Re: [AFMUG] Wifi for large houses

2014-11-06 Thread RioSat SL via Af

Hi All

When we have a large house and using PMP100 in nat mode we tend to put 
in a switch and then just cable routers to the switch giving each router 
a different static IP on the WAN and then DHCP on the lan normally with 
a different SSID and different channel but I have seen other articles 
where the set up is as cascading routers - what would you all recommend, 
should we change the way we are doing it ?


Kind regards

Kay

In fact...the smart grid can help eliminate rolling

carefully managing the power delivered to customers on the end of

power
companies the ability to measure the voltage delivered to meet the 
minimum
requirements at the end of each feed... Substation transformers can 
then be

set to deliver lower voltage (= lower power usage) thus avoiding
brownouts...of course, load control (turning off your A/C) doesn't 
hurt

either.

Pre-smart grid, the main way the power company knew about lines 
going down
(storms, trees, etc) was when they got a phone call. These meters 
will tell
them where they have issues so they can route around much much much 
faster;
other parts of the smart grid can allow power to be rerouted from a 
control
panel rather than a power company truck and a guy with an insulated 
stick

throwing a switch in the rain.

It is a fascinating topic...

 From ComEd smartmeter FAQ:

Smart meters for residential customers will have remote

capabilities that can be used when a customer closes an account, 
then

reconnects when the customer starts a new account.

One of the benefits of this remote switching capability is that 
ComEd
can provide electrical service to customers more quickly, after 
the customer
has contacted ComEd to initiate service. ComEd can also expedite 
the
transfer of electrical service when a customer moves from one 
location to

another within the ComEd service territory.

I see a post on the Mike Holt electrician forum about whether 
calling
the electric company and having them remotely shut off the power 
makes it

safe to work on, as opposed to pulling the meter.  (hell no)

smartmeters occupy.

I submitted a design for this about 5 years ago for a cruise line that was 
working along the coast line.  A Bats system is necessary due to the range, 35 
miles off the cost.  The one I was working with was designed specifically for

   Mike, you mean naming it community.domain.com?  Or making it attractive
 to hang out?

 Why does it feel like Cambium=Microsoft and Ubiquiti=Apple?  And
 community.ubnt.com has kind of a white-on-white Apple look to it, while
 community.cambiumnetworks.com with the colored tiles has kind of a
 Microsoft look to it.

 I am reminded of Stephen Colbert’s quip the other day that in 2 years,
 Microsoft’s CEO will come out as gay.

 It just launched this week, so we’re just getting rolling, but we’re

 Just wanted to follow up to that link I posted.  Pretty cool new site
 Cambium has now, I’ve been looking around on it.  The ‘Idea’ section I
 think could benefit a lot of us on here because the more new product ideas
 and/or changes they get the more influenced they may be to develop those
 ideas.  Just thought I’d mention it since I read a lot of good concepts and
 ideas on this list but now we at least have a means to direct those ideas
 straight to a manufacturer.

[AFMUG] Internet for Old Folks

2014-11-06 Thread Nate Burke via Af
Looking for recommendations on a connection for 'Old Folks'  Who are 
extremely not technical (read parents).  The are in a semi-urban 
setting, but Comcast is their only wired internet option, no DSL, no 
Close WISPS's.  They're on the triple play now, but it's expensive for 
what they use.  They only watch the OTA Channels on their cable, and 
they turn the computer on maybe once per day to check email (and play 
solitaire).  They are not willing to give up a landline phone, as a 
cellphone has too many buttons (they got their flip phone stuck on 
speakerphone, and didn't know how to change it back)


I was hoping at maybe doing like a Verizon hotspot with their Home Voice 
Service via 4G, but that looks like it's almost $90/month. Any other 
cheaper solutions?  I would try to get them to go with an internet only 
comcast option and give them an ATA, but even those are $60+/mo after 
taxes.  And since they're already a customer, I'm not sure if they could 
navigate the Comcast scripts without getting sucked into another triple 
play deal.


From a few Animal Farms ago, there was the company that was selling 
white labeled Cellular connections.  Any WISPS here participate in that 
and can offer 'base station' type services?  Service is needed in 
Northwest Indiana.  I believe that all major carriers have good coverage 
at the location.

You can go prepaid hotspot for them. Straight talk has a 3G hotspot out
today but there's also some 4G LTE version at Walmart just coming out.  For
phone, get straight talk home phone which is about $17 after taxes.

