Good evening I am looking at changing the design of our network to save public IPv4 addresses and need some advice. At the moment, we are running 2 instances of CHR on 2 dedicated boxes each running VMware ESXi 6.7u3 with dual-channel 10G NICs going into a switch mesh to avoid any SPOF. We are wanti...

Good evening We have a lot of public /30s in our network for simple point to point links between base stations and with the shortage of v4 beginning to bite, I wondered is there another way of using internal addressing for these links without OSPF causing issues? In the past, we have tried internal ...

IPv6 Hotspot would be very nice to offer. Not sure if anyone elase has suggested it yet?

net365

We also use RadiusManager by DMA Softlab. Would recommend 100%

net365

Hi all We have deployed OSPF on all of our routers with a loopback address assigned to an empty bridge but when the unit sends an access request to the radius server, the source IP address is the interface it exited on and not the loopback address assigned to the box. This is not a big problem until...

Thanks aoakeley for your post.

We do not have any DNS resolving locally for security. Everything points to google public DNS. The only way to reach the hotspot is via IP address. Could this be the problem?

Thanks

Hi all Every other day we get a call from a customer complaining their phone/laptop is always having to log into the hotspot and sometimes in quick succession. When more information is gathered the common denominator is that it's an Apple product (either a iphone or a macbook)? The current workaroun...

Any plans for a Mikrotik LNS/LAC for DSL handoff?

Unable to edit SNMP settings!

Closing the window then opening it again solves the issue.

Hi mnsmill There is a high chance the graph data was stored in the RAM memory and was lost when the power failed. Typically storing the data in the onboard flash will create a huge amount of read/write operations and will kill the flash over time! Look at setting up remote syslog or consider the dud...

Hi Deac and thanks for the advice

Device is now updated to 5.5.4 but still suffers the same issue

I did notice it was using WPA2 AES so i downgraded it to WPA AES but this has not stopped the drops.

Is there anything else that can be changed to stabilize the link?

Thanks. Jon

net365

+1. It happens at least once a year here. Would be a very good feature to have

net365

So this has never happened to anyone else on here?

Hi all We have a RB433 in AP mode connected to a 16Dbi Sector serving 2 customers. Customer 1 is connected via a RB711 in a stationbox and is very stable. The second customer connects using a Ubnt NanoBridge M5 in station mode and this is where the problem exists On the AP it is showing the Ubnt uni...

In radiusmanager when you added the new NAS did you hit "restart radius server" under tools?

Its a very common mistake and people spend hours trying to find out why their radius is not responding (including us in the past)

net365

This may be unrelated but do you have SSTP enabled?

We had an issue with SSTP on that build a while back. Simply disabling it or upgrading to ROS5.22 or above fixed it.

Hi lambert The ports are bridged so technically the RB2011 is a giant switch. The connection was tested through the RB2011 but i will attend site and test again via connecting direct to the SXT. All CPU load is normal. I monitor the system via the dude and have never seen the CPU rise above 30% on a...

net365

Thanks samsung172

The odd thing is im loosing quite a bit of speed before it even gets to the omni?

With your advice is is best to keep SXTs out of the 5.7-5.8Ghz band then? Would RB711s be better with stationboxes from RFelements?

Jon

net365

Hi all We have recently upgraded our network to SXT-G units in a hope to solve a speed issue but without any luck. We are getting a huge drop in TCP throughput on each hop to the point where it is causing speed issues for clients on the end of the line. Things we have found out by testing and genera...

Hi all I have a RB1100AH connected to our upstream ISP via gigE copper cat5 on Eth12 and our core switch (extreme 5i) on Eth1 This has worked for close to 6 months but for some reason we are getting dropouts every 48-72 hours now. The error count on eth12 will be 0 for ages then all of a sudden it w...

net365

I have the exact same issue on a RB1100AH with 6/7 clients. ROS 5.19 AND ROS 5.20

MT confirm its a bug and will be fixed next release. Can you get away with using L2TP/PPTP? We have to use SSTP because one of our cable providers blocks the other 2!

Best of luck

Jon

net365

Hi

We use 5.19 and 5.20 here on that hardware as our core routers

Seams stable as long as you do not want to use SSTP?

If you use SSTP cpu will sit at 100% (MT confirm its a bug that will be solved next release)

net365

Any idea when IPv6 Hotspot will be created?

Thanks. Jon

net365

Cool. Thanks for the update. Is there an ETA on the next release?

Thanks. Jon

net365

Hi all We have just noticed our RB1100AH is using 100% of its CPU. When profile is selected it is recording 75-80% CPU usage on PPP? The box only terminates 6 tunnels (2x SSTP and 4x PPTP). They have hardly any traffic going in the tunnel as its for radius to communicate with access controllers accr...

Hi We have experienced the same on our links. We have a 50Mbps leased line at the base station and by the time it comes out the tower to a clients site its 20-30Mbps. When the speed test via speedtest.net is done on the wire at the base we get the full 50Mbps? Even more confusing, when we run the bt...

net365

Also forgot to add. If the user has connected their machine first before the MAC user is created we have to go on the controller and remove the DHCP lease so the device can auth next time its seen. This is also a pain but would be cured if PPPoE and hotspot can exist together

net365

Hi all Is it possible to have a hotspot server and PPPoE server on the same ethernet interface? We have a few machines (games consoles) that cannot access the hotspot page as the device doesnt have a web browser but does have a PPPoE Client. Currently we create a MAC user to get around this but its ...

Hi all

I'm back to square one! I tried to bond 2 EoIP tunnels together to increase bandwidth to one of our sites but it proved unstable. Using the below diagram is there any other way to bond 3 ADSL lines together (VPN?) without using EoIP? Thanks all. Jon

net365

Hi and thanks for your reply Nothing is using MLPPP (Connections are over standard ADSL). Only other option i have is to VPN bond somehow. I see traffic being split on the bonding interface and sent down each EoIP tunnel, Its just both EoIP tunnels are being routed down the same physical interface i...

Hi all I’ve got a bit of a problem with bonding 2 interfaces.
