[WISPA] Mikrotik MPLS voodoo

2013-07-13 Thread Scott Carullo
I have rolled out MPLS on about 4 hops on my network with anticipation of expanding that to all towers once the concept proves itself in this small section on the network. I'm having issue getting traffic to pass through VPLS tunnel in real life. In the lab it works, when we played with it in

[WISPA] Maxxwave router MTU problem / question

2013-07-13 Thread Scott Carullo
I know these are fairly popular routers so I was wondering if anyone has seen this issue before Mikrotik v5.24 or 5.25 - go to ethernet interface and open an interface, I can't increase the MTU size greater then the default 1500. Some of the Maxxwave routers I can. No rhyme or reason

First stage would be to check the basics. Can both ends of the VPLS tunnel ping each other? Are all interfaces between end points exchanging LDP? Assuming this is all good I suspect an MTU issue so have you got any RB450G, RB493G, older routerboards, etc. in the path? - Reply message -

I should have clarified - the Ciscos are not running mpls - those are the customer routers on each side of the metro ethernet circuit I am providing. I'm handing them a L2 tunnel - so the Cisco having a smaller MTU should help rather than cause a problem I think Scott Carullo Technical

Hi Scott, If you perform a ping between your pe routers (mikrotik devices prior to hand-off to customer), what is the maximum size packet you can send successfully, with df bit set? P. - Reply message - From: Scott Carullo sc...@brevardwireless.com To: Paul Hendry

Check your LDP Neighbors and make sure you have something showing in Addresses. What is your MTU on the interfaces between the hops? On Sat, Jul 13, 2013 at 6:16 PM, Paul Hendry paul.hen...@skyline-networks.com wrote: Hi Scott, If you perform a ping between your pe routers (mikrotik

Check the ethernet chipset, Make sure it isn't the Intel 82583V chipset. This won't support jumbo frames in v5.X. On Sat, Jul 13, 2013 at 6:44 PM, Faisal Imtiaz fai...@snappytelecom.netwrote: HI Scott, I bet you if you dropped a quick email with this question to Brian at Baltic networks

Thats what I have bummer. The way you stated it I am led to believe in 6.x you can change MTU sizes with that chipset? Now they just have to make 6.x work good if thats the case I'm not convinced its fully baked yet from what I have seen. Thanks Scott Carullo Technical Operations
