LibreNMS and MikroTik are a great combination.

A client reached out because they had no clear idea how their queues were configured or whether they were actually needed. After all, "everything seems to be running fine.". The usual mantra: "if eveything's working, what am I paying you for?"

I pulled up LibreNMS, grabbed a couple of screenshots, and suddenly everything made sense.
The response? "WOW."

I wanted to set up presence detection in Home Assistant without exposing my installation to the internet, and without giving the companion app on my phone access to location data.

I use MikroTik network gear at home, so I added the Mikrotik integration to Home Assistant. It showed my phone as a MAC address, connected through Wifi, and I used that as device tracker. Everything seemed fine, but then the next afternoon. the device tracker still showed me as Away.

I then discovered that GrapheneOS (edit: Android rather, see below) uses a different random MAC address for each connection to a network, as default. Changed it to use a static random MAC for my home network, and now it works as intended.

All this to avoid running the Morning Coffee automation if I'm not even home.

Screen shot from Home Assistant -> History for person Michael, showing me Home, Away, and then Home again. This matches my phone's connection to the home network.

The speakers at the third #MikroTik Professionals Conference have now been published on our website. We have selected MikroTik experts from all over the world who are coming to MTPC Prague in March to explain how to use many of the new features added to RouterOS v7 in the last few years. Tickets are still available for sale. Free beer (other drinks are available) the evening before! Plus of course, the famous free raffle! https://mtpc.world/agenda/

Exactly four years ago, I upgraded from #mikrotik #routeros 6.x to 7.x (7.1.2). What a magic moment! So many new features and of course my favorite is #wireguard ! Others are #macsec and #vxlan… Forgot to mention #mvrp ;-)

Hmmm - going over the various client networking projects over the last couple of years and I found exactly *one* requirement that couldn’t be done on @mikrotik switches. A city that had built out a dual fiber loop architecture that uses the ERP (Ethernet Ring Protection) protocol to replace RSTP.

Home or business their equipment is an insanely good value and if you’re in the EU and thinking about sovereignty issues, they should be at the top of your list

@justine For automatic backups of #mikrotik configs (and many other!) give #unimus a try!

https://unimus.net/

Simple and free for up to 10 devices!

NOTE - I live in a wooden house not a brick in sight.

@rachel Nice idea! Perhaps you could ask the #mikrotik forum?

#MikroTik hAP be3 looks nice, a real networking upgrade for me (from ASUS AX-53U with #OpenWRT) but it lacks SFP+

Moved yet another customer from #esxi to #proxmox today including #wireguard vpn tunnel to his new remote backup site aka home with #mikrotik in minutes! \o/

I’ve been selected to present at the #MikroTik Professionals Conference in Prague at the beginning of March. I guess I had best iron out the details of my presentation before then. #MTPC

We closed submissions for presenters to our #MikroTik Professionals Conference just before the holidays and have now concluded our final choices. We are notifying the presenters and will make it public on the website early next week. The “early bird” reduced pricing for the ticket prices will also be ending very soon. So if you haven’t already bought a ticket I’d suggest you do so soon! https://mtpc.world

I have now reset my shiny new RB5009 four (4) times because I keep messing up the VLAN config.

Fun stuff.

Have updated the internet setup at our static home. Someone has been taking my wifi advice and turned off a few 2.4GHz radios on their new Unifi install at the clubhouse 500m away. Have swung the #MikroTik LHG52 round a bit and found a 5GHz SSID I can connect to very well. Have also added an old LHG-LTE as a quick test backup. If tests for a couple of days show it works ok, I’ll order an ATL and sort out the CAT5 mess. Both LHGs are powered by a PowerBox with recursive routing for failover. 👌

Vertically looking upwards photo of a TV antenna pole mounted on the side of a static mobile home. On the pole is a UHF TV aerial and a pair of MikroTiks. Top one is a dual band LHG52 dish, lower one is a temporary LHG-LTE dish. CAT5 and coax cables are not neatly tied to the pole yet. The photo also shows a conifer tree and a clear night sky with stars clearly visible.

Playground setup with Raspberry Pi 5 and Mikrotik hEX router.

The Pi, with a M.2 HAT+ Compact, is running Raspberry Pi OS Desktop.

The hEX is running RouterOS 7.20.6, without a default configuration. Right now it's acting more like a switch.

I'm using Raspberry Pi Connect to access the Pi from outside my home network, and mostly ssh and WinBox to access the devices when inside, but Connect also works here.

oh, didn't notice #mikrotik #routeros 7.20.x was out. nice.

@lexinova @mikrotik DDNS service from #mikrotik works fine and is dead simple.

/ip/cloud/set ddns-enabled=yes

And do not forget to set the wg-client settings on the „server“ side as responder.

latest ROS (7.21rc3) lets you finally define the allowed IP parameter for the client in the responders settings to generate a complete client configuration for c&p / QRCODE

Any #mikrotik enthusiasts at #39c3 ?
