Re: MikroTik CHR P1 Licence

Hi - you should be fine to add as many CPUs as you want.

The System ID is generated on first boot and doesn't change for the lifetime of the VM unless you do it manually.

Even if it did change you can always assign the license from the Mikrotik customer portal to the new ID.

Re: v7.1rc5 [development] is released!

Upgraded the following with no issues:
  • Chateau LTE12
    RB3011
    Hex 750Gr3
    CRS-125-24G-1S
    CRS-125-24G-1S-2HnD

No major issues on any of the devices. Modem Firmware on the Chateau through winbox worked perfectly.

Small issues - 750Gr3 still shows voltage incorrect.

Re: EOIP DDNS & CGNAT

EoIP needs a static IP address for both end points. CGNAT rules that out in your case.

Your best option is to create a VPN link to the DDNS router.

Or if you're running 7.1RC2 and your devices are ARM devices then you could try Zerotier.

Re: CRS328-24P-4S+RM installation of fan3 and fan4

Hey - Could I ask how you accessed those graphs ? Is it within the RouterOS Software or some other 3rd party?
Sure - I'm using LibreNMS. SNMP monitoring of RouterOS.

Unfortunately if you're using SwOS then SNMP is quite a bit neutered.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: full cone NAT

Then you as a customer, together with other customers, should say "no" and demand IPv6, or you'll go elsewhere. The tricky part is how to increase your numbers above around five people. And then there's the tough decision, if you're really prepared to live without internet, when ISP also ...

Re: CHR + KVM problem - low upload.

What make are your physical NICs? There are severe issues with some Intel NICs with some Linux Kernels. Specifically Intel i218/i219 using the e1000 driver in kernels from 4.15 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b10effb92e272051dd1ec0d7be56bf9ca85ab927 you can turn off TCP segmentation offload...

Re: CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS - Throughput Question

I don't know many routers that can route at the speed of all ports combined, so this CCR2004 is no exception. In most situations this is not a problem. Indeed but if there's intense traffic across 4 interfaces could completely choke up the router. Tile CCRs while only 1Gb can router wirespeed acros...

Re: CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS vs CRS317-1G-16S+RM

CCR is a router without a switch chip so switching performance would be terrible as it's not designed to be a switch. CRS is a switch and has terrible routing performance as the CPU, while fine for managing a switch is not really suited for routing. I believe the hardware acceleration you're referri...

CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS - Throughput Question

Looking at the CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS. So it has 12 SFP+ ports and 2 25G SFP 28 ports. However looking at the block diagram there's a PIPE connecting to the CPU with 2 x 25G for a total of 50G throughput. Does this mean it has a maximum throughput of 50Gb? The test results show routing with fastpath at ...

Re: new free tier CHR instances refuse login

Free tier does not need any kind of activation or renewal. Trial mode of any paid tier lasts for 60 days. And even after that it will still let you log in. So your problem has nothing to do with CHR licensing. You are wrong. 60 day trial requires an account on Mikrotik.com and you need to login to ...

Re: new free tier CHR instances refuse login

I believe you have to activate them. Once they evaluation period lapses they enter the "free tier"

You won't be able to update them though.

However you should still be able to access them sa I believe if they haven't been activated they revert to a 1Mb limit on the interfaces.

Re: > 10 gigabit

Your license is probably restricting you.

While with a P10 license will restrict you to 10Gb per interface this probably includes your LAG interface too.

Re: CHR Hypervisor recommenadtion please (Hyper V?)

It's a matter of preference. I think Hyper-V is crap and that VMware is the best hypervisor for CHR. In all seriousness, there are pros and cons of each. If you already have Hyper-V in your environment then use that. If you have a VMware environment - use that. Keep in mind BGP is single threaded so...