Otherwise check the cell carriers for data only hotspot options. Sprint
does 3GB for $35 a month which I assume their usage would be very low.

Re: [AFMUG] Wifi for large houses

2014-11-06 Thread Bill Prince via Af
Absolutely put a router in there instead of the switch.  Especially if 
they have any Apple devices (iphones, airports, Mac computers).  They 
have a nasty habit of opening connections, and never closing them.  I 
have watched them fill the NAT table in less than a half hour.


So if you are using NAT, at least limit directly-connected devices to a 
single router on the DMZ.  This will bypass the NAT table entirely.


Alternatively, switch the SM to bridge mode and put in a Mikrotik to 
manage the internal network.  We do this on selected accounts, and 
maintain the Mikrotik from our NOC.

other articles where the set up is as cascading routers - what would 
you all recommend, should we change the way we are doing it ?

I'd probably go with an RB2011 for ~$100. If you can control the network on 
both ends (with a Mikrotik also at the upstream side), that makes your life 
easier.

Any ideas of how to bond a wireless connection to a DSL connection for more 
bandwidth and redundancy?

I have control over both ends of both circuits.  Same IP space etc.  Just don’t 
know if there is a low cost solution that could be applied to only the 
customer’s end.

Mikrotik.

You could do all sorts of fancy things.  OSPF if you just want to split 
the load.  Policy routing if you want to direct traffic based on the 
capabilities of the connection or whatever.

Then if budget allows it, just buy new ones.  Peplink is one the absolute best 
for this application.  The support multiple redundant links and best path 
analysis.  We have used them for 10 years with zero issues.  The biggest one I 
have is the 710 but the newer ones are even faster.  For corporate application, 
set and forget and you don’t need a network person to set them up, manage, or 
monitor them.   They are really simple.  If you want to log into one and see 
it, let me know.

I assume the DSL and wireless links are not the same size?  That would 
make it way too easy.


But if I want to do 100 of these, with a NOC and 100 subs, I don’t 
want to have discrete devices on both ends of each circuit.  Prefer to 
use link aggregation of some sort that would function kinda like a PMP 
radio protocol.  So one big something at the NOC that can know how to 
handle dual paths to a CPE.

Re: [AFMUG] Cacti POLL

Isn't there a way to merge multiple cacti instances from multiple hosts?

It has to do with the Hosts page which is a quick snapshot of all 
things green or red.
For ever we have always had a single cacti service running to handle 
both infrastructure and subs but it has gotten to large

to have all that on one site.
So, my idea was to have a drop down that would only show a group of 
defined units like servers, Back hauls, Aps, subs and so forth within

the host page or devices page whatever you want to call it.
 The graph tree for me on sorts the graphs not the hosts.

Especially when ur on your mobile and you just want to check to see 
whats up or down.
This could be personal setting that could be set by the user to 
default to just a single group when

they log in.

Sort of like a manage plugin that works?

We've arranged our graphs to be grouped by POP/AP/Subscriber, but
it's done more-or-less manually.  When a new subscriber is added,
we add them to the appropriate graph tree.  This way, someone not
in the know can see the organization of the infrastructure.

Not clear if this is significantly different by your description.

For those of you using cacti..
Out of necessity I am going to be working a plugin that will do
Host groups or views for the hosts
displayed.
 For example instead of all hosts in one view you can group them
by infrastructure or subscribers and set permissions on
who is allowed to view infrastructure and subs or just subs.
 There are some other plugins that let you add them to a tab and
view but I want a drop down like on the host page
to display only what I need.
 Of course you can place a tag in the name of each host and
search by this tag. I am just being lazy I guess I want a simple
drop down that will give me the groups I want.
Since we use nagios to watch majority of infrastructure for
alerting I want cacti to only show that infrastructure.

I am just taking poll to see how many use or could use something
like this.

Yeah that's a tough one.  The simple methods won't work right.  I hate 
sharing unequal paths because it takes a simple job and makes it a hard 
one.  I don't know what those Peplink things cost, but if Dennis can do 
it with Mikrotik and supply you a configuration script to run on the CPE 
then you could use those $100 RB2011's.



You are assuming correctly.

I assume the DSL and wireless links are not the same size?  That would 
make it way too easy.


But if I want to do 100 of these, with a NOC and 100 subs, I don’t 
want to have discrete devices on both ends of each circuit.  Prefer 
to use link aggregation of some sort that would function kinda like a 
PMP radio protocol.  So one big something at the NOC that can know 
how to handle dual paths to a CPE.

