Just click "Update License Key" instead of "Update/Get New Key" because you already have the new style of key.

I just did the same thing and it worked just fine.

Hi all, After reading the Wiki and the examples there, I end up with the example showing how to load balance over the two routers. For this to work, there are two VRRP groups that both routers are in and each one is the master for one group while being the slave for the other group. Great! In order ...

click "update license" in the winbox license menu

you're the man !

I had actually thought of that but was afraid it was gonna bite me

thanks!
Nick.

Someone here mentioned that their rb450g came with v3.x l4 and got l5 after upgrading to v4.x I thought it was strange but perhaps it's true... They came with 4.5 l4 and I updated to 4.9 and they stayed l4 ... I bought these from Roc-Noc but I think all board have the license aboard already so that...

Hi,

I just bought 3 RB450G's and found they have a l4 license instead of l5. As they must support 300 concurrent hotspot users, I am in trouble.

How can this happen and how to correct it?

tnx,
Nick.

You can't filter out native routes (used on interfaces) because these are used as next-hop addresses in the routing table. It would break routing.

cheers,
Nick.

There is a simple way to do that, much like it is done in BGP: Set up a black hole for the /24, like a static route to a Null interface. Your normal routing will still work because you have more significant routes (higher prefix). Next, in OSPF, setup the config to redistribute static routes with a ...

Sure looks like the same problem. What is your DNS config, which servers are you using?

Also, what does a dig/nslookup tell you about es.yahoo.es ?

cheers,
Nick.

Hi. I still having DNS problems but not with google, i made static entries and everithing it´s working ok, now the problems is with es.search.yahoo.es I made the same procedure to fix it, add stratic entrie but no luck. Any idea? Thnks Making static entries for domains that you are not authoritive ...

Hmmm... all the Internet exchanges that I know prohibit using routers that can't do flap dampening. All the big ones require it. You can use something else than Cisco or Juniper but what you use must be able to works flawlessly with those two systems and you must know how to configure that before se...

Yes, DNScache is rock stable, don't hesitate to use it. On the rest: they have httpd for other routers and it's doing just fine. Even a couple of pages with stuff to download etc. is nice. no server-side stuff, no Apache. Disk: what does some USB flash cost? I have thrown these out because they were...

@jcremin: I can generally agree with our post, but don't you find it curious that you are the only one in the world that had this problem without using any OpenDNS servers?? Think!

And like I said: there's bind for windows too.

cheers,
Nick.

What happens if you leave out: tcp-md5-key="" Also, see if you can set the BGP version to 4. the rest looks good. But I must say that on an IX you should normally come with a Cisco or Juniper. Your peers are not going to like you much for this trouble and they might stop the peering agreem...

For those who want to defend running a nameserver on windows: a nameserver is as alien to microsoft as Alf to Earth: there will be trouble. If you really really can't admin a unix flavour box and have to use windows, I understand that bind has been ported to windows. It has nothing to do with me hat...

You use a windows nameserver and find it strange all goes fubar??!!! pls, m$ is still bitter that the Internet stayed with DNS & bind instead of their crap so stay away from that. beat & burn it!

ciao!
Nick.

Yes, I was waiting for that question Routers can be disappointingly simple... sometimes

cheers,
Nick.

When I first started having this problem (when I originally started this thread) I was using my own DNS server. I know for a fact that I didn't have a problem with the config.... Simple DNS caching server which queried the root servers, not any other ISP's server. Because of that one simple issue, ...

If you can make it fit, try to get caps for a higher voltage instead of higher capacity. It could be that the original ones are a bad batch but so many?? may be at a higher voltage they never fail again. The trouble is that for a higher voltage they are bigger, so take the board to the electronics s...

How about this: connect the server to your mikrotik and give that interface an available IP address in the same subnet as the server?

cheers,
Nick.

Yes, nameserver stability is great. Our freeBSD nameservers set a record of > 800 days (all of them). We took them down for upgrading to a newer version of freeBSD or they would still be running I think.

But... does anyone here have bind running on a routerboard?

cheers,
Nick.

Hi Rodolfo, There are two ways to do this good and which one you choose depends on who you are: an ISP or not. If you are an ISP you should have a good solid base of customers and be on good speaking terms with your upstream ISP's. If not, you should choose the other option. non-ISP: you want to mul...

Wow, nice info. First of all I am delighted to find another Dutch on this forum. I have the feeling there aren't a lot. (En wanneer dat wel het geval is, zend me een mail naar info@marucom.es. I wil wel eens weten met wie ik dan van doen heb!) Great! Any Dutch emigrated and working with MT? Even be...

I guess times are changing and RFC are just that. One might argue that sending false information, as you put it, is what OpenDNS does for business. But that's not an a problem. The issue is that on occasion MT DNS does not resolve http://www.google.com at all (not even to "false" OpenDNS ...

Well, here goes for my first post here ;-) I admit that I retired in 2002 but I used to be one of those DNS guru's (I started first commercial ISP in Holland) and actually worked on the RFC's with RIPE and IETF. So, I'm a bit rusty but I know this stuff. I just checked and see my servers are still t...
