I was really hoping to buy some time on these customers with high re-registrations. It looks like I just need to find a new band. I can't cut down my frequency list since it is a remote site and I sometimes need to swap channels just to get a radio to register at all. Time try some 2.4 at this spo

The first generation 80 GHz, 1 Gbps FDD bridge products ten years ago used OOK/BPSK and a high/low set of 5 GHz wide channels, like a Gigabeam or the earliest Bridgewave radios. Worked great and still didn't result in any colocation interference, with 60cm dishes, thanks to narrow dish beam width

[AFMUG] Access Both Sides of Downed Link Using OSPF?

How do you setup radio addresses so both ends of a link can be accessed (via loop) when the link is down? *What I've been doing... and how it doesn't work:* I've been setting up OSPF links using a /29. Router A -- Radio A ~~ Radio B -- Router B Devices get addresses: - .1 - Router A - .2

/30s are the simplest, you can use /32 addressing on the link between the two MTs.Or get a radio that is smart enough to handle two gateways with checks ☺ Out of band management radios are better yet /☺ [DennisBurgessSignature] www.linktechs.net – 314-735-0270 x10

Depending on how you monitor your network setting the radios up so that you can access them both when the link is down may be a bad thing. I use the dude to monitor and if the link goes down you wouldn't get notification if the remote radio was still accessible. This is how I do it: /24 subnet (pr

You can also leave it as you have it and setup a src-nat on router b (and a, for that matter) so that traffic to the radio ip is source natted to the router's iface /29. Then the gateways don't matter and whichever end is up will advertise the prefix and either radio is accessible. Get Outlo
