I've updated to 6.38.3, and changed the config so that the bridge is no longer needed. That used to form part of an RSTP ring, but no longer does, so I can now route between the two interfaces. We'll see if the issue returns.

Skaught

And it's happening again, right now. I'll power cycle it as soon as I can get back into it.

So this happened tonight on a Cloudcore: Screen Shot 2017-03-03 at 12.17.42 AM.png The router was totally unresponsive, and stopped passing data. The issue resolved itself as quickly as it appeared, and we didn't have to reboot the router at any point. The physical interfaces all dropped to 0kps, th...

Several of us on the team here have been fighting with this. We need a method for admins to be able to connect into Mikrotiks from the road and telecommuting and now OSX only supports L2TP/IPSEC.

I have a test setup using RSTP that is as follows: SwitchA connects to Switches B, C, D. B<>C C<>D All traffic is flowing from A to B and A to D, but C only gets traffic via B or D.

OLSR runs on ethernet according to OLSR.

HWMP+ is for bridged networks is it not?

OSPF is failing miserably on our large network. Some issue with Mikrotik and timers apparently. Even with the bugs solved, OSPF is very slow and does not account for link quality.

My 10+ years of working with 802.11 and 802.11a/b/g/n agrees. PPS is a greater indicator of performance than throughput.

I am trying to to find a way to queue packets in MT and UBNT gear based on PPS, not kbs. No luck yet.

I too am very interested in this.

Dynamic VLANS aka Mac based vlans that use radius or another central DB would be killer for a large campus I support.

-10! Must be nice!

We have had our mikrotik gear below -40C. It all works great except for the RB532.

The RB532A was generally ok but the older RB532s would have problems in the cold.

I am starting to get the feeling that the only way to know what breaks and what doesn't would for MT to dig through all the source code and trace it out or something.

But as I found, Conntrack only added ~5-15% to the cpu in our environment. I know for me this is now a much less important question.

We have one system that makes changes in ROS dynamically via SSH. Something between them is broken.

Going illegal is not an option aside from the obvious issues. We are co-located with Industry Canada at one of our sites. They would figure it out pretty quick!

Skaught

I tested it and simple queues worked fine for us. But your mileage may vary.

A Turbo link on RB411 or better should be able to do what you need plus a bit more.

My question is, does RoS 4.2 support any super A features?

We tried it on 3.30 with limited success.

Skaught

We also found NStreme under 4.2 very unstable and simply downgraded to 3.3 and it fixed it.

Skaught

Our RB1000 cannot keep up anymore. 2500 subscribers is too many.

We have offloaded as many tasks as possible off the router and if we start taking more tasks away from it, it will no longer a router.

What can I use that is faster?

Skaught

Does IP accounting or policy routing rely on conntrack?

Skaught

Perhaps features that rely on tracking should go grey when tracking is off. Just like if I disable an Interface, it's IPs go grey.

Is there anything not under the firewall menu that will stop working?

Like queues or accounting?

I was at that site today installing a new breaker panel and noticed that when hard coded to 100 half on both ends I get errors on the LED display on the switch.

I see this in the log in the switch:

FFI: port 22-Excessive CRC/alignment errors. See help.
FFI: port 22-Excessive late collisions.

Auto negotiate does not seem to work properly either.

I have a RB333 installed with about 180 feet of cable and a 28V high end regulated power supply. In 100mbit half duplex it works generally but we sometimes loose the eth link and have to reboot it. If we enable full duplex about 15% of pings are dropped. The radio we used to have in the role was non...

We did not mention anything about OSPF. We have not even tried that yet. And also we are comparing a Star-OS WAR 566mhz board to the RB333. So far the RB333 is faster. We also had to set one end of the link's ethernet to half duplex or we would see packet loss on the ethernet. It is about a 200ft ru...

We have a pair of RB333 as our main feed with 1700 2-5mbit clients and it works great. But we had to use nstreme with polling to get the link to work properly but now it is the fastest SBC I have ever used. Much faster than WAR, RB500 etc.

After reading the specs for the new RB333 boards, we were very impressed. Our StarOS WAR boards (IXP425) were beginning to see high latency and dropped packets at peak hours, and we were starting to shop around for options. Our WAR link was running in turbo mode, using Ubiquiti XR5 radio cards and S...

Has anyone tried a single standard antenna with a combiner? I would be likely using the hyperlink one (seems to be the only one I have found) and put them in separate bands. One in 5.3 and the other up in 5.8.

Would a system with 2 quad core xeon processors be supported?

Skaught

What processors will work? I am upgrading my current core router from a p4 2.6ghz as I need more speed to support L7 packet inpection.

Will dual core processors or multiple processors help?

If not, what is the fastest processor option on the market today for using with MT?

In my case I do not know if the cold is the root casue, but it is certainly what casues the problem.

I have put some pieces of fibreglass insulation in the cabinets to see if the boards can keep themselves warm but not too warm.

Now that we are not -40 anymore all works flawlessly.

One SR5 each.

When they go down I loose the entire AP from the ethernet side.

That is false, wind chill only effects wet things like animals. Dry things like electronics are not effected by wind chill.

Nearly half my RB532 go down at -20.

Those pictures are impressive but usually condions like that only appear at about -5 - -10 C. Any colder and it gets to dry to form ice like that.

Skaught

I have a problem that about half of my RB500 series start to reboot and lock up at -20C.

I have 12 RB532 deployed right now and usually about 6 of them will go down at -20C.

What would be s e x y is two options related to this. - The ability to set the RTS to 1 in non-MT clients and then MT gives CTS in a round robin fashion. Hence pseudo polling but with any 802.11 CPE. - A windows client program that will allow packing packets right in windows. I am sure I could talk ...

Option 4 is what I've been setting up on our WISP Route an IP block to the MT Router (AP) big enough to give one address to each client + however many spare you think you might need soon, assign one of these to the router. Then get the CPE to PPPoE into the MT Router and hand out one of the adresse...

MikroTik Refuses to do give us a MAC NAT option, so WDS is your only option. (dig through the forum, I've made a number of comments about it) I thought I listed several other options? setup your AP as WDS dynamic (Bridge1 as the default), set CPE as station WDS, on the station bridge E1 and W1, on ...

We have outgrown 802.11b on our network using Star-OS and Tranzeo with about 1500 clients. So we have decided to build a 802.11a/Nstreme network for our next 3000 clients. I have a few challenges with the exact deployment we will use. I want to be able to use full Class C's (Or larger) to make sure ...

Whoa, that is a neat protocol. IT would only help one way since our CPEs are all non-mikrotik.

But something to keep in mind.

Would it work if only one end is MT?

Do traffic shapping on the client router insted of the AP this will stop unwanted traffic pialing up on the wireless side, put a cap on the amount of p2p sessions per sec. I have 1200 802.11b client CPEs made by tranzeo owned by my clients I must support. Replacing them with mikrotik would cost nea...

I am trying to find a way to do queues based on packets per second. It seems that is the limiting factor in 802.11b and if we can control that, then we will be in a better position.

Unfortunately all the queuing I can find is based on kb/s not pps.

I can shape packets per second and it stops DOS type attacks, P2P induced latency and such but it makes the internet choppy. You get all your packets in the first /14 second and them spend 3/4 of a second with no connection then it repeats, every second. Works but is kinda a dis disjointed experienc...

No idea?

Skaught

is it supported in router OS?

I am actually looking for a way to do pps shaping.
