service for homes where a home user can monitor and potentially
block certain websites, but that would require the home to signup
at open dns, and then enter open DNS in their router. However if
we handed out OpenDNS's IPs instead of googles, and provided a
gateway, then that would remove that step of the client having to
enter opendns IPs into their router right?

Does OpenDNS have a service for ISP's? That gives us insight as to
where traffic on our network is heading based dns lookups? I know
about Netflow etc, but doing this though DNS seems like a cool
option as well. We wouldn't want to block anything as an ISP, but
it would be useful to know the top visited site by our customers
is facebook.co m  for example.

If not OpenDNS, then is there some other hosted DNS service for
ISP's?

I am in need of a recommendation for a small Ethernet switch for an 
MDU applications. This is a garden style community where each building 
has between 4 to 8 units inside of the building. There are 15 
 buildings on the property. We would run a new CAT6 drop from a 
central point in the building to each unit. This central point would 
either be in the attic, or on the side of the exterior wall in some 
type of enclosure.


 Then we would run fiber uplink from each building's switch to a 
headend room. The headend room would have the aggergation fiber 
switch, a router, and an uplink to the internet.


We would hand a copper Ethernet hand off to the client in a unit, and 
then the could use whatever router they wanted, or plug their computer 
in directly to the wall.


I think all I need is a switch per building (not a router), and 
ideally this switch needs to have:


- At Least 1 SFP fiber uplink port. 2 would be nice for daisy 
chaining, but not required.
- 4 to 8 Copper Gigabit Ports. I don't need POE output power on these 
ports.

- SNMP For remote monitoring
- CLI or some sort of web based remote management
- Temperature Hardened or able to be in a hot attic
- Some sort of L2 port isolation or private vlans where other 
subscribers can see each other. All traffic goes in and out of uplink

- Rate limiting for each individual port
- Full duplex speed and wireline switching is preferred.
- We be nice to be remotely powered using PoE in, but not required. 
Might be hard however to get power to the attic or side of building.



So far, options that come to mind are:

https://routerboard.com/RB260GS for $36. Looks like a good option, but 
not sure about SwitchOS. Worried Mikrotik won't continue to improve 
switchOS. Feature set seems limited. Not sure about port isolation 
options? Says it support Poe-In for power. Temp range looks good. No CLI.


https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x-sfp/ $72. Double the price 
of the Mikrotik. OS seems more robust. Seem more like a router than 
switch so might be overkill for application. NO Poe-IN power option, 
but could I used a passive poe injector to still power it remotely?


https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgepoint/ The EP-R6 is about $105. Looks 
like its basically the edgerouter-x-sfp but in an outdoor case, and 
this model supports PoE Input. This smaller unit doesn't seem to have 
any fiber slack management like the other units in the edgepoint 
lineup. Includes POE injector to power unit.


I was thinking maybe a GPON ONT per building that has 4 to 8 Ethernet 
ports on it. However, there are no small GPON OLTs out there. Plus, 
most outdoor ONT's are like $250+ each.



What else is out there? I would say price range would be sub $200 per 
building max.

Re: [WISPA] Looking for startup suggestions

2017-02-02 Thread Mike Francis 
One thing I see a lot are people who focus so much on being a WISP that 
they forget it is also a real business. I have no idea about your 
business experience, but having a good foundation and some systems in 
place to start with will go a long way. There are a lot of WISPS/ISPs 
who are perfectly happy being a one man or two man operation, but then 
there are others who can not seem to figure out why they can't ever get 
over that hump. The secret is to understand business. Here is a great 
book written by a technology guy for technology businesses. I've given 
it to all my employees, shareholders and several clients.


https://books.google.com/books/about/Organizational_Physics_The_Science_of_Gr.html?id=trfNBAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false

Next is understanding the business and it's potential. Setting some 
goals to build a plan on will go a long way. What clients do you want to 
service and what do you want to provide to them? Those two questions 
will define a lot about what your staff, network, capabilities and cash 
requirements will look like. There is no better place to talk, discuss 
and begin to understand all of this than a WISPA event. I wish someone 
had introduced me to WISPA much earlier in this business. Any money you 
spend on WISPA events will gain you 100x in knowledge and contacts in 
the industry.

If I had to give you one more piece of advice it would be to start 
taking local bankers to lunch now. You may not need or want them today, 
but eventually you will need them!

It is not Cisco or Sonicwall! The list is long. For us we have always 
been a Cisco & Mikrotik shop, but felt we were messing a piece of the 
security and firewall business. Mikoritk has a great firewall, but it is 
not active o what you would consider an Enterprise firewall. Cisco has a 
great firewall, but it is expensive and complex.


