Re: OSPFv3 adjacency with Cisco routers

I could probably work around it by running two OSPFv3 instances, but since we're not really doing much with IPv6 for our customers yet, I'm not too concerned. If one link goes down, the other should form adjacencies and converge within 45 seconds or so. I was just kind of curious if anyone had seen ...

OSPFv3 adjacency with Cisco routers

We primarily use Cisco on our network core, but are deploying a CCR1072-1G-8S+ as a PPPoE end-user concentration box. As such, it needs to speak OSPF with the rest of the core network. The design is a fairly straightforward dual-uplink; each uplink network having two core routers as DR/BDR. It's the...

Re: MikroTik HAP AC vs. CRS109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN for home Router / AP

CRS products are primarily switches, so don't get one of these thinking that it's going to be a high-performance router.

If you like the ports/features of a CRS, you might pair it up with a hEX router.

The hAP AC would be my choice of the things you listed.

Re: Mikrotik IPV6 Network, IPV4 ISP

If you don't control your public IP then there's really not much that you can do.

If your device has a static public IP address, then you can either use tunnelbroker, or even get your feet wet using 6to4 addressing.

Re: Can't get IPv6 double router config to work

Path MTU discovery issues are incredibly common because of ICMP paranoia. +1 to all the ICMP heroes out there! But... but clamp tcp mss is a thing, right? That will fix the mess I make when I block all ICMP right? Better to have to apply a workaround than to let my device be discovered by a ping sc...

Re: Simple queue PCQ uploads saturate connection

I'd suspect that the problem is due to the fact that queue trees parented to the WAN interface will not see what they need to see in order to work as expected. Consider that the default setup for pcq-upload-default uses src-IP as the determining factor for creating/using the dynamic sub-queues. Okay...

Re: Internet configuration with CGNAT

It seems odd that an ISP would give you both a CGNat IP and a public IP directly at your router. (Seems to defeat the purpose of CGNat). Do you know if they are simply telling you what public IP is mapped to your CGNat IP, or if they're actually routing it to you? If they're routing it, then your ou...

Re: Router won't route LAN to WAN! Totally stumped [SOLVED]

The moral of the story is: before adding a device with a statically-configured IP address, first ping the proposed address and check the ARP cache. If you get no ARP replies, then the address is free (at the moment). I got burned by this once and the device was a laptop running every commercially-av...

Re: Simple queue PCQ uploads saturate connection

You could try using queue trees on the WAN interface with a simple configuration that gives priority to TCP ACK's. Make a mangle table rule in the prerouting & output chains: 1: protocol=tcp | packet Size: 0-123 | tcp flags=ack | action=mark packet | new packet mark=tcpack | passthrough=no (impo...

Re: Prioritize within PCQ

To prioritize a protocol like DNS, then make a separate queue for that protocol (this queue need not necessarily be PCQ) - and note that the queue type doesn't matter on any queue which is not a leaf queue. I.e. the root queue doesn't pass tokens to the sub-queues using PCQ algorithms. You pretty mu...

Re: Can't get IPv6 double router config to work

Blocking ICMP is so late-90's security tech anyway. Everyone needs to stop doing that. It breaks subtle things in ways most people don't realize, and it doesn't improve security by making your host "undetectable." Your host isn't undetectable by blocking ICMP anyway - if there's so much as...

Re: Masquerade traffic in forward chain

A couple of tips: It's not the input chain because there is no input/output/forward chain structure in the NAT table - there is only srcnat and dstnat. In the filter table, this would be forward because neither the source IP address in the packet nor the destination IP in the packet belongs to the r...

Re: Router won't route LAN to WAN! Totally stumped [SOLVED]

No problem!

So it turned out to be essentially a form of ARP poisoning - caused by IP duplication. That's why good troubleshooting steps are essential. Start eliminating things until the problem follows one or the other test you make, helping you narrow down what it could/couldn't be.

Happy routing!

Re: Routing based on SOURCE IP or SOURCE interface?

route rules are a simplified way to do policy routing, as opposed to the "mainstream" method of using action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=ISP2 on mangle table rules. Basically, the thing you want to do is make some route rules which list your local addresses (both LANs and both WANs) and ...

Re: PIM Routing Not Working

Look in the status windows to see if the routers show your multicast group e.g. 226.94.10.1 Also - since you use two different groups with iperf - I assume that one or the other is the real group your system uses, and not 224.0.0.x (which is defined as local segment only - i.e. it doesn't pass throu...

Make sure the firewall's filter rules aren't blocking traffic to your server. Add a rule: chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-ports=80,443 dst-address=192.168.x.x action=accept (use the inside IP / ports in your rule because filtering happens AFTER dstnat takes place) Make sure this rule comes early enou...

Are you using Comcast? When you first set a prefix-hint on their service, a strange thing happens.

That I couldn't say since I've never put a CCR into any kind of core-level production.
I'd say that most of the line appears to be capable enough to handle 600Mbps without much problem, even with smaller packets such as RTP (VoIP).
