I’m having a problem with multiple devices having disconnects and requiring our router to power off the modem to reboot to bring connection back up. Carrier is T-Mobile in each case. Carrier: T-Mobile APN: fast.t-mobile.com Modem: Quectel RM520N-GL Modem Firmware: RM520NGLAAR01A08M4G RouterOS: Mikro...

pkelly1603

Update: I realized that many of the POEs we were sending out were only 100M POEs. It remains very strange that in my lab, other devices could link at 1G over a test cable run that the RBM33G could not (even with correct POE). The cable tested good but I re-terminated both ends and now the RBM33G get...

pkelly1603

I'm having a problem with many RBM33G devices often not linking at 1G. I've put approximately 15 in production over the last few weeks. - They devices link up and work properly at 100M - They link at 1G connected on the desk with short cable runs - Nearly every one we've put in production will not l...

It looks like gibberish from ChatGPT or similar. With CDP being a proprietary Cisco protocol Mikrotik do not treat the multicast address it uses as special, so it should propagate throughout the broadcast domain of the layer 2 network. I've not checked EoIP interfaces specifically but certainly all...

pkelly1603

I'm not sure if that last post was a joke or something from ChatGPT but there are parameters listed in that post that just don't exist.

pkelly1603

Is it possible to tunnel CDP through EOIP? Normally, when a CDP packet is received by a direct neighbor, it is read and dropped (not repeated to other device on same VLAN but not directly connected). On a cisco interface, you can configure it so that the CDP packet is forwarded with the command &quo...

pkelly1603

Also, another idea (in case Mikrotik engineers read this):

Could a board be built so that the SIM slots can be set to different PCIe/m.2 interfaces with jumpers? That would make the board more versatile without adding too many SIM slots.

pkelly1603

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer!

Hopefully they implement a Routerboard with M.2 for modem. Also, having dual SIM connected to the same m.2 would be ideal.

pkelly1603

Does the M.2 slot on RBM33G work for 5g cards? Currently, I'm using an LHG R with adapter to support m.2 cards. It would be nice to be able to install these in an m.2 slot directly but the specs on this device only mention that it is for storage. I would like to use MBIM interface to the modem on th...

pkelly1603

Interesting that this is marked "Solved" as there was no solution proposed except to ignore the question. SIMS do fail. If you haven't ran into this yet, you haven't deployed enough of these. Also, typically if the carrier marks the area as covered, an LHG R will connect even with major mi...

pkelly1603

Maybe you are interested in Layer 3 Hardware Offload https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/L3+Hardware+Offloading Thank you for the response but unfortunately that does not accomplish what we need either. It seems there is no current Mikrotik hardware that supports the required features at wir...

and both can not be done at the same time using simple VLAN-aware bridge.

So are you saying this is not possible in a wire speed configuration? Or is there a different way to do it rather than a simple VLAN-aware bridge configuration?

pkelly1603

Hello, I'm having trouble finding documentation on how to do this configuration so that this works at hardware speed. Here is a simple example, how do I accomplish this? Two circuits are communicating with switch through sfp1 Circuit 1 has vlan tags: inner vlan 10, outter vlan 100 Circuit 2 has vlan...

pkelly1603

Is there plans to make a LHG-R with dual SIM slots? We are starting to deploy these but my biggest hesitancy is that they only have one SIM slot so if something happens to the primary SIM or carrier changes to plan, we can't easily re-activate a new account for existing deployments without having so...

pkelly1603

It seems Mikrotik router OS was not setting the APN properly. The issue was resolved by sending the AT command below directly to the modem (even though the APN is properly configured in RouterOS APN config). /interface lte at-chat lte1 input="AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IPV4V6\",\"broadband\&...

pkelly1603

FYI in case anyone else runs into the same problem. Mikrotik support reviewed the supout file and determined: Well, you can monitor the interface to see if the modem is stuck on 'searching' and you can read through the log file, in the previous supout there was this: Jul/06/2022 07:41:13 lte,debug l...

Quectel EP06-A in LHG R won't connect. I have put together 3 other LHG R routers with the same radio (EP06-A), same router OS version (7.2.3) and the others have worked (although not always without tinkering around). The same SIM works in another hardware model and it is activated on the same AT&...

pkelly1603

Hi, I have a CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS that I started testing. However, I didn't realize when I bough it but it seems there are no features supported directly in the hardware switching on this device. The Mikrotik documentation for switch chips reports nothing is available on the ASIC and apparently all is...

pkelly1603

Thank you for the replies. Although I am not sure how to change the IMEI, I am certain that this is not the cause of the problem since the connection works OK sometimes. The AT&T plan I'm using is allowed in hotspot and non-hotspot type devices and I've tested the same SIM in some "hotspot&...

pkelly1603

Good afternoon, I am trying to make the LHGR work with Quectel EP06-A because this particular card supports most of the good US LTE bands for AT&T. However, the software seems to have some bugs in support for this module. Router OS software version: 7.2.3 Here is what I've done: 1. Set EP06-A to...

pkelly1603

Ok... mac-telnet from telnet or ssh should be possible then.

Yes good idea.

pkelly1603

That is correct. You will need to put a MikroTik router (or CHR) between your provisioning system and the router to be configured. Then you can connect to the intermediate router via API and have it connect to the new router via mac-telnet. It is a bit unfortunate, indeed. Hmm this seems like a goo...

pkelly1603

FYI for anyone else having this same problem: I believe Mikrotik is changing MAC telnet as we had some errors a few months ago where certain versions would always give a username/password error when you connect via MAC telnet. They don't seem to want to acknowledge this though as they haven't replie...

I am trying to use the windows terminal application that comes with Mikrotik neighbor viewer to connect to a router on my network that is on version 6.45.8.

That is exactly the issue I was trying to solve...this worked for me too.

I'm having a problem on both PPTP and L2TP tunnels periodically where the TX drops are occurring. The WAN interface shows no TX drops.

For some reason, :execute command does not work in netwatch. Is this due to the netwatch limited permissions? For example, the command below does not work from netwatch in version 6.42.9.

Why is this thread marked, "Solved"? As far as I can tell, dude logging is still a mess.

pkelly1603

No I will try the backup bootloader, thanks for the suggestion.

FYI - It turns out that the cause of this is upgrading the firmware, not software.

pkelly1603

We've upgraded a few RB2011iLS-IN from the version they were shipped with (6.39?) to 6.43. We've had a few of these where after the upgrade, the router is non-responsive. I tried to netinstall one of these and it boots into netinstall but after I install the software, the router doesn't boot properl...

Update:

I solved this problem by removing newlines from script text and terminating each command with a semicolon (leaving all commands on one line). I still am not sure why newlines aren't working but at least that is a good workaround.

pkelly1603

Let me give another reason this is important: We have a NOC with many people having access to many routers.

pkelly1603

First of all, multicast forwarding occurs between switched ports which means ether10 also has to be slave port of ether1. Secondly, ingress vlan translation rule assigns frames from ether1,ether2,ether3 to VLAN 100 therefore MFDB entry should have VLAN id 100 to match this multicast traffic. And VL...
