It seems that SNMP value .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.3.12.0 is power consumption I've monitoring some CCRs running routeros6, and this value is returning about 300-400. I find that unlikely they are pulling 300 Watts but I haven't put a meter across them -- would I be right in assuming the units are in 1...

Started to move my estate to ros7, there's a few differences I can get used to, but the most annoying one is with ping In ros6 I can do "/ping 1.1" and get a response printed a few milliseconds later, if it doesn't appear practically instantly I know there's something wrong. In ros7 it tak...

I have a pair of mikrotiks (routeros6) in the same AS, each receiving a default route via eBGPing, and peering with each over via iBGP When it's all up it looks like this /ip route> print Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic, C - connect, S - static, r - rip, b - bgp, o - ospf, m - mme, B - ...

The firewall rule numbering behaviour is changed since v6 If I'm in say /ip/firewall/filter and do "print", it shows them in order from 0 upwards I move rule 8 to position 2, do a print, and it behaves as before, and the rules are in order, from 0 upwards However if I do say print where ch...

I've built my BGP from scratch on my test machine so this might be egg sucking, Are you setting the output with /routing bgp template set output.redistribute=connected,static (Or setting it in the individual peer) It looks like route filters are now default deny rather than default accept too. I can...

So 7.1 is now out properly, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Managed to get a BGP session up and running, albeit with bfd yet, so went onto looking at the filtering, I can't see what I'm advertising with a normal "/routing bgp advertisements print"

It was an electric problem of some sort, swapping the cat5 stopped the problem

Bit the bullet and decided to upgrade+reboot

Couldn't copy files on to router, or download them.

Rebooted, and it came back (phew), with all my old user accounts, all fixed.

Perhaps disk was in read only mode or something.

Yes, there's nothing in the "export terse" that's different to what it should be.

Be so much easier if I could physically go and prod the router (and replace it with one off the shelf)

I've recent adopted a VPN solution, and upon reviewing it it seems they haven't installed any certificate, let alone a valid one, on the server. Am I right to think that sstp has the client send the username/password to the server, and thus is open to MITM attacks? They have about 120 clients on the...

I see, so the traffic appears to come from the same public IP address whether it's from network A, or network B, and you want to deal with traffic from network B differently on the firewall You could use a mangle rule to change DSCP on each packet - set it to 1 from network A, 2 from network B, then...

You're attempting to peer with 172.22.245.109, but you don't have a route to that network. It's either supposed to be connected directly (say you are support to be 172.22.245.110, and there's a cable between the two routers), or you reach it via some other form of routing (statics, ospf, etc).

pwuk

It looks like you have added static routes to each network, via 10.0.99.42. These are being used as active routes because they have the lowest cost (1) Your BGP routes (ibgp) are not being installed into the routing table because the same destination (for example 10.103.0.0/22) is already available ...

I came across this page the other day -- https://www.quora.com/How-are-EGP-and-IGP-different The author is a Principal Engineer at Cisco, working on BGP, so clearly he knows his routing "There is only one EGP protocol in use and it is BGP. The two common IGP protocols in use are OSPF and ISIS. ...

I've seen Juniper SRXs silently dropping unicast traffic. I haven't got any concrete proof that mikrotiks are dropping packets silently, but I've suspected. I do know some routers - like the CCR1036 - are prone to reordering packets, especially when there are queue trees involved. I'm glad someone e...

Just to confirm I advertise everything from /16 to /32 (and /0) via eBGP between many different ASs I do try to aggregate routes to /24s, but it's sometimes not possible. For example Incoming filter at one site /routing filter add action=accept chain=bgp-in-fromcore comment="From UK Path A"...

Normally you can monitor BGP via SNMP walking 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2, which returns the state (other oids are available) Mikrotik doesn't implement this, which seems crazy. I typically peer mikrotik-cisco or mikrotik-juniper and monitor on the cisco/juniper end, which does work. If you're peering mikr...

So on each router you have an eoip interface, a physical port, and a bridge that contains both?

I'm guessing there's no entry in the arp tables?

Route filters * Wan1-out -- set 10.10.2.0/24 to as-prepend of 2 * Wan2-out -- set 103.107.224.0/23 to as-prepend of 2 That would mean that incoming traffic would However for outgoing traffic I think you'd have to use routing marks if you only have one router, and from memory that involves using /rou...

Thanks for this, > Another thing to note, how does your OSPF process learn the prefixes advertised from AS 65011?

What architecture is your potentially compromised system? This was a in-house lab x86 system (non-production - but live Internet connected) system we sometimes used to ping to and btest to.

Clearly if the bulk of your traffic is from one IP to another IP you can't balance it -- at least not without an ISP providing something like LACP or ECMP (and even then I believe it's good practice to send the same IP/port/src-dst down the same link to avoid reorders. I've not really used either pr...

I can confirm that applies to the x86 version in a VM (which had >7gb allocated)

That's rather funny! 1) Restore your config to a backup version before you got hacked, update the firmware to the latest version 2) Keep your firmware updtodate.

We could guess and assume it's related to viewtopic.php?f=21&t=132499#p650812, as suggested in the other thread (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=134754&p=663554). It would be good to have that confirmed.

If you've been given a virtual ethernet cable then just treat it as if it was a real ethernet cable.

OK, that was a dumb move. I'd set up the ebgp peering, but not the ibgp peering.

In a far better state now

I split AB and CD into two AS numbers, and got rid of OSPF on those 4. Kept EF as a single one. Peer from B-C, E-F, B-E and C-F. Routes all seem to work regardless of the failures.
