managed to figure out a work around. It seems the IP doesn't work until there has been some outbound traffic on it, originally my default NAT rules rewrote everything to my first IP so even if I sent a packet from the router with a source IP set to one of the others I think the NAT rule was catching...

dragon2611

so, even without firewall you just add ip address to the interface, that already has an address (same subnet) and you are not able to ping it? Or is there anything else as simple test of adding another address did not yield any ICMP packet failures. I could ping it from the LAN side of the network ...

dragon2611

The issue here is likely routing. Without more info on your setup, I can't give you a certain answer. You can only have one route to a given destination active at any given time, unless the route is for a specific packet/routing mark. Essentially, the IP all have the same default gateway, so only o...

Ended up buying a Licence for L4 X86

I think it was partly due to "I want it now" syndrome.

dragon2611

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:All_about_licenses#What_is_a_Replacement_Key It is a special key which is issued by the Support Team if you accidently lose the license, and the Mikrotik Support decides that it is not directly your fault. It costs 10$ and has the same features as the key that y...

How are you booting the Alix boards? Licenses are tied to the media they are installed on. If you can't swap the drive to a different board you cannot use that board as a spare. Edit: saw you use a CF card. CF card failure still kills you. Edited my previous post some, by the way. I would hope that...

dragon2611

A 450G will do just fine what you're trying to do. I also like buying RouterBOARDs simply because I like buying an entire stack from a vendor as it more or less guarantees compatibility for the next couple of years. That said, the Alix board should also work just peachy and will save you $55 over l...

I have a netgear GS105V2 and it seems to be VERY fussy about what it will talk to at 1Gbit/s although I'm unsure if the one I have was faulty, someone gave it to me but the original Psu was faulty (failing under load). According to the power rating it should work with a 12V 1A psu but when I tried i...

My ISP offers a bonded service where they Bond 2 Adsl2+ lines using ATM layer bonding (G998.1 based I believe) the ISP provided router (Comtrend Nexuslink 5631) handles the DSL (including the bonding), and can be configured to act as an Ethernet > DSL bridge.

Just had a really strange Issue in RouterOS 5 RC7 with multiple IP's on the same interface.

That happens a lot with antivirus software. McAfee does the same thing - by default "prevent worms from mass emailing" is enabled, and telnet isn't a whitelisted process: can't check mail servers via telnet that way. Bit me more than a few times. With avast it actually does look like it's connected...

dragon2611

Think i've figured it out. You're right RouterOS isn't actually allowing the connection through on port 25, infact it seems the PC wasn't even bothering to try and make an SMTP connection to the server. Turns out it was the Antivirus App running on the pc (Avast) looks like its SMTP proxy was either...

Hi all, I've been playing around with router OS v5 on an Alix2D3 and have come across a bit of an odd situation.

giaddr field is set if you have dhcp-relay set up (or something equal is other vendor) in that case, dhcp server sees the request with giaddr set and ignores that because it has nothing to do with something that is not configured to work with. you can just set another dhcp-server to give addresses ...

what is your OS that tries to get the ip address? Basically, if something is able to get IP, there is no reason why other devices could not do the same.

Hi, Until now we use RB450 for ML-PPP with two 16 Megabit ADSL2+ Lines and see no CPU problem at all.
