HEX Lite

Sat Oct 22, 2016 8:46 pm

Hi,

i just wanna to ask about one issue with RB mentioned in topic name. I have couple of RB's in my lab, and HexLite is one of them. I have enabled bonding( balance rr) between RB750Gv1 and HexLite. There is no any heavy config. Only IP's on 3 interfaces ( eth1,5 and bonding1 - eth 2,3 are slaves). After i run BWtest(client) from 750G to Hex(BWTest server) and traffic reaches ~170Mbps, Hex freezes, and i loose connectivity from winbox or all menus are empty, while 750G is completely ok ( CPU goes up to 69%). As soon as i stop a BWtest, Hex recovers. During test, right before disconnect, CPU on hex was 90-93%. Both are running latest RC (6.38rc15) with up to date firmwares ( 3.24 and 3.33). Is it possible hardware issue or HexLite is simply so weak?

Don't use btest on the devices you want to test.

A btest kills the CPU, either run UDP (less CPU intensive) or stick a PC on either side and run iperf.

I didn't know why you hadn't read the manual first.
