I have a similar question. I have a Ubuntu server which terminates about 170 PPTP tunnels, we've had to implement a script to restart the VPN service as it simply hangs and stops new connections handshaking. I do have a couple of CCRs installed in separate DCs in the UK - I might make a config scrip...
Hi Guys, I have a HP DL120 which is working great. I've had it live for a while now on the internal 1Gbps card. I recently added an Intel X520 10G NIC with the suggested Intel SFP+. This shows up fine in ROS. I'm connecting the interface to a port on an Extreme X650. On the Extreme I can not force t...
Hi Everyone, I have a DL380 which I want to use as a core router. It has RAID and SAS disks and as expected ROS can't see the array. I have managed to install ROS onto a USB drive and it appears to be stable. Can anyone recommend what the most reliable way to do this is? - A compact flash card with ...
Hi Everyone, Does anyone know if it is possible to load balance Mikrotiks back to a single gateway? I've been reading up on VRRP which looks like an excellent solution as a fail-over, is there a way to almost round robin the traffic over two routers. Like so: << Router 1 >> Customers >>> << Gateway>...
I have an RB1100 and multiple 24 port Cisco switches. The goal is to create each port on the Cisco's as an access port and only allow 5 IP addresses to be provided per port. The trunking of the ports back to the router is fine. In order to get connectivity to the port I've had to add the individual ...
Have you done any performance testing with this? I have 2 identical R310's, 4 core, 4GB Ram, 2 on board nics and 2x 2GB PCIe NICs. Loaded up an identical config on both, with the aim to bond the 2 PCIe NIC interfaces then speed test between the two units.. I tested the performance on a single interf...
Hi Guys, We have a new (Dell) x86 router which we're experiencing problems with. The router keeps on rebooting when trying to authenticate via MAC: feb/14/2012 12:56:14 hotspot,error,info,debug Radius disconnect request for unknown ip 111.111.111.111 feb/14/2012 12:57:45 hotspot,error,info,debug Rad...
I've been doing some reading on what appear to be old notes that detail information on configuring a mikrotik to supply a DHCP address from a temporary address pool. Once the user is authenticated they will then be supplied with an IP address from the public pool. We are using radius manager, I know...
Hi Guys, I have done some searching and can't find a definitive answer. We need to build a Router that will have dual 10Gbps (Fibre) NICs. We're looking at the Dell R610s, 6 Core, 4Gb ram etc. As you may have guessed we're expecting to shift some serious traffic. Can anyone offer me any guidance on ...
We won't be running NAT as we'll be buying a pool of public addresses from Ripe. The deeper technicalities I can't really answer. I plan on paying a Mikrotik consultant to do the setup as on this scale it's probably a bit out of my depth. We plan on running QoS. The end users will be home and busine...
As far as I know the answer is no.
We have a similar setup to you and haven't actually managed to successfully get the multiple users working! Still waiting to hear back from Viktor.
Hi Guys, I have the opportunity to become an ISP to my local fibre network. The data centre has suggested using rather a expensive Cisco router as a main router. I'm keen to know how many 100Mbps clients will an RB1100 or 1300 actually handle? Our initial WAN connection will be 1Gbps and the end use...
I was looking for more clarity on how to tell the devices to talk to each hotspot? Manually configure the CPE's address within the range of the specified VLAN?
Btw, please don't patronise me. This is a support forum, I'm simply asking what the best method is for my problem.
Hi Guys, I have an RB1100 as the base for my new WISP. I want to run multiple hotspots on the router, for example I would like to sell hotspot connections to hotels and for them to have their own custom hotspot login/signup screen. I'm am using UBNT wireless equipment and the CPE and the transmitter...
Hmmm, thats not cool.
You'd think it would be an obvious thing. I would have thought it was a common requirement to have more than just a name and an email address these days.
Any chance of some example code...I'm a bit rusty with html.
Other question you may know the answer to...is it possible to auto populate the additional fields available within the user's profile?
I added the values to the form, eg location but it didn't seem to work.
Hi mihaialdea, I can see that that would work really well in a hosting environment. My services are to sell internet access to business and home users, I'm worried that the clients that buy the faster packages will be the users that want to hammer the connections for downloads. I presume most ADSL I...
Hi Guys, I plan on using usermanager to authenticate hotspot users as well as my monthly billed clients (outside of user manager). The monthly clients will be assigned different profiles to that of the hotspot users. Is there a way to disable or hide some profiles so they don't appear on the hotspot...
Hi Guys, Does anyone have a good method for calculating how many users can share bandwidth. I understand I will need to configure traffic shaping on the router (RB1100). My router is located in a datacentre with a 100Mbps port. I get charged per Mbps. For instance, if I want to sell 10Mbps packages ...
Ahh I see, is there no way of configuring it without using a WAN address?
I am configuring and testing at the moment and only have a DHCP WAN address. Until deployment I wont have a static?
Thats how it was to start with but I was unable to access the signup page. I've tried reverting everything back to 127.0.0.1 as well as the interface's IP address now I'm constantly getting the Radius Not Responding. If I factory reset what step should I take to ensure I can access the signup page w...
Hi Guys Thanks for that, that got me a little further! In the latest RouterOS the url is actually: http://IP/user/signup/login After doing that I still couldn't get it working...after banging my head against the wall I realised it's because user manager is running locally on the box. I added a secon...
Hi Guys, I have an Rb1100 and I am in the config/testing stages at the moment. The hot spot is configured and user manager seems to be up and running. From what I can see, within user manager I have ticked and completed the fields that will allow users to register or sign up. Every time I connect to...
Hi nest, Thanks for your help via email. I thought I would post this question on here as I'm sure I won't be the first to ask it. I think I'm going to go down the MikroTik User Manager route as I think it will cover what I need. I'm keen to run this on a virtual server as you are...mainly because if...
I've been looking at the Radius Manager software, I think it runs off the back of FreeRadius. I contacted the company that make Radius Manager I they outlined that their license ties to the mac address of the server. I'm basically looking for an easy to use accounting and billing system. How did you...
So it looks like I need to go down the Radius Manager route I'm guessing!?
I was hoping not as my system is in a datacentre so I will need to purchase extra rack space along with a server to run it.
Hi Guys, It's all pretty much summed up in the title. I'm a noob to the site. I am in the process of starting a wide area WISP. My RB1100 should be here tomorrow. First question: 1) - Is it possible to configure the unit to accept payments from merchants other than Authorize and Paypal? I am in the ...
Hi Guys, I'm a noob :) My RB1100 will be here tomorrow (hopefully). I've been doing a lot of research on this and am yet to get a clear cut answer. 1) Is it possible to use another merchant apart from Authorize or Paypal? - I am in the UK and Authorize don't support us Brits!! 2) What is the reason ...
