Having problems with eoip

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I’ve setup a eoip bridge, I’m using two outdoor RB230’s with version 2.8.24 and parabolic dishes.

Here is the configuration:
mainClient1 ------ mainRouter 1 ------(wireless)------stationRouter2 ------ stationClient2

I can ping between lan workstations without a problem or routers.

The local lan use 10.180.180.8 as dns and 10.180.180.3 as the gateway. when I go to the station client it connects with no problem
to the local lan at the main, but when trying to share files or go on the internet It will not work.

Can anyone give me a clue as to why it is so slow or what I may have missed.

This is how everything is configured right now.

be careful with your language, you can get banned, you know?

I don’t understand your problem, what is slow? You see 12Mbps from one router to other and you use Rb230 - this is normal. You shouldn’t be running Btest from the router, it will eat up all CPU resources and you will see these “slow” speeds (which actually are not bad at all).

  1. RB230 has too little CPU power to handle your Btest
  2. Do not ever run BTest from the router to router. Run it from windows to windows, like this:

windows → router 1 ~~~ router2 → windows 2

first of all thanks for the reply, I’ll tell you what my problem is in detail. give me a phone number so I can call. Money is no object I have a real job and want to get this over with so I can make continue with my real work. I will pay no pb. Just let me get on with what I really do.

Create a /30 network for the EoIP link only.. Bind one of the /30 addresses to one end of the tunnel’s EoIP ineterface, then set the other address to the remote end’s EoIP interface.. Setup the EoIP tunnel to connect to the newly created IP address and with matching tunnel ID’s.. Make sure the EoIP interface and all the other ethernet interfaces you want bridged are added to the the bridge port. The wlan interfaces should NOT be bridged.

Example

MasterUnit (MU) RemoteUnit (RU)

EoIP 10.50.0.1/30 ------------ EoIP 10.50.0.2/30

the IP addresses for the EoIP interfaces are only to establish the tunnel so it does not need to be part of your main network addressing scheme.

I’ve had problems like the CPU pegged @ 100% when using an IP address not assigned to the EoIP interface.
