Wow that sounds like a good one, I reckon there is some dodgy code somewhere that hooks EOIP into the bridge stuff in some occasions by accident, it's strange indeed !

Haven't seen this for a good while (9-12 months) so assume it was fixed. However, I'm beginning to notice another strange EOIP issue. If a tunnel is configured on a device that provides internet access through NAT, even if the tunnel is disabled, not a part of any bridge etc, it seems to interfere with client's internet access in a strange way, for example particular sites will not load, some elements don't display properly etc, very similar symptoms to a MTU issue. No traffic passes over the tunnel (as its disabled), and I do not see how it could be affecting traffic at all. Removing the tunnel from the router complete fixes the problem straight away. Is this something anyone else has seen or am I going crazy? -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Damien Gardner Jnr Sent: Tuesday, 10 May 2016 10:32 AM To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] EOIP Epic Fail I've had a *lot* of trouble with EOIP tunnels randomly stopping working. It has got to the point that when an EOIP tunnel drops, I just create a new one and move the VLAN's across to the new one *first*, before I look for anything else. That said, I haven't had any issues in 4-5 months, so I assume whatever it was, was fixed somewhere around 6.33/6.34-ish? On 10 May 2016 at 09:22, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:
Hi guys, thought I would post this information to see if anybody had experienced the same issue.
We have an RB1100AHx2 in a data centre that connects to a CCR in another data centre, unfortunately we can't do QINQ between the DC's so we run an EOIP tunnel to connect two vlans for a customer through to there, all has been working fine for about 2 years.
The other day, just out of the blue, the customer said their link had gone down, after a number of hours troubleshooting, convinced that it was a problem on site, we discovered that the EOIP tunnel just stopped passing traffic. Nothing had changed on those two routers for months but all of a sudden they just stopped working. The CCR has some other EOIP tunnels on it which were still working fine, but the 1100 was refusing to work.
We checked firewall rules, vlan ID's, tunnel ID's, everything, and there were no issues, the tunnel just refused to pass data.
I tried changing the tunnel ID and it made no difference, tried re-adding the vlans to it, nothing, disabled and enabled it, nothing made a difference.
Out of desperation we created a new EOIP tunnel on that router with a new ID and pointed it to the existing EOIP interface at the other end and it came up straight away.
So apart from a big WTF, has anybody experienced this before ?
