We have one concentrator at each tower site for just the customers on that tower. Other than the issues with the reboot and /export the Mikrotik runs rather low on cpu.

Hi John,

This sounds quite odd, are you running distributed PPPoE concentrators or bridging back from the towers to a central concentrator ?

175+ PPPoE sessions on a 450G sounds excessive, for this number of connections we would normally run an RB1100 or an x86 box.



Regards,




Andrew

We have 16 Towers. Almost 1900 Customers. 3 Points of presence on the internet (connected together with pptp links). We are statically routed right now with a 10.X.0.0/16 to each tower router

My problem is my boss wants to assign an ip to a customer with PPPoE and make that ip work anywhere on the network, with OSPF it is possible. We tried it but on the Tower Routers that had 175+ PPPoE connections the Mikrotiks would not reboot if told in the software to reboot. They would power down and not boot back up. They had to be hard booted. Not to mention that if I tried to run /export on the mikrotik the CPU usage would peg out at 100% and not come down. Is there any other way of doing what I need to do.

The Mikrotiks in question are all 4.15 or less version. One is a X86 processor with more than enough hardware. The others are 450G. The Mikrotiks after rebooted are running about 20% or less
