Problem finally found. It's was right in front of my eyes all along. The bgp-ibgp-in routing filter, applied to iBGP peers (the contents of which did not make it into either of my posts, sorry) had a prefix range of 1-24 and needed to have a prefix range of 1-32 to allow for customer network announc...

dsovereen

The cliffs notes version of the issue is that RouterOS is not resolving eBGP next-hops/gateways that have a target-scope of 30 with OSPF routes to them that have a scope of 20. Is there no one else using Mikrotik with downstream eBGP customers using OSPF internally to resolve how to reach those eBGP...

dsovereen

The router that I posted output from above learns these routes from iBGP neighbors. It has a full iBGP peer mesh config and has no eBGP peers: /routing bgp peer add in-filter=bgp-ibgp-in name=rtr-1.twrvwi-4 out-filter=bgp-ibgp-out remote-address=64.7.163.120 remote-as=13549 ttl=default add in-filter...

I am in the process of migrating some routers from Cisco to Mikrotik. I am having trouble with a specific use case: down-stream BGP customers, which we don't have many of.

dsovereen

The workaround you advise, while possible, is far from ideal. Did you ever open a ticket with Mikrotik on this? I did and it would be helpful if others would too. This is a bug and it would be most helpful to get it fixed. Please consider removing [solved] from your post as this is a bug that most d...

So have you implemented that change... the change that will allow us to turn PoE on without the protection? I see that 5.12 was released, but no notes about a change here.

Thanks,

Dave

dsovereen

Is this dual power-supply setup possible with all Routerboards that accept power through both PoE and a Power port and don't use a jumper to identify power source? For example, RB751s and RB493s?

Dave

dsovereen

How? Can you give an example? Every OSPF route that Mikrotik advertises is seen by every other OSPF-speaking router on my network as distance 110, metric 20. Like this: rtr-1.mntwwi-1.mercury.net#show ip route 172.16.0.2 Routing entry for 172.16.0.0/18 Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, met...

dsovereen

Did you ever figure out a way to do this? I have a very similar situation... dual gateway routers with failover, and need to set the metric on certain outgoing routes to be higher than usual. I'm setting this up for the first time and have been head-scratching for an hour and a half trying to figure...

Why only 2.9? Why not 3.x?

System uptime is 4 days, 14 hours. Would be higher, except that an electrician accidentially shut off the power circuit feeding the rack this unit is in. This system is our least busy and the only one running 3.7. All others are 2.9.51. We roll stuff out to this system first before rolling something...

dsovereen

We're using PCQ in 3.7 without any problems.

Dave

dsovereen

We have a similar problem with proxy-arp not taking effect. For us, it only happened on interfaces with vlans configured. Took us a few back and forths with support, but they say they have figured it out and it should be fixed in 3.8.

Dave

dsovereen

I have what appears to be the same or at least very similar problem. I have IPSec between three Mikrotik RouterOS units. If one of the units reboots, the other units will lose connectivity to the network behind the rebooted RouterOS. The only way I can restore connectivity is to flush the installed ...

dsovereen

As best I can tell, the problem occurs where all packets on all interfaces are dropped for this period of time, regardless if they are packets to be shaped by the simple queue being added/removed. All packets on all interfaces drop for that 250 ms window (roughly) while the simple queue is being add...

dsovereen

I sent an e-mail with a supout.rif, screenshot, and ping log of the problem. I've found that doing: ping 127.0.0.1 size=1500 interval=100ms makes it really easy to see the problem. We run both PPPoE as well as DHCP. As Mikrotik indicated, it really does seem to be related to Simple Queues, because a...

That's exactly where my Mikrotik stuff is: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mikrotik\Winbox = C:\Users\dsovereen.CONTROLLER\AppData\Roaming\Mikrotik\Winbox But Winbox doesn't use the files there anymore. They are there. Winbox just doesn't seem to see them. I wish Mikrotik would diagnose this so ...

My Winbox just lost all of its saved sites. When I re-import from a saved list, everything is there. But when I close Winbox and re-open, everything is blank again. Also, Winbox has to download all plugins every time. Mikrotik: where does Winbox look to find its saved config? There is a folder at c:...

dsovereen

I agree. I would like to see it added to the graphing functionality that currently produces web pages showing traffic in/out on each interface... would like to have a second page for each wireless interface showing signal strength over time.

