Winbox into mikrotik wireless wire in front of router?

Have a unique situation and am stumped. I need to access a wireless-wire link to check signal strength that is between Cable modem and router. Is this possible? I am remote and can't go onsite. Cable modem ---> Wireless Wire Set ---> Router with public IP. Is there anyway I can access the wireless w...

Re: How to intentionally make cable that will negotiate at 10 mbps?

Yes it would be much easier to plug into a 10 mbps switch; but for this particular lab the cable needs to be the bottleneck that the technicians need to discover during their troubleshooting. I'll play with it as you mentioned; I'll even try putting some resistors in there and see what happens.

How to intentionally make cable that will negotiate at 10 mbps?

I am designing a troubleshooting lab for a team of networking technicians and I have a need to purposely make cables that will only negotiate at 10 mbps. Wiring 1-2 & 3-6 pins forces 100 Mbps as we all know; which is also what 10 Mbps uses. So its not a matter of pairs. I've seen plenty of bad c...

We use OSPF and are having a strange problem where if a path goes down, sometimes it does not re-route correctly and we have to reboot a router on one end of the VPLS tunnel to fix it. I noticed one of our routers, 10.200.0.110 cannot ping 10.200.0.240 (another router). But it works the opposite dir...

Re: 2 VLANS with their own Default Gateway ???

Good. If you look in the routing table you should see routing entries for the various interfaces each marked with the routing-mark corresponding to the VRFs that you created. So I noticed that this only works for me if both Gateway interfaces have DHCP obtained IP's. If I assign 1 or both Gateways ...

Re: How to I give some clients a Public IP and some a NAT'd

I can only use ether1 and ether2

ether1 is the internet connection
ether2 goes to a large switch, which all devices are connected to. I cannot physically connect the other devices to ether3. Even if I could, I do not want to for the scenario.

Thank you for your help
