Mikrotik My Account login issues
by Philip Loenneker 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hi all, I know this is probably more suited to the Mikrotik forums or support email, but was hoping someone on here might be able to confirm if it's an issue. I seem to be unable to log in to https://mikrotik.com/client/ When I try, it goes to https://mikrotik.com/client/login which has the "recover login name and password" section added to the bottom. I need to get in to check on some CHR licenses. Can someone else please confirm if they can or can't get into the My Account section of the Mikrotik site? Cheers.

Hi All, What 3G/4G cards are people having the best luck with in RouterOS devices? Our go to DUXCEL isn’t a thing anymore as Sierra discontinued the MC7304 I’m told. Dave Browning | Network Engineer P 1300 791 678 Level 1, 12 Railway Tce, Milton QLD 4064

CAPsMAN & Channels
by Dave Browning 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hi All, Has anyone had luck with setting channels in a CAPsMAN config? Whenever I try to set channels, regardless of it be 2 or 5 ghz, all cAP's report "No supported channel" - The location in the configuration is set to Australia and from what I'm reading the frequencies and width's I'm trying to set are all within AU spec. For reference, this particular deployment is CCR CAPsMAN and 30 odd RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD cAP's all running the latest release channel Cheers, Dave Browning | Network Engineer P 1300 791 678 Level 1, 12 Railway Tce, Milton QLD 4064

DNS Resolution Case Response
by Dave Browning 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hi All, Anyone else see this from their Ripe’s when using a Mikrotik as DNS? -------------------- DNS Resolver Mangles Case What does this mean? RFC 1034, which defines DNS, states in Section 3.1 that the letter case of a query (i.e. whether the domain name is spelled in upper case, lower case or a mix of the two) should be preserved. In 2008, a technique to improve the security of DNS was proposed that makes use of this feature. In this technique, each letter in a DNS query is randomly set to upper or lower case. When the reply arrives, the letter case is checked to see whether it corresponds to the query. This prevents an attacker from blindly spoofing replies. This technique never became very popular, but did make it into the DNS stub resolver in the libevent library, which is used by the RIPE Atlas measurement code. Unfortunately, some DNS resolvers do not preserve the letter case of queries. Typically, it is the home router that is at fault. Common DNS resolver software, such as BIND and Unbound, cause no problems. A RIPE Atlas probe that is configured to use a resolver that does not preserve the letter case of the query causes measurements that rely on looking at the target of the measurement in DNS to fail. Measurements that target IPv4 or IPv6 literals are unaffected. How can I fix this? You could try to use a different DNS resolver (if you're in charge of the configuration), or use a different type of (home) router. -------------------- Can confirm the DNS implementation on Mikro doesn’t appear to adhere to section 3.1 of RFC 1034; Resolving against a Mikrotik dig sEnTrIaN.CoM.AU @192.168.1.1 +noall +answer ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6-P1 <<>> sEnTrIaN.CoM.AU @192.168.1.1 +noall +answer ;; global options: +cmd sentrian.com.au<http://sentrian.com.au>. 3600 IN A 52.64.78.207 Resolving against non Mikrotik dig sEnTrIaN.CoM.AU @1.1.1.1 +noall +answer ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6-P1 <<>> sEnTrIaN.CoM.AU @1.1.1.1 +noall +answer ;; global options: +cmd sEnTrIaN.CoM.AU. 3590 IN A 52.64.78.207 Doesn’t really cause issues, just interesting the implementation.

A colleague passed this one to me from the Mikrotik forums (https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=133438) Might be an idea to block access to 20, 80, 8291 externally unless from trusted sources if you don't already.

BGP & Routing Tables
by Shane Clay 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Hi All I’m curious as to how many people are using Mikrotik devices as border routers? We’re using three CCR1072’s at three different datacentres. The problem (as you can probably guess) is the BGP implementation. We’re taking partial routes from peers (IX’s, local networks we work with, our own downstream IaaS platforms, etc). Currently we’re taking around 250k routes in each routers. They are already struggling. Given we don’t take full tables and we have default routes at each site, convergence isn’t necessarily a huge problem (although it is slow). But, things like “routing bgp advertisements print where peer=”ABC”” being used as part of diagnostics are taking over a minute to run and becoming a problem. How many others are actually using these devices in these sorts of scenarios? I’m beginning to think that once you reach this point, these things need to tossed aside for the real hardware which can cope in the real world… Thoughts? Shane

Help required
by Ben Jackson - ELOGIK 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hi all, I'm looking for someone in the Sydney area who can help me with restructuring and rationalising a medium size corporate network. It will require excellent knowledge of site to site VPN's and tunnels, and excellent subnetting and IP addressing skills as well as good 802.11 skills Currently the client has a large multi-site network which has been built quite poorly with too flat a structure. Essentially the network has been built using small business / home networking knowledge and has grown beyond the confines of what is possible with this type of network hierarchy. Whilst I will be managing the project from an operational standpoint, I need someone who I can bounce technical ideas off and liaise with the client periodically to explain technical why's and how's to their IT department. If I can't find the right person locally, I may also consider paying the right candidate per hour / day for remote assistance with the option to travel when absolutely necessary. Please reply to me directly if you are interested or know someone who may be a good fit. Thanks, *BEN JACKSON* Director *M *0404 924745 *E* ben(a)elogik.com.au *W* elogik.com.au <http://www.elogik.com.au/> <http://www.elogik.com.au>

4G service - backup WAN link
by Vaughan Wickham 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi, I've been testing using a 4G service as a backup WAN link in the event that the Main link goes down. I'd chosen ZettaNet. Good pricing. Static IP address. The sites where I will be deploying this solution host servers (mail etc.) and also have IPsec VPN's with other sites; so the static IP address made failover more straightforward. Unfortunately the ZettaNet service has been unavailable a couple of times now over the past few months and they've not been able to provide an explanation so far for the most recent outage. So I'm starting to look around for possible alternative service providers. So far the other service providers I've contacted are only able to provide a dynamic IP address. At the very least this will make DNS updates and IPsec configuration more involved. Questions 1. Has anybody done this where you're hosting internal servers etc. What service provider are you using? Do they provide a static or dynamic IP address? 2. Any comments on using DDNS in A records on DNS and likewise for creating IPsec VPN's. Is it feasible? Thanks Regards, Vaughan
