RouterOS L4 as BGP??

Thu Dec 29, 2011 6:35 pm

Dear All,

I've one linux box for managing users (authentication, bandwidth, IPs etc.) in my network. Now, I want to do multi-homing, thus require BGP. I would like to use RouterOS for BGP purpose and route traffic from my linux box to cloud through RouterOS.

Now the question is can I use Level 4 license for this purpose. And will it be effected by number of users behind linux box..?

Thank you.

Rahul

Thanks for your reply buddy.

But, I've already been to that page & didn't find answer to my question. As per this link, L4 supports only 200 PPPOE sessions & Hotspot users. But, I don't want to use RouterOS as Hotspot or PPPoE server. I just want to use it as BGP Router & user management will be done by my linux box sitting between network/users & RouterOS. So, it shouldn't be effected by number of users dialing to my linux box. Does license level also effect IPs being routed via RouterOS when used as BGP router..?

No, it will only affect the number of active HotSpot users, active User Manager sessions and number of tunnels (excluding EoIP tunnels).
