CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ General info & Questions

Mon Apr 28, 2014 7:18 pm

So, as FedEX and Interprojekt promised I received my CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ today. I unpacked it and took a bunch of pictures of the outside and inside.

I was able to find it using the "MAC method" just fine and it was running RouterOS 6.10 out of the box. It updated to 6.12 just fine too. I have not run any tests on it yet but I have made several screenshots.

There is a complete album with lots of pictures here, but I will take some highlights and post them below!

As with the RB2011 before, any questions regarding the CCR1009 or things you would like tested with it (possible within a home environment). I will not be putting this CCR1009 into (home) production use for at least a month I think, so let me know what you would like to see!

Image
Included accessories, no free copper SFP as with some other CCR's

Image
A shallow depth white box

Image
I bought the 1S+ version mainly because of the LCD screen and 10G abilities

Image
Future expand-ability should be no problem! I'm betting on have FTTH within the next 2 or 3 years

Image
Back side, showing the dual-PSU and MicroSD card slot

Image
Dual-PSU rated for use all around the world using standard power plug connectors

Image
Two fans which can be seperatly controlled it seems. Also the MicroSD slot

Image
When this thing is built into a rack it will be nearly impossible to reach the MicroSD slot

Image
Opening up the box!

Image
The Dual-PSU supplies 24v. From what I have read you can actually apply a third power source using POE. Highest voltage will be used first. I did not dare open the PSU box any further. :shock:

Image
Hooked up and running. The LED's seem to be good LED's with fairly quick blinking, unlike the RB2011 for instance

Image
Selecting the "Informative SlideShow" it shows current throughput and system health. Idle usage seems to be around ~15watt according to the software. I will take a separate measurement myself later

Image
~100MB of storage and 2GB of memory

I took some interfaces screenshots with general information and of some differences I noticed versus the RB2011 for instance.

Image
I am able to find and connect to the CCR1009 just fine using the "MAC" option

Image
Voltage, Temperature and power metering, 128MB of storage (on mine), 9 cores Tile CPU

Image
100MB of actual storage, 85MB usable. Not very much now a days, but you can use the MicroSD slot to expand it if needed.

Image
Select-able CPU speeds to make it use less power or produce less heat (allows the CCR to be used in more extreme situations)

Image
Included license

Image
Interface shot, notice no "switch" selection in the menu bar

Image
These selections differ from my RB2011, more options are possible and more information is given. Also the "cable test" option is new for me. The option to include a port in a switch is missing though. It will probably be added in a future firmware!

- Do the ports connected to the switch chip behave differently then the native CPU ports?
My personal initial testing seems to indicate that they cause more CPU usage during bridging or routing then the NON-switch ports do. Also it seems that the ports condense some traffic streams (such as NAT) to a single thread. This could potentially limit certain usage scenario's. During my tests it never limited traffic below 1Gbit/sec though, it just caused (a lot) more CPU.

You can find all the screenshots over here.

Iperf was used using: "iperf -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w 128KB -t 30 -P 60" so only upload was tested.

NAT - Routing
Image
1Gbit/s NAT using all CPU ports

Image
1Gbit/sec NAT using 1 Switch and 1 CPU port

Image
1Gbit/sec NAT using all Switch ports

Bridging
Image
Bridging all CPU ports

Image
Bridging all Switch ports

Image
Bridging between 1 Switch and 1 CPU port

As you can see, it behaves quite differently depending on which combination you use. This was all tested using 6.12 with routerboard firmware 3.13. If this is the final behavior of the product, careful port planning is needed. But I have a feeling they might not yet be done integrating the switch into the "tile" platform as we have seen with the CRS, etc.

- How powerful is the CPU?
That's a hard question to answer. In testing bridging or even using NAT over 1 core gave me at least 1Gbit of throughput without problem. The core did reach 100% though with NAT. So assume I think it's safe to assume that 1 core can do about 1Gbit/sec.
note: There seems to be a difference between using direct CPU ports or Switch ports, please see above

- How much noise does it make?
When first turning it on it's completely silent. After a little while you some whining noise to start which keeps stepping up in frequency. I believe this to be the voltage to the fans that is being raised digitally. After a little bit you can hear a fan starting but it spins at quite a low RPM.

- Can the fans be controlled?
No, (presently) there is no way of controlling the fans.

