    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    Why make things so insanely complicated? Pay a bit more money per month for more address blocks. A /30 is 1 network address, 1 broadcast address, 1 gateway address and 1 single usable address.

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    All Mikrotik routers can do QoS. The main difference is how fast they can process. The RB1100AHx2 actually only has a single port directly connected to the CPU, port 11. Avoid using ports 12 and 13 due to the fact that they are connected through a PCI-e bus. Once more, I strongly suggest...

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    LOL that sounds like a horrible switch then ;) I guess i knew there was a reason I usually don't recommend Netgear, D-Link or any of the other "Best Buy specials". Correct. As long as that is not in a routed range. IE. keep it behind your office's gateway, not the edgerouter. The router...

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    Well . . . that is sometimes true. It really depends on the type of QOS you are doing as well as the model of router. If you are splurging for an ER8-Pro, you can easily do simple class based rate limiting with bursts and have the traffic flow at 200+ mbps. The RB1100 is pretty much the same...

    Why can't I see server in one Account but can in another

    Check the credential manager as well in the misbehaving accounts. Quite a few times have i had to clear them out as well as run from an elevated command prompt; net use /delete * to clear out all mapped drives

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    I drew up a little diagram to make sure you understand what it is that needs to be done. Here is the end result: If you are planning on upping the speed past 100mb/s you will want a router that can do sub-interfaces via 802.1q at a minimum of 200mb/s with a few rules already in place with a...

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    Also very useful: http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php PS. a /31 is sometimes a valid network for P2P communication. I use them many times at work for link up sites via wireless links. See here for more info: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3021

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    A /30 in your situation is only a single usable IP. You assign one to your router. This becomes the tenant's default gateway. The tenant gets the other IP in the block. The CRS series is far too slow of a Layer3 device for your purposes. Only use them for what they were designed as, switches. At...

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    OK, so whats going to happen is one of the following: A. The ISP gives you a router pre-programmed with all the information to connect it to the internet. It will have multiple sub-interfaces that they program in for you to connect over layer 2. Any dumb switch will work in getting all the...

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    First off, every company SHOULD be able to see each other's external IP address. At that point, they are "on the internet" Second, how are you getting the IPs? 1 IP address from the ISP to connect to the default gateway and multiple secondary routed IP blocks? Are you sure its not 1 Routed IP...

    Routers similar to MikroTik CCR1072-1G-8S+

    The equivalent in cisco purely from a hardware perspective is the ASR-1001x Peplink has the BPL-2500 Theres also stuff from juniper, fortinet, etc. Using a prebuilt x86 hardware the closest thing you will get commercially is the Netgate XG-1540 You can build something faster but it really...

    Low cost Tiny Box/ Mini ITX Mobo + CPU/ SoC choices: Sophos 9.x UTM Home & its Updates for 2/3 yrs

    What are your bandwidth needs? Generally speaking since a router is on all the time you want the platform that burns the least power at idle but gives you enough "oomph" to max out your connection. The other issue is you must make sure the hardware is on the "Hardware Compatibility List" for...

    Switch Advice

    The HP 1920-24G (JG924A) is actually a fanless unit. One of my favorite switch drill down tools from any manufacturer is actually by HP. Take a look at it right here: http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/networking/products/switches/switch-selector.aspx

    Switch Advice

    I have used the 1920 and its predecessor for a while now in SMB space. Avoid the version with 10gbe for now. IIRC it is the 1950 line. It has a few bugs although the beta firmware appears to be stable. My only annoyance at the unit is the CLI is hidden. to access it: _cmdline-mode on...

    Router for Gigabit Internet

    Depending on the type of traffic . . . significant difference. This is where DiffServe, DSCP, and CoS all come into play. On enterprise level networks it is just as important (and sometimes even more so) to properly set up QoS on your switches than gateway edge router. It gets really important...

    Help setting up a small business network

    The specs look a bit like overkill for the job . . . but it will work and quite fast to boot. As per the shielded and grounded runs, make sure the ground is an isolated source. The only reason is you want it to be noise free else you are just throwing EMI into your cables probably worse than if...

    Router for Gigabit Internet

    Correct. QOS at the router level in both situations will hurt rather than help in away way.

    Router for Gigabit Internet

    This is completely wrong. A 1000/1000 connection is first and foremost a serial connection. The ISP will process packets in the order you send them. The second part is unless you have a link agg or 10gb connection into your router there is no benefit at all to QOS. Packet A hits the router on a...

    Help setting up a small business network

    A Ubiquiti ERL-3 is nowhere near powerful enough to load balance a 120mbps and 150mbps pair of links with QOS enabled. An ER8-Pro can probably handle the load. Layer 7 control . . . This has only just been implemented in the Edgemax firmware and may or may not work as well as you like. Avoid...
