MikroTik

OKNET

Thank you for link. However, in my (old and working) setup, I don't configure all those ipsec things..... just profile and proposal, then just add the IPsec secret on GRE interface to make it use IPsec (ike phase are completed, SA are installed etc.etc.) The setup shown on mikrotik site seems to bui...

OKNET

Sometimes , but more frequently, I find my Mikrotik to Mikrotik gre/ipsec tunnel down and it comes up again very hardly.... Both routerboard are behind ISP router NAT in what they called DMZ , or "exposed hosts" , prctically all public ip incoming traffic (ports and protocols) is forwarded...

OKNET

Ok , but once text is copied (from notepad, word, wordpad, etc. ) it gaves unwanted behavior online when pasted into winbox, all’ is fine via network connections like telnet or ssh,
Where is the real issue ??

OKNET

Thanks for replies, Well, actually an hotspot is managing about 300 wifi users on 50mt coverage radius, over two old asus rt ac1200 wifi router (how bad ? they seems don't care about...) They asked me for replacing Asus with AX devices: since customer is more worried by cost rather than performance ...

OKNET

What would you use as AP to serve 200+ users ?
Switch chip/CPU is the same and specs are very similar....
Radio coverage differences ?

OKNET

Jaclaz: of course I would repair myself (I have a litle skill from old times, despite SMT requires some new tools), and yes, in many cases repairing is not possible or not worthing. But is always a pleasure when you repair some tens or hundred € devices with few cents of components, sometimes it hap...

OKNET

Have you considered proper install techniques and protections, so that no such repairs are needed?

Sure, I follow guidelines for avoiding faults, fortunately all of these faulty boards don't came from my installations

OKNET

I have many rb-xxx wireless boards with faulty eth ports as they're used in outdoor units (atmospheric events, electrostatic discharge etc.) the rest of board is ok
Does anyone know the common faulty device , ethernet transformer, ethernet IC (thinking about replacement) ?
Thanks

OKNET

I have two RB3011UiAS

Can I upgrade to 128MB ?

OKNET

I have an old rb922 with a faulty ethernet port, but it doesn't matter, I use it via SFP
Can I netinstall via SFP or ethernet is mandatory ?

OKNET

Well, fiber is arrived.
Locally tested @ 950 Mbps.
Over SXT5ac radio link I can't get over 230Mbps , is it an expected speed for the described radio link ?

OKNET

Thanks
Installing and splicing optical fiber is a part of my job, unfortunately radio link is because of public property road to be crossed....
I'll go for 60GHz radios.

OKNET

My RB3011 wan is connected to ISP vdsl router via a pair of SXT5ac (claiming 650Mbps-80MHz/2S/SGI radio channel), more than enough for actual 20 Mbps internet speed :( :( I'm planning to switch to a 1Gbps optical fiber ISP connectivity, what's the rigth hardware choice for a new radio link (120mt) s...

OKNET

Yeah, I'm already doing where possible.
There are weaker RBs hardware where V7 sits them down....

OKNET

Ok as I do it by CLI (script) I can run /system package update set channel=long-term /system package update check-for-updates It returns "system is already up to date" But what if a newer stable version is released ? Does it stuck "already up to date" into long-term old one ?

OKNET

Image is missing. What is the problem? Latest v6 still shows "new version available", but there is no new version?

Yes, Normis
Current 6.49.10 says “new version available “
Download and install
It ends with the same 6.49.10 still saying “new version available “

OKNET

When, after a failure connectivity is back, gre/ipsec tunnel rise time depends on what ?
Between two sites I experience time from 40 seconds to 4 minutes, despite keepalive is at 10s default.

OKNET

Probably I haven't understood Mikrotik intentions but... same behavior with 6.49.10
What's the purpose to have two different versions with the same filename ????

OKNET

Thanks for clarifying.

OKNET

Can we state a MT switch running swos is a L2 switch while the same switch running ros is a L3 one instead ??

OKNET

Ubiquiti AirFiber working principle is a pair of dishes each side, one for TX and one for RX (two radio links)
Is something-like achievable with Mikrotik devices ?
Or also bonding two 802.11ac links together in very different frequencies, using two devices per side ?

OKNET

P.S. I'm talking about PtP link.