Because it's voltage regulated there is "a lot" of mechanical buzzing noise combined with very faint wind/fan noise. During tests and generating load I can hear a (second?) fan spin up quickly but also spin-down quickly again. I believe the mechanical whirring/rattling noise is a by product of on the one side the fans themselves but on the other side of the voltage regulation method. The whirring/rattling noise does become less loud after having the unit on for a while. Sadly Mikrotik does not use PWM fans yet which have caused less noise, then again, this is a datacenter product and for in a datacenter the CCR is in no way loud or obtrusive.

I would not advise you putting it in your living room or something, but a few meters away or inside of a closet (provide ventilation) it should not be intrusive during normal usage. An option might be to replace the fans with models from Noctua (which will almost certainly be more quiet) but this will void warranty. (This has NOT been verified)

- Can the dual PSU be monitored?
No, the PSU module is only connected using power connectors to the mainboard. The routerboard monitors the voltage that it is receiving, but it cannot determine or monitor if 1, 2 or 3 power sources are connected. In theory the power source with the highest voltage will be used first and fail-over will happen automatically if that source fails.

- How fast are the LED's?
They are of the normal variety. Not the newer super fast blinking one's, neither the very slow uninformative RB2011 kind. I have no other way to describe them then normal, as you see on many types of network equipment.

- How much power does it use?
I have measured power using the internal wattage display and with an external wall plug meter.

Idle the internal meter shows 16w, the external meter shows around 17.1w. I believe this to be because of the conversion efficiency in the PSU which is pretty good. During my tests I have seen a maximum of 17.3w of internal usage which would round up to about 18.5w of external usage. Quite power efficient for the amount of routing power it holds, an equivalent performing x86 platform would use a lot more I believe.

Wow, Mikrotik actually listened to my feature suggestion for the IEC power cord clamps!

Hopefully this and the dual PSU feature finds its way on to the 1036 models too :)

Quick note to Quindor, you are connecting to Ether8, but the IP address is on Ether1. Unlike the RB2011, the CCR series doesn't have all ports switched, so you need to connect to Eth1 and configure the device according to your needs.

@Quindor, thank you for the very informative review and pictures.

A question regarding the fans as I'm kind of concerned by the noise from them especially the 'buzzing noise' since I plan to place it in my very silent home computer room.

Is it possible to set the fans so that they spin at a constant rate (eg. 30% or 50%) regardless of CPU load ?

Hi Normis, thank you for your comment! I understand this of course and it was only connected to Ether8 for the photo. After that I made lots of different combinations (routed, NAT, bridged, etc.) as you can see in my screenshots and test results.

I'm much more interested in the reason why the ports on the switch chip behave so much differently then the direct connected CPU ports. They seem to generate a LOT more CPU load, and are less multithreaded with NAT. I don't understand the technical reason behind this, but maybe you can clarify this? It would make a lot of difference in how and where the CCR1009 is usable.

All switched ports share 1gbps full duplex link to CPU, other than that there should be no difference

It would be a different device then. As you can see, all new CCR units have dual PSU, so if we release a new 36 core model, it will have them. We are working on it.

Ok, cool. I hoped a bigger interconnect then 1Gbps would have been used, but I can understand that restraint from a cost perspective.

About the performance difference, in the current version of RouterOS it does seem to generate a LOT (5x to 8x) more load then the CPU ports. Could you check my tests? Please let me know if you need more information! Especially NAT on the switch ports consolidates all the load to one core it would seem, while CPU ports do not show the save behavior.

wery sad
it is not datacenter product ( at max it is small office and Home-office (where noise is big problem...)

can you do some advice
how minimize noise & and what cooler can make 1009 silent ?

@Quindor Is it possible to set the fans so that they spin at a constant rate (eg. 30% or 50%) regardless of CPU load ?
I have checked and while I am able to set the fan to manual mode or auto mode, it seems to only specify which kind of fan is connected (2 wire or 3 wire) and not give me any control over it.

Also, the read-out of the fans does circulate during the "informative slideshow" and I am able to find it using the CLI. No WinBox options yet though. And even the CLI only reports on 1 of the fans, not both as the slideshow does.
[admin@MikroTik] /system health> print
fan-mode: auto
use-fan: main
active-fan: none
cpu-overtemp-check: yes
cpu-overtemp-threshold: 100C
cpu-overtemp-startup-delay: 1m
voltage: 23.8V
current: 627mA
fan-speed: 0RPM
temperature: 23C
cpu-temperature: 45C
power-consumption: 14.9W
To answer another question from @KoDAk there does not seem to be a manual speed control option and replacing the cooling will be quite hard since the case is 1U so any kind of cooling will be a heatsink with forced airflow which results in 40mm fans.

