Hi all, I want to find out more about using PCC I have 8x 4mb/512kbps ADSL lines, currently i use PCC to split the traffic into HTTP/HTTPS/p2p and then route it all out via different lines. My question is, is using pcc src-address the best/most efficient way to use these lines? I have set up another...

Hi ZeroByte, Thanks for the feedback, i agree its not perfect but i really want to prevent phones from munching important bandwidth. I figured this way i could lower the priority of the people who haven't changed their device names and rescue some of it ;) Ideally i would have the cleverness to setu...

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to mark traffic via the device hostname? I want to limit the amount of traffic that the devices with a hostname android* and *iphone* are allowed. I seem to recall being able to use some form of wizardry with hostnames in the hotspot section Is there maybe s...

tadpole

Looks like you are correct with that...darn it...I am going to have to attack this from another angle, maybe IP or Proxy based i think, many thanks for your time!

tadpole

Hi pe1chl The main issue i am having is Apple updates destroying bandwidth, so i figured by marking browsing, emails and a few other things give them higher priority then the other traffic (which i hoped would include the Apple update) would get throttled in favour of browsing. I should have given t...

tadpole

Im trying to put together a basic (and i mean really basic) QOS, I want to try and limit all other traffic and prioritize browsing. I see that on some examples packets and connections are marked ...my question is why? Is there a time when you mark the connection only and other times just the packets...

Hi all, I have a DNS question/maybe problem im not sure but my current setup for the DNS is as follows add action=redirect chain=dstnat comment=DNS dst-port=53 protocol=udp \ src-address-list=local to-ports=53 Nothing crazy and i have the dns as set allow-remote-requests=yes cache-size=4096KiB max-u...

tadpole

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could maybe shed light on dns in mikrotik for me. What is the UDP packet size and Cache Size used for? How does changing these values affect network performance and what should you use to work out the best settings you should be using? Are the static servers differe...

tadpole

Lol yeah i get that from using it ;) Are there any rules that you might recommend in a bridge situation to filter out web address/content? I would do it any other way but the setup has an Active directory and some pretty fussy software that doesnt play well with the hotspot. At the moment i have it ...

Hi all, I want to connect ether1 to ether5 like a bridge so that everything can go about business as usual but i want to add in some filter rules to drop certain traffic. The device im using is an RB750 and it works 100% when used as a gateway but i see you cant use in and out matcher interface when...

Thank you SystemErrorMessage!!! I didnt know that the "!" was for, i made an address list and added the IP in the list and just added them to the filter rule but as you said i excluded and voila!

thank you

Hi all, I have setup a simple filter list to drop access to facebook, youtube etc... using content filtering. Is it possible to allow an IP or three through these filtering rules? chain=forward action=drop content=facebook log=no log-prefix="" Is this an acceptable way of doing this? chain...

Heya, I feel your pain, i have been using Mikrotik for years and still know bugger all! Greg Sowell has some awesome training videos that really help a lot. Other than that i would recommend looking through these forums as pretty much everything is in here somewhere! As for the static IP address i r...

tadpole

hahaha, at least you know what you are doing! Im sure my wording could be better and am grateful that you have taken the time to help me! Just to confirm as i am having a looksee at the moment at this on the devices, this may be a silly thing to say but is the NAT the same as masquerade on ubiquity?...

tadpole

heya sorry man, i feel a bit noobish here ;/ I should've said that the 192.168.10.1 is the Routers LAN side IP and the 192.168.1.123 is the WAN side of the IP. I can access the device IP on the WAN side, so from the SiteB (My IP would be in the 192.168.10.0/24 range and the devices WAN side IP is in...

Heya sorry the WLAN is a Wireless LAN, or WAN... It has a UBNT radio for AP and UBNT Stations in Router Mode, i can access the IP's of the other devices and have been using portforwarding but i want a LAN type link to share files and such through windows networking. I figured something like a tunnel...

thanks for the reply boen_robot, will try it out now and post, i was also thinking about maybe using SNMP even to get the info.

Hi guys, I have been trying to figure out a way to get the system health, in particular the system voltage off a RB750UP to be a easily viewable as a widget/page on a wordpress site. Is this possible? Alot of what i have seen is a bit confusing, I was imagining intially that it would be some kind of...

tadpole

Hi Soroush! Thanks for the reply, I couldnt get any traffic to pass with the IP specified, but it would start when i set it to the ethernet port, is this a routing issue maybe? Basicially i want to make this darn PC accessible from ether1 and im on ether5. The two networks are separate but i can pin...

tadpole

have you tried using some pcc? I believe you can /ip firewall mangle add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting comment="Voip" in-interface=ether1 \ new-routing-mark=voip passthrough=no protocol=tcp src-port=1234 /ip firewall nat add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment="voip" disab...

tadpole

Hi all, I can figure out how to use this darn SRC or DST address thing, if i have a port setup to forward to a specific IP can i limit it to 2 IP address only? And would it be under SRC or DST address under NAT or Mangle...or both? Actually is this doable or have i missed the plot? Setup is as follo...

Hi guys and gals! Is it at all possible to resolve a request for something like 1a.abcd.net to an IP address inside a network?

dunno if this makes sense but here it goes... the problem was coming from one pc in particular, so format and etc... plug back into the network and all is well.

dang so that would mean that using the VLAN's and Hotspots are the best way forward? Otherwise it appears to be quite a pest to add an extra GB if needed ;p

Thanks sergejs!

Hi guys! I was wondering if there was another way of limiting users data without doing the whole hotspot thing? Is it at all possible to make it limit total data on say an ethernet port? If not is the VLAN with multiple hotspots the only way to go? The reason i ask is because I have two offices i ha...
