MYSQL Redundancy by using Master-Master Replication

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnCVMnr7FQ

In this Guide, I will show you howto create replica of your radius server so that in case of any server failure , you can instantly switch to backup server with the latest data available. In this model we will use MYSQL master-master concept in which whatever changes / records you make on any server, it will replicate to other as well. Also in mikrotik we can use primary and secondary radius server entries OR we can make a script to detect both radius status and act accordingly, all depend on your network requirements & infrastructure.

Scenario:

In this example we have FREERADIUS base billing system which uses freeradius and MYSQL DB as its backend engine,  installed (with basic level of installation) on two servers. Now we want to create redundancy by replicating radius DB to each other so that in case of one server failure, second server should come to rescue.

Requirements:

• I assume that you have working mysql installed on both PC and tested its working by creating users in it.

Components Used:

• SERVER1 NAME = MASTER-RADIUS
  OS = Ubuntu
  IP = 101.11.11.241
• SERVER2 NAME = REPLICA-RADIUS
  OS = Ubuntu
  IP = 101.11.11.245

 

Let’s Start

Step – 1

Server1 = ‘master-radius’ Configuration

Open mysql config file

for Ubuntu 12.4 use following location

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

for Ubuntu 16.4 use following location

nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

and add following under [mysqld] section

log-bin=mysql-bin
#(uncomment below line if you want only this DB replication)
#binlog-do-db=radius
server-id=1
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
bind-address = 0.0.0.0  # Search this and change it manualy , donot copypaste 

SAVE and EXIT.

Now restart mysql service so changes can take effect.

service mysql restart

Now we need to create a user that will be used by mysql for replicating data between our two radius (or mysql) servers. As an example I am using id “zaib”. Replace “password” with the password you wish to use for replication.

create user 'zaib'@'%' identified by 'password';
grant replication slave on *.* to 'zaib'@'%'; 

Now we need to get some information about the current MySQL instance which we will later provide to server2 (replica).

The following command will output a few pieces of important information, which we will need to make note of:

show master status;

The output will look similar to the following, and will have two pieces of critical information: [file and position note it down)

+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| File             | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mysql-bin.000001 |      336 | radius       |                  |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

We need to make a note of the above file name and position which will be used in the later step.

Now Lock tables to so that we can dump our db/tables

We can do that by typing the following:

FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;

Now dumpt the DB/Tables

mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases --master-data > dbdump.sql

Now UNLOCK the tables by

UNLOCK TABLES;

Upload this DBDUMP.SQL to secondary replica server, you can use scp command as well.

 

---

Step – 2

Server2 = ‘replica-radius’ Configuration

Open mysql config file

for Ubuntu 12.4 use following location

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

for Ubuntu 16.4 use following location

nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

and add following under [mysqld] section

log-bin=mysql-bin
#(uncomment this if you want only this DB replication)
#binlog-do-db=radius
server-id=2
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
bind-address = 0.0.0.0  # Search this and change it manualy , donot copypaste 

Make sure server-id is different then primary server

SAVE and EXIT.

Now restart mysql service so changes can take effect.

service mysql restart

Here we are going to create the user which will be responsible for the replication. Replace “password” with the password you wish to use.

create user 'zaib'@'%' identified by 'password';
grant replication slave on *.* to 'zaib'@'%'; 

IMPORT THE DB

mysql -u root -p < dbdump.sql

The next step involves taking the information that we took a note of earlier and applying it to our mysql instance. This will allow replication to begin. The following should be typed at the mysql shell:

stop slave;
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST = '101.11.11.241', MASTER_USER = 'zaib', MASTER_PASSWORD = 'password', MASTER_LOG_FILE = 'mysql-bin.000001', MASTER_LOG_POS = 336;
start slave; 

Your values for MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS may differ than those above. You should copy the values that “SHOW MASTER STATUS” returns on Server-1.

The last thing we have to do before we complete the mysql master-master replication is to lock tables and make note of the master log file and position to use to replicate in the other direction (from Server 2 to Server 1).

We can do that by typing the following:

SHOW MASTER STATUS; 

The output will look similar to the following:

+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| File             | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mysql-bin.000002 |      125 | radius       |                  |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Take note of the file and position, as we will have to enter this entry on server 1, to complete the two-way replication.

Step – 3

Completing Replication on Server1 [Master-radius]

Back on Server 1, we need to finish configuring replication on the command line.

