Re: How to Block BGP AS to my network?

If you're taking full tables, you can block the outbound traffic by installing routes for that ASN as blackhole routes using a routing filter.

For inbound, you'd have to talk with your upstream and see if they have BGP communities that will allow selective 'no-export' for the ASN in question.

Re: ROSv7 BGP-VPLS Setup Help

In the v7 BPG peer is missing the update-source parameter. In v6 is used to point to loopback bridge. update-source is now local.address . here is an example: name="IPv4-rtr-edge-02.jan1.us.ipa.net" remote.address=100.127.32.2/32 .as=65012 local.address=100.127.32.3 .role=ibgp-rr connect=...

Re: Using RouterOS to VLAN your network

VLAN beginner here - why do you disable RSTP on BR1 in the ROAS example? I'd like to also ask this question. I have an RB5009 running ROSv7 and have seen in comments that maybe having the bridge set in RSTP or MSTP is better? I am a beginner, could someone please explain how this affects things in ...

Re: Why does this work with Cisco and Not with Mikrotik-? [SOLVED]

Sounds like you're off to a good start...here is a Cisco to MikroTik guide for switching and VLANs that may be helpful.

Re: ROSv7 equivalent of /routing/bgp/advertisements print

v7.1.4 is released! And until now, I don't see any movements to correct the lack of "/routing/bgp/advertisements print" equivalent on v7. Please, tell me that I'm simply wrong, and it is just me that doesn't know the command syntax to get that information. I've not come across it. A packe...

BGP add-path

@mikrotik

Came across this in v7 and in the help docs. Is this BGP add path as described in RFC 7911 or does it have something to do with multipath?

Re: Mikrotik hardware shortage - official statement?

For context, some of the clients we work for that use Cisco and Juniper have an average of more than 1-year lead time for most equipment and some are even getting close to a 2-year lead time. So the fact that we can still buy MikroTik inventory at all is pretty amazing compared to the rest of the ne...

Re: BGP with BFD

I agree, this is definitely on the needed feature list for all routing protocols as many ISP networks are using it internally as well as for upstream peerings.

Re: some quick comments on configuring cake

The issue reported was not about IPv6 and cake specifically. It was about IPv6 not working when there was a simple queue (of any type) used with an interface as the "target". Cake works fine with IPv6 with queue trees and interface queues even on 7.1.1, but not with simple queues. My unde...

Re: some quick comments on configuring cake

1) Can someone confirm that 7.2 perhaps has a working ipv6? I can confirm that IPv6 and Cake are working on 7.2rc3. This is a basic test to validate IPv6 connectivity and shaping. Will setup more complex testing now that I have a baseline for a lab. https://stubarea51.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02...

mDNS would be a great addition to enable things like chromecast between subnets. I don't know hwy certain forum 'gurus' actively defend mikrotik for not implementing it. Maybe they don't need this but a lot of us do. They will put up all sorts of reasons why it has not been implemented. Stop defend...

Re: For ISPS: Motivations and methods for implementing fq_codel and cake

For inspiration in general I recommend looking over how preseem does things. I have looked at Preseem, but it is a non-starter for us because of its complete lack of MPLS support. I've been working on testing Cake on a CCR2116 and was able to shape at 10G line rate with no issue - i'm working on ge...
