Re: [WISPA] DNS Name Resolver for WISP
Seconded. We also use unbound with a few tweaks. Anycast is a perfect solution for Unbound DNS resolvers. We have several scattered across the network so resolution/DNS cache is closer to the customer than just at our NOC. It works very, very well.

Re: [WISPA] UBNT/Win8 Issue....
We have a couple Win 8.1 machines that connect to our office UniFi AP Pros just fine. I would look at the wireless card/driver as suspect instead of the OS. Try looking at the manufacturer site of both the computer and the wireless card to see if there is an updated driver. If not, try a USB wifi adapter to see if that works. Make sure if you are deploying WPA2 that it is doing WPA2 AES. I've seen lots of issues with hardware and WPA2 TKIP.

Re: [WISPA] PMP100 Software Revisions
I contacted Cambium support about this recently. The upgrade path the technician gave me was this: 7.3.6 - 8.2.7 – 9.0 – 9.4.2 – 9.5 – 10.3.2 – 10.5 – 11.0.1 - 11.2 - 12.1 They also indicated that there were timing changes in 10.x and that causes some issues with older firmware. They highly recommend to run the 12.1 firmware whenever possible. We are using 12.1 without any issues so far in a couple different cells.

Re: [WISPA] 2.4ghz AP interfering with 2-way radio
Make sure all cables going up the tower, including Cat5 and their feed line for the 2-way radio, has the shield grounded properly at top, middle and bottom of the tower. I agree with Matt Brendle, try powering down the NBM2 and do a quick test to see if anything changes. Mobile radios usually output more power than a handheld (mobile is 10w or higher where handheld is about 5w) so the mobiles are probably pushing enough power to break through the RFI generated by the NBM2, if any.

Re: [WISPA] LMR Cables
According to the 3M website, Super 33+ and Super88 have the same bonding temperatures. The only difference is the thickness. Super 33 is 7 mils thick and Super 88 is 8.5 mils thick. For reference, their adhesion to steel and their own backing is -18C to 22C (0F to 72F). I've always avoided using dielectric on the threads. I don't want anything to come between my LMR end and it's threaded socket. I want that connection to be the best possible ground it can be. Other than that, I've done the same procedure as Jim suggested. The only exception is that I do break the tape at the end, however I do it with the tape in my hands and I pull quickly. This gives it a nice clean break rather than stretching it out. Then I finish the wrap and it seems to do just fine.

Not enough to stretch it out bad but enough to ensure you have a GOOD solid seal against the under tape/coax.

Re: [WISPA] Choosing core router for small - medium WISP

We have to choose supplier of core router for our WISP projects. I know technical characteristics and price for core routers from Cisco - 7200 and 7600 series. Although these models have impressive possibilities, their price is very prohibitive for small/medium projects. Which models of core router do use in your projects? I would like to get your recommendations, its advantages and disadvantages. Would like to know some cheap and middle-price options. It comes down to the feature set you need and the performance required. Can you share your expected traffic numbers and what features you want to run? The cisco 7200 is a bit long in the tooth, the 7600 is the way to go forward. Each can be found on the secondary market for cheap. From a new device purchase decision, it's hard to beat the Juniper SRX series for smaller deployments. a $1500 router can handle 300 mbit/s of IP/mpls and firewall in hardware is hard to beat. The new MX series can handle 80gb/slot and its the next big competition to the 7600 from cisco. Junos is amazing to work with compared to IOS too. However if you do need multiple line rate 10gb/s interfaces, the ALU 7750/7710 should be considered too. I'd not consider the Imagestream product as it's not a serious carrier contender. As of two years back they just did not have a product, and bowed out of an RFP I was forced into running. It's a neat small office router, but that's all.

Re: [WISPA] Nagios vs. The Dude
PNP4Nagios works pretty well. The only thing that I didn't like is that it was a steep (very steep) learning curve for that interface vs. Cacti. I didn't really want to go through and re-create all of my graph templates again so I stuck with Cacti. NINJA is ok, but I found it to be a bit irritation when dealing with moving from existing configurations to NINJA. If you are starting out a new Nagios installation then NINJA is probably ok for your needs. I used NagVis for a short period of time. My irritations with it always seem to be the support staff.