I think your best bet would be replacing both fans with Noctua's. I use Noctua in all my equipment that needs to be (virtually) silent. Not cheap, but the best fans on the market. The Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX seems to have the right dimensions and uses the same 3pin connector. I have no idea about air rate and flow though and if they will actually keep the CCR cool enough, etc. And while I think these are your best bet in silencing your CCR, your warranty will absolutely be voided. ;)

Another thing I just realized. There is no active monitoring on the PSU's. The routerboard does not know how many PSU's are actually connected (photo's only show power cables going from the PSU module to the mainboard) so there is no way to check if 1 or 2 power cables are connected and/or working.

What a shame...
There is a LED indication of PSU status?
How do I know if one of the PSUs broken?

the CCR1009 has the power to run a medium sized ISP, so, I don't agree to the above.

Good question.
In my opinion such a device should have LEDs which are indicating the status of each PSU. Additionally this information should also be available via SNMP. The latter is especially important for ISPs. I don't visit all of our sites on a daily basis to check LEDs. :D

if swapped FANs are of good quality and does not damage fan controller you are fine. So, when choosing FANs check if power usage of new ones is in the same ballpark as ones supplied from us. Also note that different fans can report RPM and starting voltage can be different so reading in RouterOS can be different from reality after the swap.

OK i mean:
I dream to see model like:
*RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN* but on CPU: TLR4-00980CG-10CE
(sfp \ 1g Ethernet ports 10-12 (PoE on 2 ports of them) \ usb \802.11b/g/n \ LCD )
and price 250-350$

and CRS mast have only CPU: TLR4-00980CG-10CE and more

Ok, I understand, but I don't think this is the right topic to discuss such a thing. The CCR1009 is a perfect device suited for a lot of tasks as it is right now. But it certainly isn't a "one size fits all" device, which is impossible anyway in my opinion.

The nice thing about routerboard's is that you can either go the x86 route and build it yourself, or, what I would advise, buy several routerboards which each excels in their specific task (routing, VPN, switching, wireless, etc.) and use a combination of boards of which often one can be used for multiple roles!

The CCR1009 cannot do wireless for instance, but it does make an excellent firewall, router and switch! Please state your desired device and it's features in a "desired hardware" topic or something like that. I'm willing to bet that if you can make a compelling business case, mikrotik/routerboard will listen and produce the device.

So now back to the (so far) excellent CCR1009! Any questions regarding it or things you might want to see or have me test?

@Quindor, thank you again for the detailed reply regarding the fan settings.

Any chance you have the specs of the fans ? Mainly Voltage and Amp (eg. 12VDC, 0.11A). I'm thinking of replacing them with quality fans either from Delta, Sanyo-Denki or NMB.

Also, from the pictures, the fans look like they are 40x40x20mm. I believe Noctua only has 40x40x10mm so the 10mm gap could be an issue.

Best regards.

Thnx's! I always value other people sharing information about new products so when I get a first, I'm happy to oblige! Karma is always appreciated. ;)

If I can find the time tommorow I will give removing the fan shroud a go. If it's indeed just a plastic shroud with the heatsink underneath it, there should be no harm in removing it and looking around. I would rather not remove it if the heatsink is attached because of thermal paste and such.

I actually should have the Noctua fan model lying around here somewhere so I can compare the size and see if they are 10mm or 20mm thick. I actually don't know and it's a good point! I will also see if there is a sticker on the fans listing their specs.

Funny you mention Detra, although they make great datacenter server fans, they are insanely loud, or at least that is how I know them. I go with Noctua when I can, otherwise papst for specialist applications. Sanyo-Denki is used by some PSU manufactorers (seasonic for instance I believe) and they also make great smooth fans!

Ok, I've taken the beast apart and made lots of photo's again. I have added them to the existing album so you should be able to find them.

Image
Shroud and fans removed

You where correct that the Noctua fans where 10mm versions and you need a 20mm version! For that reason I have included photo's of the measurements of the fans using a caliper so that it can hopefully help in selecting new ones.

Image
The fans upclose

Image
Difference in height of the fans

Image
Fans and shrouds removed

Image
Thickness of the fans used. Because of the forced airflow shroud system a tight fit will be required!

