[AFMUG] SyncInjector Gigabit for CAP320 jumper settings?

2018-01-25 Thread Ty Featherling
Can anyone tell me the proper jumper settings to power cap320 aps from the
latest SyncInjector Gigabit? I'm replacing an old model that was designated
for Canopy430 and I don't want to blow up my radios or my SI.

[AFMUG] Mirotik help - dual backhauls and bridges

2016-12-30 Thread Ty Featherling
I have my network setup with a common bridge (bridgeWAN) setup on each
router in an area. The backhaul in goes into this bridge and any backhauls
to further sites do as well. OSPF sorts out the default path and the bridge
gets them there in one IP hop. I have a major site that I am added a second
backhaul link to the upstream direction today (Airfiber 5x multiplexer for
the win). I am trying to figure out how to bond these two backhauls from
bridgeWAN on router A to bridgeWAN on router B. Any way to share the load
across those links would be great. If I just plug them in spanning tree
shuts one down. The real kink in the works may be that they have different
capacities. What can I do?

Re: [AFMUG] ubnt malware

2016-05-17 Thread Ty Featherling
Current AC2 is beta 21. I just installed it myself after a failed upgrade
from my old beta 12 install. It will do mass firmware updates, password
changes, and a set number of other configuration changes. The only 2 things
I wish it did that it doesn't are firewall updates and viewing bridge
tables for devices. Great tool for everything else. I installed the local
beta of the new CRM thing and It seems like it barely does anything by
comparison. If you go the the forums and find the AC2 beta forum, the first
sticky post is the latest version.

Does anyone running a dual-stack network graph their IPv6 internet traffic?
I only have my home traffic to compare to right now but the IPv6 is a
trickle of the IPv4. Until the tipping point happens where enough of the
internet CONTENT has moved to IPv6, then there will not be anything driving
adoption in a real way.

One potential new customer mentioned they wanted internet so they could get
a "Jesus Box." Yes she confirmed we heard right. Said you buy the box for
$225 and get HBO, Showtime and all your TV for free. You just have to buy
the box. I laughed. Why do people think they can get a paid service for
free and it's legal? She was convinced. I asked her if she thought HBO knew

Yeah I liked the look on both of their faces then. And yes, Josh, better
than Bale. I love those first two movies tremendously but that Batman hasnt
held up well for me. Batfleck embodies the comic version very well.

[AFMUG] Smart solar idea

This kid came up with a smart way to increase solar energy capture in a
given area. Using mirrors and a tower arrangement he gains both direct and
reflected energies. Clever.

Re: [AFMUG] Ceragon IP20C

2016-03-24 Thread Ty Featherling
There should be a low side and a high side. One transmits at the higher
frequency and the other lower. I found out if you have the low one set to
transmit high it won't work. I can't remember on the ip20 but some ODUs can
be rotated to switch from high to low. That may be what you did when you
rotated that one side.

Yeah or a peep sight of some kind. Two rings you can line up and look
through. The airfibers have that hoist loop on top. Add another smaller one

Ditto. Same for sectors or dishes. Most of the time on Backhauls I can see
the other side enough to recognize it through binoculars. If not I use the
Google Earth method there too. When done I use my phone to take a photo
with the phone pressed against the top rear of the sector so that they are

Re: [AFMUG] KP 3.65/5 Ghz Sectors

2016-03-14 Thread Ty Featherling
I complained about the addition of the cable glands because of the way it
was implemented. The glands are part of the removable part of the box, not
the stationary part. As a result to remove that cover on the box you had to
loosen the cable glands, push enough slack through to allot you to swivel
out the cover, and then let the cover hang with the cables going through
it. Hated it. I talked to Shane about it and he said an engineer threw that
feature in at the last minute and they have since removed them from the
design. I said just redesign so that the cable glands are stationary at the
bottom of the box and let the lid close around them. We'll see.

I am using the dual-5Ghzsectors and have had great results with them. I am
swapping out 120 that are full with these dual 60s using the same mounts
and getting more capacity.

So you are looking for the language towards the complaintant, not the
alleged offender. Got it. Just making sure. I am more than willing to share

Our guys do all of these things save hooking up customer equipment. We draw
the line at connecting the internet to their router. They are paid hourly

We have a couple of really experienced guys with good attitudes. Max travel
time is like 40 minutes but we schedule smart and keep installs in the same
area or in a sane path. Again though, most of the time it is 3-4 each. When
needed they both step up and have been known to knock out 6 no problem.

Re: [AFMUG] Unlicensed for dummies

2016-02-26 Thread Ty Featherling
We have a copy of their lease and it only states, like ours, that they are
to follow the regulations set forth by the FCC. I like the router
comparison. I may use that one. The guy was being a tool and claiming that
since we showed up his customers are complaining and that we must
discontinue any use in not only the 5GHz band but 3.65 and 2.4 as well
since they operate in those too. Our response was hey we ran spectrum
analysis and stayed well away from existing channel usage but if there is a
real interference issue we would love to work with you to resolve it. That
got nowhere as he was adamant that they were there first so we should pound
sand. He has no case but we are trying to make this a clear-cut and easy to
understand as possible in case the city gets more involved.

Re: [AFMUG] IPv6 traffic to ff02::1:2

2016-02-19 Thread Ty Featherling
Cassidy deduced the MAC earlier in the thread. I found that thread in the
switch table to determine which AP it was. I confirmed it was found in the
bridge table of the AP on the WLAN0 interface. From there there isn't an
easy way to trace it to a single radio. I used to log into each radio and
check its bridge table for the MAC but now I run a script to dump all of
the bridge tables to all the radios and grep for the offending mac. Led me
right to the right IP address.

[AFMUG] IPv6 traffic to ff02::1:2

2016-02-17 Thread Ty Featherling
A few times now I have noticed all customers in a given broadcast domain
all seeing download traffic at about 1.5Mbps. My gut reaction is broadcast
traffic of some sort so I go to Torch on the Mikrotik router at that site.
What I saw that first time is the same thing I have seen every time since
and what is shown in the attached image. IPv6 traffic from some IPv6 host's
link-local address to ff01::1:2 with a rate that matches the traffic I am
seeing everywhere. I enable IPv6 on that router if it isn't already and
just add a firewall rule that drops all IPv6 traffic since I am not running
any on network at this time. But what is it?

 It looked to me like an IPv6 broadcast address of some type so I googled
it and found:

FF02::1:2 All DHCPv6 agents (servers and relays) within the link-local scope

This makes sense since I bet it is coming from a customer's router on that
segment. Is this device malfunctioning, plugged in backwards, or what? How
can I use the Mikrotik to narrow down where it it located? There isn't a
mac-table for IPv6 that I can find.

Anyone else seen this?

[AFMUG] Ceragon help

2016-01-21 Thread Ty Featherling
I'm installing my first Ceragon links, IP20 series to be exact. I have them
up and linked and I am stuck on this idea of Services and Service Points.
Services in this software seem analogous to software bridges. For example
there is a Management service that you are supposed to add service points
to for each interface you want to be able to manage the radios from. I was
able to add Eth1 to that service and then I was able to manage the radios
from the Eth1 on the POE.

Now that they are aligned I tried to traverse the link and was unable to. I
take it that I need another Service with service points on the radio
interfaces as well as the Eth1 on each end to make one big bridge but that
doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone know how this is to be done?
