Thanks for the reply. I'm interested to know how the ppp serial interface affects upload speeds. The application I am looking at is remote video surveillance access so the 4G upload speed is of interest to me.

ilium007

Sorry to drag this post up but I am looking at a RB912UAG-2HPnD and I am being told that the Sierra MC7304 is unsuitable because it only does ppp and that it needs DirectIP to work with LTE speeds. From what I am reading below the MC7710 can work with DIP ? Can I expect LTE speeds with an MC7710 and...

ilium007

Almost two years on... glad I didnt wait before going back to dd-wrt where simple things work..

ilium007

Because you showed me a single command to set up a default route. When I change the PPP to include the 'Local Address' that you pointed out earlier the RouterOS does not auto create the routes - we have established this. So you said to run a single command that I assume only creates a single default...

ilium007

The IP address here is auto configured via PPP - it is not the static one they assigned me.

ilium007

These are the two route entries that are auto created: http://f.cl.ly/items/3C2G3J1v013m241m3O0I/admin@192.168.10.1%20(RB750G)%20-%20WinBox%20v5.5%20on%20RB750G%20(mipsbe)-1.jpg http://cl.ly/0J203k1y2b0j391U1l1w/Screen_Shot_2011-09-06_at_6.18.59_PM.png http://cl.ly/3W3J3c0T320I0e2a1U1b/Screen_Shot_2...

ilium007

OK - i'll give it a go. There seemed to be two auto created entries when it is set to do it itself.

ilium007

I havent worked out how to do that yet..

ilium007

No - it's not working !

When I add the ppp profile and then add the local IP ( my static ip ) I can not get Internet access because there is no default route being added. However, in this configuration I can connect in to this static ip via ssh.

ilium007

Hi - I created the new profile with the static IP as 'Local Address' and it worked fine for incoming SSH traffic (tested via phone) but I can't get any traffic out of the network with it enabled this way. I have worked out that no default route is being added when I use the profile set up with the l...

ilium007

OK - will do that. I thought that I had configured this static IP address somewhere last time I was with this ISP. Maybe not ! Out of interest - I have had cheaper Linksys routers that also do pppoe but also allow me to specify a static IP address. How does this work if it is PPP that is handing out...

ilium007

Not sure how to explain this any better ! That address (220.244.77.236/32) is being given via DHCP. The ISP has sent a welcome email stating a different static address that I should be using. Each time I configure this (different) static IP address again pppoe-out1 the RB750G changes this static add...

ilium007

I am pretty sure I need to run pppoe (TPG ADSL in Australia) - they have supplied me a pppoe username and password and static IP.

ilium007

Cool - but I am a little confused. How do I now implement my static IP address that my ISP has given me to use ?

ilium007

Hi - something strange is happening here ! I have moved house and went from a static IP on my ADSL connection to a new service also with a static IP. The funny thing is that I can't seem to get the static IP that the ISP gave me to work - whenever I configure it under 'IP/Addresses' in the GUI again...

ilium007

So really all I need is a point to point link over about 200m to avoid digging a massive trench and laying copper. At either end I will have a normal Layer 2 switched network (in re-reading my first post I probably should have been clearer here. The 2-3 cameras will be wired and connect to a PoE swi...

ilium007

So there is no one who can advise me on the merits of the SXT devices as opposed to two 411's /711's with antennas ? This was my first real project using Mikrotik after having used a RB750G here at home. I am also looking into Ubuiquiti gear now given the lack of response here. I am a bit worried as...

ilium007

Hi guys - I am going to get to set up my first Mikrotik wifi link for a friend. Basically we need to set up a number of IP cameras for a small property security project. 2 - 3 of the cameras will be situated away from the main farm house and I will need to get a wifi link to haul the traffic back. T...

ilium007

OK, so going through the logs I found the error was because the NTP server was trying to send SYN packets to the external (public IP) interface of the router but these SYN packets were being dropped. I added the following rule: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/973862/Screen%20shot%202011-02-27%20at%2012.55.3...

ilium007

Hi - I have followed the wiki article: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Time and I have also installed the standalone NTP package. System is running routerOS 4.16. I have verified the NTP servers I an trying to query by running from my OSX machine inside the network: MacBookPro:~ user$ /u...

ilium007

I hope this helps anyone else trying to do this ! So I set up a log and noticed the traffic was not being NAT'd: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/973862/Screen%20shot%202011-02-25%20at%2011.32.54%20AM.png The source IP was still 192.168.10.10 So I set up a simple NAT rule in the ether-1 interface to NAT outg...

ilium007

I have also just done another test; I got a laptop and assigned the ethernet interface 1.1.1.2/24 with no default gateway etc. unplugged the ADSL modem from the RB750G and plugged the laptop direct to the ADSL modem. I could then use a web browser on the laptop to get to 1.1.1.1 Now when I plug it a...

ilium007

OK - no. I am not that much of a noob !! Maybe I should draw the diagram better: ADSL Modem [1.1.1.1/24] --> [1.1.1.2/24] ** RB750G ** [192.168.10.1/24 ]-->Internal Network 192.168.10.0/24 So I have 1.1.1.2/24 assigned to ether1-gateway on the RB750G and 1.1.1.1/24 assigned to the ethernet port on t...

