NBN Traffic Management
by Paul Julian 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi guys, is anybody successfully doing CVC traffic shaping at the head end for NBN services ?? Having a hard time getting traffic to match the CVC's for outgoing management, it should be working with just the mangle rule on the postrouting chain using the CVC vlan as the interface I would have thought, but I can't get any packets to match the sucker ! I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the bonding setup for LACP and whether I have to enable the firewall for vlans in the bridge firewall settings. Any thoughts ? Regards Paul

the elusive mAP is apparently imminent release ;)
by Mike Everest 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

For those who missed it, MikroTik recently announced that mAP was on offer (free) for the next 50 registered attendees at the USA MUM to be held in Pittsburg on September 11 (only a non-US company would pitch an event on that date?) Although official distributors still have no information about this product despite VERY significant market interest, the fact that they are on offer to MUM attendees in September are a somewhat encouraging sign that they may well become available very soon - and that at least, perhaps, they actually DO exist! :-D Maybe we will know what price sometime soon too ;) Cheers! Mike.

MikroTik troubles...
by Mike Everest 11 Aug '14

MikroTik account site offline, emails bouncing. Ouch - I wonder if they applied the latest 6.19 update to their own routers? Regards, Mike Everest www.duxtel.com.au

RouterOS 6.19 - could it be the solution CCR users have been waiting for?
by Mike Everest 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

In case you missed it, latest version of 6.19 includes fixes explicitly designed to address general queue problems with CCR models: NOTE: in this build we applied a patch that should solve most of the queueing related performance issues on CCR. If these changes will provide positive feedback we will consider to put them into release of 6.19. Please, test queues on CCR and report results and any problems you might find. It also brings improvements for long term stability of the CCR. They consider this a very important update, and so are also seeking feedback where possible - good AND bad! ;-) Cheers, Mike.

Re: [MT-AU Public] RBMetal2SHPn wireless thermal shutdown?

It looks like this issue has been solved with a RBMetal2SHPn firmware update. Since the update was applied the problem has not reappeared, even under stress testing. It took a while but this looks like a positive outcome.

Hi All. Does anyone have a solution/work around to the BGP hold timer for a peer being locked to below 3600. At the moment I have Juniper/Cisco nodes running a role im trying to put some CCR's in for but I need to run the BGP holdtime more in the 64800 range. CCR 1016 - v6.18 Any thoughts? Daniel

802.11ac SXT's
by Paul Julian 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hi guys, has anybody used the new RBSXTG-5HPacD radios as yet and have any comments ? We have a couple of short P2P links we were looking at doing, about 1km - 3km, there is a bit of 5Ghz stuff already in the areas and was wondering how these handle a bit of interference, we only need 100M but was thinking about trying the new 802.11ac gear when Duxtel gets some in stock. Regards Paul

Just wondering if anybody has successfully implemented the Mikrotik PPP Multilink setup through Telstra DSLAM's before ? We can't seem to get it to work, nothing we do seems to make the second link come up, I'm not sure if it's a Telstra thing or a Mikrotik thing Anybody had any luck with it ? Regards Paul

Duxlink Point to Point
by James Gretton 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi I have a point to point link, using the Duxlink A and B end configurations available off the website. Very happy with it, but I now need to convert it to a point to multipoint configuration. I have the following on one roof as an A end: http://shop.duxtel.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=30_45&products_id=145 Then the following on another roof as a B end: http://shop.duxtel.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=30_45&products_id=244 The A and B ends both work, but when I add a second B end, im getting the following in the logs: I cant find the option to restrict the number of clients anywhere and the A end configuration doesnt look like it sets anything like that. If anyone has an idea, im all ears. -- James Gretton JJL I.T
