cdemers

Config export would really help. But from the looks of it, if it's only running as a switch and getting 100% cpu, the bridge is mis-configured not having hardware offload enabled. Or you have enabled 'use ip firewall' in bridge settings, which will also run much of the traffic though the cpu.

Ipv6 local addresses do not seem to be working right on this release. Simply reset configuration, with Ipv6 package enabled, and winbox cannot see the router Ipv6 local address.

Are you using the wireless-fp package and not the regular one?

What antennas are you using? Most antennas are tuned for particular frequency ranges, so if your trying to use a 2.4 antenna with a 5.x radio it's not going to work. Need to use a 5.x antenna.

Anyone else having a problem with Webproxy on 5.24? I have two units a RB450 and 751G that both will stop running after a while. Using the firewall to only forward port 80 traffic to the proxy. Works fine for a while then router becomes unresponsive and can no longer ping the IP address or see the I...

cdemers

Write to support, they will be able to help you.

cdemers

Can you ping the other routers reliably? I have been using OSPF also for years in my network and have not seen a problem exactly like that. But sounds like your getting one way communication though one of your links.

cdemers

Is it always from the same part of the network? Maybe there is packet loss somewhere.

cdemers

I know, seen your post before. Things have moved along quite quickly since then with manufacturers adopting the standard. Looks really interesting, interesting enough for Google to adopt using it.

5.15 i had all the issues and then switched to 6 beta 2, so far in the last 24 hours i have had no problems with connectivity

cdemers

No problem, your welcome.

cdemers

It's on the download page.

cdemers

Had problems on RB751G, upgraded to 6 Beta 2 and all problems that I had went away. Wireless is now stable, with both notebook with intel wifi, and nexus S phone. Made no configuration changes after the upgrade.

cdemers

Thought there would be more response to this. More and more hardware vendors are adding these features to their switches and routers. Don't think we should sit by the sidelines as this new infrastructure management is being adopted by all the big guys.

cdemers

Issues that I have had so far with 5.15, bridge device not always working correctly, have IP bound to it and DHCP, bridge to an Ethernet port and VAP wifi interface. Have DHCP set to 10 minutes for lease time (been like that for years without problems). (Additional note, using bridge with VLAN seems...

We normally order from Xagyl (been happy, but does not always have what i need), but if they don't have it I get it from roc-noc (never have had a problem with them) and just a bummer having to pay the duty.

So far new version has been really stable on x86, have installed on be/le routers also with similar results so far. How has it been running on PPC, all core routers are 1100's and don't want to upgrade those until i know it's stable. No spares of those to test with right now.

cdemers

Only x86 unit I have been having a problem on myself is my testing unit, it's a Soekris net4501. Works fine most of the time. Only have has a couple random reboots, need reattach the serial cable and see if there are any messages on the console. Seems random though haven't actually caught it yet. On...

If your using 3 ISP's and all your not using NAT, then you should be using a BGP routing setup to advertise all the addresses between the ISP's. If your using NAT there are examples in the wiki like the folowing: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Load_Balancing_over_Multiple_Gateways Otherwise with BGP ...

cdemers

airnet, you should post it up on the wiki for everyone so it doesn't get lost in all the posts, good work on figuring it out. might make for a new interesting section in the wiki, on how to make other displays work also so we all don't have to keep re-inventing the wheel.

One is 18 Volts and the other is 24Volts, as for which one to use, it depends on your load, if it is just a bare board and short cables it won't matter which one your using. But with longer POE cable runs it's better using the higher voltage due to loss. Also, if your using lots of cards use the hig...

cdemers

The provided instructions link you provided should work fine. Are you sure that the NAT rule is correct for your setup? DNS & DHCP is enabled/setup for your network? If you still can't get it to work post your configuration.

cdemers

Have you tried setting winbox to not load previous session and see if the problem still exists. I had a similar problem at one time and that fixed it.

cdemers

What problems are you having? I upgraded all my 5xx series boards to 5.4 and everything works well. Have you tried to reset the configuration? Have you upgraded the firmware on the board?

cdemers

Greetings, I have run into this myself with windows clients, it's usually the windows firewall. The easy fix is to just turn off the firewall on the clients, they will be able to communicate with each other then. The windows firewall defaults to not accepting from outside the defined subnet, so your...

Hope so, been running into problems with current configuration of cisco, want to eliminate it from the network. Especially so as will be moving the data center and making new router.

cdemers

Glad to get to see some response on this. I can also setup a test environment to test this if needed, i have an extra cisco around i can use for testing. Would be nice to eliminate the cisco router in the network that only has 1 purpose to terminate the L2TP connections from the phone company.

cdemers

Hoping to see something on this working soon. Will be redoing the network and would like to get rid of the Cisco that it's only function is to provide L2TP termination for our DSL customers. Would rather have the primary Mikrotik router doing all the work, will make for a much simpler network config...

Greetings,

Please post your configuration so we can see what the problem is.

The above 2 would be a good start. Make sure you remove or change your passwords.

Hi changeip, It's been completely stable, only change i had to make was recent when drop.lasso list changed something and kept making a bogus rule.

cdemers

Hey changeip, Would you mind if I make this post a wiki article? As your the original author i should ask before I make one. I have only made one change to the script and that was to fix a format change in the drop.lasso list that caused a blank firewall rule to be included that caused a problem. Of...

It's just the regular download as a torrent, of course you have to buy a key.

I have done some basic testing, but haven't tried any OSPF configurations, so far so good. Have to wait till the weekend to upgrade my primary routers and see if all the bugs have been fixed. Anyone else see anything with this version?

Just installed it on my test routers and will be taking it for a spin. Hoping that OSPF has improved some more, i want to upgrade my core routers off of 2.9.26, which is still buggy too at times.