ilium007

Hi - not sure why this won't work. I have a RB750G as a pppoe client behind an ADSL modem in layer 2 bridge mode. Even in this mode I can still assign an ip to the Ethernet interface to view ADSL stats. Internet-----[ADSL MODEM 1.1.1.1/24]----------(RB750G Gateway pppoe 192.168.10.0/24) I have a rou...

ilium007

And besides...the RT-N16 is rubbish compared to the Mikrotik gear.

ilium007

will that work given one of my networks must be 802.11n and the other 802.11g ?

ilium007

Does anyone know if there is a more suitable enclosure to allow hanging off 6 aerials !

ilium007

I don't have the hardware as yet. As soon as I have it I can send you my configs. Happy to do so.

ilium007

@ jtroybailey I just noticed you are in Brisbane as well !! I am at Gordon Park.

ilium007

hmmm - its going to look like Routenstein with 6 aerials hanging off of it !

ilium007

Hi - I have already posted about my intention to run an RB493G with 3 x R52Hn wifi cards at home in order to build 3 networks. One 802.11n (trusted), one 802.11g (trusted) and one 802.11g (untrusted) for friends etc to access but should not be able to get to my internal network etc etc. Anyway, I wa...

ilium007

Or IP addressing But this is my dilema - if I were to use just IP addressing, a savvy operator could manually change their IP address to one on my other network (ie. change his 192.168.11.0/24 address to a 192.168.10.0/24 address) and then bypass the firewall rules. I work for a financial instituti...

ilium007

Ahh ok - that makes sense. So set up firewall rules based on source interface?

ilium007

I don't want to rely on Layer 3 to separate the networks. If someone were to change their IP address to one on the LAN network then they would gain full access. I would rather separate the networks at Layer2 which is why I thought you use VLANs on the same physical switch. Also - was my post not det...

I am starting off with a RB750G however just to get a feel for the platform and capabilities etc. Once I am happy with this as opposed to the pfSense install I have been running I will purchase the 493G with 3 x R52Hn wifi cards.

ilium007

That will be awesome !!

ilium007

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Can you point me to any doco with a full guide to setting up the dynamic ip VPN ?

Cheers

ilium007

Does anyone know if road warrior IPSec VPM support has gotten better in the latest RouterOS releases. The lad time I looked at this was early this year and have continued using low end WRT54GL routers instead.

ilium007

We are looking at Nagios and also Zenoss

ilium007

Great - thanks for that.

Now to work out how to use dynamic IP addresses for IPSec VPN's (or just get a solid OpenVPN install happening) and I will be a happy man.

ilium007

OK cool - thanks.

ilium007

awesome - I can use other monitoring tools such as Nagios I assume. I haven;t looked at the RouterOS SNMP support as yet.

If I can configure ALL options via CLI I will be happy enough.

ilium007

Didn't mean to offend man... just saying...it's a strange name to call a product. Anyway - its not the Windows computers we don't want, it's any form of O/S licensing associated with Microsoft.

Can RouterOS be configured via CLI or web interface ?

ilium007

Also - can someone tell me how to get PM'ing turned on. I read the FAQ's and it says that I can;t PM because of up to 3 issues, not logged on etc etc or a mod has disabled. Not sure why I would be disabled.

Cheers.

ilium007

Hi - Does anyone know if there is a Java based GUI instead of the 'Dude'. We are a 100% Microsoft free organisation and this is one of 2 things holding us back from RouterOS. The other is the inability to find a way to get an IPSec VPN running with dynamic DNS / IP's. Any help appreciated. **EDIT - ...

ilium007

Another vote for Brisbane - i'd be there

ilium007

I have been doing IPSec VPNs to low end devices (Draytek, Billion, Linksys and Netgear) for years with dynamic ips. Why is it so hard for Mikrotik to implement?

ilium007

I have read that page, the examples are much better than I have found anywhere to date. I couple of questions though. Some people have reported issues around SA flushing, is there any fix to this with the later versions of RouterOS ? Also, I think I can see now why people are having issues with dyna...

ilium007

Ha cool - reading that now. Didn't think to look in the old user manual. Just to confirm, does the VPN dial on traffic 'from' or 'to' a specific subnet ?? I definitely have only ever seen a VPN dial on traffic 'to' a specific subnet - at least thats what I need t do here. Thanks again.

ilium007

So - I have read all of those pages, still no MikroTik to MikroTik IPsec example from the CLI. Also, my plan is to have configs for up to 50 VPN's but only dial on demand. Most other routers I have dealt with will only connect the VPN when they receive traffic for a particular subnet on an interface...

ilium007

Hi all - first post here. I am looking to set up a number of VPN's (around 50) to my clients for the purposes of remote support. I am looking at a number of router O/S's and hardware platforms, obviously MikroTik is a strong contender at this point. I am looking at using RB750G's at client sites but...
