Re: IoT question - wifi

I agree that it mightn't be necessary in this case, but if you want multiple VLANs on one SSID without using RADIUS, grab a Grandstream access point - they're cheap and support PPSK. Put it on a trunk port on your Mikrotik. I'm designing a large network for some resorts and I'll have one SSID for ev...

Re: Inquiry on 40G Core Switch Compatibility

Mikrotik don't have any 12x 40G switches, but FS.com can make custom DAC cables (FS at one end, Mikrotik at the other). You may prefer to keep everything the same brand to simplify management, but it'll work. Mikrotik are leaning towards SFP28 (25GB) and QSFP28 (100GB). If 25GB is enough, you could ...

Re: S+DA0003 vs XS+DA0003

The XS+DA0003 supports SFP28, so 25Gbps.
The S+DA0003 is discontinued, the XS+DA0003 is its replacement.
Both are passive cables, so not supported on the RB4011 (although it worked for me with an S+DA0001).

Re: Voice Vlan

While it would be useful to see an LLDP-MED based auto-voice VLAN like other brands, on some CRS models you could use a switch rule to catch the phones. Most manufacturers would only have a couple of MAC prefixes. On the older ones, you'd need to enter the MAC address for every phone.

Re: Best Routerboard for IPSec on DSL

I haven't used them, but the new RB750Gr3 (hEX) would be a cheap drop-in replacement.

Re: What ISP software are people using?

We use Duxtel's Internet Commander (http://www.duxtel.com.au/duxtel_internet_commander.html) to manage a hotspot in a motel, but it can do all those things too. It's not perfect, but Mike at Duxtel is always very helpful when we have any issues.

That's right, the DAC has built in SFP+. I'm sure you could sell the S+85DLC03D's on eBay, or hold onto them for another job.

Syntax for labels

Is there any documentation, or can anyone give me an example showing the syntax for device labels? I want to do something like this: [ros_command(":put [/system identity get name]")] OR [Device_Name] (ie, if it's an ROS device, get it's identity, otherwise use it's name in The Dude). Thanks

Without knowing more about your configuration and Internet connection, it's hard to say what the problem is. I wouldn't use 1-5 or 6-10 for the WAN though because they're connected to the CPU via a switch, which means you're limited to 1Gbps for the whole switch. Port 11 is a good choice. Have a loo...

Re: rb1100ahx2 PoE in voltage and amperage

I = W / V
So 1.6A = 20W / 12V
Or 0.83A = 20W / 24V

In the other direction
W = V x I
12W = 15V x 0.8A
Which is under spec (20W according to InoX)
