If there's a mac-telnet package out there for linux, you kind of have to wonder why it isn't already in airOS... and ePMP, for that matter. it seems like it would be pretty simple to add and incredibly useful.

I now no longer have any PMP devices on my network. Now that I deploy any new Mikrotik wireless either, but if you can get to any Mikrotik device on that layer 2 segment, you can get to the rest. Router, AP, CPE, doesn't matter. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Steve D via Af" <[email protected]> To: "af" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 6:01:01 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP proxy Mike, You sound like you're trying to excuse it for not being there instead of just embracing a good feature that works? Yes, there are ways around, BUT, the Canopy AP-SM proxy *just works*. No thinking about how to get to that SM is required, if you can get to the AP then you can get to the SM - end of story. -Steve D On Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 8:37 AM, Mike Hammett via Af <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Use the CLI to fix whatever's wrong with accessing the GUI? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Bill Prince via Af" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 10:34:41 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP proxy Possibly a little simpler with similar results.

With ePMP and UBNT, you're still at the mercy of having the right IP address set in the SM before you can manage it (even when connecting from the AP). We sorely miss this feature in ePMP, and it makes NMS mapping a major headache.. We don't pre-map SMs before they go out into the field, so with ePMPs, I have to create a static ARP entry for the 192.168.0.2 address in the closest Mikrotik router, and use the Tik proxy to get into the SM.. Change IP, delete ARP, rinse, repeat. Click-through is a cruel joke without the proxy. I really, really hope it gets properly implemented.

The installers do NOT have to get out a computer or otherwise access the device. Power it up, point it at the tower, listen for signal, call the office for a signal quality check and go. Everything regarding CPE programming can be done remotely. This can be done with Ubnt as well by SSH to the AP's and then to the CPE but it's not as clean as Canopy. No way at all that I know of with ePMP. Mark On Dec 17, 2014, at 11:04 PM, Steve D via Af <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Use it all the time. Between it and installer color code field techs can't FUBAR an install. When our larger networks were vlan'd years ago that made the process super safe. One of the "best features" of the canopy platform in my book. It annoys me working on 802.11 crap when I see a tech has typo'd something like an IP or vlan.

I thought you guys had Canopy-like SM "click-thru" access, aka LUID proxy. But this is not the case on 2.3.3. All you give me is a URL with the IP of the SM. Informational helpful, yes, operationally helpful, no. I'm guessing you need an RF private network like exists on Canopy to make this work. Please do it. ________________________________ [http://static.avast.com/emails/avast-mail-stamp.png] <http://www.avast.com/> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com<http://www.avast.com/>