I have also made a video (And audio) recording to try and capture what kind of noise the fans actually make. I think it succeeded pretty well actually. Mind you, this video will feature the sounds exaggerated because the camera was literally 10cm away of the exhaust. In reality you would not put your ear that close, but it did enable me to capture the sounds pretty well.
At first you hear me flicking the switch of the extension cord, then some faint beeping and a louder beep which is the routerboard booting. After that you hear a digital beep sound/coil whine of voltage being applied to the fan but it does not start up yet. At that point the routerboard is booted and I do a 1Gbit/sec NAT test using the switched ports to simulate CPU load and the fans spring to life, when the test is done the fans spindown and the 'idle' noise is clearly noticeable. I do another test so you can hear the fans spin up and after that the spindown again. Hopefully this illustrates the "noise" I tried to describe before.

I am also now convinced that this is in part because of the way the fans are regulated (voltage controller with no lower level for instance). But it's mostly the fans which just make this noise, even when spinning faster. So replacing them for a better/lower mechanical noise fan should certainly help.

Looking up the fans I have made a PDF which lists their specifications: http://www.chiefly-choice.com/fans/uplo ... lyg44f.pdf . If you wish to replace the fans they most important factors are airflow, static pressure and size of course.

12v (Voltage
8.60 CFM (Airflow)
Current 0.08A (Amps)
0.96 Watt
7000 RPM (max)
28.50dBa (noise)

The problem with these fans, although their dBa seems to be ok, the rattling noise makes for an irritating pattern. If you can find a fan with a smoother noise profile, I believe the CCR1009 can be placed in a fairly quiet environment.

ps. Maybe I should not have put the camera in front of the exhaust. There is a lot of wind noise. ;) The squealing and rattling is still audible though, so this should do. Remember, the microphone was very close to capture the noise so the recording is very much exaggerated.

Also, I would like to re-state that although these fans make more noise then they maybe need to, in a datacenter they are perfectly fine. People would also complain if they added $20 to the price to buy silent fans. And as stated before, people can do that themselves if they wish. Replacing them with a same-size model is trivial.

Thank you very much.

The stock fan does sound really noisy (for a home environment at least).

I searched around on eBay and found this SanyoDenki 40x40x20mm :

Link : http://www.ebay.com/itm/251084457182

I believe it should be a good replacement for the stock fans.

Fri May 02, 2014 8:28 am

Another thing I just realized. There is no active monitoring on the PSU's. The routerboard does not know how many PSU's are actually connected (photo's only show power cables going from the PSU module to the mainboard) so there is no way to check if 1 or 2 power cables are connected and/or working.
What a shame...
There is a LED indication of PSU status?
How do I know if one of the PSUs broken?
Good question.
In my opinion such a device should have LEDs which are indicating the status of each PSU. Additionally this information should also be available via SNMP. The latter is especially important for ISPs. I don't visit all of our sites on a daily basis to check LEDs. :D
An LED indication at the very least would be useful. I mean you don't imagine you're going to have 2 PSU's fail straight away and it's useful to be able to connect the router up to independant power rails (and PoE which is cool), but some sort of monitoring integration would be excellent in any future revisions of the 1036 and 1072's *hint hint*

Thanks for the awesome post Qunidor!

+1 thank you for this excellent overview. Much appreciated. So then, it does not route over 1 gigabit over a single upstream port? What is the 10 gigabit SFP+ port for then?

(sorry I have not updated myself since the Routerboard 450g series)

- Can the dual PSU be monitored?
No, the PSU module is only connected using power connectors to the mainboard. The routerboard monitors the voltage that it is receiving, but it cannot determine or monitor if 1, 2 or 3 power sources are connected. In theory the power source with the highest voltage will be used first and fail-over will happen automatically if that source fails.
starting from RouterOS 6.13 PSU monitoring will be possible. Due to some technical difficulties this feature was delayed. Same will be true for CCR1016-12S-1S+

I think I might have explained it wrongly then. I believe it certainly can achieve much more speed then 1Gbit.

For a single SESSION it won't be able to achieve more then 1Gbps (with the current software) but if you are using multiple sessions they get neatly balanced over the available CPU's thus should deliver maximum performance all the cores are capable of, not just 1. I did notice some odd behavior using the switched ports instead of the CPU connected ports, but hopefully that will be fixed in the future. I don't have a block diagram to go on, but from what I understand from the TileGX CPU the 10Gbit port is directly CPU connected, not through the switch, so no problems there.

