Ethernet over Twisted Pair
by Matt Hall 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Good news on the Proscend PS180-T SFP certification. What’s the verdict on using twisted pair in place of cat 5/6 where re-cabling isn’t possible? Can I use 2 MK routers with an sfp module in each to achieve this? Would I use pppoe or some other config? Is the above sfp module appropriate for the job? Thankyou, Matt > On 17 Sep 2019, at 12:00, public-request(a)talk.mikrotik.com.au wrote: > > Proscend PS180-T SFP

Proscend PS180-T now comes with S041/S043 compliance
by Mike Everest 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

September is the month of surprises! We received physical lab test reports today showing compliance of Proscend PS180-T SFP form factor VDSL modems to all relevant AU regulations - so they can now be used for public telecommunications services (including NBN) AND you can admit to doing so! ;-) And so long as they don't melt the SFP cage casings :-}

CRS317-1G-16S+RM stock testing results :)
by Aidan 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Good afternoon Public mail list subscribers :) I hope everyone is well, I am just sending out an email to update everyone on the issue that a small batch of the CRS317-1G-16S+ where having with links set to/negotiated at 10Gbps that Shane brought up on the 17th of August. Since this was brought up Duxtel has been in contact with Mikrotik and removed these products from the Duxtel online shop to prevent anyone else having the same issues just until we were able to test if the units we currently have in stock experience the same issue. We are happy to announce that the units we have in stock have not shown any signs of the issue and should be available to purchase again :) Moving forward we plan to test each of these devices once we receive them from Mikrotik until we can confirm that this manufacturing error is no longer an issue, if you do have a unit that has been effected by this we would recommend upgrading to router OS 6.46beta40+(just for troubleshooting) as Mikrotik has indicated that there should be a fix for this issue in it as well as netinstalling the device. If these troubleshooting steps do not work please open up a RMA case with the distributor you brought the device of. Regards Aidan Goggin :)

Lipo packs for routerboards? :)
by Damien Gardner Jnr 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Hi folks, I’m in the process of turning an RB2011 (barebones board, 3D printing a case and adding antennas etc) Into a replacement for my long-standing 2*mAP ‘Travel Router’ setup. Since I’m printing my own case, and power switching from car to hotel etc has always been a pain point, I figured internal batteries with 4-5hr life would be fantastic. 4-5s of Lipo would fit the job nicely, but then how to charge them? Got the idea from an awesome ‘UPS’ board that I use on my raspberry pi’s, but 5v is a lot simpler to step up to from 3.7v, than 12v is :) After a lot of googling, I’m not finding much in the way of BMS’s that support balance charging and supplying power to a load other than going for an expensive (and bulky) solar charge controller. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar before? Thanks, Damien -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG. Dip EE.

BGP with ISP and IXP traffic variation
by Malcolm Faed 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi All, I have just completed implementing BGP with Megaport and our ISP. I am seeing an usual pattern only with my outbound traffic. See https://malfunction.faed.name/ for a graph. I can't easily see what 1000's of users are doing but it seems like some routes are changing between ISP and IXP, then changing back causing this pattern. Can anyone suggest how to investigate this further? Or perhaps this is normal if anyone has experience in this.

radius accounting now available with DHCP server
by Mike Everest 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi folks, It came to my attention today that RouterOS release 6.45.1 includes changelog entry of: dhcpv4-server - fixed "Acct-Output-Octets" reporting to RADIUS; We have confirmed that it does indeed mean that radius accounting is now possible with radius authenticated DHCP - i.e. "IPoE" One limitation is that there must be an associated queue entry for the customer for accounting to be reported. Enjoy! :-) Mike.

DSLAMS
by Jason Hecker 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hi, I have a situation where I may need to use DSL to get data around a site using existing phone pairs. Aside from using the Proscend modules which work well, can anyone suggest good makes and models of VDSL2 DSLAMs? I only need about 12 ports.

Bouncing ports on CRS317 <-> CRS317
by Shane Clay 24 Aug '19

24 Aug '19

Hi All We've noticed a lot of RX FCS errors between two 10G Fibre SFP+ CRS317 <-> CRS317. We only see the errors on one side and they cause packet loss, port drops, STP etc etc etc. We're running RouterOS (SwOS is not an option). We've replaced SFP modules, patch leads and tested the fibre between the two points. Pretty confident it's not the modules or cabling. Now I've come across this: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=141633&start=100 This seems to suggest it's a known problem in the CRS317 line, although most people here are talking about between 317 and 328 switches, I'm seeing in between two of the same 317's (albeit one about a year newer) Is anyone else seeing problems like this? Surely we're not actually dealing with a company here which is still actually selling this stuff knowing it has a problem..... Shane

CCR1072 opinions
by Philip Loenneker 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hi all, In doing some research on the CCR1072, there are quite a few reports of issues with them. However, as with most things, you tend to not hear from people who do NOT have problems. I was just wondering if anyone would mind sharing some real-world experience of these devices? Note that I am specifically interested in the CCR1072 - we have plenty of experience with CCR1009, CCR1016 and CCR1036 series devices. I am aware that the CCR1036 has 36x 1.2Ghz cores, whereas the CCR1072 has 72x 1Ghz cores, so they are clearly more suited to multi-threaded use cases (not BGP with full route tables...). But it seems like it should be reasonable as a BNG. What are others using them for? Any feedback would be appreciated :) Regards, Philip Loenneker | Senior Network Engineer | TasmaNet 40-50 Innovation Drive, Dowsing Point, Tas 7010, Australia P: 1300 792 711 philip.loenneker(a)tasmanet.com.au<mailto:philip.loenneker@tasmanet.com.au> www.tasmanet.com.au<http://www.tasmanet.com.au/>
