I have recently taken over a network built with mikrotik completely.
I’ve noticed irregular pings times, some loosed packets, … and specially that some nodes are configured differently while doing the same job.
The scenario is quite simple:
Internet is transmitted through a dedicated bridge to the switcher of the first tower. It has a mikrotik-3 radios-sectorial antennas, mikrotik with omni antenna and a couple of dedicated links (mikrotiks in a 19dbi in-a-box in both sides).
From the 1st tower, another dedicated bridge connect the switcher to the 2nd tower with the same sectorials configuration.
All the trafic start/end in a linux-PC, 2 network cards (wan/lan) with a commercial solution software doing proxy, bandwidth and access control, located in first tower.
I found that one bridge is configured as bridgeap+station, the other one has a strange “stating wds” config , another is in bridge mode but wds, wlan1 and ethernet in the bridge, …
I know a lot of network teory and very experienced in linux and iptables, but that’s my first contact with mikrotik router os and routerboard hardware, so I would ask you, people more experienced that me, a couple of simply questions:
- Best config for a pair of mikrotiks to do a dedicated (transparent, no firewall, no routing) bridge. Nstreme avalaible.
- Best config for a sectorial station (ap bridged?) with all the clients in station mode.
- Any special tunning for the bridge transmitting the inet access? (cable-modem, fixed ip, 1500 MTU, 50 mbits)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
