Hi folks,
I am sort of new to the Mikrotik world, although I have attented a MTCINE class to better understand it. Regarding networking, however, I kind of know what I am doing.
I am testing a RB1100 to be used on a MPLS backbone along with Cisco 6524 routers already in place. I have a testbed with a mini-scenario in place with 2x 6524 and the RB1100. All OSPF/BGP/LDP/MPLS configs are in place and seem to be working fine. VPNV4 routes are being exchanged and packets forwarded (ping from Cisco VRF to Mikrotik VRF, ping from Mikrotik VRF to Cisco VRF, pign from linux connected to Mikrotik to linux connected to Cisco, etc etc, all going through the VRF).
After all conectivity is setup and running, I went to start on IPERF tests (linux-to-linux) and that’s when Ive hit an invisible wall.
No matter what I do, there is no way I can pass TCP traffic through it. IPERF using TCP will connect to server, but traffic does not pass. If I run IPERF using UDP it goes fine, no drops, etc. I tried then to test an FTP connectiong between both linux boxes and had the same problem. I am able to establish the connection, but no traffic goes through.
I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong, but I cannot see what it is. Conntrack is turned off, there’s no firewall rules, mangles, etc etc etc.
(oh, I have tried using an 450G instead of the RB1100 and the same thing happened. The 450G works fine as a customer concentration device on my residential access network)
I would appreciate any input on this, I am about to give up on Mikrotik.
