If i undersnd your q - you try to enable LACP between laptop (windows) and mikrotik? So, I should clarify that LACP is not the issue, the limitation is that I cannot bond slave ports, so when I remove them from the port group, I can't get VLANs to work even on one of those ports, much less an LACP ...

The primary issue that I'm having is that I can't create an LACP bond between two ports on my CRS125-24G-15-IN because they are in the same port group, slaves of ether2. I've followed the best practices for CRS VLANS on the wiki, and everything works great. But in order to create the LACP bond, I ha...

Any thoughts on this? I'm at a total loss here.

Could probably be structured better, but it doesn't work in RouterOS to begin with.

I am simply trying to detect all but two subdomains for a specific domain in layer 7 (for DNS forwarding). This should return true for all subdomains of example.com except for sub1.example.com and sub2.example.com. I've tried for hours different combinations using negative lookaheads and lookbehinds...

How are these IPs provided to you? e.g. Does the ISP expect the IPs all to be available on your WAN interface or is the ISP routing a block of public IPs via an independent link network (using a different IP range).

It's a small /30 block routed via my primary WAN IP.

I have a block of IP addresses that my data center provides to me. I am currently using one of them as the WAN IP on my Mikrotik router. I need to use the others on a single web server, as Apache requires that you use a separate external IP address for each SSL certificate. I want to keep the server...

I'm having what I believe to be a routing issue on a very simple client-to-site (Mikrotik 192.168.101.0/24 to Mikrotik 192.168.2.0/24) L2TP setup. The VPN itself works great. I can connect from any road warrior desktop to the remote network and ping anything. When I add an L2TP client interface on m...

I did try this tutorial, but found that this is *not* a solution for road warriors, but rather for site to site VPN. If this IS for road warriors, could someone please explain how to adapt it to a single L2TP connection? Have you read through http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=29668 ...

I did try this tutorial, but found that this is *not* a solution for road warriors, but rather for site to site VPN. If this IS for road warriors, could someone please explain how to adapt it to a single L2TP connection?

I'm also frustrated by this. Most companies have road warriors, not just offices that can rely on BCP. You'd think Mikrotik could just "make it happen", but waiting indefinitely is just not acceptable. About 6 years past since this topic was started and nothing changed... Described issue i...

I've spent the last 14 hours or so trying to find out why broadcast traffic is not being sent over my VPN (desktop client -> L2TP/IPsec). I have been using this tutorial . I need to be able to see network devices from Network Places on my PC and Network on my Mac. I have been through every Google re...

Works great...internally. I thought I had my port forwarding right, but I guess not. This is what I have:
Thank you for helping me with this.

The person who first replied to my post told me that L2TP settings were not necessary, so I'm not sure what to provide you as far as that's concerned. /ip ipsec proposal set default auth-algorithms=sha1 disabled=no enc-algorithms=3des lifetime=30m \ name=default pfs-group=modp1024 /ip ipsec peer add...

I have attached my configuration below. Thanks for taking a look at it.

Guys, I have been tinkering with this some more, but t no avail. It would appear as though I have everything I need for my IPsec VPN to work, but still it would appear as though there is no service utilizing port 500. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Even after I follow your instructions, I cannot connect to the VPN. I cannot even telnet into port 500, so it sounds like the server is not running? I have added a firewall rule to forward the port.

Any advice for me on this, guys?

Following the wiki post " L2TP + IPSEC between Mikrotik router and a PC ", I attempted to set up my own VPN server. When I add the IPsec policy, my x86 router running 5.0 RC7 loses all of its connections. To remedy this, I used the console to disable the policy, then all connections were r...

That was my concern. I assume then that this sort of implementation is just not practical.

It seems like most members of this community are interested in exploring methods for blocking BitTorrent traffic, but I have an idea for something a little different. My goal will be to implement a BitTorrent "blocklist" at the router level to block malicious IP addresses, but allow BitTor...

Thanks very much for your help. I'm very satisfied with my configuration. I look forward to implementing some unique and powerful enhancements to my new MikroTik router.

Got it. I'd love it if you could chime in on some tiny details to perfect my new router. To begin, with regard to port forwarding, I read on the wiki that I just need to add a dstnat rule. Apparently a destination a WAN destination address is expected, but what value should I use if my ISP is uses D...

Wonderful, that was the solution! My final question implores your personal recommendation. I'd like to know what my next configuration steps are assuming this router will be used as a firewalled home router. Vague, I know, but any direction will be beneficial. Thanks! EDIT: Also, I'm finding that IP...

I just setup RouterOS 5.0 RC7 on my x86 box with two NICs. The setup was easy enough; made ether1 a DHCP client for the WAN and ether2 a DHCP server and default gateway for the LAN. I've established Winbox connectivity, but I really have no idea where to go to get ether2 (my LAN) connected to ether1...

Hello, Having been a residential m0n0wall user for a couple years now, I'm now ready to take my limited networking experience to the next level. After doing some research, I think that RouterOS is the best fit for me, but I admit that I have a great deal to learn before I can take the plunge. Right ...
