It would work for a day or a week, but then it would start doing radius timeouts on new authentications. This was for a PPPoE server with about 50 sessions. Below a screenshot of active sessions on the 1036 as example, 91 active PPPoE sessions authenticated via Radius, device has been up for 58 day...

We have had the same issue where we installed a new router with 6.44, we had to roll back to 6.43. Actually we were trying to use an RB4011 that shipped with 6.44 and wouldn't downgrade, so we had to replace it with a CCR1009. I was just googling to see if there was a resolution yet.

Red0ktober

You'll want Ubiquiti AirControl2 for that.

I have identified two config issues on our systems preventing ROS upgrades. I've gone through the RC releases and found the problem arose between 6.34rc36 and 6.34rc39. Firstly, the syntax of a firewall rule changed. We have a rule that allows limited amount of pings, which was originally taken from...

I have been testing and testing on this router, and I can update to 6.34rc36 without issue, but when I update between 6.34rc36 and rc39, my router won't boot. Sticks on Starting Services... before a timeout, std error. I can do a fresh netinstall to whatever version including the 6.34 final and the ...

I just netinstalled the RB2011 back to a previous version. Whatever happened to those routers, they upgraded to a mostly unusable state.

Have attempted an update on two mibsbe devices, an RB450G and RB2011UAS-RM, both are now broken. Haven't been able to revert or recover them yet. Any one else have troubles?

Red0ktober

Five-plus year later update. Almost everything is awesome. Thanks to all who contributed suggestions, our current design uses a lot of what was discussed here. Our WISP network is fully routed wish OSPF. We have RouterBoards at all our wireless sites, still use some RB450Gs at some smaller sites, la...

Saw in the release notes that CoA is now working. I'm testing it now, but am having a problem. I am running 6.33 on both the User Manager and the PPPoE server, and I keep getting the error in the logs when I try to switch profiles via the user manager, "could not add address list: empty list na...

I am also still waiting for this feature. I run a leftover RB450G from our WISP at home with a external wireless AP, I would really like to use the HomeVPN function without having to purchase a new router.

Red0ktober

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Red0ktober

We have redundant OSPF routes to our wireless sites, and when the route to the radius server changes (for failover or load-balanced configuration), the source IP picked up by the radius server changes. At least with the Mikrotik user manager, this results in duplicate sessions as it appears to the r...

When we first started converting to PPPoE from static assignments a couple years ago, we put a 24 hour session limit in place. This was suggested to me by someone, or maybe I read it somewhere, but I can't remember who or where. For the most part, it works fine. The mikrotik closes the session after...

I bought a commercial automated FTP application which is working for us.

Everything on the router was working, they are generating the backups daily, but something wasn't working with mtbackup.exe and our server.

Red0ktober

I've configured my router and server for FTP backup as per the wiki (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Automated_Backups), and I'm not getting any errors, but no file is downloaded to the hard drive. I can connect to the router via FTP and download the file manually. I'm running ROS v4.17 and using Win2...

Would it make more sense to move UM to a subscription paid model? Its a decent bit of software users are asking for to be fixed and it's a hard business case to sink dev time into something you give away for free. I'm sure users that use it would pay for it if it meant some more time could be spent...

Red0ktober

Did you upgrade from previous RC or fresh install?

Red0ktober

User Manager has not been changed.[/i] I'm unable to log into the user manager in rc5 and rc6. I will try rc7 in a bit, but this doesn't give me hope. Is the UM still going to be refined? I like a lot of what I see in v5, but it still needs some work. Doesn't seem like there have been any updates t...

Just upgraded x86 hardware and trying out the UM included with 5.0rc4. Is the DB compatible between v4.x and 5.0rc? We're trying 5.0rc4 out in a production environment, but would like to have the option of falling back to 4.13 at any time. I'm keeping our previous server hot with v4.13 and I'd like ...

I've tried these scripts on v4.11, but they don't seem to do anything. Don't seem to hit the processor either. My backup weighs in at 24.7Mb. Our UM server is x86, but just as an exercise I tried to restore the database to an RB450G (also running v4.11), but it times out. I think I need to thin down...

Red0ktober

How many users/sessions do you expect to have? I'd recommend running the UM on a standalone RB or x86, not something with routing responsibilities. We were running the UM v4.5 on an RB1000 core router. As we converted users over to PPPoE the UM was tracking up near 500 sessions. Running reports in t...

Red0ktober

I do have redistribution on. I need to have that since these routers are PPPoE servers, correct?

Red0ktober

The best way to transition from our switched network to routed that I can figure is to set up the existing VLANs for our geographic areas as OSPF areas and start dividing off our existing tower sites with mikrotiks on-site. I've had a backbone area set up between our Riverstone (ASBR) and mikrotik r...

I'm about to order another RB1000U. I'm seeing on the roc-noc store that 2GB is no longer offered and max Ram on the routerboard specs is 1.5GB. Is that because of this issue?

Red0ktober

The "incompatible" RAM included with the RB1000 is Crucial PN: CT25664AC667.M16FJ2 The RAM I borrowed from my Mac that works is Crucial PN: CT25664AC667.16FG I'd be curious to know what exactly the issue is. I'm an ex Apple tech; new to Mikrotik, but the troubleshooting process is about th...

