You can install OpenWRT on many Routerboards, so definitely worth trying if you think it's "a software issue".

troffasky

Ended up creating a Zabbix item of type "ssh.run" with an "Executed script" content of:

/interface/wifi/registration-table/print count-only

Only gives me a total rather than a per-radio breakdown, but it's good enough for me.

troffasky

This conflicts a bit with a lot of postings I have read (I think from Mikrotek) that the radiation pattern inside is basically spherical

If true, it would be an "isotropic radiator"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropic_radiator
So I think we can conclude that it isn't.

The best we can say about these devices being released today with too little storage and RAM is that it will force Mikrotik to optimise the software, and then everybody will benefit.

troffasky

Ended up switching off the 60G radio. Simply couldn't find a firmware version that was stable. Did you try RouterOS v7.11 or higher?

Well took forever to see this Newsletter just to release an LTE router and 8 port switch. From May to September. That hopefully means they are focusing on bugfixing the existing products. I can tell you now that if they put out a newsletter containing three different 6G routers with PoE-over-fibre,...

troffasky

Would be great to see some progress from Mikrotik on this. Maybe the Back To Home thing is the first element of the Devices Controller, who knows.... It could even be a source of revenue as well, eg storing logging/traffic information for reporting on - you want more than 7d of data, you have to pay...

troffasky

Seems like he has done more than Mikrotik have for a cloud RouterOS controller...even if it turns out to be a botnet controller or a data harvesting exercise :D

troffasky

Reboots on the AP, ie, did not improve stability.

troffasky

*) w60g - improved stability for Cube 60Pro ac and CubeSA 60Pro ac devices;

The 7.11alpha I was given by support did not fix this one for me.

troffasky

I keep hoping to be surpised in release notes on MIPS support for ZeroTier – just be good to know if that hope is misplaced from Mikrotik.

Yeah, this! I search every new release thread posted for mentions of ZT. We live in hope.

troffasky

troffasky

Seemed OK on the test bench, although we know test bench != the real world.

Yeah, about that.....now it's installed my CubeSA 60Pro ac has rebooted 7 times so far today, max uptime is 33 minutes. It seems like weak stations will cause repeated reboots. Going to try 7.10rc!

troffasky

Thanks for putting the theme back, sanity is restored.

troffasky

OK that's odd...from the "Your Posts" search, the icon column is not clickable but if I browse to another section, eg Announcements then every thread is clickable in the icons column with latest#latest on the end of the URL so it jumps to the first new post in the thread.

troffasky

For me link to last post work by middle click the posts icon.

Posts icon, I get it now. i in a circle most of the time, sometimes it's a flame. So it's still there, phew.
I have this site zoomed to 30% [yes, 30%, not 130%] to try and fit a bit more on the screen.

I hate this space-wasting theme. It also seems like jump to last-read-post doesn't work any more? Used to be a little icon in the link that would take you there, now I have to scroll through 200 posts to find last one.

When I saw in the newsletter that this was single band, I *knew* that was what would attract the most comment in this thread :-) 5GHz does seem like an omission to me, but despite all the comment, I do wonder what practical difference it would make to the use of the product - it seems to me at this ...

iperf3 tests using TCP are quite a bit lower then when using UDP (albeit some minor packet loss can be observed, which does usually not happen with TCP). iperf3 does not report [or, possibly even know about] packet loss in TCP mode.

@normis perhaps a quick documentation page on how to do mass deployment of blank devices after this change comes in, would be helpful.

In this way, it would be possible to configure all possible settings such as TrustedPath, Multipath, BondingProfiles, etc without having to add all bells and whistles to Winbox.

troffasky

While I agree with many of the flaws, point #3 is generally referred to as SDWAN and is implemented in RoS using ZeroTier. Sure, so long as you're using ARM. Three times now we have deployed Zerotier for a customer and *not* used CHR for the soft-router element because it doesn't support Zerotier.

troffasky

MT will never play any role in any SDWAN unless the boxes can understand & detect (many) application and steer accordingly.

