So we now have WISPs with both StarOS and Mtik AP's that are having issues with 
the Router mode of CPQ/SL2.  Wonder what Tranzeo would say about this?

Re: [WISPA] Latest Tranzeo Firmware = Broken NAT ???

2009-06-10 Thread Steve Barnes
I have looked into what you are all having issue with.  I use a combo of StarOS 
and Mikrotik.  I have one tower that has 49 Connections currently.  The AP is a 
RB411a with a XR2 on V3.17.  ALL and I mean ALL clients are Tranzeo CPQ/SL2 
with 3.6.7 or 3.5.2 all in router mode only.  I have not had any of the issues 
that this thread started out talking about. If someone is really in need and 
wants to contact me off-list I would be willing to give them Read-Only access 
to the AP to look at it.  Also if you need various firmware versions for 
Mikrotik, I have a link to a certain WISPA board members web site that has ALL 
the versions archived.

Re: [WISPA] Need BGP Support ASAP

2009-06-10 Thread Tom DeReggi
Gino,

You may need to look at the routes that are advertised via a looking glass 
to discover the reason. For example use the looking glass of your provider, 
and that of the other upstreams of the customer.
As well, look at the customer's BGP tables.

First define, are the configured advertisement actually advertizing from the 
customer. Configuration errors can sometimes prevent that. For example...
A) if a rule was manually added to a text file of Quagga out of 
place.
B) Routemap and filter relationships are not right.

Second, Confirm all upstreams will accept all the route advertizements. 
Many reasons they might not
A) Advertising a smaller subblock within a larger allocated registered 
block.  Some providers do not allow it. Upstreams would need to add le 24 
if adverrising a /24 on a /22.
B) Reached max limit of allowable routes to advertise. Upstream must 
increase limit.
C) Upstream may be filtering the IPs advertising, if they were not made 
aware of it.
D) RIR records have not been updated to reflect your route policy, some 
upstreams filter on RIR records.
E) Upstream does not accept small blocks below a certain size

Third, Confirm routes aren' being overided at upstream
A) A static route exists on the upstream to override.
B) Some upstream BGP netwrok designs have routers that do not have 
enough memory for Full tables, and therefore all advertised routes may not 
exist on all routers, causing path issues. Smallest blocks will usually drop 
out first.
C) Both Customer Upstream have a next hop Common upstream, and have 
rules for passing traffic between them that overide your advertised route.

 I can give an example of a common issue... Lets say we have a 
registered /22, and want to advertise a /24 at peerA and a /24 at peerB. We 
might Advertise a /22 at both, in case the route is not accepted by one of 
the upstream's upstreams because it is small block, as a safety measure. We 
might AS prepend PeerB over A to make one more priority for the /22 block. 
So both the /24 and /22 will advertise to a peer. Now lets say the /24 
advertisement gets dropped because a router has no memory for it, or what 
ever reason, the /22 may still exist, causing a different routing behavior 
than configured for the /24.  .

Fourth, Make sure that your network being the return path, is not blocking 
the IPs from returning because of your own internal OSPF / IBGP rules.

I guess my point is Without having any detail, or narrowing it down, the 
number of possibilties are endless to why it is not working.

If you can verify what advertised routes propogated to what upstreams, you 
can then determine what factors might have led to that result.

Lastly, I'll mention AS Prepend is often a default first choice for 
prioritizing the inbound route. But that method is not all or nothing for an 
advertisement. We found that for our customers, if they wanted a block to 
return on our circuit, they wanted all traffic on that block to return on 
out network. They wanted it 100%. One way to do that is to combine route 
maps with shortest block advertisements. For example, You onl;y advertise 
the /24 A on PeerA and /24 B on PeerB, so there is onl;y one configured 
choice for each /24. Then advertise the /22 for only one peers, or Prepend 
the /22 to propritize it.  That mentality may not scale across having a 
large number of peers and upstreams, but for an end user customer with 2-3 
Transits, it works well.  We found that trobuleshooting customers was to 
hard UNLESS we knew and the customer knew what traffic was going across our 
network. With AS PRepending, maybe some of hte traffic might cross the other 
path in some situations.  Everytime a customer has a slow access to a 
destination site, we havce to check BGP routes or firewalls snifffing before 
troubleshooting to know if its our problem or not.

 Exactly,

 The problem is not for own ip space, its for a downstream customer ips
 space,  they have several providers and want to favor our link for some
 ip ranges.  They are prepending such ranges to the other providers to

Bob,

Yes, there are Dual Pol smaller than 2 ft.
You can get them from Titan Wireless in TX.
For $150 they sell a Dul Pol panel (I think 23dbi?) that can be used for 
Full Duplex or Two channels.

