L2TP over IPSec - BROKEN?

I am using a fairly new router with 6.40.3. I have setup L2TP/IPSec many times but am killing myself on this current implementation. Reading the forums it seems like L2TP has gone off the rails in recent versions revolving around the policy-template-group setting in your peer (seen the solution of e...

Re: MikroTik News May 2016 (Issue #72)

Been waiting to try the wAP ac for a bit - resellers in the US all saying the device has not yet been approved?

When can we get one?

Today they are getting the same (97.5Mbps Symmetrical) after adding the following Fast Tracking Rules in the Filter below. While running the bandwidth test wide open - the CPU ne...

Re: ISP requires VLAN and pbit set

Drew- Any luck? We have a new Google Fiber install in Lee's Summit. Our speed tests are abysmal. Google support says VLAN tagging and pbit/priority is no longer necessary on most all of their connections and confirmed this one should not need it. Their solution is: plug in the Network Box and connec...

IPv6 and IPSec

We are still an entirely IPv4 organization. We have run IPSec VPN's for Windows and iOS clients successfully for a long while. However, we are now noticing when our remote folks are in a place where they are assigned an IPv6 address (usually this is on iOS where you cannot disable it), or where the ...

Mikrotik as an SSTP Client to a Windows 2008 R2 Server

It's a long story that I will spare you from hearing - But I have a network, several actually, that will be connecting to a Windows 2008 R2 server at a data center using SSTP. RRAS is installed on the server and I can connect flawlessly with any Windows client and ping the private IP address of the ...

Syntax Errors - some sort of pre-run?

If I am running a script, and a single line has a syntax error - would the script not run at all? In example, if I declare a global variable in line 1 of a script, but line 10 has a syntax error - should I expect the global variable to be declared?

I am not seeing them being created.

The Value of This Forum

...this post started as a long one about scripting IPSec changes. As I actually wrote my problem out, to explain to you, a person not so close to this network, I could see my mistake and correct it and thus no need for the post. How many times I have answered my own just by typing it here...:) Michael

Re: RB2011UAS-2HnD stops responding spontaneously

I downgraded to 6.9 and the issue persisted - I checked and my firmware was still 3.14 showing an upgrade available to 3.10. I applied the firmware (I assume 3.10 is the latest for use with 6.9) and rebooted. More info to follow.

Re: RB2011UAS-2HnD stops responding spontaneously

We are on RB2011UAS using 6.12 and firmware 3.14 - still occuring here.

We have this machine setup to run the following:

L2TP over IPSec for Road Warriors
Site to Site IPSec

I am planning on downgrading to 6.9 today if possible.

Re: LAN to LAN IPSec with 6.9

Just two subnets - not really anything else going on.

Added the firewall rule and it seems to be working like a champ!

Re: LAN to LAN IPSec with 6.9

I have attached the exports from each router. I changed the secrets and the public IP's, but they should match. I can flush the SA's on both sides and initiate traffic from either end and the tunnel and associated SA's seem to come right up. Every once in awhile (like right this second) the tunnel i...

Re: LAN to LAN IPSec with 6.9

After reading some of the other posts, I am going to downgrade to 6.7 on both sides and see if the config is good and the firmware is bad.

LAN to LAN IPSec with 6.9

I have two routers both using firmware 6.9. I am attempting to connect the two networks using tunneled IPsec (which I have done before). I can get the either of the two routers to initiate a connection to the other and see the two (and eventually more) SA's appear when I ping LAN to LAN, but the tra...

I recently noticed I had become the DNS server to the world - the 'Allow Remote Requests' check box by default in DNS got me. I added a UDP filter in the input chain on port 53 as I don't host a DNS server answering requests outside the network. Just looking for confirmation: I have three sites conn...

Re: Replacing ATT MPLS with Mikrotik Site to Site VPN

SOLVED - I think :) CelticComms - using Torch was the trick. We were able to see traffic from the BCM phone switch which consisted of packets sent to 0.0.0.0/0 - which were not defined in our IpSec policy as we just connected the two subnets. I added a policy in IPSec consisting of the source IP of ...

Re: Replacing ATT MPLS with Mikrotik Site to Site VPN

The primary lines are all at one end. The locations are 60 miles apart. There are a few local lines at the secondary end, and the BCM decides when to use them - so if a local employee calls a local number, they use those, otherwise they all go out one end. Calling a number, without a transfer in the...

I understand that ETH1 is configured as the standard WAN port and ETH2 is the standard LAN port. Can we configure a port between 3 and 10 to use a secondary WAN connection?

Thanks.
