The only successful method of backing up and restoring with 4.0B that I have had is to back up the data folder in the installation directory. Also i back up the .conf file located in the root of c:/, not sure if this file is needed but i back it up anyway. Import and export has been problematic. My ...

I am looking for the same solution. I have proprietary wireless transmitters that do the same thing. I have 3 to 6 transmitters at each site and the DUDE only discovers the first one. I also remember seeing a similar post with the issue with customer side CPE's in the past without a solution.

I would display the Mac address in the device label and then use a probe to graph the RSSI and place a link between the device and switch to display and graph the Tx and Rx rates.

Set snmp settings correctly on the dude to match snmp on the cisco's.

Questions: What type of AP are you using? Do you have SNMP enabled on the AP? Are you able to get other data Via SNMP? ??? it only works in station ??? Ensure your snmp settings in the dude and the ap match up. You should be able to use the "snmp walk" tool to figure out which oid to use t...

Is there any way to force a discovery of a devices name via dns or snmp. I have many devices that the name did not discover properly so it has the ip address for the name. This makes it hard to identify what device it is unless i'm looking at the map as I changed the map display to show snmp_name in...

I am not sure what is causing your issue without more information on how things are connected. i.e. are you connecting to the agents via vpn or some other means. The way mine are set up are as follows Main Dude server - windows XP - DUDE 4.0B2 - Open NMS for windows Agent #1 - routerOS 4.13 - DUDE4....

I am setting up an agent on a distant network to share the load for that network. I have everything set up and talking but I have a question about the probes. When I set the agent in the devices main properties screen and then I go to the services screen the probes show "default" for the a...

Most companies will not talk to you about their throttling policies as it is a very sticky and legally grey area. You can try to google search your isp for what ports and services they block and sometimes you can find some vague info about their throttling policies. In general however every ISP stat...

There are a multitude of things that could be causing your issues at home from just high latency or simple QOS monitoring by your ISP. The best way to set it up is to have a computer in the network running the DUDE monitor and then connecting to that machine remotely via web or the DUDE client. This...

It does look like the web interface for the DUDE is not working on routerOS-5.0RC4. You should connect to it on port 81 but so far I have had no luck getting into the DUDE via web. I am going to try the stable release to see if the web interface is working on that as soon as I get my 400M backup fil...

Can you set the processes priority in routerOS? I usually forget to change the priority on the windows server when I reboot. I have been looking for a way to make it permanent but the Google searches Ive done where vague on doing this. I was just reading up on some of your posts about negative cache...

This is similar to my second attempt but with 48 port switches it just doesn't work on the map. That is why I was hoping to have the information come up in a table similar to the snmp tab for a device. I had the information come up in the tool tip and it worked but for the fact that all non switch e...

Are you able to connect to the network that the dude server is on with the remote computer? You may need to setup a VPN into the network. The way I have mine setup up is that I have a DUDE server on two remote networks and then I VPN into the networks and either bring up the DUDE web page by putting...

I was just looking for the same thing to get a report of microwave RSL and Sinad. I hope someone has a way of doing this. The charts are great for trouble shooting but a report would be great for day to day reporting so I can see the levels from all the devices at once.

Did you try the default user name and password? admin [no password]

Can you use winbox to get into routerOS?

Ok, I bit the bullet and moved to a xeon dual core and now my cpu is not maxed out anymore. I do however still see a lot of dropped probes and it feels like it is because of how many are running at once.

I am looking to build an information table similar to the SNMP tab for devices. I have tried using the oid_column command but the data comes in an unusable string. If this data where able to be run vertically instead of horizontally you could actually read the information. :shock: What I need would ...

As an update: I downgraded the server to routerOS 4.13 and the cpu usage is worse. It now stays at a constant 100% and it looks like there may be a memory leak.

I would recommend staying away from the LMR cable and using something like Andrews smooth walled solid shield or similar. Over time I have had many issues with the connectors for braided shield cable on long runs. It's fine if you get everything perfect the first time but I have had much better luck...

I would try checking the speed check box and setting the speed to the actual speed of the link. i.e. 200M link = 200000000 I had to do this for several of my licensed microwave backhaul links. The only issue i run into is that with adaptive modulation you do not see this reflected during bad weather...

Is there any way to limit how many probes are broadcast at one time? On my server I have over 1000 services that are probed and the DUDE probes them all at once. This causes my cpu usage to spike to 100% and then I get all kinds off false failures. Ideally I would like to limit the amount of active ...

I have several different device types in the network. As an example I have Power supplies, Switches, site controllers, Base Stations, and microwaves. On the Microwave appearance I like to have the current RSL value, on the Base Stations I like to have the current number of CPE's connected, and on th...

Is there any possible way to set the device appearance globally for specific device types? i.e. If I want to have certain information for an access point show up for just Access points but not have that information show up for other devices. Manually editing every ap in the network is not an option ...

If you need to graph something that returns a null value at 0 try using a function to add 0 to the oid. Or if not overly critical for accuracy +1.

oid("x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x")+0

Not sure if this will work but it's worth a try. I don't have any probes to try this on right now.

The appearance wouldn't work because it would make the device take up the whole screen. What i did for right now is create 26 functions - 1 for each port - and put them all into the tool tip. The "if" statement in the function only shows something if those ports exist on the device but on ...

Anyone have some ideas on this one? Or am i stuck creating hundreds of notes. I don't want to make probes for the ports because it will make the services up list ridiculous. I just want to be able to see a description of the ports so I know what is plugged into each. Unfortunately my foundry switche...

I was able to get my RSSI to graph by using a function to multiply the oid by -1. This did not work if i multiplied by -1 in the probe itself. Function - RRSL oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.10728.2.16.3.3.2.0")*-1 Probe Available oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.10728.2.16.3.3.2.0") error if (RRSL() < 70,&quo...

I think what we need is a function that returns the absolute value of a string. Or possibly try to make the conversion in a function instead of in the probe. I will playing around with it a little more later today.

From what I've found negative numbers will not graph. One type of microwave radio i have reports with positive numbers and graphs fine and the other type of radio reports negative numbers and i have not been able to get it to graph properly. My next attempt will be with "oid_raw" but i thi...

Is there any way to insert a carriage return in notes? I am trying to list out the port states of each switch with their description. Right now the only way to make it readable is to enter a separate note for each port. I would like to keep it to one note so i can use a simple text template for each...
