Best is my first post
My question is simple server recommend
2000 users to work
management software mikrotik level 6
is a bit difficult to choose the appropriate model machine
incompatibility of hardware and software
welcome all the answers I might recommend

Depends a lot on what sort of throughput you intend to deliver and the method in which you deliver it.. (hotspot / pppoe / static IP + routing).
Then you need to consider if you’re doing rate-limiting on the mikrotik or elsewhere along with any firealling and QoS 
The more information you can provide the easier it is to determine what will work for you.
thank you very much for responding quickly
the configuration of the server will

I’m thinking of buying a dell server that supports hope
mikrotik and not have problems in the future
If you’re looking at a dell server, I’d recommend the R210 as something that’s guaranteed to work with RouterOS v5 (I know this because we use some of them)
Couple of other questions you need to ask yourself:
Would be a good idea to provision 2 of these devices on the same network and setup pppoe servers on both, that way they load balance based on CPU utilisation and whichever device can respond the fastest takes the session.
Terribly sorry for the sideline, riber316, but I’ve got a quick question for omega-00. Hopefully it will help you as well if you go down the Dell route.
I’ve got a couple R210s, and they’re working just fine once installed (and can trivially do 2000 concurrent users with PCQ and light firewalling), but I made a thread regarding initial install a while back and never got an answer:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/long-cable-mode/169/1
Any insight? The workaround doesn’t scale well when I’d prefer to have Dell ship to where the server will eventually be racked.
Again, sorry for the sidebar.
Hi Fewi, we’ve had the same problems with many different servers (due to random SAS backplanes etc that aren’t recognised by the mikrotik installer, yet work fine afterwards).
We actually have a dedicated machine for running up the hard drives and we leave normally have a backup drive with basic IP config and no licence for each machine so if we need to we can login via remote management console and tell the machine to boot off the second.
I’ve asked one of the guys here to post in response to your other thread as he’s the one who most frequently runs these off for us
thanks for your promt reply

I have to use some recommended hdd
to avoid problems mikrotik 5.1
erher interface 1 link - 50mb internet gateway
ether 2 configuration interface ppp_server
Customer QoS
1 256k/512k profile
2 512k/1000k profile
3 512k/1500k profile
customers are expected to be connected at the same time onlie 500 or 1500
were you I would recommend any hardware configuration or

Thank you very much indeed. It’ll work if it has to, but our deployment model doesn’t really fit it. We ship to the deployment site and configure there.
I’ll ticket this to MT support and see what I can find out.
