    Connecting 2 HP 1810-24G switches

    Good! To answer the laptop Pause frame question. The laptop must have flow control enabled. This may be done in the network adapter settings. Or in a few rare cases. Is done in hardware on the card and is not modifiable. By disabling flow control on the switch, The switch port will ignore...

    Connecting 2 HP 1810-24G switches

    The switch will only display "Received" pause frames on a port if the downstream device has flow control enabled and transmitted them. By disabling Flow Control on all the switches, You've functionally disabled it everywhere. Since all of the devices are connected to the switch. Like I said...

    Connecting 2 HP 1810-24G switches

    D0zer, From your stats. You are seeing a lot of Pause Frames. Which means you are running Flow Control. Now, Normally, This is helpful. And means you're getting into buffer overflow issues. And Flow Control is clearing that up. But you really shouldn't have that type of issue in your network. I...

    Connecting 2 HP 1810-24G switches

    Sounds good, Let us know how it goes. 9/10 times it's not the network. The key is reproducing the users issue and then monkeying with stuff till it goes away. Slow local machines are the issue most of the time. As you've experienced. Just have to verify that's it. Like trade out their machine...

    LACP between two switches

    LACP is a standard. So yes. It should not be manufacturer dependent. However, The configurations will be different. And you just have to figure out the right combinations of settings to make them play nice. Like Dynamic/Static LACP..etc.

    Connecting 2 HP 1810-24G switches

    Errors are a problem if they are steadily incrementing. If you reset the counters. And come back to find a few errors you have some kind of issue somewhere. Id suspect duplex mismatch or bad cable/NIC. Possibly a bad port on the switch too. See, When I get one of these issues on my core...

    Connecting 2 HP 1810-24G switches

    *The*Dark*Lord was mistaken. HP calls Port Channels "Trunks". Dell calls them LAG's..etc. Everyone has a name for it. I seriously doubt throughput is your issue here. As long as the switches are connecting together at full 1Gb/s, And the server is also connecting at 1Gb/s, You have plenty of...

    proper way to restore configs in routeros

    I'm surprised your having such a problem with it. Maybe I've just learned the ways over the years but I don't ever seem to have any issues. Maybe you can provide me a copy of the config you are trying to restore (Sensitive info redacted of course). I reload some pretty lengthy configs regularly..

    Wireless bridge advice

    5Ghz is 5Ghz, Regardless of what's emitting it. Penetration and propagation is based on the frequency. In almost any PTP case, The Loco will work better then any Omni Directional setup. Because the antenna is directional, Higher gain. Also only picks up noise in one direction (For the most part).

    Wireless bridge advice

    +1 Low power, Good LOS. Should do 80-90Mb/s if configured right.

    proper way to restore configs in routeros

    Correct, If your using a feature the current router doesn't support for any reason, Package not enabled. Feature only available in later builds..etc. It'll just throw an error and continue with the import. Now, If you open the .rsc files. In recent builds (>5.xish) they started only exporting...

    proper way to restore configs in routeros

    Exporting the backup to file creates a .rsc file. That can be opened with a text editor. /export file=backup Will create a file local on the router called backup.rsc Now. Not to be confused with the binary backup. That can be done with /system backup name=backup. Creates a file called...

    proper way to restore configs in routeros

    Sounds like something is wrong with the config, If it's rebooting to no connectivity. I'd remove any reference to MAC addresses you might have. So that it doesn't try to replace the MAC on the interface or bridge (You could run in to duplicates if it doesn't regenerate them correctly). When I...
