Quagga is a network routing software available in most GNU/Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and NetBSD. It provides the implementation of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), RIP (Routing Information Protocol), BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and IS-IS. It is distributed under GNU GPL license.
EoIP or Ether over IP tunnel is a tunnel protocol designed by Mikrotik development team which allows network administrators to easily connect private LANs located in different locations separated by cities or countries. As long as the Mikrotik routers can ping each other, we can create the EoIP tunnel among them.
DHCP is basically a protocol to assign dynamic IP address to clients. It means you don’t need to touch the clients’ computer / laptop to manually set with a static IP address. The IP address will be assigned dynamically to the clients.
If you use Ubuntu Linux as a router, you may need to create VLAN (virtual LAN) interfaces in Ubuntu to divide your LAN. It is common in network infrastructures to use VLAN.
This post is intended to show you how to create VLAN in Ubuntu Linux operating system. I am using Ubuntu 12.10 but it should be applicable for all Ubuntu versions. Simply follow the steps below:
Previously I have written a tutorial about how to setup PPTP VPN connection on Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Now I want to show how to set up VPN on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. It should be also applicable for Leopard or Snow Leopard.
We will use the previously configured Mikrotik as the PPTP VPN Server.
This post shows you how to set up PPTP VPN on Galaxy Tab 7 P1000 running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
After reading this post you should know and understand how to setup VPN client on Android-powered devices such as Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy Tab will connect to the PPTP VPN server running on Mikrotik RouterOS that we have set up before.
This tutorial guides you how to setup PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) server on Mikrotik RouterOS.
I assume you already understand what PPTP is. If not, better to read PPTP explanation on Wikipedia.
It may happen to you that you forget the Mikrotik administrator password. In routerboard’s families, you can reset to default by pressing the reset button located on the board (or via netinstall). But if it happens on Mikrotik DOM (disk on module), is there a way to reset to default configuration?
Are you new to Mikrotik and do you want to learn Mikrotik RouterOS? If you are a network administrator who wants to use a powerful device with an affordable price, you should select Mikrotik RouterBoard (RB) as your choice. The routerboard ranges from RB100 to RB 2100 with different specifications.
In case you want to block access to Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or other websites, it is easy to do this job on Mikrotik RouterOS. You can use either web proxy or directly from firewall rule to block websites.
According to Mikrotik Wiki, you can block users from accessing websites using content option in Mikrotik Firewall rule. One rule per content you want to block. So if you want to block, for example, Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, you have to create rule for each content.
