The purpose of this script is to provide a solution for loss of service from ISP providers. The idea is for a topology where there are two different ISP providers, one of them provides a static IP and the other provides a dynamic IP address. It is important to clarify that DNS should be usable from either ISP connection. This is because each ISP has its own DNS service. If a connection is lost it...

VLAN example on MikroTik Routers - Let us assume that we have two or more MikroTik RouterOS routers connected with hub. Interfaces to the physical network, where the VLAN is to be created is ether1 for all them (it is needed only for example simplification, it is NOT a must). To connect computers through VLAN they must be connected physically and unique IP addresses should be assigned them so that...

Some of X86 server based mikrotiks were showing “R” at ethernet interfaces although the cable is unplug. I did some quick searching and found that on X86 installs by default there is an option “disable-running-check” enabled. What this does is make the interface appear to always be running. As a byproduct if the interface always appears to be running, any IP addressing and routing is also still...

Wireless retransmission is when the card sends out a frame and you don't receive back the acknowledgment (ACK), you send out the frame once more till you get back the acknowledgment. Wireless retransmits can increase the latency and also lower the throughput of the wireless link. To check if the wireless connection has wireless retransmissions you need to compare two fields in the wireless...
