Bridged Modem Options
by Paul Julian 15 Jul '17

15 Jul '17

Hi all, I know there was some talk a while back about modems in bridge mode for ADSL and there were a few suggestions. With the loss of the TPLink TD8817 now and no replacement in sight at this point we are searching for other options for a reliable low cost ADSL modem just for bridging. The TPLink was great because it was in bridge mode straight out of the box, this meant that you could just shop it to a customer with no need for configuration of any kind, it would be great to find another modem which was already in bridge mode as it's standard configuration. We have been looking at the Netgear DM200 which is an ADSL2/VDSL2 modem, it has promise but is triple the price of the TPLink. What are people's thoughts on the DM200 if you have used one ? are they worth the money as an ADSL modem ? I think they would be worth it for VDSL but I can't help but think there should be a good ADSL modem cheaper than that, even the Draytek modems are a lot more than the TPLink. I would be interested in peoples thoughts on this as I am now at zero stock levels and need new modems yesterday J Thanks Paul

Is there a way to bind snmp to a specific interface (say the loopback) so it will respond back with the same ip address it was polled on?

CAPsMAN on 6.38.7 not working after update
by Paul Julian 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi guys, I just upgraded an RB2011 we are using as a CAPsMAN router and the CAPs aren't coming back online. Everything was working OK previously but we just did the bugfix update to keep up to date, but now the CAPs aren't coming back. I have tried disabling and enabling everything on the CAPs and the CAPsMAN router but it's not seeing any radios. Any thoughts ? Regards Paul

UPS Serial Cable
by Paul Julian 29 Jun '17

Hi guys, we have got some APC UPS's with the serial DB9 connections on them but need to connect them to Mikrotik RB2011 and RB1100AHx2 models. Does anybody have any suggestions on a cable to suit ? The problem is they are both setup to be the B end of the situation and not the MT setup to be the A end and the UPS as the B end. I was thinking of a gender bender but don't really want to do that if I don't have to..... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Paul

VDSL modem in Mikrotik - PCI-E option?
by Philip Loenneker 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Hi all, This is inspired by a post on AusNOG, which some of you may have seen. Draytek have a PCI-E card VDSL modem. I have limited knowledge of the hardware/driver level of Mikrotik routers, but does anyone here know if one of these might go in a Mikrotik product that has a PCI-E slot, eg the ones designed for 3G? Some background here: https://fbdragon.co.uk/static/2016/09/19/draytek-vigornic-132/ Might be an alternative to waiting on the SFP-based VDSL modems :) Regards, Philip Loenneker | Network Engineer | TasmaNet

AWS mikrotik NAT instance
by Matt Chipman 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hi all, moving some servers out of an old site into the AWS cloud. Wanting to use a mikrotik NAT instance in front of a VPC connected to the office via IPSEC to extend the LAN into the cloud. Currently can't get either the NAT to work or the IPSEC between the mikrotik boxs. Does anyone have this type of setup working or is it a no go? I realise I can use AWS IPSEC endpoint and NAT device but the MT is much more flexible if I can get it working. Thanks Matt

Telstra 4G Dropouts
by Paul Julian 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Hi All, we have a number of out of band RB hAP routers out there which have a Sierra Wireless 320U 4G Modem connected to them and use the Telstra 4G LTE network, on the whole these work well, however they regularly, as in once every day or so, stop receiving data, however the LTE interface on the RB does not recognize that there is no data coming in and still thinks it's running and all is good. I have looked for a keepalive or something for the interface but can't find anything, I don't know if it's a Telstra network issue or the RB or perhaps just how it is but we need these to remain up as much as possible as they are for OOB access to our POP's, has anybody come across this issue before and have any suggestions ? As soon as you disable the LTE interface and re-enable it things work fine. I also have an SXT LTE router which does the same thing, so kind of thinking it's not a modem problem as they have the integrated one. Thanks Paul

bridged modem and iinet NBN service
by Mike Everest 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Hi all! I'm interested to hear any experiences using FTTN services bridged to LAN to present the service address directly to routerOS, for any ISP really, but in relation to modems supplied by iinet are most relevant for this case :-} Any favourite modem hardware to use? Any known gotchas (e.g. dhcp lease at the head end) or limitations? Any and all comments will be well received and very much appreciated! :-) Thanks in advance, Regards Mike.