OKNET

A radio link , expecially in wi-fi band urban environment is normally subjected to interference expecially with high SNR and weaker signals. I have few ac radio links with roubust signal (less than -50dBm), that are rock-solid stuck H24 at 866Mbps-80MHz/2S/SGI despite the traffic passing by Others w...

OKNET

When TX/RX rate of a wireless interface (i.e. 260Mbps-80MHz/2S/SGI) is changing continously, is it symptom of an unstable radio link ?
Noisy, crowded channel etc ??
Thanks

OKNET

Well... changing wireless protocol from NV2 to 802.11 really does the trick.... Both link stabilized @ 866.6Mbps-80MHz/2S/SGI 95-98% CCQ. Latency drops dramatically and bandwidth really increases. One must forget to use CRS112 as bandwidth server , still 6Mbps@100%cpu Tried from a RB3011 to latest o...

OKNET

Thanks for reply,

OKNET

Well.... my fault: actually RSTP IS configured on bridge anyway logging as-is shows nothing when I connect Vlan20 switch. removing RSTP there are no more disconnections with all interfaces connected and all traffic per vlan is fine. The fact I lose Vlan99 when RSTP is enabled makes me think to a loo...

OKNET

No, the problem is that on the left side there are two physically separated networks, with different switches and subnets, unless there is some closing path I'm not aware of....
Bridge on CRS has no STP configured

OKNET

https://ibin.co/7XeYvgJ1wdiW.jpg Goal : forward tagged Vlan99 across switched and use Vlan99 itself to manage both CRS112 , also tag Vlan20 across switches to let few PC to use a different subnet (untagged traffic) coming from a different switch. I made this configuration in both CRS112 : /interfac...

OKNET

So basically we have the options to: -- simply create a bridge, add an interface as untagged port, and add a Vlan interface bonded to a phisical port with the pvid declared, as "trunk" tagged interface. -- create a bridge , add the untagged port specifying their pvid in adding phase, enabl...

OKNET

So, is V7 definitely a bad choice for this machine ?

OKNET

RB3011 have two switch chips capable of Vlan managing
SFP port is connected to cpu instead.
How should I manage a Vlan having untagged ports on eth switch and tagged on SFP ?

OKNET

Cpu utilization (or at least displayed utilization) is far less with ros6
Anyway , even a simple winbox terminal paste session shot it at 100%
I have to use them for switching but with few tagged vlan, let's see.....

OKNET

Just installed 7.10.2 on CRS112-8P-4S-IN
Cpu is stuck around 50% with ANY configuration yet.
Same on three devices.

Is it better to stay with ros V6 ??

OKNET

I have three crs112 connected via tagged vlan, but winbox on a same vlan PC cannot see them.
How to achieve this ?
Should I add switch1-cpu as untagged member of that vlan on each CRS ?

OKNET

I had to cover about 100m radius in a obstacle-free park.
Is Cap XL ac suitable for this once installed inside a plastic weatherproof box ?
Should I install it horizontally (like ceiling-mount ) or even vertically ? (what's the machine pattern ? )

Thanks

OKNET

Confirm, I update a 6.49.7 to 6.49.8 and this last one (the website one ) has the “new version available” “bug”.
Where can I find the latest ex-stable 6.49.8 npk ??

OKNET

And this whole thread is about... ? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yes , honestly it's the first time in years of automatic updates :) Having the website "choice" between a stable and a long-term version that downloads the same file is samewhat weird.... Honestly I thought to a V6 EO...

OKNET

Automatic updates is risky as well as straightforward pretty useful, there are different way of thinking.
I use it in my machines without issue for now (crossed fingers ), Mikrotik seems quite reliable in this…

OKNET

I’ll give it a try.
I’m asking why this behavior in two machine only, probably they have been updated lately when the long-term was left as the only package available.

OKNET

We're here not to kidding anyone, explaining something that is SO clear in explainer mind, is one of most difficult task when discussing online. You said there are TWO version of 6.49.8 , so I understand two .npk files. On mikrotik "software" V6 section there are two columns: long-term and...

OKNET

Well, I actually select nothing, my script does : /system package update check-for-updates once :if ( [get status] = "New version is available") do={ install } If the "wrong" 6.49.8 is already installed (you said 1684760871 asks to upgrade) where can I get the other 6.49.8 if the...

