I am just checking if I understand it correctly. Is it one or another config? Not both together, right. Setup VLAN on Bridge OR (not AND) setup VLAN on switchip ? Bridge = using CPU SWITCH Chip = HW VLAN processing offload if chip support (in my case Atheros 8327 - yes) is this correct VLAN config (...

CoolTom

Thank you a lot. Question - why you include Brigde interface in tagged /interface bridge vlan add bridge="LAN Bridge" tagged="LAN Bridge",ether1,ether5 untagged=ether2,ether3 vlan-ids=10 Question - If I want HW offload, I need to also setup on switch chip? Or I setup VLAN only on...

CoolTom

Now I have no VLANs. Only bridge and CAPs using CAPsMAN forwarding. Now I would like to change it all to VLANs. so lets say No VLAN is default VLAN1 or iit can be VLAN10 and all no VLAN ports access ports. How to setup vlans on routers D and C? On Bridge or Switch? Do i need setup it on interfaces t...

CoolTom

You are right. Picture is more clear. I did quick diagram and add other option to see how to also create "Access port".

and a network diagram focussing on ports and vlans.....

CoolTom

You really want me send dump of default confing?

tap tap tap;...................... waiting.......

CoolTom

Thank you for reply. SWITCH Router B and C / RBD52G-5HacD2HnD are both in default - no extra settings - just one bridge and all ports in this bridge, IP on bridge and 0.0.0.0 route and DNS thats all - just wondering how to setup to get VLANs (tagget already from WIFI box) on one port and spit it out...

CoolTom

Sorry didnt get it

Hiut at the end just listen to anav and everything will work.

CoolTom

Mean if I was trunk in trunk out = just pass vlans thro router then no cpu in switch chip? One small hint, you don't need multiple bridges, one bridge on each device (default one if you accepted default config at first startup) is all you need. I think that InterVLAN stuff is handeled by switch chip...

CoolTom

Hi, trying to make work this setup and bit confised about VLAN, looks like each mikrotik have diffeent chip and it depends on what switchip you have. Can you help me / check if i got it correct? My setup i am trying to build INTERNET | GW Router A / 3011UiAS / Bridge MAIN/subnet, Bridge/subnet A, Br...

CoolTom

Hi, what you mean by "remote ID type to auto"? On mikrotik there are only Calers ID and on Android 13 VPN i can not see any settings by this name.

Thnx

CoolTom

Hi, I just notice, that RESELET CHANNEL behive different in release 6.46.7. Before when u select CAPsMAN --> Channels and you fill Frequencies, reselect interval did nathing. base on docum, it works only, when you not fill any Frq. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CAPsMAN Interval after which l...

CoolTom

Hi SiB, thanks a lot for answer. I already saw some of your answers = cookbooks how to check LTE option on location. Thank you for that, very usefull !! I check our local web gsmweb.cz for towers around locations. Also do some scanning with Network cell info mobile app. Then I scan the air with SXT ...

CoolTom

Hi all, I am getting this results with SXT LTE4 and I am wondering If I can get better with LHG LTE6. If there is only B20 800MHz, will CAT6 bring any more speed? Or just stornger antena and not much different between old cat4 modem and new cat6 modem ..? Also why different speed when both operator ...

CoolTom

Finally i got more logs. Seems like its happening same as before. Mikrotik doest see SIM, restart doesnt help. just remove SIM and plug it back and that it works. I tryed both ports and replace SIM card also and still same. SIM has no pin. Trying to downgrade to STABLE 6.46.6 - this worked without p...

CoolTom

What modem firmware you have?
Enable in logs topics=lte,!raw

MikroTik_CP_2.160.000_v017

I just schedule restart every 24h and it doesnt happend until now again. But will be better if it works without restarts. Thank for log. I didnt know how to filter that LTE info flood

CoolTom

After some months I upgraded LTE moden FW and mikrotik to 6.45.9 and SXT LTE1 interface started freezing again. Any idea, what is state 11? RBSXTR is something what I would definitelly not recomanded for LTE connection! few time is day error message: Jul/05/2020 14:07:38 lte,info lte1: not registred...

CoolTom

Hi, I switch from old RB600 and MC9 carts to AP base on RB921GS-5HPacD r2. From that moment NanoStations M5 as clients start disconecting very regulary - every 20mins for 1minute and connect again. Signal from AP is -57 dBm and CCQ 99%, signal from client bit weeked 56-60dBm and CCQ 80-99% Any idea ...

CoolTom

How it complaints with local laws, when u dont setup country? Does it have AI?

What is the max power output?