Re: [WISPA] My fun (kidding) weekend on call
You don't have a rule accepting HTTP (port 80). The log it uses is the internal MikroTik log that you can view via /log print. The IP addresses in the rules are just stating to accept all traffic from those two networks. So basically you would want to think about where management requests coming _into_ your bandwidth manager are coming _from_. For instance, if your bandwidth manager is 192.168.0.1 and your workstation is 192.168.100.1, you will want to put an action=accept rule in for 192.168.100.0/24. That way your workstation can always get to the bandwidth manager, no matter what port/protocol you use (provided that it's an enabled service in the bandwidth manager.

To try to battle this I went to the WIKI for Mikrotik and entered this string: / ip firewall filter add chain=input connection-state=established comment=Accept established connections add chain=input connection-state=related comment=Accept related connections add chain=input connection-state=invalid action=drop comment=Drop invalid connections add chain=input protocol=udp action=accept comment=UDP disabled=no add chain=input protocol=icmp limit=50/5s,2 comment=Allow limited pings add chain=input protocol=icmp action=drop comment=Drop excess pings add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=22 comment=SSH for secure shell add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=8291 comment=winbox # End of Edit # add chain=input action=log log-prefix=DROP INPUT comment=Log everything else add chain=input action=drop comment=Drop everything else Immediately after implementing this WhatsUp indicated: [cid:part1.07000105.02090002@wabroadband.com]http://monitor.wabroadband.com/NmConsole/Workspace/DeviceStatus/DeviceStatus.asp?nDeviceID=177bandwdith managerhttp://monitor.wabroadband.com/NmConsole/Workspace/DeviceStatus/DeviceStatus.asp?nDeviceID=177 HTTP(Down at least 5 min) http://monitor.wabroadband.com/NmConsole/Reports/Full/Device/ProblemAreas/RptStateChangeTimeline/RptStateChangeTimeline.asp?nDeviceID=177 So how can I protect my bandwidth manager and still monitor it at the same time? I guess I could disable HTTP monitor and do pings on the monitor software. Three more quick questions: 1) I didn't put in these lines because I wasn't sure what IP's to use, same problem when I installed PRTG I'm not sure what IP's I need to monitor within the system to watch: # Edit these rules to reflect your actual IP addresses! # add chain=input src-address=159.148.172.192/28 comment=From Mikrotikls network add chain=input src-address=10.0.0.0/8 comment=From our private LAN 2) The add chain=input action=log log-prefix=DROP INPUT comment=Log everything else command indicates there is a log that I can watch foul traffic, where do I find that log? 3) Is there more sets of examples for firewalls for my Mikrotik routers somewhere, I'm searching WIKI's right now. Thanks for the help, hope your weekend is going well, I already have logged 100 miles just chasing outages down in the last 12 hours.

On my backhauls when one Mikrotik goes down its not unusual for the foul traffic to permeate throughout (yes I'm bridged) the network and take down other Mikrotik's and often requires a drive to reboot then they work fine again, irritating, yes but still great equipment.

Ubiquiti is a monster for power and throughput, it's menus are basic but filters entry options are slim and limited to IP rather than by protocol so some things sneak through that wouldn't with Mikrotik. This, unfortunately, is one cost of less expensive gear. FWIW, you have most of the same functionality available in both platforms, but it's just not in the GUI for UBNT.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL Users
Hi Brad, Alvarion firmware 5.5.26 and above have some decent mechanisms to deal with noise and flooded RF environments. However, the clients need to have a decent receive level (roughly -65 or better) if the noise floor is higher than -90 in order to keep traffic flowing decently. There are a couple other mechanisms internally to the radio such as Noise Immunity controls and a few others. 5.5 and above is almost a requirement when running Alvarion VL equipment. Anything below 5.5 doesn't show noise floor or RSSI (they only show SNR, which is just weird). On 4/24/10 8:05 PM, Brad Belton b...@belwave.com wrote: Agreed. A few years ago we tried (very hard) to deploy Alvarion VL. Crashed and burned to the point we were tarnishing our reputation with a valued client before we threw in the towel.

