the subnet given is 255.255.255.248

Mine's 255.255.255.252 or /30

That mean, the 2 ip is route to your router already. If you trace route from another network (ISP) you see it will reach your Mikrotik router.

This is odd. I think I'm wrong about the subnet mask.

My fixed IP & mask as given by TM is x.x.x.65 & 66, mask 255.255.255.252.

x.x.x.65 is assigned by PPPOE. I added 66 in /ip address. Now traceroute completes for 66 and I can telnet to both IPs.

Just for the heck of it, I added 64 & 67 as well. These work as well. Seems like I have 4 fixed IPs. Hmmm. (63 & 68 doesn't)

From where on the RB750GL do you see the subnet mask given by PPPOE?

OK, I did a /ip address print and the PPPOE assigned IP is x.x.x.65/32.

if not mistaken usually the ip assigned to the pppoe interface

is the gateway to your other ip that is given..

That is usually the case, cause one IP for TM router, another for your router, and 2 for your fixed IP.

Last time when my office using one fix IP ADSL, i can use 2 inside the router. But if you need to map external IP inside your office / network you can only do one equipment/server.

To do load balancer on Mikrotik you need a script for that otherwise it will be total fakap

just found out 5.13 is out

Yeah



Will do the update later :-)

For Mac users (& Linux too), I just found out today that winbox.exe works just fine with WineBottler. No need to boot-up Parallels or VMWare just to run it. Only thing that doesn't work is device discovery.

Added on February 16, 2012, 2:19 pmmfa333 plans to bring in the RB751G-HnD! Anybody planning to get one?

How much is the RB751G? Same price as the RB751U?

The CPU and FPS about the same, not worth to pay too much difference. Maybe RM 50 to 70 extra is ok.

It's listed in mfa333's thread already at RM380 so that's +100. But in his reply to my question, he said 350-380. Might be in by next week.

I called Landasan also, they say they're going to bring in at the end of Feb. But these guys cannot depend one. Last month I ask for RB750GL also say end of the month. Nothing in stock for now. I think they prefer doing training than selling hardware. Better margins.

Paying another RM 100 for all the same with just Giga port. To me not worth it. Maybe you have specific use for Gigaport but I don't see the use on my equipment.

I'm waiting to see if Landasan can bring in cheaper. Last time they were selling the RB750GL for RM210. 40 bucks less than the LYN.

You're using RB751U-HnD already right? Did you manage to solve the problem with the network throughput dropouts caused by high CPU usage by the Flash process?

I don't have dropping issue, Even using torrent for few hours did not have this problem. But I don't leave the equipments on 24x7, I usually off before leaving to work.

I wanted a quick & simple way to monitor Tx & Rx rates for my local devices. There's Traffic Flow & Accounting in the RB750GL but I had no idea what they're for nor how to use them. I was going to ask here but thought I'd give it a try first. I checked the Mikrotik forums and found an example using Simple Queues to achieve that but it seems to interfere with my existing queues and only shows Rx rates. In the end I realize that I can do this by using IP Mangle. Maybe this will be useful to someone. My apologies if it's already common knowledge.



Basically I just add 2 Mangle rules with a passthrough action for each IP address that I want to monitor. The result in winbox is this, which is exactly what I need.


I'm sure this has been done before. Am I doing it the right way? Or is there a better way to do this.

Added on February 17, 2012, 11:32 amMy mistake, it was JinXXX, post #130 in this thread. I remember he posted on the Mikrotik forums too.

@JinXXX did you manage to find out what cause the dropouts and solve it?

This post has been edited by soonwai: Feb 17 2012, 11:32 AM

nope.. never did found out and nobody seems to know anything abt it.. other than some people are experiencing it..

im guessing its a bug.. not sure if it exists on the new 5.13 but seeing the mk forum..

seem like 5.06 and above seem to have weird funny problems..

maybe u can help bump the thread in mk forum see if anybody tested out the 5.13 and is still having the problem or not

ps : i malas wan to test and swap back n forth.. just need my network to run and work..

Good excuse for buying the 751G

Sure, I'll go bump it after this.