Power Setting was there at the beginning of 60G support and was removed to be complaints local laws

CoolTom

What is the power output of this device? FCCID sais 17mW = 12.3dBm https://fccid.io/TV7LHGG60AD Mikrotik Wiki sais 10 dBm = 10mV https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/W60G Mikrotik product page sais nothing https://mikrotik.com/product/wireless_wire_dish Anyway, can Mikrotik add power sett...

CoolTom

Hi, sice my last post, there was one problem - when device power off and power on after 1 week. LTE doest connect. But I just disable LTE interface and re-enable it and it connect without problems. So lets say, yes it work much better then before. Before I had to remove sim and plug it back to be ab...

CoolTom

But Chris, once you do changed in one CAPsMAN (edit access list, change/add SSID etc) you have to manually change it also on backup CAPsMAN. Or do you have any "auto sync" of changes on main CAPsMAN into backup CAPsMAN?

CoolTom

I would not recommend doing that at all. You force the client to roam when it is not yet ready to, and so make the switchover rather noticeable for the vast majority of clients. And doing so also means the clients leaving your zone of coverage will be out of service sooner. So you leave Signal Rand...

CoolTom

Not sure I understand your last question about "signal tuning".

Means what interval set in Access list for device entry, to roam correctly ... min signal like 75 or 85 or 80

od just test it and setup base on real signal?

CoolTom

I installed last stable OS v6.45.6 and it seems to be fine now. Now its on for 3 weeks ...

Seems like for "new" Mikrtoik devices (4011, 60G, LTEs) is better use last stable instead of long term ....

CoolTom

How you tune signal randge? Do u use -80..120 or test with some device?

CoolTom

Same SSID and password, and let the client decide. There will be very limited cases where devices that wont prefer 5G will need 5G. If they are static devices (such as TV's) then you can ACL them onto 5G but ultimately if they are not bandwidth heavy then it won't really matter all that much. ACL -...

CoolTom

Provided you will most likely build your network using dual-band APs what should happen for one network to go down while another to remain up? 5G has worse wall penetration. So there will be still some "holes" where 2G is but 5G is not. Device still have option connect using 2G. Thats wha...

CoolTom

Or if not use 5G card replace it with this mini PCIe to USB

but its crazy remove 5G

https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1mkJFIXXX ... 0-card.jpg

CoolTom

So nit possible just "wire" pin to pin? https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Serial_Console somehow to USB-B connector or DB9 connect to USB cable - USB to USB-B USB to DB9 https://images.monoprice.com/productlargeimages/20671.jpg https://images.monoprice.com/productlargeimages/372...

CoolTom

Hi, I am wondering how you guys setup 5 and 2G wifi over CAPsMAN. What works best? As I saw, there are two or three possible options, but both have some negatives: 1. 5G and 2G with same SSID name and some people also r educe 2G transmit power -7dBi below 5G transmit power to force device choose 5G ...

CoolTom

Yes, but 4011 not have USB, just RJ45 CONSOLE port and UPS have just USB type B connector. So I was wondering if CONSOLE port is same like serial port and can be used for talking to APC UPS ....

CoolTom

Hi, is there any way how to connect APC UPS (USB interface) into RB4011 (RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN)?

Like over CONSOLE port?

CoolTom

L2MTU has nothing to do with CPU usage. It is just a limit on the size of the low-level frames. Maybe it has some impact on memory usage (size of buffer used when receiving frames). I never touch it, I just leave it at its value decided by RouterOS. When using link level protocols that add lots of ...

CoolTom

Different hardware has different L2MTU. However it is not important, unless you are doing MPLS and need a lot of L2MTU. For normal use it is only MTU that matters. I see, so i can not expect big change if i change it to same value as other clnnected Mikrotik devices? Its better keep it as it is fro...

CoolTom

Happening similar stuff. After few days LTE modem freeze and it just say in status tab: pin status: unknown. LTE interface not disapear. I tryed: USB reset device restart using restart device restart power disconnect AT command /interface lte at-chat lte1 input="AT+reset" change slot A to ...

CoolTom

Thank you for your post. I was wondering why different Mikrotik device get "by default" different L2MTU ... IF I connect HeX PoE and RB4011 and each will have on connected ether ports different L2 MTU - 1592 and 1598, will it slow down dataflow - becouse one have to fragment packets? Shoul...

CoolTom

Hi, I am bit confused with MTU and L2MTU value. I am vondering if it should be same on two connected device or better keep it as router set it up? I am having L2 MTU on RB600 - 1600 hAP ac2 - 1598 RB1100Hx4 - 1592 RB4011 - 1592 HeX PoE - 1598 I was reading about packet size but not sure if this valu...

CoolTom

Hi, Why not try to change the priority on the 60Ghz port and also on the 5ghz port with RSTP? 60ghz priority 128 5ghz priority 96 If link break on 60ghz then the traffic will go through the 5ghz, it requires to have two switch between each radio. Thank you, sounds more complicated than OSPF with BF...

