Re: Local DNS not working on RB5009

Sorry, I don't understand the context here. Who is "it"...PC, DNS or router? DNS server has to be configured either to use some external (in sense: external to your LAN including router) recursive resolver ... or it has to be configured as full recursiver resolver without referencin any f...

Re: Local DNS not working on RB5009

Problem resolved and it is NOT the RB5009. We formerlly had a contractor doing our network maintenance who implemented an undocumented "security feature" on the DNS that blocks unknown router and switch hardware access but does not care about PCs, cell phones, APs, IoT and so on...pretty l...

Re: Local DNS not working on RB5009

First thing to verify woukd be to check if DNS server (on LAN host) can resolve anything (by doing recursive resolving job as all decent DNS servers do). Local DNS functions correctly as it has for many years. DNS is unbound on Debian. The RB5009 is being installed into an existing, working network...

Local DNS not working on RB5009

I am trying to replace an existing router (non-Mikrotik) with a Mikrotik RB5009 router. The LAN has been simplified to the minimum hardware required: PC, DNS server, and router with internet connection as illustrated below. Diagram1.png The local DNS has a static IP address. Both routers are configu...

Re: export/import ROS configuration

Okay, so import will not overwrite existing configuration. So let's try from a blank configuration. First do a verbose export of the router configuration, [foobar@MikroTik] > /export file=MIKROTIK_CONFIG_VERBOSE.rsc verbose Next, remove the default configuration, [foobar@MikroTik] > /system reset-co...

export/import ROS configuration

Greetins! I am a newbie to MT and ROS so am learning the MT ecosystem. I have started my learning journey with an RB5009 with ROS 7.8. Since the default configuration of the RB5009 just works out of the box, I decided to use this as the basis for learning ROS by modifying it to meet the requirements...
