Simple policy routing

So you have 2 x gateways, 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.20.1, and you want traffic sourced from your voip server (10.10.10.50) to go out the 20.1 gateway, and the rest of the traffic to go out the 10.1 gateway. Here is how you would achieve that.

Voltage monitoring

On certain boards, such as mipsbe (433AH etc) you can use The Dude to monitor the voltage. You will need to get the snmp oid for the voltage.. /system health print oid

MPLS / VPLS

Before running MPLS on your production network, make sure you have an in-depth understanding of MPLS and VPLS. It makes for a hard time troubleshooting when things screw up if you don't. For an overview of how and why MPLS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching MPLS can run alongside your existing IGP such as OSPF which will still determine the best path. Set up your LDP neighbors with targeted addresses, using a loopback address. For a basic MPLS implementation, the following configuration is needed on every Mikrotik router. The routers need to be on 4.xx, preferably the latest (4.16 at the time of writing).