OKNET

@rextended Not clear: stable and long-term download link point to the same file : https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/6.49.8/routeros-mipsbe-6.49.8.npk !! Why all my other 6.49.8 machines say "already up to date" ? Do you mean my two RB saying "new version available" have long...

OKNET

As per subject :

A pair of RB951 detect new version despite the same is listed above.

Same behavior checking/updating via script.

Any idea ?

OKNET

Regarding revision 3 of this switch, this is what support said:

"Revision 3 comes with larger flash storage - 32MB."

So I'm sure it's not fixed if that's the only thing that has changed on it.

It would be interesting to know if issue is still present on REV.3

OKNET

I would buy immediately 354 (poe or not) but this issue made me buy Aruba or Ubiquiti units without take the risk of try one. It's still not clear how many 354 have been sold and how many have the issue , how many get issue running ros and how many swos. I can't believe Mikrotik doesn't know about. ...

OKNET

Well, i’ll give “both addresses” a try as triple-suggested by Holvoetn

My further ask was about some other mechanism other than PCC to achieve load balancing with “easy efficiency”.

OKNET

First Times, using “both addresses and ports” PCC, as single LAN user, a speed test over three 100Mbps wans always given near 300 Mbps result (this is what I mean by “bandwidth aggregation”), and all lan users were spread over three wan. I.e. two concurrent users could reach 150Mbps. Lately, https s...

OKNET

Well , actually “both addresses and ports” breaks https because the same user points to wanted https server by multiple ip addresses sources (our wans) and it doesn’t like it. Src-address is safe as just one wan is used by lan user so multiple users traffic can be spread over available wans but no “...

OKNET

PCC with "both addresses and ports" I used many times works like a charm but breaks https connections. Then I included !port443 into pcc rules but, since almost all traffic today is https, this mechanism is deprecated. What is nowadays the best load balancing/aggregation method to share mu...

OKNET

I don't have any channel configuration. The fact you have an SSID configuration that matches a RADIO MAC address, means that configuration, thus that SSID will be used only on THAT radio. So 5GHz radio = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:01 = config01 = SSID_A 2.4GHz radio = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:02 = config02 = SSID_B simpl...

OKNET

That was, basically, what I suggested you to do...... :o You have chosen two provisioning rules , based on hw-supported-modes rather than mac-address of each radio.... Mine was: add action=create-dynamic-enabled master-configuration=cfg_5g name-format=identity radio-mac=6C:3B:6B:xx:xx:xx add action=...

OKNET

You must set a frequency for that channel, and make sure the relative extension channels don't fall in a restricted portion of band denied by your country regulatory domain (if set) or out of band at all.

OKNET

I have simply created two provisioning rules that match each Radio MAC (thus each band inside the same AP)

Each rule points to a different Master Configuration with its own SSID (no need for slave configuration, I use them for multiple SSID inside the same band if needed)

OKNET

In Registration Table you will find the connected clients , not the APs.

OKNET

Completely different subnets. However, I found a simple workaround: Since recent Ros versions, hostnames are allowed as L2TP client target, I've set an arbitrary domain name pointing to both addresses : /ip dns static add address=<ISP1_public_address> name=myl2tpserver.fail add address=<ISP2_public_...

Is PoE switch used for cameras purpose only ?
If so , you can assign a different LAN subnet (included the routerboard ethernet port it connects to) and filter its outgoing traffic in firewall.

OKNET

It would be interesting to know if other products using LCD are affected this way.....

OKNET

Always good to know about others experience
So hap-ac2 is comparable if not better with 3011 ??
So it should be better than HEX or HEXs ?

Or is it quality vs price involved in your comparation ?

Sindy, I admit CAPsMAN philosophy is a little tricky for unexperienced like me.

OKNET

Squeeze,
What about RB3011 in the list ?

OKNET

From what I understood, NO-local forwarding (or manager forwarding) causes the system to create new interfaces that pratically reflect the wireless interfaces of each AP. This requires a bridge (and only a bridge) to be declared as datapath in manager configuration. As I use VLANs , how can I set da...

OKNET

Thank you Artz, One thing is not clear to me from that wiki, look at "Port based VLAN" and "InterVLAN Routing" examples: The bridge, the ingress-vlan-translation and the egress-vlan-tag are the same. They differ in Vlan membership declaration. Port based VLAN uses "/interfac...