We got involved with Fortinet through a client who needed support for 
several hundred units. Once we started dealing with Fortinet we quickly 
realized how powerful what they have built really is. The Unified Threat 
Management is very advanced and very scalable. There are several pieces 
that make it a  true Enterprise solution like the Forti-manger, the 
Forti-analyzer etc. On top of that the Next Gen, IPS, VPN forwarding and 
processing is very impressive, and so are the management, the Virtual 
Domain, the HA config, the Clustering technology and so on. We also do a 
lot of virtual routing and their Fortigate-VM is very nice too. There is 
a reason these guys are growing so fast and are on the top of every 
security vendor list out there.


Another thing is that they really vet their partners. One thing that I 
have noticed in the security industry is that if a IT guys says he/she 
is using a sonicwall, that is a potential red flag. +80% of the time 
they have no idea what they are doing. When someone says they are a 
Fortinet Partner, they have been through the proper training, been 
vetted and it is much more likely you are talking to someone who knows 
what they are doing.

Re: [WISPA] [Mikrotik Users] Hmm.. Mikrotik or Cisco...

2017-06-30 Thread Mike Francis 
I am a bog Mikrotik fan, but rely on cisco for our Core and Edge. Our 
latest BGP config for Edge services are a Cisco ASR for Primary, then we 
are running a CHR on top of our Vmware platform for secondary BGP. we 
have several CHRs passing several gigs of traffic and they are very 
solid. We have this deployed in 4 datacenters like this and it is 
working very well, keeps cost down, and is very flexible.

Good morning.

I have a deep question for the Mikrotik people and the Cisco people.

Let me give you an overview of where we are.
Currently we have all of our tower sites using Mikrotik connecting to 
our core with MPLS/VPLS to our core that is multiple Mikrotik routers 
using VRRP (I had a core die from power supply failure and our network 
didn't skip a beet while it was replaced.) The VRRP core then connects 
to our edge that is a Cisco ASR1001-x that connects to our BGP peers.


The reason we went with Cisco was because all the CCR Mikrotik Lagged 
horribly when doing BGP full tables. We had a Maxxwave router that did 
fine with the BGP but had crap interface support with Mikrotik not 
having good drivers for the interfaces. Different MTU for the MPLS 
caused problems.


It appears that now with Mikrotik's CHR fixes the driver problems. the 
Virtual host deals with the drivers so Mikrotik doesn't have to.


All has been fine for a few years... but now the Cisco has reset 
itself twice in the past week. For whatever reason a reboot on a Cisco 
= 15-20min down time. We are now needing a VRRP solution for the Edge.


So here is the cross roads... Do we get another ASR1001-x and struggle 
for a while to get a form of VRRP to work between them? Or do we get 
something like this 
(https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-SuperServer-5018D-FN8T-Rackmount-10GbE/dp/B01LXUATHB 
)

and keep it all Mikrotik for ease of training and use?

We do not have much experience with Cisco. It takes us quite a bit to 
configure and change them. is it worth learning and paying the 12x the 
price for less throughput?

Cisco ASR 1001 2.5gbps throughput = $6,680
Cisco Licence for 10gbps throughput = $13,099
Total for 1 Cisco router + Repair of current + 1 Spare = $41,558

vs Mikrotik
Supermicro SuperServer 5018D-FN8T + 16G mem + SSD = $986
CHR 10Gbps upload per interface = $95
Total for 2 routers + 1 spare = $3,243

Is Cisco still the better option? would it be better to say use 3 MK 
routers in VRRP with one spare so 2 can fail and not be a problem?

Ralph,

We do projects like this all over. If not one locally steps yup we would 
be interested in bidding on it.


By the way, If I reply directly to ralphli...@bsrg.org it gets kicked

180 campsites and 29 cabins. Although we did the project for Full 
Throttle Saloon (before the TV show and before it burned down), we 
don’t do any other Sturgis work.


Is there a WISP or even an integrator here that can do a project in 
Sturgis?   It would probably be small APs in the cabins and then some 
outdoor ones in the campground, behind a captive portal. And all 
probably interconnected wirelessly.


I can recommend a provider for the captive portal part that doesn’t 
take a cut of your profits.  Just requires a Mikrotik router at the site.

Interesting, and I wonder what this implies for AT&T and fixed wireless.   
Direct TV is the workforce that I would have expected them to use if they were 
serious about fixed wireless.