The CCR1009 is definitely able to transfer more then 1Gbps!
What about inter-vlan routing on the 10g port? :)
Sadly I have no 10Gbit equipment so I am unable to test that at this time. I do believe they have fixed some inter-vlan routing issues over a single port since one of the latest versions of RouterOS so it should be okay?
starting from RouterOS 6.13 PSU monitoring will be possible. Due to some technical difficulties this feature was delayed. Same will be true for CCR1016-12S-1S+
That would be awesome! I guess it's able to monitor all the voltages separately and thus determine how many PSU's are connected. Would be awesome! When the feature arrives I will test it and then change my information post!

None is available yet but it isn't too hard to puzzle together.

SFP port : Direct CPU
SFP+ port : Direct CPU
Port 1-4: Switch with 1Gbps CPU uplink to CPU (Basically a 5 port switch chip with one port internally connected)
Port 5-8: Direct CPU

Did you need to know anything else? Looking at other CCR block diagram's and how the TileGX CPU is built and what kind of buses it has can also be helpful!

We already received our unit from one of the US resellers (roc-noc.com). They are now sold out of the CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+model, but do have some of the CCR1009-8G-1S-1S.

I hoped both sfp ports are directly connected to the cpu. The Tile should support this.

From Tilera's site:
"Integrated I/O features include up to 12 ports of 1Gb Ethernet and 2 ports of 10Gb Ethernet, along with multiple PCI Express controllers that can be configured as either root complex or endpoints. An assortment of USB, RS-232, I2C and GPIO ports further consolidate the system peripherals into the TILE-Gx9 System-on-Chip (SoC)."

UPS is delivering my CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ today (Germany), can't wait to put that thing under load testing :)

I've had this CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ in use for a week now with 6.12, and so far so good :)

However my WAN uplink(15dB TX 1310\RX 1550) for Internet and IPTV is currently run throug a fiber converter (10/100/1000FD BiDI -> 10/100/1000Base-T) before it is connected to my CCR.

I have tested 2 SFP's, one mikrotik and one fiberworks, none of them are able to pass any traffic when used in the CCR(The Cisco one works in a media converter and switch. )
Mikrotik S-35LC20D is a 1.25G Single Mode, LC, T1310nm/R1550nm
Fiberworks(Cisco coded, dual rate) SFP-DR-BX40D-35 BiDi, 100 / 1000 Mbps, DDM, SM, 40km TX/RX=1310/1550nm, 20dB, LC

If SFP slot in the CCR is set to auto negotiation, then no link is established. If set to manual 100 or 1000Mbit, i get 'link ok', but no trafic is able to pass(no recieved packets). I think my fiber converter links towards my provider with 100Mbit over the fiber, and that causes the problems since I have read that mikrotik dont support 100Mbit over the SFP ports. Any thoughts about this?

The Fiberworks sfp module I have do support dual rate(100 and 1000Mbit) and is compliant to SFP MSA and SFF-8472. Will Mikrotik support 100Mbit on the SFP slot?

Best Regards
Joakim

I got my CCR-1009 4 days ago and testing some stuff, i found something strange. If i plug a 10 gig sfp+ in my CCR-1009, the device Fan slows down/almost stopped for a moment and speed up again, but not at the same speed without that sfp module. It happens on both ports. sfp and sfp+.

From information slide, Fan(s) running with 5400 rpm, with a sfp+ plugged in, it runs with 5000 rpm. I can't see this behaviour Microtiks sfp+ cable.

Anyone else with sfp has this issue? maybe a power issue? the brocade sfp+ itself is detected and shows normal ddm stats.

Atm i only have sfp+ modules around for testing.

This also happends to me, on both SFP+ and the SFP port, with all the modules I have tested.

However I'm not sure if matters or affects the CCR, can't say that I have encountered any strange behavior other that the sound itself. Maybe just a voltage drop, that gets readjusted after a while?

Hi Quindor any chance you have RB1100AHx2 to test against ? My 1100's have served me really well so far but I would always welcome some extra performance.

Hello Quindor,

the same like the thread about the RB2011 well done and very informative for me,
it would be more interesting for my self to know what different kinds of VPN methods
would be natively supported by the hardware especial by the MiCA encryption engine.

And with DPI tasks is this device slowing down hard or not?