Dave

dsovereen

I'd like to be able to set 802.1p VLAN priority tags. Currently, you can set ToS bits, but that doesn't help for prioritizing non-IP traffic being bridged over a network.

dsovereen

I just posted a long message and one of the problems I am seeing on the PPPoE server seems similar to this. The thread is here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=10216. Is the sessions dropping problem seem similar to what you are seeing?

Thanks,

Dave

dsovereen

Make sure you e-mail support@mikrotik.com and send a supout.rif. They don't always act on information like this when its posted in a forum.

dsovereen

That was a mistake. We run Nstreme, not Nstreme2. I gotta start paying better attention to my replies. Sorry.

Dave

Although we only use the 8602 in production in 5GHz, we did test and run trials of the 8602 in 2.4GHz. The power output, when set to default, was 26dB. We had problems with the radios keeping clients associated, though, and after putting just a few into production, pulled them and replaced them with...

dsovereen

We use our 8602s in 5GHz exclusively. Can't comment on 2.4GHz operation. Should have said that. Sorry.

Dave

dsovereen

We have about 40 RB532s with 8206s installed and don't have any reboot problems with the tx-power set to default. If you set the tx-power, especially to something like 26, you will have problems. Setting it to default makes the RB532 operate stable AND you get 26db power (measured with spectrum anal...

Yes, Mikrotik will provide the transparent bridge you need. Set up backhaul link using WDS and bridge the wds interfaces to the ethernet interfaces and all packets will come through with their original MAC address intact and unchanged.

Dave

You really should update your manual and your tech support people if the wanPMC products are supported. I e-mailed about this only last month and was told support for wanPMC products would not be added until 2.10. While it's great to find out that wanPMC support is in there now, the confusion is qui...

What is the official procedure to switch the default frequency to 330/333? Mine always reverts back to 264/266.

Thanks,

dsovereen

You should set up the static ARP entry to point to the bridge interface itself, not the interface that is in the bridge. Be adviced that there is a bug up to the current version, 2.9.24, that does not make static ARP entries effective on a bridge interface after a reboot. When you reboot, you need t...

I don't know if you work for Mikrotik or not, but you seem quite knowledgeable about the subject. I found one bridge behavior that appears to be less than optimal. I have a DST-NAT rule in my bridge that changes the destination MAC address of packets with an destination of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (broadca...

dsovereen

I was moreso replying to the other gentleman who said he couldn't get bridging to work, but instead had to use EoIP. EoIP will be slower than WDS bridging. I haven't done enough testing to know if bridging is significantly slower than routing. But since we use bridging, I am certainly interested in ...

We bridge backhauls running the Nstreme2 protocol by placing one end into mode=bridge and the other end into mode=station-wds and configuring a wds interface on the mode=bridge side (you could also set up dynamic wds, but we run static). Then place the wds interface into the bridge on the mode=bridg...

Hello,

I am in urgent need of RouterOS 2.9.5 for RB500. Everything above 2.9.5 breaks WDS with Prism. It's a long story how I got myself in this predicament, so I'll spare everyone the details. Would just be really appreciative if someone could share 2.9.5 for RB500 with me.

Thanks,

We tested and are using this card, and leaving the power setting at default gives the advertised maximum power rates... 26 dB in 802.11b and what the chart shows in a/g modes. This same card is giving us problems supporting a large number (50+) of 802.11b clients. No clients can register with the AP...

Hello, We are/were in the process of changing our Prism APs to Atheros APs. The primary reason for this is that WDS on Prism APs broke in 2.9.5 and Mikrotik appears unwilling to acknowledge it, much less fix it. Not to mention that all new development seems to surround the Atheros cards and not the ...

Hello, I sent an e-mail to support quite awhile ago asking for SIP traversal through NAT (we're starting to see newer NAT firewall routers capable of doing this, usually marketed to people doing VoIP) and was told that it would probably be added to 2.9 in a little while. Well, it's been awhile now. ...

For us, WDS worked on Prism up to and including 2.9.5. Beginning with 2.9.6, WDS stopped. We e-mailed support@mikrotik.com and have gone back and forth on this forever.

I would like to add my support for this request. We are unable to use any SMTP functions in Mikrotik because our SMTP server requires authentication from Mikrotik's IP address.

We have found other RADIUS-related issues. Port-Limit, which is used to identify how many times a user can log in, is ignored and overrides the system setting.
