OSPF with backup paths
by Paul Julian 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Hi all, Hoping somebody can offer a suggestion here. We run a number of sites with a single fibre back to our DC, we have a virtualised redundant core network there and want to take the fibre vlans to each core router for termination rather than just one so that we have redundancy in the core. We have a /30 going from each site to each core router and OSPF running at both ends. By using OSPF interface costs in the DC we can preference the traffic flow through one core router or another, but when there is only one interface at the remote site what's the options for preferencing that traffic flow coming back using OSPF ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Paul

The LtAP Mini’s couples with EC25 seems to be a complete heap and unreliable. Our go to DUXCELL is no longer on the market. What are people actively using and know are solid? Band28 is relatively important too. Cheers, Dave

How to get connectivity between VPN clients.
by Malcolm Faed 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hi all, I am attempting to get VPN connectivity between multiple SSTP Mikrotik VPN clients. I have set up a cloud hosted router (CHR v 6.42.11) on a hosing service. ($4 per month on Binary Lane) I can connect multiple clients and ping to the cloud router, but need to be able to obtain connectivity between clients. I have added the bridge to the profile and selected proxy-arp on the CHR bridge. Thanks for any assistance.

SXTSq ac Radio problems
by Paul Julian 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hi all, Just wondering if anybody has experienced random reboots from the SXTsq ac radios with the new ARM chipset ? I have read about some woeful results when using NV2 on the MT forums and people also seem to have other issues, but can't seem to see any rebooting problems. We have only just started using them and the first one has been fine, 30 days uptime so far with no issues, but the second one just rebooted randomly about 5 times a day and the latency was all over the shop. We replaced it with a brand new one and it does exactly the same thing. Even after upgrading to latest long term OS and firmware no change, and I can't find anything in later version change logs which refer to any issues being fixed like this. We are only trying to use it in 802.11 a/n mode, not even ac, and we have tried 802.11 an NV2 options, connecting to an Omnitik. Power is OK as we are powering a powerbox from the same injector and power pack now with an old SXT ac connected to it, no reboots, no drops, working as expected. Any thoughts ? Thanks Paul

RouterOS 6.40->6.42 upgrade didn't go so well.. How should things work now? :)
by Damien Gardner Jnr 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

Hey All, I have a bunch of CRS109's around the place which need to be upgraded from 6.40 to 6.42 The one in the living room which basically just does switching went fine. Silly me then went 'rad, lets do the core!'.. And all hell broke loose. After the upgrade, there was no bridge1 automatically created, and all my vlan interfaces were still on ether2-master. After much googling on my phone, and messing about, I have it mostly working, WITH RSTP turned off on the bridge I had to create, and with my VRRP interfaces shutdown, and the IP's from them moved back to the bridges they live on. However things are still quite hinkey, so I'm wondering how things SHOULD be setup post 6.41? So I currently have: + bridge_switchchip - vlan86 - vlan87 - vlan88 - vlan98 - vlan99 - vlan100 - vlan101 - vlan102 All ports are members of bridge_switchchip vlan100, is then a port in bridge_local, as that's our local LAN along with three wifi virtual-interfaces vlan102 is a port in bridge_vlan102, as that's the kids' LAN along with their wifi virtual-interface. it's also in a VRF along with one of the two pppoe dialers on this CRS The switch chip is then also doing a bunch of vlan rules: vlan87: ether1,2,5,6,cpu vlan98: ether1,5,cpu vlan99: ether1,5,cpu vlan100: ethernet1-8,cpu vlan101: ether1-3,ether5-7,cpu vlan102: ether1,2,4,7,cpu And it's also translating vlan100 to native vlan on ether2-5 SO... Pre 6.41, I simply had my vlan interfaces on the master port, had all my interfaces as slaves, and then configured my vlan mappings per port on the switch chip. I now have a bridge with all ports in it, and then vlans under that bridg.e However this seems to be causing problems since I have some of those vlans in bridges themselves? Disabling RSTP on bridge_switchchip let most things talk to most other things, although the kids VRF is not passing traffic as yet. I haven't shoved my own test box onto that network to diagnose it yet though. How SHOULD I be doing this? Should I be creating multiple bridge_switchip_vlanblah bridges, each with its own vlanid set? And only add the interfaces that should have those vlans to that bridge? Or is all this weirdness just a hassle with 6.42.9, and I should come off bugfix, and go to release? Thanks, Damien (Pulling my hair out, and considering pulling the config off my core CRS, and throwing it on the one in the garage that hasn't been upgraded as yet!!!) Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG.

QOS
by Paul Julian 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Hi all, how many people actually implement a QOS design within an ISP network which is for data heading from a DSLAM or router TO the customer ? I am interested to know of those that do are you dynamically managing the QOS using prioritisation of packets or are you hard setting speeds in multiple queues to manage the VOIP quality heading to the customer ? We have written a system which dynamically prioritises packets to the customer, it tears down the default queue created at PPPOE login time and then builds a new queue structure with a parent and two children, one for VOIP and one for everything else. It works very well, however the Mikrotik priority system is a little slow in reacting sometimes for VOIP and we still see some packets not getting through in front of a large download which is smashing the connection for example. We can obviously reduce traffic bandwidth in the non-VOIP queue but that would be a permanent thing so even when there was no VOIP traffic they still wouldn't see maximum bandwidth. We know how to handle both scenarios but I am just interested in how others handle it or whether they do it at all.... Regards Paul

Upgrade LHG LTE kit
by Kilburn Abrahams 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hi list, Band 28 (700mhz) is the craze today with providers upgrading their towers. I don't have a LHG LTE kit, but I was wondering if the internal miniPCI-e slot LTE card is removable so I can use a card that supports band 28. I was thinking Sierra card. No sure if the LHG has the drivers to handle other cards. Thanks Kilburn

MTCRE (Routing Engineer) - Available slot for Brisbane class
by Mike Everest 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi All! I have a vacant seat in MTCRE class coming up in Brisbane, Monday December 3rd thru Wednesday 5th inclusive that I am *very* 'motivated' to fill ;) Reason is that lab exercised work best in groups of 4, and we currently have 7 enrolled. So I am willing to consider all offers with place going to the highest 'bid'... Acceptable offers range from $0 or 'price of practice router' to full price ;) You will need to have held MTCNA certification to be eligible to attempt the online exam (does NOT need to be current, so expired MTCNA is still OK) but if you don't care about the exam, I am ok with that too! :-) If interested, please contact me by direct email :) Regards, Mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Why Choose DuxTel for all your MikroTik needs? 10 good reasons: http://duxtel.com/why_duxtel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Follow our tweets for news and updates: http://twitter.com/duxtel