And then of course there is Trango Broadband's Dual Pol 24dbi pannel for 
about $300.

Re: [WISPA] Latest Tranzeo Firmware = Broken NAT ???

2009-06-10 Thread Steve Barnes
Yes I have at least 75 clients with Tranzeo's (Router) connecting to StarOS.  
However, the StarOS AP's that I have are OLD WRAP boards with StarOS version 
2.11.0.  I had nothing but problems with the WAR boards as AP's due to the 
crappy HOTSPOT Valemont went to on v3 and lots of problems with VPN clients. 
begin rant that and Lonnie told me that I was clueless and to go out of 
business so that someone else that had a clue could take my customers G 
end Rant

We are going to Mikrotik for all AP's due to the above rant.  We still use lots 
of StarOS for Backhauls.

While I am not certain that it is a Tranzeo issue, I do know that it is 
something we are able to cause 100% of the time only on Tranzeo units.  
It is possible that it is something in our configuration but so far we 
not found anything. 

Steve Barnes - Do you have any setups where you are have staros for the 
AP and a Tranzeo unit in router mode at the client?

Kurt - we have no evidence that it is related to P2P being installed on 
the client machine.  We see the problem on any type of download 
regardless of how it is done.

 Subject: [WISPA] Indoor fdx link antennas


 I would like to use MikroTik to create a fdx link that's going across a
 stadium (that's a bit more then 100 yards).  I'm thinking about looking 
 for
 some small dual pol antennas best case or the ARC ones worst case (as
 they're monstrous).

 I'll probably end up using the Compex wlm54ag at 5ghz cards and a 433ah.

 There will be voice and video traffic across this link, which is why I'd
 prefer to do fdx.

 Can anyone suggest a better alternative?  Anyone know of some good 
 antennas
 for this?

 While I am not certain that it is a Tranzeo issue, I do know that it is
 something we are able to cause 100% of the time only on Tranzeo units.
 It is possible that it is something in our configuration but so far we
 not found anything.

 Steve Barnes - Do you have any setups where you are have staros for the
 AP and a Tranzeo unit in router mode at the client?

 Kurt - we have no evidence that it is related to P2P being installed on
 the client machine.  We see the problem on any type of download
 regardless of how it is done.

 of the Tranzeo CPQ.



 All units have 4.0.2 and we do not believe the problem is with an

 upgrade in the firmware because we can replicate the problem in

 version 3.6.7 as well.



 I just moved one client today that was in router mode back to bridge

 mode because they couldn't do their UPS shipping until we did.

 Apparently, we may need to move all of them to bridge mode but with

 hundreds of units out there I really don't like that idea.

Re: [WISPA] Latest Tranzeo Firmware = Broken NAT ???

2009-06-10 Thread Steve Smith




I don't think it is an issue with the Mikrotik. The reason for saying
that is that we do not see a problem with any type of system other than
the Tranzeo. We still have a few Orinoco based units in the field and
they can double NAT without problem. We can also but the CPQ in bridge
mode and use the client based wireless router doing double NAT and
there are no problems. So far we have tried four different systems at
the client locations, Tranzeo, Orinoco, Linksys, Belkin. Only the
Tranzeo fails. 

We have showed Tranzeo all of the configuration settings and have set a
unit up so they can log into it an look around. They have declined to
log in but have reviewed the configuration and say we have everything
correct. Since some of you with very similar setups are not seeing a
problem then I am guessing we have something wrong. But we are failing
to find what we are missing.

While I am not certain that it is a Tranzeo issue, I do know that it is
something we are able to cause 100% of the time only on Tranzeo units.
It is possible that it is something in our configuration but so far we
not found anything.

Steve Barnes - Do you have any setups where you are have staros for the
AP and a Tranzeo unit in router mode at the client?

Kurt - we have no evidence that it is related to P2P being installed on
the client machine. We see the problem on any type of download
regardless of how it is done.

ALL and I mean ALL clients are Tranzeo CPQ/SL2 with 3.6.7 or 3.5.2 all in router mode only. I have not had any of the issues that this thread started out talking about. If someone is really in need and wants to contact me off-list I would be willing to give them Read-Only access to the AP to look at it. Also if you need various firmware versions for Mikrotik, I have a link to a certain WISPA board members web site that has ALL the versions archived.

