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: RB5009UG+S+IN SFP+ port not working with version 7.0.5 or 7.1rc6

Like mentioned in original post, did this, still the same issue.
There was/is an issue with some DACs not working on some devices. This might be your issue.

My RB5009 and CRS328 are connecting using Cisco SFPs with fibre and both manually set to 10Gbps full duplex and autonegotiation disabled.

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: v6.48 [stable] is released!

After upgrading on RB3011 ports in switch group 1 (ether1-5) started flapping every 5 minutes. Rolled back on 6.47.8 and all seems ok. So 3011 users, install with care! ;) Same here on my RB3011. My WAN port was on ether 2 and kept flapping. Moved it to ether10 and now have a stable WAN connection ...

Re: Home LAN setup & Management

If the Draytek is anything like the Huawei and Zyxel DSL modems we get her in Ireland then you can configure them to bridge your connection and then have the RB3011 handle PPPoE. On my old setup I used to do just this. Huawei Modem bridged, port 1 of the Huawei connected to Port 1 of the RB3011 and ...

Re: Why RouterOS CHR and x86 use the same distribution package?

but distributions cannot be the same: CHR should contain only virtual device drivers and VMware tools. x86 should contain a large number of real device drivers. CHRs need the same drivers as the x86 versions because not all CHR installations will use vNICs. Some will use PCI Passthrough devices to ...

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

Very interesting!

Mine has been behaving itself with all recent updates.. The nosiest things in my room now are a couple of HP Proliants. Not much I can do about them though!

Re: v7.1beta2 [development] is released!

I still consider 7.x as a pre-Beta as it just reboots you touch someting that is untouchable. You only will know it was untouchable because, after the reboot the change was lost. I went back to a stable Beta within minutes after walking into reboot walls. Yeah. I wasn't expecting too much but I fou...

Re: v7.1beta2 [development] is released!

Upgraded my RB3011 this morning to 7.1beta 2. I reset the router before upgrading and only configured it with a WAN connection to upgrade to Beta2. Upgrade seemed to go okay so I set about configuring it correctly. First issue was renaming an interface (ether1 renamed to WAN) would result in a reboo...

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...
