Mikrotik Troubleshooting Tips
Network Architecture
Tips to facilitate optimal troubleshooting:
- Plug other 'links' directly into the Mikrotik CPE device
- Wireless access points (WAPs)
- Switches
- Bridges to other buildings or networks
- Keep a diagram showing which port goes where
- Name the ports appropriately
Find Bandwidth Hogs
- Use the
Interfaceslist to see the big picture- Is their upstream Internet or Metro Ethernet connection saturated?
- Is a bridge to another building hogging the bandwidth?
- Is their wireless access point (WAP) hogging the bandwidth?
- Many problems are due to multimedia streaming with wireless devices
- Use the Mikrotik
IP Accountingfeature to see which IP addresses are involved - Check the DHCP server
Leasesto look for host name clues
In a bridged environment, such as Metro Ethernet, the CPE device (bridge) may not see the traffic in
IP Accounting. Try using the upstream router IP Accounting feature and filter by the client IP address range.