Ask three network engineers what "SDWAN" is and you will get at least three different answers.

troffasky

What are those "loops" on either end of the RB5009?

troffasky

-It should definitely have a mode where the router reaches out to the controller, like how cnMaestro and UISP work. It allows devices behind NAT to be monitored and maintained without punching holes in a firewall.

In Newsletter say (write)"In our tests,the Cube 60Pro ac easily maintained a reliable connection over 2.4 km." Over means OVER 2,4 km. and not UNDER. Well it probably does mean "under", actually. I would be very surprised if it worked at 2.4km but not at 1.0km [although I wouldn...

Seems unlikely, they stopped making Tile-GX 72 core in October 2021 with a suggested replacement part of "N/A". So price would be going up not down.

Well of course this happens when I am away in holidays.

You need to add to your "going away on holiday" checklist, right after "cancel the milk", an entry saying "Disable ****ing script that updates my router without me there to test it".

You didn't respond to gotsprings's comment about local forwarding. That could account for lower performance with CAPsMAN.

troffasky

Needing to know the speed is not some inherent trait of PPPoE, but the router can't really prioritise anything if it doesn't know how much bandwidth is available.

Try disabling discovery on the PPPoE interface:

Does the packet loss go away if you go back to your previous router? Are you sure the packet loss is at your end and not happening upstream at your ISP?

Yep, working.

It is quite simple implementation (only checks for single inter-wire resistence

Doesn't sound very "passive" to me :-D

Thanks for the explanation.

troffasky

With a no-name 802.3af injector [48v] that had previously been powering the handset directly. I think the cAP AC came with a 24v PSU [can't find it at the moment] so it's unlikely that would have powered the handset.

troffasky

Then you would need to revise the brochure as it is clearly stated:
"It also supports passive or standard 802.3at/af PoE input/output."

I guess they never got around to fixing the brochure, https://i.mt.lv/cdn/product_files/PowerBox_200318.pdf still says this today.

troffasky

I powered a cAP AC with a PoE injector, then connected a Mitel handset to the POE-out port of the cAP AC and it worked fine. I wasn't necessarily expecting the phone to power up as the cAP AC spec says it's passive PoE out.

I can think of at least one reason why you'd want DNS queries to the virtual IP to work - high availability. If you give out one of the physical router IPs as the DNS server in DHCP options, what happens when that router fails over to the other one?

Why use WDS if it's routed?

If it's true that once speed is above 1000kbps, it shows as 1553.0... then report it to support@

Fetch it with wget and see where the redirect goes, and use that.

With regards to the rest of the thread, my experience is that the Intel wifi drivers do not allow >20Mhz channels on 2.4GHz, eg: https://communities.intel.com/thread/51241 I poked and prodded the iwlwifi module and settings with iw all I could but it stubbornly stays on 20MHz.

So if I would use the same range of ip addresses on two networks there would be a problem if I bridge the two? You should bridge (or switch the two) if you want to use the same range of addresses (same L2 segment). I mean if I have one computer on one network with the ip address 192.168.1.10 and on...

No, you don't need another CAPsMAN:

That's the "easy" answer but doesn't fulfil your original requirement of load balancing. Maybe bonding the two links would, however?

troffasky

Ideally to do what you want, the radio would be connectorised so you can have the two sets of antennae some distance apart [so that when one is obscured, the other isn't, hopefully]. You haven't mentioned which of the two bands you're using at present. Are you able to repeat the obstruction on deman...

What is difference between CPU usage on "plain internet" and VPN'ed internet?

Edit: TBH there is probably no point asking here. If an export of the config is identical before/after upgrade, then it's a RouterOS performance regression and nobody on the forums can help you with that.

troffasky

mind telling me the point of -> ac <- when your backbone is 100mbps?

If you are a performance junkie, you can either buy something else with gigabit ports, or trunk two 100M ports.

There will be several different VLANs on all the 24 access ports and I like to use both 10G uplinks to other switches on the campus as trunk ports. I´m not able to configure "/interface ethernet switch egress-vlan-tag add tagged-ports" because I can only specify one of the SFP+ ports. Wha...

