ok, i will take a look at vlan any recommended link (other the mikrotik wiki)? text or video. link that can be useful for me, having cAP and hAP, hAP being the main device like link for beginner with kind of best practice, i don't want to follow a guide that will leave security or performance on the...

i'm not sure how to create a network diagram but mostly; on the cAP: wireless access point lan1 connected to hAP lan2 connected to dumb switch that provide POE power / access to multiple security camera on the hAP: second wireless access point, main device, dhcp server lan1 connected to isp lan2 con...

after testing around with capsman, i made it work ok but after searching online, i can see that the issue of slowness that affect me, affect a lot other people i went back to what it was for now and i will continue looking into a way to route the wireless data/connection from the cAP into the hAP so...

Spirch

Would the best solution be to use CAPsMAN on the hAP to manage all the wireless interfaces and set the datapath to disable local forwarding? thanks this was it i think. i never looked into capsman, tookme 30-45 minutes to get it up and working, nice to see that all 4 wireless (2 per device) are now...

Spirch

i will look into capsman, thanks

Spirch

So, you re telling that up to now you were using a Dynamic Address List to block Wireless clients accessing Local Resources (Layer 2 Traffic )using the Firewall... And now you want to extend that on CAP... You know that this is possible only by using Bridge Firewall right ? Otherwise you blocked no...

Spirch

The "other device connected to cAP" is connected also wirelessly or to the remaining Ethernet port?

both but to be more specific, i want to make sure some wireless client doesn't get to the remaining port, the other way around for now is not important (would be a nice to have i guess)

Spirch

i want all traffic to go through the hAP The traffic anyways will go through the HAP when it must go through the HAP... HAP is your Router, when traffic needs to be routed will go through it... Other than that, HAP can handle Layer 2 traffic and CAP can do it as well... For example, when 2 wireless...

Spirch

if what i'm trying to do is not possible, my next question would be how to bring dynamic address list from the hAP to the cAP

bringing static address list are easy and firewall rule is easy, just not fun to maintain when thing changes, this is what i'm trying to avoid.

Spirch

I have removed hardware offload on both I don't see the reason to do that... You miss one important thing, the devices within the same Broadcast Domain are communicating to each other in the Layer 2, using MAC addresses. Layer 2 Traffic, does not pass through the Firewall. Layer 3 Traffic on the ot...

hello my setup is pretty straightforward I have a cAP ac connected to a hAP ac^2 by cable the hAP is the main router the cAP is just redirecting all dhcp request to the hAP, cAP mostly behave a like a switch I have removed hardware offload on both and I activated tracking connection in the ip firewa...

Spirch

thanks i will see if i can manage to do that, i never used vlan before so it's a good opportunity to learn

just to be 100% sure; vlan in firewall work with hardware offloading, right?

Spirch

I have this diagram working as of now, i would like to add some restriction / security to it the cAP ac is connected by LAN to the hAP ac^2, the hAP handle all dhcp request I have a bridge in the hAP for all port except the WAN, that bridge got hardware offloading ON because of the NAS because of th...

Spirch

You are missing most of your config in the above posting! Of course you should at least post config of switch, bridge, and IP addresses. As it is now it is impossible to see if this traffic is switched, bridged or routed. sorry i misread your text, here is the relevant section /interface bridge add...

Spirch

one thing i'm noticing is that i can see it in the raw prerouting firewall but not in the input/forward/output

something tell me that I am missing something here ...

Spirch

I might be doing it all wrong but I'm trying to send switch packet to the firewall and it seem that the only way i'm able to do that is to use the switch rule redirect to CPU (everything is in one bridge under hardware offloading) when I create this rule; /interface ethernet switch rule add ports=in...

Spirch

wow 4 pages already, i'm happy to always wait a few days before installing things that can bring down my network or make thing difficult.

people still deploy stuff in mass without testing them?

time to wait a little bit longer and see the evolution of this thread

Spirch

it might be a stupid question but what would be the recommended installation for the cAP ac?

vertical? horizontal? doesn't matter?

thanks

I currently have this setup: RB951G-2HnD (6.43.7 (stable)) in switch mode, wifi in station-bridge connected to cAP ac (6.43.4 (stable)) in switch mode, wifi in ap bridge connected by LAN to hAP ac^2 (6.43.4 (stable)) in router mode, acting as dhcp server I have a device connected by lan to RB951G-2H...

Spirch

i can confirm that the cAP ac can't power on the camera.

Spirch

i'm reading that passive poe could be an issue with ip camera poe, i'm not really interested to get one and having to figure out how to send power to it

if you have one that work, which one it is?

Spirch

I just want to confirm ... the cAP ac that I got have came with DC rated for 24v 1.2A which mean about 28.8 watt max, right? so the cAP ac use for itself 13W (based on https://mikrotik.com/product/cap_ac ) it say also that the maximum is 24W does it mean that the maximum POE out is 11W ? I want to p...

Spirch

What you've set using limit=1,5:packet is a limit of not more than 1 packet per second where 5 packets may come initially and still be accepted. If the idea was to permit one packet every 5 seconds, the correct syntax is limit=1/5s,1:packet . Every interval , netwatch sends icmp echo requests 1 sec...

Spirch

Actually what you created is a simple bridge. You can remove the dhcp-relay as it is not doing anything. DHCP and Firewall will be handled by your Router. If you want a dhcp-relay, you might start here. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DHCP_Relay hmm good to know one less thing to have in t...

WIFI on the cAP ac is WAY better, i dont need to update my hAP ac2 for now since the wifi on it only turn on when the hAP is down and that shouldn't happen often or never if you can tweak it more, that would be nice but for now this local speed is more than my internet which is all i can ask for now...

Spirch

Oh. You maybe meant the client received 127 as its address... If so, set the pool like "192.168.175.2-192.168.175.126".

really?

i was under the impression that the dhcp server would know not to give some ip

Spirch

I have this setup: address: address = 192.168.175.1/25 network = 192.168.175.0 pool: addresses = 192.168.175.0/25 dhcp-server - networks: address=192.168.175.0/25 gateway 192.168.175.1 somehow the dhcp server gave to a client the broadcast address 192.168.175.127 i'm using 6.33.3 where is my mistake...

Spirch

Seems like "/ip cloud" auto time set, or "/system clock" auto time-zone detection.

You can disable both.

I unchecked both and now the "connect" doesn't happen so it was one of them or both

thanks!

Spirch

I just upgraded from 6.30.4 to 6.32.3

Untitled.png

can anyone tell me what this is? i never had that before

Spirch

does mikrotik router support that?

if not is there a plan for it?

Spirch

i'm talking about new generation that that would replace

http://routerboard.com/RB951G-2HnD

and / or

http://routerboard.com/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN

something that would include let say "ac" into the wireless by default (and anything else that would help)

target: home and office product

Spirch

I have a RB951G-2HnD with v6.13 and firmware v3.14

is there any reason for me to update to 6.27 if I currently have no issue?

this is a simple home router setup