Related to the fans inside I found this one here, perhaps you would take a short overview
if this can be interesting for you. Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro Fan PM2

@Vanta
How do I know if one of the PSUs broken?
- PRTG
- Nagios
- Incinga
- Zabbix
at max it is small office and Home-office (where noise is big problem
A little or small ventilated 19" Rack is in my eyes the best solution for becoming
a smooth work ground or a quiet office.

@KoDak
*RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN* but on CPU: TLR4-00980CG-10CE
I didn´t consider, if I own a router such as the CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ then
I want also to be free and setting up WLAN as I need or want it, and then
I will having more "fun" with the CCR1009 and a brand new RB953as an WLAN AP!!!!

@SwissWISP
In my opinion such a device should have LEDs which are indicating the status of each PSU.
I am considering with you but the LED light should be more made for home usage
or SOHO usage, but having some would be great.
In bigger instalments or networks it should be more something like support for PRTG from Paessler
and/or support for the USPs from APC (both protocols from them) then you will be able to set up
a sensor for the dual PSU and if one is failing you will be informed by mail or sms if you are using
PRTG and Kentix equipment, because the PRTG is able to use the SMS unit insite of the Kentix
monitoring system! Quindor, the PRTG is comming for free with 10 Sensors and is supporting also
USPs from APC and if you are placing a banner on your homepage, you will be able to get up to
30 Sensors for free, enough for a small home network as I think.

Hi, just got a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ setting it up, would like some help.
I'm used to RB750 and RB2011 where quickset worked fine, but quickset on CCR not so much, e.g. sets SFP port as internet.

Any advice or pointers on proper config to help me set the device for NAT internet use, specifically the firewall rules?

I found several sources of firewall config, reasonably similar, but also slightly different to make me question why and what is current:

What would a reasonable set of rules look like?


From what I gather ether1 to ether4 is on a switch, so I can config them for a switch.
Ports 5 to 8 is not on a switch, so no switch config.
I tried disabling all unused ports, including SFP and SFP+, and then noticed that ether5 and ether6 does not want to disable.

ros code

/interface set ether5,ether6 disabled=yes
failure: master-port and bandwidth settings not supported on this port
What ethernet (non-SFP) ports should be used for LAN and for WAN links?
Do you config ports 1 to 4 for LAN and switch, or if they are switch no rules, or just no rules between ports?


Lastly, is there an easier way to reset to factory defaults (after I screwed up network access) than pressing reset while powering on, impossible for one person to do that with the device in the rack?

Quick note to Quindor, you are connecting to Ether8, but the IP address is on Ether1. Unlike the RB2011, the CCR series doesn't have all ports switched, so you need to connect to Eth1 and configure the device according to your needs.
I have CCR1009 since 2 weeks but I remember from a mistake I disabled Ether1. and I connected in Ether2 without any problem. So you can configure from any port you want

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these...I just "finished" setting up my new CRS226-24G-2S+RM (I'll never really finish because I'm always playing with it) and I'm loving it. I'm interested to see just what the maximum wire-speed routing capacity of the CCS1009 is...obviously it only has 5 gigabit ports connected directly to the CPU, but with the 10Gb SFP+, I wonder if it can reach 10+ Gb/s total routing before maxing out the CPU.

I have not yet tried with routing, but NAT it seems capable of doing at least 2Gbit sustained without too much trouble. Maybe 35% CPU utilization. I do not have the equipment to test more. But if it can do NAT at those speeds I would expect it to be quite capable in routing only!

I might be wrong, but I don't believe the 10G SFP+ port supports 1.25G modules. Usually, when they do, the port will be labeled 1/10G, but the picture Quindor posted clearly only shows 10G on the SFP+ port. At this point, your best bet to get multiple SFP cages is the CCR1036-12G-4S

Hi mmigoro , MTK have noted that certain SFP+ routers are backwards compatible with SFP but requires it to be hard set on both sides to 1GB iirc.

Thanks for info.

I only have access to my side of the link, the other ends are at provider PoP's. So I guess I'm stuck with 1100AHx2...

You are paying for the link right? Just ask them to set it to the specified settings and they should?

If you're currently using 1100AHx2 with fiber-to-copper media converter, why not use that with the CCR1009 too ?

It's a waste to use an SFP+ for 1Gbps connection when it's capable of 10Gbps.

By replacing three devices with only one we figured we will have full power redundancy because two sfp's being powered by device itself (which in turn is dual-powered (even three as i understand)).

Does anybody know if SFP+ port supports also SFP modules (1,25gbps).
I would like to replace actual config (RB1100AHx2 + 2 gigabit media converters) with 1 CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ and 2 SFP modules.
Perhaps this answer from @janisk will matching best this question.

