Re: Guide: CAPsMAN configuration with management VLAN (RouterOS 7.14.3)

I think I may have found the solution. In the Mikrotik documentation for configuring CAPsMAN, I found this notice: If the CAP is hAP ax2 or hAP ax3, it is strongly recommended to enable RSTP in the bridge configuration, on the CAP configuration.manager should only be set on the CAP device itself, do...

Re: Guide: CAPsMAN configuration with management VLAN (RouterOS 7.14.3)

A smart switch (RB260GS) is connected to the sfp1 port on the hEX. All that is currently connected to it are IOT devices. Ports ether4 and ether5 are the trunk ports to the hAP access points. Port ether3 is a trunk port to a TP-Link smart switch in my office where I have a server connected to the MG...

Re: Guide: CAPsMAN configuration with management VLAN (RouterOS 7.14.3)

Last winter I used the same WiFi documentation as is referenced in this thread (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi) to develop a WiFi with VLANs configuration. I am using a hEX S as the primary router, (RB760iGS) and a hAP ax^3 for the WiFi access point (C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD). The config...

Re: hAP ax3 wired mesh [SOLVED]

so is getting this to function properly as simple as connecting the second hAP to the network and adding it into CAPsMAN, or is it going to be more complex than that? What is the correct procedure for this and is it documented anywhere? Thanks, Mark Yes. 802.11ax standard, wifi roaming should work ...

Re: hAP ax3 wired mesh [SOLVED]

The only reason to use the hex is if your ISP throughput ( assuming single ISP ) is less than 600Mpbs. My house is wired for ethernet with an ethernet connector in every room. Every cable runs back to a metal box in the master bedroom closet. That is also where the ISP connection comes in, so the m...

hAP ax3 wired mesh [SOLVED]

I recently implemented a network in my home that has a hEX S connected to the modem and a hAP ax3 configured in access point mode connected to the hEX. This is working fairly well in the main house, But the WiFi begins to drop off significantly when I move to the far end of the garage or the extreme...

Re: /tool/dns-update to bind server

I suspected it was going to be something like that. The Linux nsupdate command has a delete command and I was hoping for something similar here. It is what it is. I will work with that, then.

Re: /tool/dns-update to bind server

I solved the authentication issue (I was using a hmac-sha256 key, not hmac-md5) and I am now able to add resource records into my DNS server from my MikroTik router. But I cannot find a way to remove records. That is not mentioned in the documentation as far as I can tell. DOes anyone have an answer...

Re: /tool/dns-update to bind server

It appears that I am mistaken. Prior to implementing MikroTik routers, addresses were provided by DHCP running on the same server as my DNS. The key DHCP and DNS used to authenticate with was named rndc-key and in fact RNDC on this server used that same key. Therefore I assumed that DHCP used RNDC c...

/tool/dns-update to bind server

I am using the RouterOS DHCP server to assign IP addresses to client systems. This is working well so far, but I would like to have it update my Bind DNS server that is running on a separate server. I have seen the contributed scripts for doing this and intend to use one of them as the basis for wri...