Running this command will replicate all data from Server 2.

stop slave;
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST = '101.11.11.245', MASTER_USER = 'zaib', MASTER_PASSWORD = 'password', MASTER_LOG_FILE = 'mysql-bin.000002', MASTER_LOG_POS = 125;
start slave; 

Keep in mind that your values may differ from those above. Please also replace the value of MASTER_PASSWORD with the password you created when setting up the replication user.

The output will look similar to the following:

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

---

 

Now test the status by issuing command to mysql cli

show slave status\G

and you should see something similar to this. [don’t get confused with different numbers of log file file and position number, as this snap was taken in another lab]

---

 

TEST

The last thing to do is to test that replication is working on both servers.

Open server1 radius panel, and try to create new user, after creation, it will be automatically replicated to server2 : )

As shown in the images below …

At a moment no users have been created.

 

Now create test user

 

After creation, Goto Server2 (Replica) and check Users List, and you will find the user replicated.

and when you will create any user , it will replicate back to server1.

---

Adding both Radius Server entries in Mikrotik

Add both radius server

and at radius manager, add the NAS (mikrotik)

Don’t forget to rebuild clients.conf (from the menu) at secondary radius as well.

Now test by connecting any client , once successful, disconnect the primary radius, and try to connect the client again, once mikrotik will be unable to find primary entry, it will auto contact secondary server. as showed in the images below …

I will add few more details later….

---

Tips for Radius Manager

Tip: Make sure you have same credentials for both servers, that includes, root, mysql users, and in config files as well.

Example:

Change MYSQL Root ID password (old password to new)

mysql -u root -pROOTPASSWORD
use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD('MYNEWPASSWORD') where User='root';
flush privileges;

CHANGE RADIUS USER PASSWORD in mysql;

use mysql;
SET PASSWORD FOR 'radius'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MYNEWPASSWORD');

=====================================

Then change password in following files for user ‘radius’

/etc/radiusmanager.cfg
/var/www/radiusmanager/config/system_cfg.php
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sql.conf

---

TIP: Remove MYSQL Replication

# Stop Mysql Service
service mysql stop
# Remove mysql replication entries
cd /var/lib/mysql
rm -f master.info relay-*`
# Start Mysql Service
service mysql start

To check MYSQL table Health and Auto Repair

show warnings;
SHOW TABLE STATUS;
mysqlcheck -uroot -pSQLROOTPASS --all-databases --auto-repair

---

DMA Note:

Please note that you may need to rebuild clients.conf from DMA web panel in order to initialize NAS list.

Freeradius/mysql Account Expiry SMS notification Script using ‘itelservices.net’ bulk SMS Gateway

This post is somewhat very specific to PK base bulk sms provider API. Its a simple bash script made on someone’s request [who had a custom billing system based on freeeradius/mysql] and it can be used to send account expiry notifications to users using freeradius/mysql account query  , BUT specifically using HTTP base SMS Gateway services from http://itelservices.net/

However this specific SMS gateway was a bit different as compared to our KANNEL base gw.

1. It requires ‘Unique transaction ID’ for each sms, therefore i used current time/seconds with username as Transaction ID
2. The number should be in international format like 923333021909 and the problem was that the operator had simple format for mobile numbers like 03333021909 is all accounts, and it was not acceptable from the API provider, therefore as a workaround, I used awk/sed tools to remove 0 and then in curl added 92 before every number.

At the moment there are two scripts

1- SMS for account expiry notification
2- SMS for new account creation with user details if possible

You must modify the script as required. This is just a simple way to achieve this task, however there are more sophisticated method like using php or other programing language, I just prefer to select the BASH route !

 

Posting it for   H U M A N  S   as I love them, They’re Amazing ! 🙂

Sending Email on Router Reboot with Logs and LASTSEEN time !

---

 

Task:

To send email when the router reboots because of any power or other issue, the email should include the time of router failure and its restore time in the email subject, [for quick viewing] . Also it should include last few logs entries in the email body for diagnostic purposes.

Disclaimer: Main script was taken from Mikrotik WIKI
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Send_email_about_reboot , and later I modified it to meet local requirement. Also I created second script which keep updates of time in a file to track the time when router got lost,

Following are two scripts which does the following

Script#1 – Update-last-seen-time-on-each-minute
This script will update date+time in a local file called lastseen.txt so that even if a router reboot, the time preserves in this file to print the lastseen time in email or where ever required.

Script#2 – email-on-reboot
This script will run after router reboot/restarts. It will first disable the script-1 schedule to prevent overwritten of lastseen time in the file lastseen.txt, then it will fetch the data from this file and will also get current time and send email with last 60 Seconds logs in the email body.

