Keep a list of 'discovered' DHCP servers and their mac addresses in a table. Usually, the LAN mac address of the consumer routers is one off from the WAN mac address, so we should be able to quickly identify who has plugged their router in backwards. Mark Nash Network Engineer

[WISPA] 5.3/5.8 GHz Antenna Suggestion

2006-12-30 Thread Mark Nash - Lists
I have usually used Trango backhauls, so I have not had to worry about 5 GHz antennas and what to choose. Now I'm going to try a MikroTik backhaul with a CM9. Currently, I've got two applications: 1. 2-mile link that I can perhaps use 5.3GHz over. 2. 8-mile link that I'll go 5.8GHz over.
