I´m attempting to running Cable Modem service using a Mikrotik to support CMTS servers requeriment. In fact, the CMTS router demands DHCP, TFTP and NTP servers and it can work like transparent bridge.
Somebody knows about it?. is this possible? The Mikrotik can support CMTS request?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Haven't used Mikrotik, and when I do a search, it shows to be a router, not a server. wouldn't recommend a bridge setup for cmts. too many issues in regards to security and added filters on modem files. I use Incognito. there are others, if you do a search on this forum, there are free versions as well
Some are using MikroTik with PPoE, avoiding DHCP server and cmts is in bridge.
Tftp server performed by MikroTik and billing by Radius.
I am confused on the issue of who is better PPoE or DHCP server?
