802.11ac SXT's
by Paul Julian 04 Aug '14

Hi guys, has anybody used the new RBSXTG-5HPacD radios as yet and have any comments ? We have a couple of short P2P links we were looking at doing, about 1km - 3km, there is a bit of 5Ghz stuff already in the areas and was wondering how these handle a bit of interference, we only need 100M but was thinking about trying the new 802.11ac gear when Duxtel gets some in stock. Regards Paul

Just wondering if anybody has successfully implemented the Mikrotik PPP Multilink setup through Telstra DSLAM's before ? We can't seem to get it to work, nothing we do seems to make the second link come up, I'm not sure if it's a Telstra thing or a Mikrotik thing Anybody had any luck with it ? Regards Paul

Duxlink Point to Point
by James Gretton 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Hi I have a point to point link, using the Duxlink A and B end configurations available off the website. Very happy with it, but I now need to convert it to a point to multipoint configuration. I have the following on one roof as an A end: http://shop.duxtel.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=30_45&products_id=145 Then the following on another roof as a B end: http://shop.duxtel.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=30_45&products_id=244 The A and B ends both work, but when I add a second B end, im getting the following in the logs: I cant find the option to restrict the number of clients anywhere and the A end configuration doesnt look like it sets anything like that. If anyone has an idea, im all ears. -- James Gretton JJL I.T

Hi again, Stavros - no NAT traversal Mark - the PABX is a Panasonic NCP500. The remote phones are cordless SIP extensions and an IP-PT handset. The RB2011's are running 6.17. While on the road today, I was wondering where the best place would be to place a wireshark box. Did you solve your issue Mark? TIA, Dave.

voip over ipsec tunnel
by David Ryan 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Howdy all, I have just installed a site to site ipsec tunnel as per the example on the Tik wiki. At one end I have a PBX that has it's own proprietary IP protocol (RTP based) and also has SIP extensions. The remote extensions connect over the ipsec tunnel to the PBX (routed, not bridged). All works well basically, except that on two occasions during testing, I lost voice completely at the non-PBX end for about 5-10 seconds, after which it restored by itself. The other end could hear me fine but I could not hear anything. I was able to look at the LCD (there is a RB2011UAS at each end) when this occurred and I could see a drop in the receive data down to zero while the transmit was still at around 100kbps. I have not configured any QoS at this stage. Keep in mind that pretty much nothing else was using the tunnel at the time. The WAN link is 12/4Mbps at both ends. Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening? Cheers, Dave. -- David Ryan - 0402 054 426 RJS Communications dsryan(a)rjs.com.au MTCNA, MTCWE, MTCRE

Mikrotik Wireless Multicasting
by Paul Azad 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hi I am trying to stream VLC from a wireless client to multiple other wireless clients, and also from wired to wireless and wireless to wired, but in all 3 scenarios, I don't get anything showing up on the client. Ideally I would like to be able to go from wired to wireless, but if it can only go from wireless to wireless, that will be acceptable too. Here is the network: VLC Server(192.168.25.240)--------wireless------(192.168.15.254(wired) & 192.168.25.254(wireless)) --------wireless------VLC Client (192.168.25.241) | | VLC Server(192.168.15.201)--------wired-------------------- Normally I run a PPTP VPN between the wireless clients and the Mikrotik router to ensure the other data is safe, but even without the PPTP tunnels, I can't get it to work. I have read through http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless and http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Multicast_detailed_example and set the multicast helper to full, but I can't seem to work out where the issue is. Any help, or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul

RB2011 not matching packets in dynamic queues
by Paul Julian 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hi guys, we have a strange issue with an RB2011 which we use as a basic LNS at a small remote site, it has stopped being able to ping the dslam that it connects to although layer 2 still works fine between the two, and whilst the config we have on it is identical to many others we have it refuses to match packets in dynamic queues which are created for the PPPOE connections which terminate on it. Even when creating simple queues manually for the PPPOE interfaces no packets get matched. I upgraded it to 6.15 initially and thought that was the issue, so I have now downgraded it to 6.11 but the problem persists. I am perplexed by this one, we have the same config running at a lot of locations and don't have issues, even with 6.15, and it's not the sort of thing I would have thought would be hardware related. Has anybody experienced this type of issue at all ? I know the next step is probably to netinstall it but as it's a production site it's hard to do rebuild like that due to downtime so I might just build up a new router and send it out as it will be a quick replacement. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Paul

routerOS 6.16 released
by Mike Everest 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi All, Noticed this in the changelog for 6.16: *) CCR - fixed rare file system corruption when none of configuration could be changed or some of it disappeared; something that has been experienced by at least 4 users that I am aware of (new users vanish after adding, can't write to filesystem, etc) - so it wasn't just our imagination after all ;-) Cheers, Mike.