Re: [WISPA] Imagestream (was Vyatta?)
Once the warranty is up on the hardware, you can basically do whatever you want with it. So long as the card works with the eepro100 or eepro1000 Linux driver, it will load just fine on an Imagestream router. Some fiber cards fall into that category also ;) But, regardless of who makes your router it is usually a good idea to buy parts from the manufacturer, or make sure that adding 3rd party stuff doesn't void your warranty. That being said, I believe they are using the Intel Pro/1000 PT server cards in the newer equipment (PCI Express). Those server cards do provide the performance from what I've seen and they average about $115 at various retailers. http://www.intel.com/products/server/adapters/pro1000pt/pro1000pt-overview.h tm On 4/22/10 10:19 PM, Scott Carullo sc...@brevardwireless.com wrote: It was a standard card, I did the same thing Travis.

Re: [WISPA] Best Backhaul link 11Ghz 20 miles @ 100MB?
We have 10 Ceragon links in a mixture of 11Ghz and 6Ghz (low band). The issues we have had are either cryptic enough that Ceragon themselves has no idea what to do about it or their support just flat out sucks. Here is the list: - We paid for 200mbit license, however the radios seem to max out at 155mbps (they are an STM radio after all). - We have several radios that are not able to output full power it seems. We have a few 6Ghz links that output 30dB while others cannot go above 26dB. Same radio model, same outdoor gear, same cables etc. Ceragon had no answer. When asked about why the links were not able to do this the answer we received in the field was It's a 50/50 shot. Awesome. Thanks Ceragon. - Ceragon radios with the 10/100 Ethernet interface do not have traffic counters in SNMP. Graphing of traffic must be done via a switch port. - Ceragon support always seems to be either stumped or the person who has the answers to our questions is always out of the office. - I have yet to receive a proper response on exactly what the procedure is to upgrade firmware on the radios. We have several with issues that Ceragon explained are fixed in newer firmware. No idea where to actually GET the firmware either and support seemed clueless about that as well last time I called. The issue we see is that after upgraded to a Gigabit Ethernet interface, we are still unable to get higher than 100mbit/s on our radios licensed for 200mbit/s. Ceragon fixed one of them but we still can only get 155mbit/s out of it. They never told us what they did to fix it and I could never reach the tech who did the work either. I will say this, the links that work properly are fairly rock solid. We have had a couple RFU units die off due to them transmitting at 100% power 100% of the time in order to stay linked up. That is with ATPC enabled.

Re: [WISPA] Seagate 7200.11 Hard Drives
Where do you guys buy your drives from that you have had such good luck with WD and not Seagate? Since 1994 I have had countless failures with Maxtor and Western Digital disks. In fact just a few weeks ago I had TWO Western Digitals fail in the same server and they were Raid Edition disks! In my lifetime I have had maybe two Seagate drives fail. It also makes a huge difference, with any brand, what model of drive you buy. If you buy a cheap version of any of them then you are just asking for issues. Western digital I would stick with anything Black edition or better. Seagate I would stick with anything XT or better.

I've talked to one other WISPA member who had this problem (As well as my own experience with them - 5 sent back already on my own) and thought others may want to look to see what's in their servers.