Storm #2 rolling in today

We've already had three tornado warnings and at least one on the ground 
within three miles of my house.  Amazingly enough - nothing is down 
other than one site that had a brief power outage.  New 9 mile 19ghz 
link on 2' dishes faded from -48 to -70 for a while and then came back 
within a few minutes.  Seems like we have had rain and lightning almost 
every night for the last two weeks.   I can't help but feel that we are 
very fortunate that we have only had to replace a couple of radio units 
since it all started.

This is the most rain we have gotten here in probably ten years or so.

[WISPA] Crazy Weather

2009-06-10 Thread Rick Harnish
This isn't weather related, but we had an interesting tech call the other
day.  

 

The customer said he had Dark Internet, the technician, curious to why he
called it Dark Internet asked what he meant.  He said he only has Internet
when it is dark out.  Well, this call was made during the day and obviously
his Internet was not working at the time.  The technician could not see the
client radio from the AP so he had him check the power supply and POE.  The
customer said it was plugged into the wall but there was no light on the
POE.  While troubleshooting, the customer said I can't see what I am doing,
I need to turn on the lights.  Miraculously, when he turned on the light
switch, the POE light came on and his Internet service started working
again.

 

Imagine that!

This has been the wettest spring in memory here west of Chicago.  Some of
the farmers still have not been able to work their fields because they are
too wet.  That makes them over a month late to plant, it's getting to where
it will be too late to plant anything in those fields.  Not the usual crops
of field or soybeans.  They are starting to talk sweet corn or limas.  I
guess they could always plant hay.  Our biggest business customer is a
fertilizer dealer and they don't know day to day what things will be like,
if it rains the farmers don't spread fertilizer, if it is dry for a couple
days then they can't handle all the orders.  They do all the custom
fertilizer mixing via VPN to a central application server.  I was just out
to a location where their PIX501 stopped talking to the Canopy SM, I finally
had to put a switch inbetween.  Not a negotiation problem, just plain
strange.

 

Unfortunately lightning and tornados are not limited to spring.  The last
few years we have been hit in June/July, even a really bad lightning storm
at Christmas time.  We have had tornados and microbursts that have picked up
silos and dropped them on the opposite side of a barn.

 

The storm a couple days ago I had one customer router blow, and one old
Tranzeo radio.

 

I also had a customer call today because they went to Florida for the month
of March, they have been back since the beginning of April, and their
Internet has not worked since then.  I actually left a phone message for
them in April, they are an older couple anb honestly I was worried they had
died or something.  Oddly, another Tranzeo customer.  All they had to do was
power cycle the radio.  But waiting 2.5 months before calling?

Which brings up another good story.

 

An 85 year old lady called in one day and said at 4:50 every day her
computer started playing the Battle Hymn of the Republic.  She said her
children and grandkids had all tried to figure out why this happened and she
was totally frustrated.  Since she only lived a few miles away, the
technician offered to go to her house  at 4:45 pm and see what he could
figure out when the song started playing.  At 4:50 the Battle Hymn started
playing.  The technician reached into a basket full of odds and ends and
pulled out an old alarm clock that was covered by other junk.  How do you
bill a sweet little old lady for that?  You don't but it makes a great
story.

 

Rick

 

PS.  Which brings up another story..  Another lady called in and said her
computer works fine until she sits down at it and then it goes dark.  When
she gets up from her chair or if she pounds real hard on the desk the
computer lights up again.  The technician decided to help out by visiting
the house.  Sure enough, shortly after she sat down, the monitor went dark.
She pounded on the desk and all the sudden the monitor came back on.  The
technician noticed that a cat ran out from underneath the desk when she
pounded on it.  He then told her to wait a few minutes and see what happens.
Sure enough the cat returned to its spot under the desk and the monitor went
black again.  The technician said pound on the desk again and look at the
floor.  When she did it, the cat ran out.  He said, there is your
problem.  She told him that the cat likes to lay on her feet when she sits
there and she likes it because it keeps her feet warm.  Sure enough the
monitor cable was laying on the floor in the same spot and the cat must have
put enough pressure on it to break the circuit.  Another problem solved but
you had to be there to figure it out!

LOL.  
I had several support calls today.  I tried to trouble shoot, but not the
usual problems.
My Dude Server started pinging away today and sending messages to my
Blackberry around noon.  Customers were going down left and right.  No
storms in the area, the AP was up and running, no obvious problems.  So we
jumped into the jeep and headed for the highrise that this AP was on which
several businesses connect to.  All the while customers connecting and
disconnecting.  
Upon approaching the end of our 57 mile drive we see the highrise looming in
the background with a 200'+ crane standing in front of our radio lifting an
AC off the roof.  I was relieved, but a bit upset with the property
management.  
Just goes to show you, every support call can be the unexpected.

occurrence in the state. Central Florida is known as the lightning capital
of the United States, as it experiences more lightning strikes than anywhere
else in the country.

