[Maylyn's Review ~ Networking] Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite

[franstam]

ok, leave system name server empty.
configure dhcp dns to the router's ip
enable dns forwarding.

any idea how to see what was the dns server ip addresses that were assigned by the ISP?
can't figure out where

CLI command: show dhcp client leases interface ethX

sample output:

interface  : eth2
ip address : .....     [Active]
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
domain name: .........     [overridden by domain-name set using CLI]
router     : ........
name server: x.x.x.x y.y.y.y <---HERE
dhcp server: ..........
lease time : 86400

Need to tap on the knowledge here.

whats the performance hit on ERL if i turn on PBR to route certain IPs towards a VPN tunnel. what kind of nat throughput can I expect?

Considering if I can get away with getting a budget ERL vs a CCR 1009.

I'm using a RB 2011 now. Love it, but it runs out of steam at 300+mbps.

will be moving from purple to black soon.

afaik if anything disables h/w acceleration, speed will be around 200-220mbps, do correct me if wrong

 

[cyberet]

if i use load balancing failover wizard, h/w acceleration is disabled?
still at 160+mbps

ip offload module loaded
ipv4 forwarding enabled
ipsec offload module loaded

i guess load balancing disables h/w acceleration as well.
after i use the wan+2lan2 without bridging, it went beyond the 170mbps limit

ok.. figured out that load balacing is related to pbr which doesn't have h/w acceleration

Sigh.. transferred the config from MR to VQ on my ERL, but somehow I can't vpn back to my synology VPN server now

diff is thats WAN is dhcp instead of static, and firmware is 1.6 up from 1.5

Just need to change the VPN configuration to suit the WAN DHCP-based static ip and it will work just fine. I have 3 site-to-site tunnels running to sites on VQ connections.

 

[cyberet]

gave up last night.
try again over the weekend
IKE is getting hits on the stats for wan in, and DNAT, but not the rest

 

[cyberet]

ah, figured it out, DNAT left out destionation port. its working now

Hi experienced users,
I am new to ER-POE, and had done setup using WAN-2LAN2 wizard. The WAN connected to existing Smart Switch SG-200 for VLAN from Singtel. Direct connection to switch showing 200Mbps speed. However, when connected through ER-POE, the speed only up to 140Mbps.

Is there anything missing in my setup?

U enabled Bridging?

U enabled Bridging?

I can bridge, below is my config:

It might be bridging that causes the issue. U might want to test resetting it and set up without bridging.

Yes, looks like the bridging causing the slowness. After resetting without bridging showing full speed.
Now, is there anyway to setup eth2,eth3, eth4 as switch without bridging?

Thank you Cyberboy

 

[simic]

Bridging = switching at Layer 2.

This guy is a hardware acclerated router. To get full speed, u should setup different subnets n route between the ports.

Once u do L2 bridiging, hw acceleration is turned off, hence the large speed dropoff

Yes, that's correct.
My final configuration is
ONT <--> Switch <--> ERPOE-5 <--> Switch

With the same switch to do VLAN Untagging, Trunking, and general switching.

The ports eth2, eth3 and eth4 on ER-POE are switched. Go to the Switch0 interface and set the ports you want to be member of that interface.

Yes, that's good idea. Now I have 3 usable for ports instead of 1. I set the switch0 as LAN, and distable eth1.

Thank you.

 

[grynove]

or u can create another subnet for eth1.

I'm tried to reset my Edgerouter Lite to factory via the hardware button.
I've set static IP to 192.168.1.100, and tried connecting to 192.168.1.1 but it's always destination unreachable.
Anyone know any other methods I can try?

 

[Winston7222]

make sure your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, else try the hard reset method..