On 4/20/10, Tom DeReggi wirelessn...@rapiddsl.net wrote: In all fairness It not appropriate to single out a HDD by a broad part number like 7200.11. That part number alone would likely have many revs which would slightly differ, and each firmware would could have significantly different compatibility issues. The Seagate Barracuda has always been a respected and high quality drive brand. But just like any product can have a bad batch or idiosyncracies in this Complex PC world. Specifically note that 7200.11 series support NCQ, a feature that improves both performance and drive life, rarely found in a desktop HDD. Yes, the 7200.11 is specifiied as a DESKTOP Class drive NOT a SERVER Class RAID drive, so it should used under such expections and applications. Although it is specified for Desktop RAID. However, for drives that fail in a raid, I rarely blaim HDDs themselves for the failure of raid. I'd argue that Desktop raid solutions are pretty much Crap, and the ones based on PRomise chipsets really cant be relied on for anything important. I cant count how many raid solutions we've been exposed to that failed killing more than 1 drive in the raid at once, resulting in data loss. (and Not necessarilly with Seagate drives, we also use WD heavilly). For this reason, we almost always now will chose basic mirroring over complex Raid, for all applications, expect extreme cases that really need a large amount of capacity, and for those applications we often mirror the raid sets. They just dont make quality Raid controllers like they used to do in the SCSI days. We have been very successful with Seagate Barracudas in our mirrored systems. We usually will use Linux of Microsoft native Software mirroring, not hardware based. So if you had a bad batch of Seagate, I dont doubt that, but we should not condemn the product line in general, and if anything, we shoudl praise Seagate for having a RMA department that is so easy to work with and willing to replace drives with no questions asked.

Re: [WISPA] Best Backhaul link 11Ghz 20 miles @ 100MB?
The diagnostics were all windows based it seemed. The issue we have is that not all machines are windows based and it would be nice to have our monitoring system be able to run some of the diagnostics as well (which is Linux based). Not only that but it felt like the deep diags were all closed source and we would have to send the tech file to Dragonwave support in order to find out what is going on. There just didn't seem to be as many metrics available to us in Dragonwave as there were in other equipment for SNMP etc. I prefer to be proactive in resolving issues :) But this also was late 2007, I'm sure quite a bit has changed since then.

Re: [WISPA] DHCP options
I believe in that instance the CPE does a dhcp relay or sorts. In my experiences Alvarion equipment doesn't do dhcp relay. It simply bridges the wireless interface straight to the Ethernet interface. There are some filters that can be enabled between the two, but very little is done to separate them. All DHCP requests (that I've seen) from the Alvarion VL and B-series radios come directly from the client MAC address when the client requests DHCP. What we did was enable DHCP servers on each tower router. This allows each tower to have it's own DHCP pool and prevents DHCP packets from traveling across the entire backbone when it's not really necessary. From there we can view/manage each DHCP pool for the clients that come off of a specific tower. Makes things much easier. We did look into PPPoE, however the requirements on the client side would cause more and longer support calls. Allowing customers to purchase whatever cheap router they desire, plug it into our radio and get an address greatly reduces the overhead in all areas. Since the MAC address of whatever is plugged into the Ethernet port of the Alvarion radio is available via SNMP, it's quite easy to figure out who has what IP address. I do have plans to do some additional logging of things through SNMP traps with the Alvarion gear (log when MAC addresses change on Ethernet client etc.) but I haven't had time to mangle with that yet. Maybe even a Nagios alert when it happens. Great, now I'm rambling... On 10/8/09 9:26 PM, John Vogel jvo...@vogent.net wrote: I have no idea how the Alvarion equipment handles bridging, but when I have needed to bridge the CPE and also give the client an address via DHCP, I have done it with a Mikrotik DHCP server, inputting the MAC of the radio, but specifying use src mac address. That lets the client plug whatever they want in to the ethernet port I give them out of the bridge radio and get the address I have assigned to them via DHCP. You do have to be sure there are no rogue DHCP servers on the network. There may well be limited circumstances that this would work. I have done it with Senao (CB3), Deliberant, Tranzeo, and UBNT bridges. The primary reason I use it is for when the static IP I have entered into the client router (Linksys, Belkin etc.) lose their config and go to factory defaults. Lets me get the customer back online without a truck roll, or spending 20 minutes talking them through the configuration of the router. My preference is to use a routing CPE, and hand out NATed IPs to the customer from there. John Cameron Kilton wrote: We are looking into a DHCP delivery method that doesn't require the use of Mac Addresses to enter. We are using all Alvarion VL equipment (5.x 900) the problem is: We want Customer to plug in device and get a DHCP address, easy right. Okay hard part, without the use of Mac addresses how can we tell which customers are what and log this into a database. Is there a way to control this via the radio? We don't want to use PPPoE so that option is out, we currently provide Static IP numbers for everybody but would like to get away from this in certain (cheaper) markets.

