Hello, I have a second x86 Dude acting as an agent for my primary x86 dude installation. It connects initially, but disconnects at some point and doesnt auto-reconnect. Then, if I manually click connect from the primary Dude server, it reconnects and works for another random amount of time. Is there...

Is there a minimum range between RBSXTG-5HnD devices?

The site were using these is about 1.5KM distance between points and do have site to visibility with no obstructions.

Also, the first site is about 11 meters up the second 8 meters up. Is the height differential a problem?

Thanks.

Not sure if its ever been mentioned, but a Neorouter client or server for RouterOS would rock.

If global-in and global-out are now gone and replaced with just global, then how can we set different queue rates for children on egress and ingress without the parent globals?

Also, this page should be updated to remove the global-in and global-out now.

For Cisco, Juniper, Zebra/Quagga, there are tools made for troubleshooting from a web interface such as Looking Glass software that presents a simple web interface for doing BGP queries as well as traceroute's and pings. Is there such a program designed to work with ROS 5.x/6.x ? I am not a programm...

Duplex mismatch or bad cable(s) will cause this too. Some ISP's hard code their 100Mb port to full duplex. An auto detecting 100Mb port might negotiate half duplex when the other end is full duplex. Configure your WAN port as full duplex and see if it gets better. Change out cords. Make sure they ar...

Winbox isnt saving its settings in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mikrotik\Winbox\. Winbox is also saving the .dll's it downloads in the %USERPROFILE%\Download folder, not the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mikrotik\Winbox\ folder. I tried deleting the Mikrotik folder to see if it would re-create it, ...

Or do you mean the Ethernet "LAN" interface doesnt show "R" status and the TX/RX counters are zero even though your PPOE interfaces show activity?

I dont understand the question.

"The out interface is not connected" ?

Same here. That article: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Advanced_Routing_Failover_without_Scripting Doesnt work for me either. Only the recursive addresses are reachable via the static routes, not anything else following the default routes pointed at the recursive address. Is there something missing ...

Make sure your Atcom phone is configured to use SIP NAT Keepalives. Any SIP phone behind nat needs this to keep the "connections" or "xlat" or "nat xlat" or other definition of UDP transformations from expiring. Lots of firewalls need this. I had Cisco 7960's in SIP mod...

Copy/pasting the ietf.org website is cool and all, but doesnt help us with Mikrotik and the DHCP options. The only example in the wiki is a static route and the value is in hex. Do all DHCP options need to be in hex to work? or in quotes? or in the case of option 150 in the example, perhaps "4,...

Ill try that too. I just thought that if a single Dude could handle it for say 20+ routerboards out in the field, parameters could be changed in one place and affect them all with the automation in once spot. Say for example, backbone provider A has sudden up/down flapping and 10 routerboards in dif...

Try using the SSTP interface name as the gateway for the far end LAN instead of the IP.

Using the IP address of the SSTP endpoint might follow the default gateway on the originating router before the tunnel is established.

I use SSTP tunnels with OSPF on them and it works great.

Is there an available metarouter that can run a session border controller for SIP?

Or any instructions more recent than 5 years ago like the Vyatta with OpenSBC article?

Thanks.

I was wondering if its possible to have Dude SSH to a Mikrotik to change the configuration on the fly. For example, if an SNMP poll of ETH3's RX is over 10Mb for 3 30 second polls, Dude might issue a configuration change to the Mikrotik to change the default gateway to ETH4 until 3 more 30 second po...

Do mangle rules get processed in order?

I have two mangle rules and both rules are being hit by each packet and the last matching rule is the packet mark that wins.

Id like the first matching mangle rule to mark the packet and no more possible matches with other mangle rules.

Another way that is working for me is to also uncheck "add default route" in the DHCP client entry and instead add a static route of 0.0.0.0/0 with a distance of 1 for your preferred interface and the same static route with a different distance pointed to the next preferred interface. Just...

I have a 750gl (which is 400Mhz as opposed to your 680Mhz faster CPU) and it gets me 52Mb from my Cable Modem. So, 20Mb shouldnt be the limit. Make sure you have the latest firmware 5.14 (as of this post). Also make sure you arent using bridges. You can slave other ports off a single one to use the ...

Hello, In cases of multiple asymmetric ISP services, the various types of load balancing examples on the Wiki really dont seem to apply since none of them are sensitive to the speed of the upload and download of each WAN. If WAN1 is a 50Mb upload/4Mb download Cable Modem and WAN2 is a 20MB Download/...

I was wondering if Winbox MAC based configuration will be available for SWos in the future?

Having to set my pc to 192.168.x.x to get into the web interface is a bit cliche.

One of Mikrotik's strengths is its lightning fast, always able to connect Winbox.

Try setting the distance on the Advanced tab to "indoors"

I have found this change makes a huge difference when using the R52Hn as an AP.

This had a dramatic improvment, thanks

I too am waiting for an answer on this. Their manual section: Vlan-header option (configured in /interface ethernet switch port) sets the VLAN tag mode on egress port. This option can take the following values: leave-as-is - packet remains unchanged on egress port; always-strip - if VLAN header is p...

Usually SIP ALG refers to B2BUA (Back to Back User Agent). I dont think its related to firewall service SIP which is a helper, not a B2BUA Sonicwall's, Cisco ASA's, Motorola Cable Modem/Routers, Cisco Small Business (Linksys) routers, all have SIP ALG. Sonicwall in particular calls theirs "SIP ...

Im still confused. My RB750GL doesnt show the VLAN-HEADER as an option in Winbox nor in the command line. How do you tell it to strip tags or add tags on a 750GL without the VLAN-HEADER option? In my case, I want ports 1-3 untagged VLAN 1, and port 4 tagged for vlan1 and vlan2 and port 5 untagged vl...

I too have speed issues with the R52Hn card in a 493G Routerboard running 5.7. I compared my laptop's Atheros AR9280 Dual Band performance on both the Routerboard as an AP and a Netgear Dual Band. I can get 90-150Mb through my Netgear but only 30-40Mb with the Routerboard. (I am unplugging my Netgea...
