Can't be sure, but the way it seems is that by default when you mark a packet it carries on as per 'passthrough'... If you then have an accept action (rather than mark-packet) looking for that mark then it'll stop, otherwise it'll carry on until it finds another rule that applies to it, where it the...

Neither did I...I just upgraded my v2.8.17 RouterOS to v2.9.1...Would have been nice to have had the mangle rules in a small walled-off section awaiting sorting, but hey...Can't have everything... Am very impressed with the new version so far...Will have to spend more time with it when I'm more awak...

Hmmm... I upgraded my home router last night so I could make a start on familiarising myself with the new version in a 'production' environment. I had the same experience, and after cursing Mikrotik several times (no offense guys!), I got to thinking that there is almost no way you can take the mang...

RaynMan

heh I would never have thought of using ARP to solve this... I would have fiddled with the firewall settings and blocked the entire IP block in the forward chain (or a sub-chain). Just drop/reject all traffic to/from the entire IP block and then place accept rules for each of the IPs that are alloca...

The soldering skills we've got so it is a possibility.

Whether we'll actually do it is a different story altogether. It's something we'll have to weigh up.

Can you elaborate?

Recently one of our clients has been having problems with Routerboard 18s. We've investigated thoroughly and found the issue to be with the RB230. Mikrotik agrees that the RB230 cannot supply sufficient current on the 3.3V line for the RB18s to function with a full complement of cards. The official ...

Here is an interesting change (in my opinion)

"added support for 0 and less tx-power for wireless;"

Can someone maybe explain what and why and where you'd use less than 0 tx-power?

RaynMan

The new unit looks interesting... A couple of things we're wondering on our side... What was the thought/reasoning behind having 6 ethernet ports on the daughterboard. It would make more sense to us to use to have two types of daughterbaords. One with the ethernet and mini-PCI and one with purely th...

Having tested both EoIP and WDS (in lab conditions) I've found WDS to perform better and also use less system resources.

RaynMan

That is pretty much my conclusion as well.

Oh well...

Would have been nice :)

At least I think it's a twist... Hypothetical situation (it's real but we'll pretend it isn't so I don't look stupid for trying it) I have two ADSL links. Both to the same provider. When both connections are made, I have the following: ADSL link 1 IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx GW: 10.0.0.1 ADSL link 2 IP: yyy...

I basically setup each wlan interface as an AP/Bridge and enabled dynamic WDS. I then bridged the wds and wlan interfaces on each AP config, and set this bridge as the default-wds-bridge. No matter which AP I connect to the PPPoE client authenticates. Admittedly I am testing this on a single RouterO...

Is there any way to setup the following... I have two access points, AP1 and AP2. AP1 runs a PPPoE Server. I need all users connecting to AP2 to be able to authenticate with the PPPoE server on AP1. I have setup the PPPoE server to use wlan1. I have tried using WDS, and the two APs link perfectly. I...

Is the RouterOS WDS facility compatible with the Senao WDS functionality?

RaynMan

Yeah, I tricked on that last night...

Been meaning to post here but just been too busy...

Thanks :)

Hi... I have the following setup...Two LANs that are currently connected with a dedicated line. I need to replace the single line with a wireless link. The problem being that the wireless link is in two parts as the two LANs are not line of sight. BR == Wireless setup as 'Bridge' ST == Wireless setu...

I have a very basic scheduleing system put up for the Mikrotik router I have setup at home. At 19:00 it enables the public interface and VPN and at 07:00 it disables them again. My problem is thus...

Any comment on the OpenVPN query?

RaynMan

I can see a use for it my side as well... Shouldn't be too difficult to add the ability to use name addresses with a disclaimer saying it's all at your own risk. Or perhaps support a couple of the more popular Dynamic DNS companies out there? I'm seeing quite a few of the budget type 'Broadband Rout...

Not really an answer to your question, but it is something similar I've found... Emule opens a *lot* of connections and I have some trouble b/w limiting it... For example: I have a 128kbit/128kbit link. (I live in a b/w starved country and this is actually *good*) I can b/w limit any traffic without...

Hi, I've got a couple of queries regarding the RouterOS and where it's going and such... 1) Is the RouterOS going to support OpenVPN (whether as a client or a server or both) at any time? 2) I noticed that the RouterOS updates it's firewall list in realtime. For instance you add a rule it updates. I...

For your PPPoE problem I suggest upgrading to the latest version v2.8.16.

I have had the same problem...But I get round it by using putty to ssh in and paste the commands that way...

Just a quick question, is the G-Turbo selection only meant to work with another Mikrotik box, or will client boxes (non-Mikrotik) also be able to connect) Am referring to using it in non-nstreme mode.

Ooooooo...Thanks...RTFM might be in order for me next time ;)

Setup your PPTP server and a client so that you get a connection. Setup your login/password to give the following IP numbers. 192.168.8.1 for the server side and 192.168.8.2 for the client side. The add in the two static routes with the (unknown) INTERFACE (these will show up as the PPTP interfaces ...

The routerboard is generally expected to be used with a CF module rather than a 2.5" drive, so mounting support tends to be up to the user. Double-sided tape should work and be firm enough...I have several customers using that in outdoor containers. The big indoor case should have enough mounti...

I have a similar setup. ISDN at home (ADSL is sad my side of the world), with my own subnet 192.168.0.x. Permanent line at the office, with a subnet of 192.168.16.x. I created a PPTP tunnel from my home (client) to the office (server) and gave the two ends of the link IPs from a /30 non-routable sub...

A quick (from my point of view) and nasty way of doing things would be to create forward firewall rules for all the affected subnets or IPs and then create a script to enable and one to disable them...Then schedule the appropriate script for the times you need... Like I said...Quick and nasty (and v...

RaynMan

Can you go into a bit more detail on what you actually want to do? What sort of access do you want to control? Users? IPs? Subnets? Protocols?

Once we establish that, we can see if the RouterOS supports it and then it's a matter of configuring the scripts/scheduler and so forth...

RaynMan

Possibly a way to access the Routerboard 200 series BIOS from within the RouterOS, so you can change the boot priority/device if needed. There have been several situations where that would have be useful.

Of course none of the changes need to be made active until the next reboot.