Red0ktober

Right, the RAM is obviously good, and I ran it through the RB memory test and it passed fine. The memory in my MacBook Pro is also Crucial, but a different part number. I'll have to pop the cover off my laptop to check the part numbers, but I can do that now... stand by...

Red0ktober

Turns out that the RAM was and wasn't the problem. Same symptoms with the replacement RAM. So I just installed that RAM in my laptop (where it's working fine) and I'm using a 2GB card out of my laptop in the RB1000 and it's also working a-ok.

Red0ktober

I found the trouble actually. Wasn't a default gateway issue or anything to do with the Riverstone. I thought I had removed the default configuration off the router I was using, but apparently there was still a NAT rule that was stopping me. I wiped the configuration on the router and started over a...

Red0ktober

Ok, this is still driving me nuts. The routing table in my Mikrotik shows a dst 0.0.0.0/0 with the gateway 10.0.4.1 (the RS). The riverstone seems to be advertising that default route properly. If I do a traceroute when attached to the mikrotik, I get a timeout at the riverstone: MacBook-Pro:~ pgers...

Red0ktober

The route table in my Mikrotik shows this: # DST-ADDRESS PREF-SRC GATEWAY DISTANCE 0 ADo 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.4.1 110 When a request hits the riverstone from the outside, it correctly hands off to the mikrotik it seems. Outbound traceroute shows a hit on the riverstone, so I'm thinking the config on the m...

This is just to let people know of a problem and solution I found with my RouterBoard I ordered an RB1000U to do some heavy lifting on our network, but didn't even finish configuring it before I noticed a problem.

I am working on integrating mikrotik routers into my network. The core router is a Riverstone, to date it has been the only router with the rest of the network being switched. I am installing new access points, and I want to have them running off the mikrotik with PPPoE. Here's what I want: [provide...

It's really not all that pricey considering we've been using all Trango gear up to this point. Ubiquiti CPEs are recommended for best performance with the Wavion, and those are cheeeeap, like $50-$80. Right now we're paying $288-$460 for our 5.8 and 900 Trango gear that don't have half the throughpu...

I haven't worked on this in a few weeks before this weekend, forget where exactly I left off. At this point I have an RB1000U talking OSPF with our core router. I have a class C of public addresses allocated to us from our upstream provider that I'm going to dedicate to the Mikrotik solution right a...

Red0ktober

Perhaps I misunderstood. I changed the MTU on the customer D-Link/Netgear/Trendnet router to 1440, not the Mikrotik.

Red0ktober

I guess I don't see the problem, in my testing PPPoE worked fine through a WiFi client.

Red0ktober

Looks like the default was set for change-tcp-mss=yes. Bumping the MTU down to 1440 seems to work great on the two routers that weren't working. Changed the TrendNet to 1440 and tested. The DD-WRT router had an "auto" setting for the MTU which also worked, but I can't see where it tells me...

I'm bench testing a mikrotik PPPoE concentrator (posting through it now).

I believe hotspot uses radius for authentication. I'm working on redesigning a medium sized wisp, transitioning to mikrotik (1000+ subs), and I'm opting to use the User Manager package over a radius server. Easier for me, there are pros and cons I'm sure.

Red0ktober

Similar to what I did. I'm not working 100% yet, but getting there. Though I'm posting this over PPPoE on my bench test RB450G pppoe server, authenticating to a RB1000U w/ user manager. Log in with serial and run the setup, that is the easy way to get your IP in there. Then log in with winbox and ad...

I have the RB1000U installed with the User Manager package loaded. Be installing a WiFi AP for PtMP fixed-wireless with a RB450G (overkill) beneath it.

The RB1000U will be taking a more active role for the rest of the network, once I test a workable migration strategy.

I've posted before with some beginner questions, having brought in an RB450G to bench test and demonstrate the advantages of PPPoE over our current methods. I have done that, and now I'm committed. I have the RB450G going out into the field the week, with another RB450G and an RB1000U being delivere...

Red0ktober

Well I thought it was a good question...

Red0ktober

I'm wanting to set up a pair of mikrotik routers as the core routers for a WISP of about 1000 subs. I can use VRRP to cover the routing portion, but what about redundancy of the PPPoE and User Manager portion? Can the routers be load-balanced at the same time?

Red0ktober

I'm in the same position, we are revisiting our network with 1000 subscribers and want to integrate mikrotik PPPoE. I'd be interested to know which direction you take.

Red0ktober

Ok, I was able to figure out some of my troubles. I'm now able to establish a PPPoE connection. Now I need to figure out how to work the route my public IPs through the concentrator and/or set up NAT.

Red0ktober

I'm working at a small WISP (1000 subscribers) that doesn't have any form of AAA set up, just using static assigned NAT addresses off the core router. Wireless gear is Trango, but that's not entirely relevant to this question. I have a RB450G that I'm trying to set up as a learning experience and pr...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this and figure out where to start. What prerequisites do I need to address?

Suppose the real trick is the migration path for about 1000 statically assigned routers, maybe carving off one AP at a time. To pitch this to the management, what are the most obvious pro's to moving to a PPPoE routed solution? Suggestions on the best way to set this up? If I load the ISO image on a...

Oh, so we wouldn't need an RB at each remote AP site if we can set up the VLANs right (had that in my head for some reason). Might involve upgrading some of our older hardened switches, but that can be done. And a RB1000U hardly costs anything. We are a very small company, I think I could make it ha...
