Overview: Two locations, each with a Unifi router, hyper-v server, and RouterOS running as a hyper-v guest. Each location has it's own internet service. Unifi routers provide a solid VPN between the two, but can not bridge layer-2 networks, so I'm investigating using a couple CHR's for just that pur...

Ahh, thanks for pushing me in a direction I would not have thought of. I'm using two Hyper-V 2019 hosts, and enablign the 'MAC ADDRESS CLONING' brought up the link! Oddly though, I get random timeouts (every 10 seconds or so) when pinging across the link from router-to-router as s well as pinging fr...

Ok, I think it SHOULD be working, but have not been able to track down WHY it fails. I can see the broadcasts for ARP via TORCH in the bridge and on ether2 on both CHRs, but never see any replies (thus the ARP entries on the External routers remain (incomplete). Setup in site #1: External router - 1...

I have two locations. At each location is a VM running RouterOS, and one interface (ether1), plus a "VLAN" interface with ID 401, on top of ether1. My goal is to have a small stretched VLAN between the two, VLAN ID 401. Every single guide I've ran across online talks about how to bridge th...

I agree that crafting solutions to unknown problems is indeed a waste of time, however as you have just showed, finding the exact cause of the problem is very hard. One of the things we will be doing (which we should have started with) is to move all the voip hardware (PBX and phones) to a separate ...

Thank you for the help. I've set it up like the example at the bottom of http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Voip, substituting 'ether3' for 'ether0-gateway', and the 192. address for my SIP provider address (as captured with TORCH during active calls). I also modifed the OUT mangle rules so that they wer...

My PBX is sitting a few feet from the switches and router, on the internal side. The incoming path is like this: ROUTER -> unmanaged GB switch -> managed GB switch -> VirtualHost -> We've tried using SIP servers located in LA (voip.ms) and Seattle (callcentric.com). All of them do drop calls occasio...

Thank you for the answers! Bandwidth: We have 50Mb down, 5Mb up. At most, we have 5 callers at the same time. We are currently using g.711 (ulaw) as the codec. Even with that codec (the least compressed), our bandwidth should be fine. I monitor everything with 'The Dude', and can see that there are ...

SPI = Stateful Packet Inspection and SIP ALG = SIP Application Layer Gateway. (A) The router is setup using NAT, and I have a bunch of firewall rules and NAT rules. Calls go through fine most of the time, but sometimes they will drop randomly. I have the VoIP service provider looking into this, and ...

Ok, just in case anyone else runs into this issue, all you need to do is remove the 'drop all' firewall rule.

It would be nice to see a note like "You need to add a firewall rule to allow data on ports XXXX through or else the connection will fail" on the testdocs site.

I've sent an e-mail to support (I'm within 15 days of purchasing), so we'll see what they say.

Hopefully they have a complete config for the RouterBoard 750 from the ground up for this simple setup.

Howdy! I'm having quite a bit of fun following various guides and watching nothing happen. :-) My setup is most likely similar to hundreds of others. Two locations. One router at each location. Each router does NAT so the internal network is represented by one public IP. I am attempting to connect t...

AH, that looks surprisingly simple.

Thanks!

What we've done to combat this issue (sharing between subnets) is to have static computer names/ip addresses, and static printer ip addresses. We also have a main fileserver with a static IP address. What I've done on all the computers is manually map a network shared drive based on the IP address. ...

I'm new to RouterOS, but from what I can see, it is very powerful. I've got two offices connected via a pptp link, both connect to the internet. Both are RouterOS. :-) I have a PBX VoIP server at once office, and VoIP telephones distributed throughout both offices. The VoIP server also connects to a...
