Re: [AFMUG] [OT] Weird MT situation

We use 5.25 and 5.26 on most of our routers. The main issues we've seen are SSH brute force and DNS relay. We have a central DNS server that we send everyone to located in our NOC, so we disabled "Allow remote requests." This could easily be done with a firewall rule if you do use the routers for D

We gave our technicians Plantronics wireless headsets... The main downfall we've seen with them is that after a short time, the headset goes to "sleep" and takes an extra second or two to re-connect to the base and pick the call up, otherwise, the techs that use them are pleased with the performanc

They haven't changed since version 9 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.7.1) index 0, maybe that will work. Otherwise, I haven't seen version 7 firmware in over 5 years... Nicholas Eastman Royell Communications, Inc. (217) 965-3699 1-877-400-9319 nic.east...@royell.org On Fri, Oct 31, 2014 at 1:47 PM, Sam

To throw my 2 cents in, +1 for Ajenti for managing servers, I've used webmin and ajenti both and like the performance/stripped down approach of Ajenti better. Also +1 for cPanel once you get into allowing customers to manage/update DNS on their own. We host our own DNS server that is locked for our

I just set up a basic one the other day. It grabs RSSI, SNR, MCS rates in the default graph. I have a separate graph template that appears to be polling traffic rates correctly as well. (ePMP doesn't report from the standard interface table). I'm out working at a tower site today, but will post the

We have been using Mikrotiks (RB110AHx2) for tower sites that we have put in place over the past couple years. With that being said, we have started to notice more and more ports failing even with surge suppression in place. I know that certain issues are unavoidable, but it has brought up the age
