The Idea behind this is so we can get some form of quality control on our node setups. From wind to routerOS configuration. There are a lot of variances on how we do things, and hopefully we can come to a obvious and logical setup. It must also be functional.
Contents
Software Section
DNS Names
- Routerboards must be named in sequence as rb, rb2, rb3, ect
- This means that if you have one routerboard it would be called rb.node.ctwug.za.net, if you have another it would be called rb2.node.ctwug.za.net
- OSPF link names must be in the format of 'link-to-remotenodename.localnodename.ctwug.za.net'
- Network and Broadcast IPs must be filled in aswell. For example network.thefox.ctwug.za.net and broadcast.thefox.ctwug.za.net
- All IPS should be given a DNS name, those without hosts on, should be called unusedX where the X is an increasing number starting with 1.
RouterOS Config
General Setup
- "System identity" should follow the dns name convention NOTICE: This convention is under discussion at : [1]
- example1: rb.cervantes
- example2: rb14.tfyre
- NTP Setup:
- Set your primary NTP server as 172.18.1.1 by doing the following in a winbox terminal: "system ntp client set primary-ntp=172.18.1.1"
Interfaces
- Comments should be in the form of a;b;c
Where A is the interface, bb or client, B is the speed the queue should be, ex: 128, 512, 1024, and C is the rest of the comment.
- example1: bb;1024;TheFox-Mammon-link
- example2: client;512;Mammon-Sector
This is critical to make game time work correctly.
SSID
Format: http://ctwug.za.net/RB+NR
RB: will be replaces with the HighSite or RB name.
NR: will start at 1 and just increase by 1 for every interface
examples:
http://ctwug.za.net/jupiter4
http://ctwug.za.net/mars9
Radio Name
Point To Point Links
Format: local rb - remote rb
Max length: 16 characters
examples:
jupiter-neptune
saturn-jupiter
Broadcast Interface
Format: Area-Type-Direction
Area: Shorten to 11 characters max.
Direction: Use n,ne,e,se,s,sw,w or nw.
Type: s, p, g, o or y (Sector, Panel, Grid, Omni*, Yagi)
Note: Do not add the router name to the radio name, as it is already present in the SSID.
Max length: 16 characters
examples:
parow-s-nw - Means: Sector at Mars covering Parow, pointing North West
parow-s-ne - Means: Sector at Mars covering Parow, pointing North East
ssuburbs-s-s - Means: Sector at Mars covering southern suburbs, pointing South
kuilsriver-s-se - Means: Sector at Saturn covering Kuils River, pointing South East
rondebosch-s-ne - Means: Sector at Uranus covering Rondebosch, pointing North East
- Please refrain from using Omnidirectional antennas (5Ghz), unless you want to use it to ONLY provide coverage for your house and/or immediate neighbors. We recommend using 2.4Ghz for this purpose.
Client Interface
Format: nick
Max length: 16 characters
examples:
TFyre
VaSH
