Is MikroTik capable of this?

Hi Guys,

I have a WRT54G with DD-WRT on it in a network that runs Asterisk+25 POE Aastra phones, and 48 port POE Linksys switch. There has always been problem with the router all the time. It needs reboot.

So, I am not looking into MikroTik right now. Can you tell me RouterBOARD 750 Mikrotik RouterOS v3, Level4 license which goes for $39 is the right thing for me or should I opt for something else given I need this:

-Support QoS, firewall, NAT, remote management to router.
-Support for option 66 (for asstra phone provisions), dnsmasq.
-Are all four ports on this router changeable to WAN or LAN? If so, can I bring in three different ISP to three ports and then use the last port to go to my Linksys switch? I need that for ISP failover and link aggregation!
-On router board VPN access. No pass-through VPN.

Thanks and I appreciate any feedback.

-Support QoS, firewall, NAT, remote management to router.
Yes, all the features are supported, you can make very advanced
configurations.



-Support for option 66 (for asstra phone provisions), dnsmasq.
MikroTik RouterOS can send any DHCP option to client (client should support
it). You need to write DHCP option in hex.

-Are all four ports on this router changeable to WAN or LAN? If so, can I
bring in three different ISP to three ports and then use the last port to go
to my Linksys switch? I need that for ISP failover and link aggregation!
Yes. Each port can be used as separate port.

-On router board VPN access. No pass-through VPN.

MikroTik RouterOS (OS of RouterBOARD) supports server and client,
PPTP
L2TP
PPPoE
OpenVPN
PPP

Also note: Some DHCP options should only be set using /ip dhcp-server network settings:

Option: … Setting:
1 … /ip dhcp-server network netmask
3 … /ip dhcp-server network gateway
6 … /ip dhcp-server network dns-server
15 … /ip dhcp-server network domain
42 … /ip dhcp-server network ntp-server
44 … /ip dhcp-server network wins-server
66 … /ip dhcp-server network next-server
67 … /ip dhcp-server network boot-file-name

All other options should be added in: /ip dhcp-server option.

Yes, these options should be configured in hex.
