Would it be reasonable to think that 15 RB532A and 2 Pentium can be configured in a MESH type network using OSPF and be reliable. Where the 2 pentium are the gateway to the outside and BGP is been used against some CISCOs.

The 15 RB532A will be doing PPPoE at remote locations.

Thanks

AFAIK this will not create a real mesh-wlan-network like the OSLR-based ones. But if there are redundant links it should be working though.

Mag,

the MESH I would like to create is not wireless. Reach of the Routers is siting on a diferent building and providing PPPoE service to wired DSL type customers. The Router are connected to multiple other routers via a Wireless loop or Wired loop depending on the situation. The Wireless loop are seperate equipment that provide a etherne bridge.

I connected together 8 RB532 and trun OSPF on all of these at my lab. and connected one to the Internet. OSPF is unable to calculate adequate path to all the routers and default route is not been propagated at all. I have tried this with version 2.9.12.

Does anyone know is this can be done reliably. I will keep working on its configuration if it is doable. I have done this many times with CISCO equipment, and it works fine. But not quite yet wirh Mikrotik. Any help would be appresiated.

I am now convinces that 2.9.12 routing via OSPF is also broken. I will try 2.9.11 to see if the basic features of OSPF work in that version.

Does anyone know of an old version that works?

thanks

puh, it was back in 2.8.x times when i last did OSPF with MT.
Will have to do soon again...

Maybe 2.9.15 will will solve the problems.

I tried 2.9.11 to 2.9.14 and the best was 2.9.12, but not grate. Particularly the BGP implementation. It is buggy.
