Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

I don't have one handy to try myself, so I can just suggest you to try to create a bridge (named e.g. lte-bridge), set the passthrough-interface parameter of the /interface lte apn row you use to lte-bridge, and attach a manually configured dhcp client to that bridge. If all these steps succeed and...

Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

I have tried two methods in a lab setup of the failover issue. In both cases, I had two ethernet interfaces (to avoid issues with LTE for now) both set up as WAN. The first method was with both interfaces using action=src-nat and the other method with both interfaces using action=masquerade. I start...

Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

Yes, drop invalid fixed the main issue of internal traffic not getting NATed. However, the secondary issue that was realized while troubleshooting is that when I have multiple WAN and it fails over from one to the other, there are packets showing a source IP from WAN1 going out on the WAN2 interface...

Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

Is a manual or scripted option of clearing connections the only thing anyone can see? While it wouldn't be the first time I've scripted solutions, I was hoping for a more built in solution than this.

Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

As a test to see if related to Masquerade, I set up a test environment with ether1 as my primary connection and ether2 as my secondary. ether1 had an IP of 10.12.1.2/24 and ether2 had an IP of 192.168.0.2/24. Primary route was 10.12.1.1 with distance 1 and I added the Pref source (for good measure) ...

Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

To clarify, my packet captures no longer show internal traffic going out either public interface after adding the rules above. So we've got that solved. Instead, after a failover, ether1's IP is seen going out on LTE. When failing back, the LTE's IP is seen going out on ether1.

Re: Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

You may want to try srcnat rule with action=sct-nat instead of masquerade using an address within DHCP subnet range of your cellular modem/router. Set this address on ether1 manually instead of DHCP client and also manually add the same default route as DHCP client did. I would do this where I can,...

In the case of my most recent issue, it is the only WAN interface. I have had the issue in the past, but because it was a backup connection, it was not as high of a priority.

Issues with internal traffic not getting NATed

I have a situation in which a Mikrotik router has internal traffic "leaking" to the public interface. Normally this would not be an issue, as most devices upstream would simply pass it on and the packets would be lost somewhere along the way. However, I have issues with cellular networks k...

Re: OVPN Server on RB1100AHx2 sporadically unresponsive

I don't think it would be the Meraki overreacting, since it would continue to overreact after the Mikrotik was rebooted. After rebooting the Mikrotik, it comes back up with no issues. Furthermore, existing connections continue to work with no issues.

It wouldn't sound quite like the dial up noise, since the speaker can only play single tones, where as the dialing and several other aspects of the dial up noise require dual tones. I can't really think of a way to make it play the static sound.
