What’s new in v2.13:

*) properly report SFP port speed;

I am still seeing issues on 2.13 released firmware when using direct attach SFP28 cables (both 1m long and 3m long purchased from FS.com) when connecting from my CSS610-8G-2S+IN SFP+ ports to Intel XXV710 based 25Gb NICs. I have commented about this in a thread here which also was discussing Intel 500 series NICs where a similar problem was occurring: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/css610-8g-2s-in-no-link-on-sfp-with-intel-x520/146985/1

The 2.13rc12 firmware works correctly for me with my Intel XXV710 NICs. The 2.13 released firmware does not work correctly. The switch sees the link as being up but the Intel cards see the link as being down.

…not true for the CSS610-8G-2S+IN or what am I missing on mine, running SwOSLite v2.13?

Where can we get information regarding SwOS Lite?

The information about CSS610 series switches and SwOS Lite is available here:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/SwOS/CSS610

Sorry, the changelog entry should have been more specific. It applies only to the CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+ “netPower Lite 7R”.

*) fixed management access over SFP ports;

So is this the needed fix for the GPEN21 to behave more as a “3-port switch” (all ethernet ports and SFP bridged together), like everyone had expected?

Would be great, as I could remove an additional media converter.

There is still problems with GPEN21 device. I have a standard configuration with GPEN21.

I want to use SFP1 port as Uplink and Port 2 for POE IP Camera, Port 1 is unplugged.

With this simple setup I don’t get access from SFP1 to Port 2, seems that those two ports are not actually switched.

If Port 1 are connected, then I have access to Port 2 aswell.

I want to use GPEN21 device as manageble fiber-to-copper converter with POE-out functionnality, currently it’s not work this way.

I think everyone expected this to be like a 3 port switch, I wish Mikrotik can respond to confirm if this can be changed in software or if the current behavior is limited by Hardware

I still cannot setup storm control, Ingress and Egress rate. For example when I set 10% under Forwarding and press “Apply all” my 10% is gone.

Also I have issues whit SNMP. I tried to add it to my local Zabbix server, as result CSS610 started to randomly reboot.

I am having problems with LAG and DHCP.

I have a pfsense router that I would like to connect my CS610 with 2 port LAG.

If my dhcp server is connected via LAG, I can’t get any client (including the mikrotik switch) to receive DHCP address. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Try disabling “Add Information Option” under “DHCP & PPPoE Snooping” section in System.

Same here, except a CSS610-8G-2S+IN SFP+ ports to Intel x520 card with Intel E10GSFPSR optics or FS DAC.
SwOS v2.13
Switch reports 10g link, card says no.
Forcing 1g at both ends gets link up.
Swapping switch side optics for an FS.com 1g SFP delivers a 1g auto-negotiated connection.
Swapping x520 card for a Cisco switch (with appropriate settings) auto-negotiates a seemingly working 10g connection.

SwOS v2.13rc12
Does deliver an auto-negotiated 10g connection, but then I get bitten with the no-DHCP/data bug so it’s just as useless.

Mellanox Connect-X 3 card currently in-transit for more testing.

I’ve also noted that each time the switch boots, it grabs a different IP address from my DHCP server (Ubuntu + ISC DHCP Server 4.3.5) - presumably because it’s still insisting on hanging onto & responding to the old address which my DHCP pings before assigning to be sure the addy is available.
Logs from a quick reboot this morning.

Disabling did help other clients get dhcp, but the switch itself is still not getting dhcp.

@maigonis - use bits per second for storm control settings, the “K”, “M”, “G” postfixes are supported, for example - 10M. And please report the SNMP reboot issue to support.
@mikronerd - I was not able to repeat the DHCP issue with LAG, could you report this to support?

Thanks EdPa, I reported that to support.

Another issue in 2.13, is the SFP port speed. Although the update claims that the correct speed is reported, that is not the case. I am connecting to a 2.5 gbps AP through SFP port, but link is reported as 10G. The link is reported correctly on the AP side.

I got my switch yesterday.

Unable to get 10G link working switch to switch the other switch I am using is CRS326-24G-2S+

If I disable auto-negotiation both sides and set the speed to 1G the link comes up on 1Gbps Speed.

Also There is no option to set the speed to 10Gbps after disabling auto-negotiation.

Are you sure that you are running yours on SwOS 2.13lite or SwOS2.13rc25
Because I can not confirm that behaviour…my CSS610-8G-2S+ is doing fine, linked to a CRS326 -24G-2S+ (running latest ROS long-term) via a S+RJ10 on each side, even over cat5e cable (approx 18m) and at full 10G speed.

I am running SwOS 2.13lite and on CRS326 -24G-2S+ its 6.47.9 (RouterOS long-term), but I am using this.

I haven’t been able to get my CSS610-8G-2S+IN to work yet with the SFP+ cages. I got it with a Cisco Active DAC H10GB-ACU10M (10M Active DAC cable) and a Passive DAC H10GB-ACU3M (3M Passive DAC Cable). Only the Passive DAC cable worked. So I spent the money on fs.com transceivers and multi-mode fiber. Low and behold, the mikrotik doesn’t detect them either (SFP-10GSR-85). Link page with the 3M cable shows a 10G link. SFP tab shows no information at all for SFP1 or SFP2. With the 10M DAC, and any of the fiber SFP’s, Link page shows no link (setting negotiation doesn’t do any good), and the SFP still shows no information for SFP1 or SFP2. Same result on SwOS 2.12 or 2.13. I kind of expected this thing would work with more than a 3 meter cable…

Update
After a couple of days, 1g autoneg between my x520 and the CSS610 stopped sorting out a connection. Had to force the card to 1g to get it linking again.

Mellanox Connect-X 3 card arrived. Same test platform, same OS, same fibre, same Intel optics (or the same FS.com DAC) = immediate 10g auto negotiated link.
