Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSFP considerations for WISP

A couple of other points to remember. All routers must have a unique ID. Do not use 0.0.0.0 for any of them. Mikrotik gets a little goofy with them sometimes. Keep all timeouts, etc. the same in each Area. Sometimes it pays to try a different type. Flapping OSPF can find other issues you d

Re: [Mikrotik Users] [OffList: Mikrotik Users] OSFP considerations for WISP

If you plan on ever using MPLS or TE tunnels you have to use broadcast. For whatever reason PTP and PTMP do messed up things with TE. That was about a year ago I discovered that so it may be fixed now. Who knows with how much they change on RouterOS. On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 7:49 AM, Scott Reed via

I am a consultant that can help with this. I have helped several other networks move from bridged to routed and implement OSPF as well. Let me know if you are interested in some services and we can work out how I can best help you. On 6/27/2017 8:57 AM, Robert Dillon via Mikrotik-users wro

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSFP considerations for WISP

ok thank you both for chiming in. I get what both you said. And really this is a bunch of independent point to point links. But what I was really thinking of going with is NBMA because it says its good for wireless networks by not using multicast. I was hoping to hear some Ya's or Na's based on

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSFP considerations for WISP

And PtMP is for Point to MultiPoint. So, topology defines what you use. Each network type has its place. Also, you will want all of the routers to be time-synched from the same source. On 6/27/2017 9:49 AM, Dennis Burgess via Mikrotik-users wrote: I would suggest contacting a MT consultan

I would suggest contacting a MT consultant that can answer these and help you, but point to point is made for guess what, point to point links :) heehhe . Dennis Burgess - Network Solution Engineer - Consultant MikroTik Certified Trainer/Consultant

[Mikrotik Users] OSFP considerations for WISP

Hello all, we are going to be running OSPF on our network using Mikrotik CCR routers at each tower. We are transitioning from a fully bridged network to a routed network. Network is made up a several interconnected rings using full duplex microwave links. We have 2 different upstream providers i
