LED colours on an RB260GSP...?
by Karl Auer 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

I can't seem to find good info on what exactly the led colors mean on an RB260GSP. When it's powering an RB951G via PoE, the relevant port's LED is basically amber, but it flicks red frequently and irregularly with activity. If I power the RB951G from mains, but still connected to port1 on RB260GSP, the relevant port LED on the RB260GSP shows steady green or flickers with activity in very much the same pattern as the amber/red does. The RB951G powering is not suffering while on PoE as far as I can tell. No console interruptions, no packet loss, so the power input must be fairly steady. I think the amber colour is actually green plus red, and when the green flickers off during activity, the LED looks red. Which would mean that the LED is actually always showing red... Any clues?

Best tutorial on VPN access for Windows?
by Karl Auer 03 Sep '18

03 Sep '18

I've always used SSH tunnelling to get access to stuff behind MikroTiks, but a client has just asked for VPN access from his Windows box at home to a network behind a MikroTik. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or doco on making that happen? A lot of the stuff out there seems to just be PPTP, which doesn't seem very secure. And a lot of it seems old. I'm not a Windows guy, but I am hoping that there is a way to set this up on the MikroTik so that a Windows VPN can be set up out of the box. Yours hopefully, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer (kauer(a)nullarbor.com.au) work +61 2 64957435 http://www.nullarbor.com.au mobile +61 428 957160 GPG fingerprint: 8454 EE43 6215 B6DD 1B4D 9D8D 984D 7BA1 7378 A38D Old fingerprint: 58F8 09D4 97E4 D74A 0940 44BC 8D6D C28C 3BC9 B0CB
