Sorry I didn't respond sooner I got tied up with a whole bunch of things that were emergency-er :-) I've continued to work with this on and off but have still had no success. Have also been keeping the firmware up-to-date in the hope that the issue will randomly get fixed but no luck on that front e...

Hate to post a "me too" post but I'm currently experiencing this exact issue at exactly the same time... so "me too" :-) Brand new RB5009, on CipherKey (Shaw) Cable in Canada. Router config wiped to defaults and exactly like the OP the dhcp client just sits at "searching...&...

I'm hoping someone may have a thought. I have a vanilla L2TP tunnel provided to me, the provider recommends/supports RB750GL as the client end device. I have not tested on that device, but they claim it's working fine. My assortment of Mikrotik hardware is CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+, RB5009UG+S+, RB750GR3 an...

I'm just wondering if it would somehow be possible to use one of the LED's on a routerboard RB493G to make an "internet" led? Essentially something that goes out and pings or otherwise tests connectivity to something or another out on the internet (ping google or whatever) and lights up th...

Sorry got pulled away on another project, thanks for everyone's responses. In particular @mkx I've known this but your explanation of why is the clearest I've seen. With that said, what I was really asking for clarification in this case is when I do have to add the IPs to the router, do I have to ad...

I'm configuring a router that has a /27 of Internet IP's assigned, the router itself is assigned the IP x.y.z.130/27 and the remainder of the subnet (.131-.158) is NATd through to various IPs on the LAN side (10.x.x.x). Have set up something similar in the past with a smaller subnet so it was easy e...

Update, have double checked that both the profiles assigned to users and the users themselves both are set to unlimited sessions, the problem still persists however. Can anyone provide any suggestions on how I can further troubleshoot why the users are only able to log in once before receiving the n...

We have a small hotspot set up for an office area. We have currently only one profile set up which has no restrictions, no expiry and the number of sessions per user is set to unlimited. We have some users that are reporting that they recieve the message "no more sessions allowed for user"...

Firstly, thanks for having exactly the same problem as me... on the same weekend. Rare :-) One question though... I had originally set up the provisioning in capsman as "create dynamic enabled" rather than "create enabled" (which is where I was running into problems not being abl...

Does anyone have a quick "recipe/script" for rolling out an L2TP/IPSec PSK (client-to-server) VPN on a Mikrotik. Apparently it's a little more complicated than my experience level with Mikrotik allows, and I'm just confusing myself more every time I try something and it doesn't work :-) So...

Have been tasked with making some config changes to a router not originally configured by me, and figuring out what all they've done has put my brain almost to the point of meltdown :-) My final task is to set up a couple of firewall filtering rules, should be simple right... but I know at this poin...

Just wanted to bump this.

I have been playing around on and off as I have time but still have not figured out how to get this configured.

Cheers!

Sorry for the long delay, have been out sick so I'm just catching back up.

I believe the VPN as currently set up is L2TP

Mike

Hoping someone can give me some hints in the right direction. We have a Mikrotik at our main office and another at a branch office. The two sites are connected via a VPN... all is working well. We've recently upgraded the internet connection at the main branch and now have native IPV4 and IPV6 conne...

I have a network comprised of 3 sites... each site has a Mikrotik and they are L2TP VPN's between the three. LAN-wise we have the networks 10.0.0.0/22, 10.0.4.0/22 and 10.0.8.0/22 with routing set up so that everything can connect to everything else. Needed to have external access to the network so ...

Silly question, how does the traffic coming from devices on ether3 to their gateway 2.2.2.1 get from that point out to the internet... should the route back from 2.2.2.1 to 1.1.1.2 be getting automatically created? I know the ISP side is ok and the traffic is coming to us as if I temporarily assign ...

Thanks Scott, that sounds easy enough that even I could do it GRIN!

I need a little assistance with a routing issue. I have an ADSL modem with multiple IP addresses connected to my Mikrotik (ether2)... the modem is in bridge mode and so the Mikrotik initiates the connection to the ISP via PPPoE. The ISP then assigns a fixed IP address (lets say 1.1.1.100 to me via t...

The RB493g is running ROS 6.39.2 and I believe 3.24 firmware. I will confirm the firmware rev once the wan link to that site comes back up today. I have not tried anything dramatic with the configuration as this is a live router. It has been running for 3 or 4 years in it's current configuration wit...

I have a Routerboard 493G in which I've had a Mikrotik WIFI NIC (2.4GHz, can't remember exactly which model at this moment). Client wanted to have 5GHz also, and I had a spare Mikrotik Wifi NIC around which supports 5Ghz (again don't have the exact model in front of me) which I pulled out of a spare...

Thanks SOB & Idlemind I'll give that a try. Sounds simple enough that not even I should be able to screw it up

The VPNs between the sites are L2TP/IPsec So you're saying I would just route the IPV6 subnet to the IPV4 IP on the remote routers... LAN or WAN-side IP? Would I not have to create a 6to4 tunnel or something first between the routers to carry the IPV6 over the IPV4 internet connections??? Cheers, Mike

I have 3 locations, all running Mikrotik routers. All 3 locations are connected via VPN, and the internal IPV4 (10.0.0.0/24, 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24 respectively) routing is configured so everything in all 3 offices is accessible from the others. We now have native IPV6 connectivity as well as I...

first of all you can't use 2.2.2.113 on one of the servers, it has to be assigned to ether3 like 2.2.2.113/28, the servers will get ip's from 2.2.2.114 to 2.2.2.126, all having netmask 255.255.255.240 and gateway 2.2.2.113. i don't see the need for 2.2.2.96/28 if you are NAT'ing on ether1 Point tak...

Draw a diagram (hand drawn is more than fine) of your projected setup including any other routers on your lan and post it here so that we can use it as a reference to guide the thread... Thanks Pukkita... here's a quick drawing of the IPV4 layout for starters, I'll draw up the IPV6 side when I get ...

I've had quite a bit of experience with using Mikrotik as a NAT/SOHO device but I'm now involved in a project that requires that (at least part of) my configuration is more of a true router, with the addition of IPV6 on top of the equation. I'm having a little more of a problem wrapping my head arou...

Have just noticed that when trying to run winbox from the router's login page (493G) that I get an error 404... same on both of my routers. Has it been (temporarily) removed?

Cheers,
Mike

I have a router with multiple WAN interfaces and I've been able to configure it such that traffic coming in on a particular external IP address is sent back out on the same interface that it came in on. However I also need traffic originating from a particular internal ip address to be sent out on a...
