This is Justin and Greg just having a quick chat about nothing in particular…just the way I like it 😉
We talk a little about:
Elastix
MagicJack
CCRs
A little about the AU MUM...I need my ANDREWS!
BFD
MTK cable diagnostics
Here’s the video:(if you don’t see it, hit refresh)
I don’t know if the followup is intended to be to the submitter via email or a reply in the forum thread however it seems a good idea to allow quick submission of confirmed issues.
Can’t see any official post on the forum noting when it came about, but if you have any experience using this already; feel free to comment below.
Andrew was out sick for this one so it was just JJ, Justin and Greg. We tried out google huddle this go around and I have to say it was a success 🙂
We talked about:
JJ read the airfiber manual…why would any self respecting man read a manual?
We talk briefly about the Latvian TV interview with the Mikrotik CTO.
The new Mikrotik 951 marketing video.
We spoke about the firewall script I put up.
We spoke breifly about OSPF NBMA.
Here’s my rubber-band gun 😉

I found this to be a very interesting read/listen (depending on your language you may want to enable the subtitles) to some of the history of MikroTik
Also if you follow the video you’ll find the official MikroTik YouTube channel.
It’s been out over 2 months now and I’ve been running it on a test home router for 79 days personally so I figure it’s about time to make you all aware of just some of the new features in RouterOS v6.0beta1
Certificate upgrades:
The built in certificate functions now allow creation of self signed CA’s via /certificate caÂ
Support for SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol) has been introduced in both a client and server role via /certificate scep which allows the easy delivery and revocation of certificates from a central point (your all seeing RouterOS box of course!)
This feature does not appear to be present in winbox yet however I will try to remember to add a picture when it is!
Traffic Generator:
This tool allows you to extend your service testing kit by providing the ability to generate raw traffic on specific ports and protocols for testing purposes.
Found under /tool traffic-generator, you can build a custom test packet using the packet template, settings values such as vlan, source and destination IP address, fragmentation flag status, dscp value and raw data content to name a few.
The possibilities for testing with this tool are incredibly promising and exciting*
*I’m very interested to test the reliability of the statistics this presents against some upper end service qualification gear from Xena Networks (whom MikroTik themselves use for their router throughput testing) and Accedian Networks.