CoolTom

Yes to include the management of the WiFi use /29 Well it is of course also possible to use a /24 but what is important is that you should use a separate network for each of the links and not put these things in a bridge as so many people do. So on each router you take out 2 ports from the normal b...

CoolTom

You would recommend to setup 2 /30 networks between the routers and run your favorite routing protocol. Combine it with BFD to make it aware of connection loss a lot quicker than OSPF or BGP do by default. Btw what is advantage of using /30 network instead of /24? Less hosts, lest broadcasts? Not s...

CoolTom

Do you need transparent behavior? I.e. should it be like a bridge/switch? If not, do not use EoIP but use routing. You can use an autorouting protocol configured for quick switchover (e.g. with BFD). Even when you do require EoIP, you can use a single EoIP pair and use routing to select the path be...

CoolTom

bounding with active backup will switch over in less than 0.3 seconds if 60GHz link is lost Can OSPF do this job too? like setup ospf interface of both router¨s interfaces connected to p2p link and setup network type as peer to peer? LAN -- eth1 (ospf network type broadcas) ROUTER A eth2 (ospf netw...

CoolTom

Thanks guys, thats what i wanted to hear

Btw would u mind give me some idea for routing in whole network?

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=151566

CoolTom

Or make the question more simple. How to setup automatic routing on the whole network and failover on 2 paraller wireless links (main LINKA and backup LINKB). OSPF on whole network (as one backbone area)? OR RIP+ manual rotinng on some routers + EoIP thro wireless and bond them? Or another better so...

CoolTom

Found it, thank you. I also switch off auto discoverry as it keep adding devices with "netowrk" and "broadcast" IP (x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.255)

CoolTom

Yes its right. So if traffic goes thro one switch chip, than you can not see what connections are there?

CoolTom

Bridge means less package processing on the involved devices ... which means lower delay and possibly higher throughput. However, bridge also means broadcasts (including ARP requests) for the whole subnet will hit all the wireless links (presumably bottlenecks) ... which means somewhat reduced thro...

CoolTom

HI, I am wondering what is "better" (faster/other reason) for wireless p2p link between two lacations. Make it as router to router bridge - one subnet or create subnets between every 2 interfaces on link. Bridge: INTERNET ---- ROUTER A (10.0.0.1) -------- (10.0.0.2) ROUTER_WIRELESS_B *****...

CoolTom

Hi guys. What am I missing? This is happening on few devices (not one model, not one arch, lates version and also older versions). I see there is traffic on ports but when i run TROCH on each port or bridge where the port is, there is nothing. Traffice between ports 1 and 5. ports are in bridge LAN....

CoolTom

I prefer NetMetal 2x2, is more flexible. You can add different kinds of antennas. MIMO 2x2 is very popular and you have a diversity of antennas. mANT 120º is too specific design. NetBox is the same, but plastic (I prefer metalic case). NetMetal 3x3 if you not need it, choose 2x2. Regards. Thank you...

CoolTom

I wouldn't use LACP with links of different characteristics. It can be a nightmare. It's better to configure them in an active/passive fashion with the 5G link acting as a backup and forwarding packets only if the 60G link fails. Thanks for reply. But still bonding EoIP tunnels (and use Active back...

CoolTom

Hoi

What kind of throughput do you get over the links?

5G about 100-190Mb and 60G about 500Mb

CoolTom

Hi, what is "better" for outdoor use for AP? run it on 5G N or AC (20MHz width)? Or quite same?

CoolTom

CAPsMAN is best way how to control more APs from one place (channels, access list, create more SSID like guest etc). So setup CAPsMAN at first AP A (as is first on way to Internet and its already your network GW). And second / AP B connect to CAPsMAN as CAP. AP A will have: CAPsMAN (channels, access...

Yes wrong /32 is one address. So it means that if WAN IP is for example 10.65.123.15/32 and I put into Address list 10.65.123.15/24 or 10.65.123.0/24 it will have same result (match adresses 10.65.123.1-255)?

CoolTom

Was like most easy way how to get 0 on the end of IP to put whole subnet into address list (to manage connected networks). /32 is mask of "ISP privat IP on LTE". If I put whole subnet /24 it will do the same job I guess ... btw how to add string "/32" to the end? Just can not mak...

CoolTom

btw how to add string "/32" to the end? Just can not make it work ... /ip firewall address-list set [find comment="wan0"] address="[([/ip address get [find interface=\"lte1\"] value-name=network]&255.255.255.0)]"."/32"] /ip firewall address-list ...

I described it wrong. I was thinking this means, find address list item with comment "wan0" and "overwrite it" with new IP/subnet - so address list doest grows with adding more end more IPs into address list /ip firewall address-list set [find comment="wan0"] address=$w...