Just says "PoE in 802.3at" [as do the websites of the usual vendors I have checked].

troffasky

Which is why I suggested trying to filter it.

troffasky

The idea with the bridge sounds weird, have you ever seen that live?

No, hence describing it as a long shot.

troffasky

Bit of a long shot....
Bridge your "crossover" link with your LAN uplink on each router. This is the long shot bit...can you apply a filter to just the LAN uplink that would block VRRP on that interface?

troffasky

Perhaps look at exporting flows to a netflow collector instead? Assuming you actually want to do something with this information once you've got it, a collector is a good place to start.

Using a different subinterface for each client won't scale well.

troffasky

One interesting thing is that it's possible to "mix protocols". Tell VRRP to use IPv6 and it will be happy with link-local addresses. And then you can add your single IPv4 address to virtual interface. I hadn't even thought of IPv6! A good justification for not using IPs in the same subne...

"Yes", some years ago: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=58420 "No", more recently: https://forum.mikrotik.com//viewtopic.php?f=2&t=95829 I don't see why the virtual IP needs to be in the same subnet as the real IPs. So long as the two real IPs can see each other, wh...

troffasky

It seems it's my option to take the Cisco router or not however they cannot monitor the line without it.

What do you guys think?

Do you want them to monitor the line?
If you want them to monitor it, is the cost of having their router worth it to you?

troffasky

Don't quite see what the problem is?

Perhaps that's because there isn't one?

troffasky

ntopng has an AS view but it's not really for reporting, more for a real-time view of stats. Has to beat looking up stuff manually though.

troffasky

So what is actually happening, is that router does see the initial request from client and does redirect it, but client is not able to get the certificate and thus the browser displays an error, right?

To start the SSL connection, doesn't the browser need first to connect to the server?

Based on the hardware schematic and public available information, there is large chance that the module is more like a linux computer with two bridged interfaces.

This is fascinating, and a little bizarre. Surely running an entire OS on SFP is a massive overhead?

troffasky

The behaviour you're describing sounds like a bug and as it's a very simple scenario, try reporting it to Mikrotik, however...which behaviour are you expecting?
- Disable interface, reboot, interface is enabled
- Disable interface, reboot, interface is disabled [and lights stay off]

troffasky

What should level of CPU usage for management be?

troffasky

Did you perhaps import backup from SXT to the other to speed up your deployment [I know that's exactly what I would have done]? Backup contains MAC addresses so doing this will cause, ahem, interesting behaviour.

troffasky

backups are intended for a given routerboard device and ROS version. I sense a business opportunity here - many admins only discover that they should have done an 'export' instead of a 'backup'[1] when their original router dies and they need to restore it on replacement hardware! You could charge ...

troffasky

I won't claim to understand it, but certificate is not encrypted so common name/alt name can be read from it.

troffasky

If so, this needs to be accessible remotely, ie through the usual RouterOS management tools.

So, in summary, can we pass 802.3af PoE in to the mAP2nD and get 802.3af PoE out of it? Not sure about 802.3af in ether2, but an active PoE device turns on instantly and works well...

Changing OIDs after a reboot or interface down/up is not a RouterOS bug, it is a problem in understanding how SNMP works.

There is a known limit of 1Gb/s on a single tcp stream.

I am certain that somebody from Mikrotik has denied this but I can't find the thread right now.

You say "only" but have you checked the "Performance test results" table for your model? Depending how you do it and how you have it configured [wot Revelation asked], 500Mbps could be well within the expected performance for this model.

I am actually not sure if I should be using a ppp client, a PPPTP client or a PPPoE client.

Short answer: no. Long answer: Almost. 'strings' will reveal some info from a .backup file but it looks more like status than config, to me [for example, can't see any IPv6 addresses in it].

From what you've posted, this is almost certainly a bug, so you'd be better off emailing support@.

The only way to know is to test it. There is no reason to test on your live system either, as there are plenty of ways you can mock up a config in a virtual lab.
