Hello again,
I just finished building a WISP for 50 customers but 200 have joined. I've started upgrading backhauls and everything is going great.
I need some help employing Tomas' script for this site as i'm upgrading to 2Gb backhauls and want to get this additional capacity through to customers. The network is all layer 2 with a VLAN per customer and "data vlan" feature to strip tag at CPE - this keeps network secure and stops broadcast issues.
So, the setup is;
- 1 Mikrotik 1009
- Dual Gb fibre WAN with one static route and one PPPoe to different ISPs
- 1 VLAN per customer with a 10.0.0.0/30 address per
- Cue done at customer router (hAP AC2/3) but will remove soon and use 1 PCQ rule with /30 as identifier
I have a couple of questions regarding this script as I tried unsuccessfully to get it working last night. It's in production so I need to be very careful (safe mode:)
- Do I need to individually add each customer's (10.0.0.0/30) network to the "connected" address list, or can I just put 10.0.0.0/16 as a single entry?
- What does this mangle rule do? "all connected networks going to connected networks - accept"
- If a LAN network like 172.16.0.0/24 is not added to "connected" address list, how will it behave?
That's all thanks. I need to properly understand everything I do so when I see a rule I don't get, I need to ask about it. I assume it's not a filter rule so won't just accept traffic going from connected to connected, but I don't know why it's there.
Thanks for your help. This script is still brilliant!
