[AFMUG] Weird IP issue
We have one of the new Mikrotik CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ routers running RouterOS 7.2.1 with a Mikrotik switch (running 6.44.3) hanging off of it. I have two servers on that switch both in the the same public IP block. I can ping both servers from the router, and they can ping each other. One server is globally reachable and the other is not reachable other than from the router or switch itself. I plugged in my laptop and assigned it an IP in that same range and cannot reach it extrenally either. The router is using OSPF and I can see the route for that IP block from both sides of the router, but traceroutes/pings to anything other than the server that is working stop at the router. No vlans or special configuration between the router and the switch, just basic IP, all ports on the switch are bridged. Forwarded ports (dstnat) don't appear to work from the router either. I'm stumped, so I figured I would ask if anyone else has seen anything like this and have a solution, or am I looking at a possible RouterOS 7 issue? -- Christopher Tyler Senior Network Engineer MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Solutions 1091 W.

Re: [AFMUG] Weird IP issue
That is the export of the entire firewall on that router, there are no forward, nat or mangle rules, therefore there shouldn't be anything keeping the data from getting to/from anything, let alone blocking all but one IP address in the IP range. It's a /29 block, ip is x.x.x.x/29 on the router interface to the switch, /29 in OSPF network as well. This is why I'm completely stumped, everything looks fine. We're going to roll that router back tonight to 7.1.5 the "long term" version to see if that does anything. -- Christopher Tyler Senior Network Engineer MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Solutions 1091 W.

Re: [AFMUG] -48vdc site
We opted for 24v out as well and went with Meanwell RSD-200C-24. Input voltage range is 33.6v to 62.4v, it's isolated as well, and has reverse polarity protection. So if the wires are backward it just doesn't output anything instead of letting out the magic smoke, which is nice.

[AFMUG] Issue with Google
So the other day we got an email (excerpt below) from Google's automated tool... We are seeing automated scraping of Google Web Search from a large number of your IPs. Automated scraping violates our /robots.txt file and also our Terms of Service. We request that you terminate this traffic immediately. Failure to do so may cause your network to be blocked by our abuse systems. To allow you to identify the traffic, we are providing a list of your IPs they used today (Source field), as well as the most common destination (Google) IP and port and a timestamp of a recent request (in UTC) to aid in your identification. Note that this list may not be exhaustive, and we request that you terminate all such traffic, not just traffic from IPs in this list. All of the destination ports (to Google) are either 80 or 443, so they at least appear to be legit web traffic on the surface. They are obviously spoofed IP address as there are network addresses in the list and the IP belongs to a router that doesn't appear to be compromised in any way. The initial letter included 700+ IP addresses from our network. It's now affecting our customers as they are now getting Captcha's for every couple of Google searches that they perform. Does anyone know of a good way to track the perpetrator(s) down and/or know of a way to mitigate this? -- Christopher Tyler Senior Network Engineer MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Solutions 1091 W.

Re: [AFMUG] Issue with Google
Yes, NAT is in play here, I just now increased the NAT pool to 128 addresses based on TJ's theory that the NAT pool might be too small. The source IP's seem to be spoofed or proxied somehow as the first IP address in the list from Google is our ARIN /20 Network address (x.x.0.0) and I find it hard to believe that our gateway router is scraping Google for content. -- Christopher Tyler Senior Network Engineer MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Solutions 1091 W.

Its a connection tracking issue.. however I need connection tracking on one particular router. I've adjusted everything I could. Firmware and board firmware all up to date etc. Happens randomly with low levels of traffic, high levels of traffic, sometimes a couple times a day, sometimes weeks. No DDOS evidence at all from upstream routers. Configs checked and rechecked by third party experts. I graph everything about the Mikrotik and there are no clues or anything abnormal happening before the crash. Plenty of memory, disk space, CPU etc. Replaces all the trannies, power cables and such. Not running BGP only OSPF on the one that is giving me the most trouble. Even have a serial console cable plugged into them to my opengear and set it to log pretty much everything to console including the kernel and nothing. A hard freeze. Then there is Mikrotik support... I've never needed their support before until now. So I put a ticket in and the shitty attitude I'm getting from them seems like they KNOW there is something wrong with the hardware and they are intentionally not being helpful. It is pretty clear to see with all the people reporting this issue that there IS an issue. If this is any indication of how things are going to go with Mikrotik on the newer hardware going forware I think its time to jump to an enterprise level system. Juniper most likely. Shame because they are just about keeping up with the demands with their hardware. Getting closer to 100Gbps etc

Well that was fun. 8 hours of power cycling AP's. Just rebooting the AP's didn't fix it. Thankfully not every 450 radio seems to have freaked out. Weird that it really only affected some of our 900 Mhz 450i radios. But to top it all off we still have some sites that are on stand-alone syncpipes with no way to reboot them.

Re: [AFMUG] PMP450i GPS/Sync issue
As for UPS's, we've been using "upgraded" APC UPS's and they tend to die, get bypassed, and never replaced. lol We have some parasitics, some basics, syncboxes, some syncinjectors, some UGPS. A little sprinkle of anything and everything across the network. Consistency is something that we consistently do not have. That would make things too easy. lol. We got to most of them remotely, but some stragglers just didn't seem to want to work and required truck rolls.

Re: [AFMUG] Used Juniper
If you don't get it from a Juniper Authorized reseller or it hasn't been re-certified by Juniper and you ever want to update the software or need support from Juniper, they will make you get it re-certified by Juniper which costs about as much as just purchasing a new unit to start with.

Positive is always positive. Neg is always neg. 48 volts is 48 volts. If someone wants to say a load or source is -48 or +48 it just means the opposite polarity is tied to earth or chassis ground. If they say a load needs -48, it could mean that the load has the positive power wire also connected to the case. If a source says it is a -48 source, it could mean that the source has the positive lead connected to ground. You can always test a source. Ground to the wire. If you measure 48 volts between ground and one of the power wires, then it is referenced to ground. If you are on the positive wire to ground and you see 48 volts, then it is a neg ground system. If you are on the neg wire to ground and you see 48 volts then you are on a positive ground system. Positive Ground System == -48 or whatever volt system Neg Ground System == +48 or whatever BUT many sources and loads are floating where neither power lead is connected to chassis/earth/ground Sometimes they will call those 48 VDC system.

I am also using the non-wifi version at my house. Very happy with it. It's a workhorse. Another thing I would try is swapping the power supply, if you have a spare one available.