Did anyone ever tried to use the smart card slot? i wonder if that slot really works.
Anyone knows a compatible card for that slot?

starting from RouterOS 6.13 PSU monitoring will be possible. Due to some technical difficulties this feature was delayed. Same will be true for CCR1016-12S-1S+
Monitoring of PSU has already been implemented?

RouterOS 6.18

Per stats now published on http://routerboard.com/CCR1009-8G-1S-1Splus you can seemingly push close 12Gbps through it with large packets!

This must have been tested using the 10Gbit ports because even combining the 4 switch ports is 1Gbps to CPU + 4x1Gbps CPU ports = 5Gbps or 10Gbps in full-duplex. The SFP adds another 1Gbit. But the 10Gbit port is also direct CPU connected and thus adds a whopping 10Gbit or 20Gbit full-duplex!

So basically, this is a ~10Gbit* router. More realistic you should scale it in around 5Gbps* with having some filters or queues active and looking at different packet sizes. Very awesome for the price. :D

Combine the CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ with a $29 10Gbps DAC cable to a CRS226-24G-2S+RM and you create 24 x 1Gbit ports with a 10Gbit uplink! And since the CRS226-24G-2S+RM has 2 x 10Gbit ports you can continue "stacking" them! All routable and everything 'wire-speed'. :shock: :D

*It all depends on your usage pattern

yup, and Tilera own evalution board with such CPU state - it rated for up to 10Gbps traffic(depend specific details of such) http://www.tilera.com/sites/default/fil ... 12_WEB.pdf
p.s.
i was dreamed bout putting CCR1009 even to my home. really Love CCR1009 performance
but after some experience with it - skipped idea. just too loud for HOME use :( and need something 1.5x or 2x smaller, preferably(like RB2011 case or bit bigger), but thats not so big deal as noise or dust concerns.
maybe later Mikrotik - release something with MASSIVE fully-pasive radiators for such CPU, instead of Turbine cooler(like Asus-branded beefy routers with Al-made radiator weighting hugreds of gramms :P)it will really put in home use.
because for 25W power disspipation its not impossible, yet. and future versions(28nm and 22nm transistors -made)would be even colder than now. and even with mild 30% downclock to 800Mhz it still about 10x faster than Rb2011 and just fine for Home use, then, even with 1Gbps subscriptions and complex config.

I just got my first Mikrotik (CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+). Have some previous experience with a cheaper device.

First issue, the Quicket menu via WebFig doesn't show any settings, all fields are empty. When I login via winbox, the quickset shows me the current configuration.
Second issue, the quickset menu in WebFig is showing Wireless settings although the wireless package is disabled.

Have you tried to upgrade the CCR1009 to the newest version and see what that does?
Are you able to also check it inside of Winbox?
Wireless is disabled because the CCR1009 does not have Wireless?

Yes I believe that is correct! Nice drawing too, but, euhm, Mikrotik released their block diagram a while ago : http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/CCR100 ... 151432.pdf maybe you missed it. :)

They fit perfectly. No changes to the case or fans necessary. The package contains a gasket for vibration-free mounting - I didn't try to install them.

I got the new Fan's today and installed them. As je1to mentioned they fit perfectly.

The Original Chiefly Microtik running around 6000-6300 RPM and keeping the CPU at 53-54C.
The NB-BlackSilent Pro running at 4400-4600 RPM and keeping the CPU at 55-56C.

They take a little longer to spin up, after that typical squeeking noise (Fan controller?) on this CCR's, i hear a ticking noise from the new fan, looks like they need a little more power to come up. After another 20 seconds the Fan finaly spins up.

It takes around 5-10 Minutes and they run around 4400-4600 RPM. At that point, the Fan is very quite.

Hi, can I ask - I have CCR1009 as edge router with NAT.
I used Eth5 as WAN and Eth6 as LAN. But in high data load from customers - above 300Mbps, occurs high cpu usage of CCR up to 100% and traffic decerase to forexample 110Mbps and latency to internet is 100ms and higher. This is during 3-6s, then CPU goues back to 20%. And for a minute -two that repeats. Is my device bad or that config is wrong?
Thanks.

What is the meaning of green and orange ethernet LED?

