Is it possible between 2 RB-133s? Anything I should aware of?
TIA.
Nvm that I’ve got it run. I can get 500ish kByte/s TCP (FTP) with this setup. Although it’s only on test environment at the moment.
Be aware that there is an L2TP bug such that if you lose the wireless link the L2TP session will hang and could cause the routerboard to hang, requring a manual reboot. If you use PPTP this won’t happen.
there is a bug in l2tp when you lose the underlying connection? I’ve been using it for a long time with not many issues. I do notice DHCP client gets hosed up if you lose the connection, and the l2tp tunnel thinks its up but it isn’t, but it doesnt hang anything. I have a routerboard 532 in my truck that makes an l2tp connection anytime there is wireless available and it doesnt crash that often.
Ouch! Luckily the setup has not been deployed yet.
I’ll change it to PPtP ASAP. Thanks heaps for the warning.
