Re: [WISPA] basic mikrotik question

2009-06-13 Thread Adam Greene
A while back we experimented with trunking VLANs over a Mikrotik backhaul, 
and *at the same time* putting the Mikrotiks themselves into a tagged 802.1q 
management VLAN. We had major problems with that.

But yeah, just bridging 802.1q VLANs over the Mikrotiks while keeping the 
radios themselves in an untagged management subnet, I expected that that 
should work.

Thanks, all, for the feedback!

Adam

 VLAN does not necessarily preclude routing.  VLANs are a layer 2
 method of segmenting the network.  You can route on top of a VLAN
 layer.

 I am not a fan of VLANs because a large part of the time I see them
 used, they add complexity to the network when it is not necessary to do
 so.  Used correctly, VLANs are a really easy way to provide segmentation
 and broadcast controls.

Hi Guys,

Asked about this because some people had been mentioning having good 
experience with Test-Um cat5 testers. LanRoamer bought Test-Um. If no 
takers, I'll go ask LanRoamer.

Have a great morning! (for those on my side of the international date line)

I just did this the other day. There are several possible scenarios that
you can do:

1. Straight passing of vlan tags (just simple layer2 bridge) where the
MT is not participating in any of the vlans.  This is very easy, as
you said.

2. Passthrough of tagged traffic and the MT participates in one or more
vlans (management vlan for example).  This, too, is fairly easy.  
* Build the bridge to include the ports that will passthrough
  traffic.  
* Build a bridge to host the management vlan.
* Create a vlan on the passthrough bridge and add this vlan
  interface to the vlan host bridge.  DO NOT add the
  management vlan as a port on the passthrough bridge
* managment IP address would be assigned to the vlan host
  bridge
3. VLAN termination with trunked port.  Simply add vlan interfaces on
the physical interface.  IP addresses for each vlan would be assigned to
the vlan interfaces themselves.  The physical interface would then be
equivalent to a Cisco trunk port.  Each vlan is a routing interface
in this scenario.

4. VLAN participation where multiple ports participate in the vlan.
This is a bit more complex type of configuration and describing steps to
create this would be too difficult to do here in a generic fasion.

You can, of course, have combinations of all the above.  The trick
with Mikrotik is a matter of creative use of bridges and vlans and
understanding traffic flow at layer 2.

[WISPA] Radio Seperation

2009-06-13 Thread mike
We've just installed a 3 sector 2.4 setup, at 145' with maxrad 120's. I'm 
noticing the receive sensitivity on the AP's are about 15-20 db's different 
then what I see on the CPE's, tried a Tranzeo/Ubiquity radio. I'm using 
Ubiquity AP's, and they work fine on another 3 sector setup I have, however 
this tower is an A-Frame. The tower owner won't allow outside climbers so his 
guy did it, and he put one on each leg at 145' back to back. If the radios were 
too close together even on different channels, would the RX performance on the 
AP exhibit this behavior? Only other change on this tower was RFLinx 
Quarter-wave arrestors in line.

If I'm 3-5 miles away I can see on the CPE a RSSI of -65 to -75 for example, on 
the AP the reading would be in the -90 to not even below the noise floor. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated as always.

If you require bgp because you have clients that you want to peer with then

Re: [WISPA] Radio Seperation

2009-06-13 Thread Michael Baird
Well I'm using BulletHP's, but I have them on other towers, and they 
work fine. I have the Ubiquity 3.4 firmware on them, it's not the 
radio's,  not the antenna's, it's definitely something with this tower 
configuration. The only thing we did differently is use RFlinx Lightning 
arrestors inline, but I don't see how they would affect only receive and 
not transmit, it has to be the configuration of the antenna's on the 
tower. As has been suggested I think it has to do with them being to 
close together, they are too hot, and even though the channels are 
non-overlapping on the 3 AP's, the attenuated portion is still too 
strong and messing up the RSL's badly on the AP's.

 Yes that will work. I am not sure if the link layer fault detect will
 work correctly so you might need to run Spanning Tree also. Something
 that can be a issue is if say you have 4 links and one is running 24mbit
 modulation and the rest are 54, your going to have issues with the slow
 link. If possible I would use a radio board that can take all your
 radios and bond them, presenting you with a single ethernet with the
 bonded capacity.

For what it's worth, I talked to a buddy today who does quite a bit of 
switching stuff (especially with iSCSI related stuff), and he 
recommended against running spanning tree.

He had some questions on the types of radios that I'd be sending these 
LACP 802.3ad packets through (to make sure that they passed them through 
to the switch on the other side), but he said that if all of that was 
kosher, then he'd just stick with LACP features and avoid adding STP to 
complicate things.

He also recommended using the *dynamic* LACP features, rather than 
static features, as the static features were really designed for legacy 
devices and did primitive load balancing like round robin (which could 
cause problems in the lower modulation scenario that you gave).

Thanks for your feedback. If people are interested, I'll post the 
solution that I find works best for me.

Dynamic route redistribution if your network is sufficiently complex and you
