no, the DRS is correct. It's the KNOT that is weird. Verified on other hardware.

KNOT can only read holding registers in transceive, but via TCP you can do everything.

And yes, the modbus address is set via jumpers on the unit.

Packet loss is not a particularly good metric to use against a cake or fq_codel instance, as it uses packet loss to control congestion if RFC3168 is not enabled by the endpoints. In exchange for decreased latency, you get more packet loss. So in both fq_codel and cake you should have seen an increa...

Re: ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7.1rc2

I have successfully linked two remote LANs via Zerotier on both Mikrotik routers. I can ping MacBooks over the link. However Apple's Bonjour mDNS does not show remote MacBooks in the list of my network devices in Finder. Do I need to add special configuration for it ? If I install ZeroTier on each ...

Re: ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7.1rc2

Will this work on hAP ac lite in the future?
They said it would be on all architectures, and it's a small package so I'd say chances are good.

Re: WIFI 6 Roadmap

I would initially be quite happy with JUST WiFi6, 6E will be great, but I can use 6 today to great effect.

Re: ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7.1rc2

Hi
I'm trying to connect L2TP over IP SEC over ZeroTier network but its not working.

Have anybody got i working?


/Sten
really no idea why you would do this, but it's almost certainly an MTU issue.

Re: ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7rc2

So, if I understand correctly, ZT is building a huge L2 domain inside the "Network"? There is a P2P L2 solution? We hate L2 in ISP backbone as it is very dangerous and caused a lot of issues. This huge L2 domain works only in a perfect world where we isn't living. How can we defend agains...

Re: ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7.1rc2

Is there any way we can set the interface MTU for ZeroTier? At first glance everything looks to work fine, but I would like to avoid all packet fragmentation if possible. No CLI command looks to fit this purpose so far. No need or point doing this in zerotier because routeros can already do MTU, mr...

Re: routeros 7 hAP ac2 wave2 special installer req

hAP ac2 has the same wireless chip as the ac3. Most likely it's excluded from the compatibility list because of it's 16MB of storage.

My hAPAC2 isn’t rebooting with zerotier. It does reboot for fq_codel or cake queues though, do you have those enabled?

Re: ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7.1rc2

zerotier should be faster than this, I expect this is just early implementation issues.

routeros 7 hAP ac2 wave2 special installer req

Hi all, I'd really like to play with the wave2 package on the hap ac2 units, but there's not enough room for the npk AND the installation of it. Can we get a v7 install option that includes the wave2 package so it will fit?

I'm advertising routes on a zerotier network via zerotier's mechanism for route distribution. In winbox, my zerotier published routes are marked INVALID. ie, 'DIFy', thought he gateway address is correct, it's what I set on the zerotier network. On CLI, they are 'DIv', Dynamic, Inactive, vpn. They a...

Re: potential bug

I mean change the configuration and remove a port from the bridge. I removed the port, added an IP for a PTP link and set the default gateway over that. That gateway path will not work until you disable hardware acceleration and re-enable it. Routes that existed before removal work, but the new defa...