Script#2 is taken from WIKI and modified it as per my requirement. (to display Last seen time as well in the email so that I don’t have to go through whole logs in search of —–)

Exported Version of both scripts. for copy/pasting, donot go blindly, read them before deploying

Send Expiry Alert via SMS/Email For Freeradius/Mysql Users

As some one asked me on howto send sms (or possibly email) to users whose expiry is after XX days in freeradius/mysql base billing system, Here is a simple script to do the task. It’s not very elegant way to achieve the task but since I donot have any programming level experience so this is how achieve it some Desi style coding 🙂 & the good part is , It’s doing the job and you can at least get some ideas from the code.

So basically this post is just another Sharing Idea’s Series …

---

 

Requirements:

• You must have working billing system in freeradius/mysql with the appropriate tables like radius, username, expiration etc.

---

 

In this example I used Radius Manager base system which also uses FREERADIUS/MYSQL as its backend DB. Radius Manager already have expiry alerts notification in its core configurable via web panel, but its a 3rd party paid application. So I am showing you a way howto achieve the same with your own billing system.

So basically what I did was to simply ran mysql query which pulled user name and mobile number from the table [mobile number column must be be created with appropriate values] and exported it to local file. Then I applied a simple ‘Loop‘ formula to go through this file and then applied appropriate action in the end like send SMS via mobile / usb modem attached , use any external http Gateway , or send EMAIL.

You can use this logic to achieve the results on about any other billing system (which is open source or readable) OR any other purposes as well.

Just Go through this script ,its very simple, modify it as per your network and setup. If you manage to add some enhancements, do post here for the sake of every one. :~)

I will add some more details later.

Happy Alerting !

OUTPUT:

[Just echoing in this example]

Run the script manually for test purposes and you should then be able to see something like if you already have proper billing configured with enough data. Below example is a working radius system showing accounts with mobile numbers which will expire in next 3 days. We can show more info if required.

 

---

 

Schedule to run it DAILY

You can schedule it to run on daily basis so it can check for accounts expiring on next xx days and take appropriate action as required.

Example of scheduled job by ‘crontab‘ command:

crontab -l

@daily /temp/sms.sh

With above code, this script will run daily at 00:00 hours [in night] daily. Then it will search for accounts whose account will expire after 3 days, then it will take defined action.

Jz!

 

Gnuplot = The DADA ABBU (Grandfather) of Graphing done via CLI

---

Whatis Gnuplot:

As defined the Wikipedia. …

Gnuplot is a command-line program that can generate two- and three-dimensional plots of functions, data, and data fits. It is frequently used for publication-quality graphics as well as education. The program runs on all major computers and operating systems (GNU/Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and others).

I remember when I got in love with the MRTG and I spent many nights in mastering this giant. MRTG is overall a very good graphing too graph about any device but it usually works with snmp (and in some cases with shell scripts too). But what if I have data in a file with simple human readable format and I want to plot different columns in it? MRTG will not help in such cases, Gnuplot will come to rescue 🙂

I used Gnuplot to graph user download for the current month, In this example user data is taken from MYSQL radius DB and then graphed/plotted with Gnuplot.

As always being a duffer , dumber and incompetent, It took me 2-3 Days of continuous efforts to make it as a single script for bundled package.

---

 

Requirements for this script:

[You can modify it as per your requirements very easily, I just made it as per my own requirements : D ]

1. Linux / UBUNTU / CENTOS
2. MySQL with Radius DB
3. Gnuplot Application

---

What this script will do ?

This script will take accounting data for the specified users for the current month by auto detecting the month/year.The file will look something like following

2015-03-01   1688961371   937706875
2015-03-02   2989190965   2974464964
2015-03-04   534479492   31747041
2015-03-05   809968366   170112567
2015-03-06   2189812711   1555484772

First column is DATE
Second column is user DOWNLOADED data in bytes
Third column is user UPLOADED data in bytes
Then it will save this accounting data in /tmp/USERNAME.TXT  (Username is what supplied by the user)
Then gnuplot will start its magic and will graph the data based on the supplied data.

---

 

To install Gnuplot on Ubuntu , issue following command

apt-get install -y gnuplot

Now create bash script as follows

mkdir /temp
touch /temp/usergraph.sh
nano /temp/usergraph.sh

and paste following. Make sure to change things according to your network

Running the SCRIPT

Now execute the script by

/temp/usergraph.sh USERNAME 2016 01

(Like usergraph.sh zaib 2016 01) this will create graph on the fly for use ‘zaib’ for January, 2016 month

If everything goes well and you dont’ see any errors after executing this script, then you can view the output by

http://yourip/username.jpg

Note: the jpg file will be placed in /var/www folder under the username format, for ubuntu.