I have some new remote CCR1009 to configure. I asked operator to connect eth1 to LAN and eth8 to WAN, then connected by VPN there and made basic configuration. After reboot I lost connection - router is not responding even to WinBox discovery from LAN. Operator said eth1 had just green LED on and eth8 both green and orange LEDs lighting constantly. When he disconnected eth8, router was available again from LAN. I'd like to know what happened. Maybe it was not a good idea to connect special port 8 (with POE and boot) as WAN...

Re: CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ General info & Questions

Mon Jun 01, 2015 10:40 am

Today the router was connected to WAN by port 7 - it was working, but after reboot it is not accessible again, neither from LAN / WinBox discovery. What's wrong? Is this some incompatibility with Cisco switch? I am feeling like a fool when I need to ask remote operator to disconnect cable again and again :?

EDIT: After some more testing I found out that orange LED means probably gigabit. Problem I described is obviously not related to ports 7/8 (as I thought), but to switch - if the ports 1-4 are switched, bootloader will hang sometimes. It doesn't matter if there is Cisco or TP-Link device. I have created ticket and will solve this with MT support.

at max it is small office and Home-office (where noise is big problem
the CCR1009 has the power to run a medium sized ISP, so, I don't agree to the above.
I agree 100% with Normis, these products are ISP grade products.

My main office is 500/500 fiber, feeding three bunch offices each with 100/100 fiber. Each office has a CCR1009 with 2GB. They have no issue sustaining 95~100mbps throughput, saturating the branch fiber. The main office routinely sustains 300mbps out to the offices.

I'd like to buy this router but notice 1 thing. According to block diagram, it should be:
SFP = 1gbps line
SFP+ = 10gbps line
Eth1-4 = 1gbps switched line
Eth5 = 1gbps line
Eth6 = 1gbps line
Eth7 = 1gbps line
Eth8 = 1gbps line
Total: 16gbps line
Why performance test result capped to 12gbps? Any invisible shared line?

I believe it is testing method limitation, you have only 6Gbps that you can receive or send on other than SFP+ port. There is ports from where get 4 more Gbps so that you can send out 10G via SFP+, to do so you need additional configuration, and that will impact the performance and make it useless for comparison with other products, (with smaller packets and more configuration).

MikroTik can confirm or deny this, but I believe the CCRs use the same IPSEC hardware chip which means the CCR1009 performance ought to be close to the other CCRs.

We were able to get a max of 7.5 Gbps of encrypted throughput using EoIP over IPSEC in our testing of the CCR1036s.

according ezchip website the MiCA™ acceleration engines responsible for crypto acceleration have the following theoretical performance:

tilegx9 (ccr1009) 10Gbps of crypto and 5Gbps of compression
tilegx16 (ccr1016) 20Gbps of crypto and 10Gbps of compression
tilegx36 (ccr1036) 40Gbps of crypto and 20Gbps of compression
tilegx72 (ccr1072) 40Gbps of crypto and 20Gbps of compression

off course we have to take in count cpu and memory performance and the complexity of configuration

Very helpful info! I've looked several times but never saw which chip was being used for IPSEC offload on the CCR. Just out of curiosity, where did you find the info on what chip is in the CCRs? :-)

Funny story, since purchasing the CCR1009 I've only used it as a testing router and temporary router where I needed it. Today I ported my configuration from the RB2011 I was using to my CCR1009 and am using it as my home "production" router!

I did set the CPU down to 600Mhz which has made it so that the stock fans just turn off. Performance is still miles and leagues ahead of the RB2011.

The reason for the switching the routers? I've started using a PPTP VPN tunnel to redirect some traffic to another site and anything more then 40Mbit would cause the RB2011 CPU to hit max CPU load and it became noticeable with other stuff I was running through it. With the CCR1009, even using 600Mhz, no problems whatsoever and I've seen it hit 60MBit to 80Mbit without problem!

Awesome device! :D

what cpu usage when hitting 80mbit of pptp?? in tool profile you see cores evenly charged??

See for yourself. This was downloading about 16GB of data, I saw peaks up to 110Mbit but average was more around 60MBit. I have included a bandwith graph and 2 CPU graphs. One is of each CPU individually, one of them averaged together.

Not sure where the high peak value of one of cores came from, it also seems to be before I started the downloads. Generally speaking and monitoring the resources I did not see this spike and everything was evenly distributed over the cores with one of two hitting 20% at max.

And again, this is with the CCR1009 running at 600Mhz, so only using half of the power it actually has!

Hello,

is that 1009 model capable maintain 1 Gbit as edge router with NAT ?
