Cacti does not use MRTG. It has it's own internal polling system. Cacti
does use RRDTOOL though.

PRTG is free if you don’t monitor over 5 devices isn’t it?

Alright so I have always said I am not proud too admit when I
am uneducated in an area if it means learning something I need
to know. So as embarrassing as it is Ill open to robe.
All APs are Cambium FSK and we are now deploying the PMP450 as
well. Backhauls are a mix of companies but we are looking to
try and standardize, Cambium, and Ligowave are the most used.
Ill just use one site because they are all evolved in a
similar way. But we have several different sites that are all
very similar.
The site I would like to do first is Tower one, 5 FSK APs
(PMP450 coming soon) This site has a shed no heat and my
equipment at the base is secured in a locking large steel box.
Think of a truck tool box. Backhauled to Tower 2 through
Ligowave and tower two has 5 FSK APs and one PMP450. This site
is really remote no roads and its all tied together in a
weatherproof box.
So no managed switches, Single IP and DHCP. Never went then
way of NAT.
We have no real monitoring for customers date use, we limit up
and down speeds at the SM. We don’t shape no caps you get the
idea. So existing equipment is useless for this process. Our
customers are quite happy with the services but I am blind. I
will most likely double my size in the next 6 months and I
can’t keep doing it this way.

Also, depending on your monitoring system, you should be able
to track CPE and AP bandwidth as is.

The availability of inexpensive Mikrotik routers made this
much less of an issue than it used to be. Even at micropops
that I bridge, I put a small Mikrotik like a 450G or a 2011
there as a managed switch. That way it can be converted to
routed, often without a truck roll.
One question is how you assign IP addresses to customers.
Static with NAT in CPE? DHCP? PPPoE? Do you NAT multiple
customers to one public IP? This may determine which approach
is easiest to migrate to. Router at each tower with block of
public IPs? VLANs to central site with big central router?

not to hijack you, but there are some who maintain a fully
bridged network and use VLAN instead of routing, this I am
curious about, it may be a cost effective solution for you as
well.
I started our migration 4ish years ago and had the budget cut
out from under me with only half the routers deployed, let me
tell you, a 50/50 network sucks a great deal to manage.
whatever you do, make sure you have all your routers on your
desk before you begin

Everyone seems to have lived through this evolution at

A bridged WISP is asking for trouble.
How many APs and how many sites? Are the switches at the
sites capable of supporting VLANs? That is where I would
start. Either that or replacing the switches with routers.
Personally, one router with VLANS to each AP via managed
switches would be my preference.

I am looking for help converting our network from bridged
to routed. This is something I don’t have a lot of
background in but I also don’t want to end the process
having a system I can’t fix so I will need someone that is
willing to both do the work and teach me at the same time.
Depending on how the process works in regards to time I am
hoping to spend an hour a week working over the phone and
through a remote desktop app.
My main reasons for working on this now are I need to see
bandwidth use per SM, per AP, and have better ways of
tracking both long term. We are just to blind right now
and starting to really grow again I need to get it under
control now before we get to large.
I am open to suggestions on routers but already had
purchased microtik and butches scripts which after trying
and failing to get it to work never implemented.
Contact me off list bran...@gogebicrange.net
<mailto:bran...@gogebicrange.net> if you can help.
Thanks,