That’s it …

I showed the very basic usage of Gnuplot. Very Very Basic Level of it. This is only what I have learned so far in few days. But Gnuplot can do things beyond your imagination. Look at this gallery.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Gnuplot_diagrams

Gnuplot is a very good and customizable tool which is used all over the world to create simple OR very complex graphs in a go. Above all good part is that it can take data from local files and all can be done via scripting or terminal.

You should give it a try 🙂

Mikrotik with Cisco VLAN made easy

---

~!~ Mikrotik with Cisco VLAN made easy ~!~
 ~!~ For Beginners ~!~

---

Virtual LANs (VLANs) are a solution to allow you to separate users into individual network segments for security and other reasons. VLAN membership can be configured through software instead of physically relocating devices or connections. VLANs allow you to break up devices on your network regardless of their location.

The main advantage of VLAN are

• Broadcast Control
• Security / Client Isolation
• DMZ
• Controlled Network Management
• Costing

It is very useful for any network including large/small offices, ISP’s, Cable.Internet services providers etc. The main problem of any large network is broadcast and specially for network operators when any single user swap his wan router LAN cable to wan cable thus broadcast his router DHCP to operator network, or single user effected with virus/trojans broadcast to whole network. VLAN can help you in many situations like these or others.

---

 

TASK:

To avoid broadcasting/flooding and above all for better better management +security and monitoring, we want to break the network in smaller segments.

Scenario:

Consider the following scenario

We have Mikrotik Router which is acting as a DHCP and PPPoE Server as well. and we want to isolate the different network areas by breaking them in smaller segments. Each area will get different IP series from the mikrotik dhcp server.

In this example following ports are used for

• Mikrotik = Port 1 [as TRUNK port]
• Dealer-1 = Port 2
• Dealer-2 = Port 3
• Dealer-3 = Port 4

Hardware Used in this Guide:

1. Mikrotik RB2011
2. Cisco 3750-E Series
3. Two Laptops for testing

As showed in the image below …

---

Some screenshots for the reference purpose …

 

Done. Now we have to create VLANs at CISCO Switch…

---

CISCO VLAN CONFIGURATION

I assume that you have Cisco switch with any IP address for the management purposes.

Telnet to the switch

telnet 192.168.0.1

# Enter your Cisco switch password
User Access Verification
Password: xxxxxx

# Switch to change mode
enable
Password: xxxxxxxxx

# Enter in Config mode
config t

# Select Port number which will be connected with the Mikrotik and change encapsulation method

interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan all
switchport nonegotiate

#Create VLAN id and name for dealers/areas
vlan 10
name DEALER-1
vlan 20
name DEALER-2
vlan 30
name DEALER-3
exit

# Now Select Dealer1 interface , like port 2 and assign it with the vlan id

interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/2
# OR RANGE like interface range gigabitEthernet 1/0/1-4 (Port Range 1 to 4)
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10

interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/3
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 20

interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/4
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 30

exit
exit

# SAVE the configuration you just made above
wr

Some screenshots for reference…

 

 

Done!

 

---

TEST!

Now connect your PC with the port 2 and port3 , 4

You will get different IP in each port.
As showed in the image below from mikrotik dhcp server’s

 

Test From Dealer-1 System

Dealer-1 have receive 192.168.10.x series ip, exactly the one we configured in mikrotik.

Now try to ping any dealer-2 series and to the internet as well. You will see that you will be able to ping the internet and mikrotik LAN ip, but not with dealer-2 subnet or likewise.

NOTE: For the client isolation / to block communication between all VLAN’s , you must create FILTER rule as explained in TIP’s n TRICK section below …

---

TIP’S n TRICKS

 

1- Block communication between all or specific VLAN Subnet

It is usually required to block all communication between specific or all VLAN subnets for security or other reasons. By default mikrotik will allow communications between all vlan. You can block them by creating FILTER rules. Example is we want that users of all vlans can access internet via WAN interface but should not be able to communicate with any other VLAN subnet. use following as an example

Note: there are many other ways to achieve this either at switch level or mikrotik, i am showing just an example only here.

/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward comment="Accept traffic from VLAN subnets to WAN" out-interface=WAN

add action=reject chain=forward comment="Block Communication between all vlan subnets" reject-with=icmp-net-prohibited src-address=\
192.168.0.1-192.168.255.255

# Masquerade rule to allow internet , wan link interface
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=WAN
