routeros

Less than a week

by

We’ve just dropped below a week until my new FTTP service is scheduled for install. I’ve been doing a bit of prep work in anticipation as well, the CHR is back alive on a new server, low powered Xeon this time rather than monster. With the new efficiencies of RouterOS it’s now more capable than ever and I am “only” going to be pushing 1Gb max.

I’ve also upgraded it to ROSv7 so I can take advantage of the newer queueing algorithms, FQ_CoDel being the main one I wanted to get my hands on but I will try with CAKE once things have settled down although I hopeful that with a 1000/115 connection I shouldn’t need to QoS much of anything.

The Migration Has Started

As a small update on what is going on in my world. I am now slowly starting migrating all of my MikroTik related content onto my new domain MikNet.
I get a resounding amount of contact through from people all around the world talking to me about MikroTik related problems and projects they have and I feel that the “Steveocee” persona is not the right person to be dealing with this (Steveocee is an ingame handle so may be confusing when my channel is 80% PC games). MikNet will still receive the same content, tutorials and ongoing MikroTik love and also has it’s own YouTube channel which will slowly start to get filled up with helpful and niche problem solutions.

CHR back in place with a shuffle around

The new PSU has worked so far so it was back up into the attic rack for my R210ii. No other modifications although if it manages a couple of weeks I will most likely look into some Noctua fans to quiet it off a bit. A bit of a tidy up as well removing some old switches and getting the patch panel in line.
One of the next jobs on the list will be to get a “CRS3XX” down into the cave so I can take advantage of some 10GB goodness with failover on 2 of the 3 fibres.