Storm #2 rolling in today

We've already had three tornado warnings and at least one on the ground 
within three miles of my house.  Amazingly enough - nothing is down 
other than one site that had a brief power outage.  New 9 mile 19ghz 
link on 2' dishes faded from -48 to -70 for a while and then came back 
within a few minutes.  Seems like we have had rain and lightning almost 
every night for the last two weeks.   I can't help but feel that we are 
very fortunate that we have only had to replace a couple of radio units 
since it all started.

This is the most rain we have gotten here in probably ten years or so.  
Anyone else seeing weird weather so far this year?

Anyone know where I can get a copy of Management Software for this 
baby.  I have a new customer with an existing link that is giving them 
problems and they don't have it.  I am told it is the only way to config 
and look at the radio. Is this true?

Any help would be appreciated. Offlist if you prefer.

Been there, done that!

I hate those places that have half an outlet wired to a switch!

  This isn't weather related, but we had an interesting tech call the other
day.  

 

The customer said he had Dark Internet, the technician, curious to why he
called it Dark Internet asked what he meant.  He said he only has Internet
when it is dark out.  Well, this call was made during the day and obviously
his Internet was not working at the time.  The technician could not see the
client radio from the AP so he had him check the power supply and POE.  The
customer said it was plugged into the wall but there was no light on the
POE.  While troubleshooting, the customer said I can't see what I am doing,
I need to turn on the lights.  Miraculously, when he turned on the light
switch, the POE light came on and his Internet service started working
again.

 

Imagine that!

This has been the wettest spring in memory here west of Chicago.  Some of
the farmers still have not been able to work their fields because they are
too wet.  That makes them over a month late to plant, it's getting to where
it will be too late to plant anything in those fields.  Not the usual crops
of field or soybeans.  They are starting to talk sweet corn or limas.  I
guess they could always plant hay.  Our biggest business customer is a
fertilizer dealer and they don't know day to day what things will be like,
if it rains the farmers don't spread fertilizer, if it is dry for a couple
days then they can't handle all the orders.  They do all the custom
fertilizer mixing via VPN to a central application server.  I was just out
to a location where their PIX501 stopped talking to the Canopy SM, I finally
had to put a switch inbetween.  Not a negotiation problem, just plain
strange.

 

Unfortunately lightning and tornados are not limited to spring.  The last
few years we have been hit in June/July, even a really bad lightning storm
at Christmas time.  We have had tornados and microbursts that have picked up
silos and dropped them on the opposite side of a barn.

 

The storm a couple days ago I had one customer router blow, and one old
Tranzeo radio.

 

I also had a customer call today because they went to Florida for the month
of March, they have been back since the beginning of April, and their
Internet has not worked since then.  I actually left a phone message for
them in April, they are an older couple anb honestly I was worried they had
died or something.  Oddly, another Tranzeo customer.  All they had to do was
power cycle the radio.  But waiting 2.5 months before calling?

Ya I love sending three emails to get one response - SORRY =(

To my knowledge, it is the only option.  I know there is no HTTP (at least
HTML, don't know how the software communicates) or telnet/ssh interface.

Software is decent, but is not nearly good enough to excuse the need for a
Windows only executable that you can't download unless you jump through
hoops or keep a hold of from the CD with the purchase of a new unit.  Plus
it is a bit confusing IMO.

[WISPA] Grounding Dragonwave Horizon Compact

2009-06-10 Thread Mark Nash
We're installing a Dragonwave Horizon Compact system and I'm not quite sure 
how to ground it.

First off, this unit has dual copper ethernets (1 for PoE/Data, 1 for 
Management).  The unit is completely outside powered via PoE.

We know how to ground the radio above, and the cat5 below at the PoE / 
Lightning Arrestor.

What we don't know is what to do with the ethernet cable above.

We're using the Belden 7919A outdoor shielded cable, as recommended by the 
Dragonwave Quick Reference Guide.

Can someone tell me if the ethernet cables need to be grounded near the 
radio at the top of the tower?

This is on a water tower, btw, and we have a ground cable going from the 
ground rod directly to the radio (#6, about 150').  Other side is on a high 
school rooftop, grounded directly to a rod (#6, about 200').  Again, not 
sure what to do with the radio-side cat5 cable.

Any help would be appreciated, as we're to have this project completed by 
Friday and into testing phase.

Thanks...