Currently we are looking to replace out Barracuda due to ongoing issues with the box that after several attempts to work with Barracuda can not be resolved. Barracuda is helpful but like to point at other things like DNS and unrelated stuff. In the end they log into the box after wasting time so something to kick the box and we are good for an undetermined amount of time. The Barracuda gives us a few features that we like such as an in house box that we are not paying per email address or domain. Also the per user configurability is great for letting users independently control their white and blacklists. In a nutshell what products should we look at that offer us similar features as the Barracuda box. You can roll your own with Postfix and a few addons. After looking at the configuration options for a lot of the Postfix addons, you come to the realization that with a few hours of work, you can have all of the software tools used by the Barracuda internally, and have root access to the box to fix it yourself when it goes south, instead of waiting on them. You can also throw in things like redundant hard drives, and redundant power. How a company can market a $3k+ device with a single IDE drive in good conscience is beyond me. I can't find the link right now, but there is a package that provides users with an accessible, configurable quarantine, just like the Barracuda.

For all the normal stuff it runs every 5 minutes and produces graphs for not just ping but 'smoke ping', http, dns, ssh, and other commonly discovered ports. It also collects a good bit of snmp data and graphs it. The time invested and IRC questions this last Feb are paying off in a sweet way now.

Re: [WISPA] maybe this should be the WISPA shirt
I believe a few of us here at Cyberlink have purchased that shirt and more than likely will be wearing it at ISPcon :P I tried to make the argument that it should be standard issue, but that got shot down :( Brian Webster wrote: I just wouldn't wear something like this to a zoning hearing where people are bringing up the concept of RF exposure..

Re: [WISPA] Quick Apache Help
I'm going to assume you started getting these after doing an upgrade on Apache? Looks like you have the Virtual Hosts defined oddly. Before any VirtualHost directives, you must have a config entry for NameVirtualHost that has either the IP or an asterisk (*). Additionally, your VirtualHost directive for each site looks like it is defined as VirtualHost www.sitename.com:80 instead of VirtualHost IP.HERE:80 or VirtualHost *:80 The following might help significantly: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html Carl A jeptha wrote: My web guy is in hospital - long story short - getting an error and need to bring up sites right now.

Re: [WISPA] WISP Peering
That's where peering agreements come into play. Last case scenario you (WISP-A) just want to drop peering entirely but WISP-B doesn't stop advertising your route, then call up whoever their upstream is and talk to their NOC. If the /20 is your allocation from ARIN, and you aren't peering anymore, explain the situation to the NOC and they can stop accepting your /20 from WISP-B's advertisement. Easy as that. Travis Johnson wrote: This is not correct. Let's do an example: WISP-A is getting bandwidth from Provider A. They have a /20 network. Provider A has to allow that /20 in their BGP filters. WISP-B is getting bandwidth from Provider B. They have a /20 network. Provider B has to allow that /20 in their BGP fitlers. WISP-A and WISP-B setup a peering, but also to allow failover if either Provider goes down. Thus Provider A and Provider B both have to allow BOTH /20 networks in their BGP filters. Now, for some unknown reason, WISP-B decides to start announcing WISP-A's /20 network as local to their network. BGP will become very confused, and thus WISP-A will essentially be down. All of this with a single network entry by WISP-B... they just wiped out WISP-A. Travis Microserv Zack Kneisley wrote: On 4/26/07, Travis Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My personal concern would be turning over my IP block to my competition. They would have to have enough control to allow BGP routes from their upstream. Technically they could misconfigure a router accidentally and take your entire network down. :( That is what BGP filtering and prefixes are about. Either you peer correctly or incorrectly and don't peer. No turning over blocks happen. Travis Microserv Mike Hammett wrote: If they're network peering, they'd be connecting each other's networks together to exchange local traffic that way. They could also have an alliance where if someone's Internet feeds go out, they use another WISP's Internet feed until restoration.