If you own all ends of the links, you should be able to do this with 
some RB750s.  Less than $50 a piece.  The stuff at your NOC end(s) 
probably would not need to change.  If the plastic case on the RB750 
turns you off, then the RB2011 would do the trick for about double the 
price.

I thought the CMM4 has an external GPS.
 I would either check voltage to GPS or replace pigtail
Moving doesnt hurt if the ant does not have a clear Northern view

Re: [AFMUG] Cacti POLL

2014-11-06 Thread David via Af
Yeah, We currently have one instance that only does Infrastructure and 
the other doing everything else.

I want to eliminate one and have just the one portal.
 This has been discussed before in the forums and there were some 
plugins that sorted some host in another tab but thats not what

I want to see.
 I want to log in and just see all infrastructure hosts or subs by 
simply having a drop down to filter by group.

For ever we have always had a single cacti service running to handle 
both infrastructure and subs but it has gotten to large

to have all that on one site.
So, my idea was to have a drop down that would only show a group of 
defined units like servers, Back hauls, Aps, subs and so forth within

the host page or devices page whatever you want to call it.
 The graph tree for me on sorts the graphs not the hosts.

Especially when ur on your mobile and you just want to check to see 
whats up or down.
This could be personal setting that could be set by the user to 
default to just a single group when

they log in.

We've arranged our graphs to be grouped by POP/AP/Subscriber,

added, we add them to the appropriate graph tree.  This way,
someone not in the know can see the organization of the
infrastructure.

Not clear if this is significantly different by your description.

For those of you using cacti..
Out of necessity I am going to be working a plugin that will do
Host groups or views for the hosts
displayed.
 For example instead of all hosts in one view you can group
them by infrastructure or subscribers and set permissions on
who is allowed to view infrastructure and subs or just subs.
 There are some other plugins that let you add them to a tab
and view but I want a drop down like on the host page
to display only what I need.
 Of course you can place a tag in the name of each host and
search by this tag. I am just being lazy I guess I want a simple
drop down that will give me the groups I want.
Since we use nagios to watch majority of infrastructure for
alerting I want cacti to only show that infrastructure.

I am just taking poll to see how many use or could use
something like this.

Re: [AFMUG] Fiber up the tower questions.

If I had to do fiber + DC, I would want each radio on its own pair of 
fiber and power conductors coming all the way down. So far it's been 
easier, cheaper and faster to run cat5. Just my opinion.


It would be nice to find 4 strand single or multi-mode + 4 #14 stranded 
conductors in a single jacket. I would go for 2 + 2, but lots of stuff 
is coming with separate management and data port SFP interfaces now. 
Plus it never hurts to have an extra pair of wires at the radio for 
maybe a 2+0/1+1 setup. And in that case, the 4 strands could be BiDi.

Do you run a separate fiber pair up the tower for each radio?  Or do 
you mount an ethernet switch up top?  How do you do injection, eth 
switching, etc...


I'm continually being asked to do a product to help with these fiber

As far as the power, I guess I'd just put the PacketFlux devices up at the top

 It's time for me to acquire a range of SFP's here for development and
 testing. Instead of me randomly going out and acquiring some, I figured a
 smarter move was to ask here what everyone's favorite SFP vendors/model
 numbers were and go and get a couple of the most commonly used ones.

 So, what SFP's do each of you use in your network?

Re: [AFMUG] AF5/24 errors

2014-11-06 Thread George Skorup (Cyber Broadcasting) via Af
I have not. These are PTPs between routed interfaces. Traffic goes over 
the link without a problem. Routed management traffic (in-band only) to 
the radios doesn't generate any errors. It's only radio to radio packets 
that seems to trigger it. I can run a ping, telnet or ssh session 
between the radios and I get Rx FCS and Code errors on both ends. I also 
have flow control disabled on everything.


So, you obviously know more about these things than I do but... I've 
mentioned this before, if I'm managing a radio directly connected to a 
router port (which holds the IP gateway), that traffic hits the other 
side, which tells me these things don't have a MAC table/FDB and/or are 
not store-and-forward switching. Could it be just a MikroTik thing, 
sure, I don't know, I don't have any other gear to test with. But this 
doesn't happen with the same MikroTik's and any other radios. Ubiquiti 
M's, Cambium, Trango licensed, etc. Just sayin'.
