I'd get an HeX straight away and leave that 2011iL as switch and don't look back.

This. Or a hAP ac². Only a little more and will do 400Mbps standing on its head.

mbovenka

I'm seeking a solution for CRS switch devices with RouterOS in Bridge Mode (I think the procedure could be the same on router devices). Well, if it had been a router interface, you could have set up a netwatch for the interface IP address. But I agree, a generic script trigger on interface state ch...

mbovenka

Well, I can see where he is coming from. MGig is getting more common on new motherboards, so it's not unreasonable to want utilize it. But switch silicon that only does mGig without also doing 10G is rare as hen's teeth, if it exists at all, so switch vendors don't build switches that do. It's 10G (...

mbovenka

Then no, there is nothing in the MT lineup that will fit. They have nothing that will only do mGig but not 10G. Whether there is anything planned, your guess is as good as mine

And I don't know of anyone who does, at least not for less than the CRS312.

mbovenka

The CRS312-4C+8XG-RM looks like what you need. Or any of the others with enough SFP+ ports and the number of S+RJ10 modules needed.

mbovenka

Can somebody just confirm that I can make a vpn with hap ac2? And that it is that more powerful than a hex s?

Yes you can (it runs RouterOS after all) and yes, it is. You can check the test results for both devices at the MikroTik site.

mbovenka

I can second this. I have a S+RJ10 R1 and can't see how hot it is. I have it in an CRS317 where it works fine. During the repair of the CRS317 I moved it into a CRS328 together with 3 DACs. It got quite unreliable there, I assume due to lack of coolling. So I am not surprised that it has problems i...

mbovenka

I think I will go with the CRS354 and RB4011. I am also planning a mutiroom audio system using some Raspberry PIs which will use up about 15 ethernet ports. And I think the CRS354 will give me some spare ports. Currently only the APs are using PoE and they cuome with a PoE injector. For PoE cams I ...

mbovenka

10GBASE-T transceivers all run hot; they use a lot of power, far more than optical ones. I have an Aquantia-based 5Gbps USB adapter, and it gets hot to the touch when in use. And it's a pretty solid block of metal; I don't want to know how hot the transceiver itself gets. My S+RJ10s run from 65C to ...

Are these chips from 'Annapurna labs' going to have a Long Term Support? or Another 'TILE' Incident with No New Features / Development in Future. They are an Amazon company, and Amazon uses their stuff (de Graviton & Graviton2) in AWS. I think we're pretty safe. Not to mention everybody and their d...

mbovenka

One question for the experts though, will this router also interface @2.5 and 5 gigabit?

If you put an S+RJ10 in it, I see no reason why not. My CCR1036 did (when I used copper 10G).

mbovenka

If you need more throughput, you'll have to wait for the CCR2016 version. Assuming the throughput scales linearly, you'd have 140Gbit routing capacity @ 1518 Bytes - close enough to wirespeed. Personally, I see it as an upgrade for my current CCR1016-12S-1S+ Yep, it does pretty much kill off the CC...

mbovenka

Yes, you will. But (and that may be a big but): the CCR2004 is not a switch. It has a maximum of about 35Gbps of throughput, either routed or bridged, and that speed drops rather quickly when you ask more of it than just routing or bridging max size packets. If you want line speed throughput between...

mbovenka

Join the club. I'm not getting the idea behind this box either. It's woefully underpowered for the IO it has.

mbovenka

Copper SFP(+) modules exist. So you don't *need* a switch per se. And 1G SFPs work in SFP+ cages, if 10G is overkill.

mbovenka

No. The port extender is just that and does no local switching (as the 'bridging' numbers indicate).

mbovenka

4011s too (they don't support passive DACs)

mbovenka

Yes, they will. You can look at the SFP compatibility list to be sure.

mbovenka

Depends on what type your SFP+ is. Copper ones are often multi-rate and will do 1G. Optics not so much. Putting an SFP in your switch is probably the easiest.

mbovenka

can I use this transceiver in the switch CRS326-24S+2Q+RM ?

https://www.fs.com/products/84374.html

It's to do a long distance cross-connect.

No. That's a 100G transceiver, the CRS326 is 40G. Use this one:

https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/36172.html

mbovenka

If I remember correctly, these tests measure the speed of the payload traffic, not the speed at ethernet layer. That would explain the difference: due to the header overhead it hits the (theoretical) 35Gbps ceiling. That's not what the test results indicate; 1518 bytes is a full 1500-byte MTU Ether...

mbovenka

Could it be a mix? The only part of the packet that uses CPU power is the header, the payload is just using memory bandwidth. Maybe with the 1518 byte packets its memory is bandwidth starved, and the CPU isn't maxed out. When it get smaller packets we use more CPU - as the payload gets smaller - th...

mbovenka

The CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS looks promising. I would like to see some speed test results of GRE and EoIP over IPSec. With the current generation of CCRs (TILE) the results of using plain ipsec and tunnel over ipsec differ by a mile. Well, looks like the CCR1016-12S-1S+ is pretty much dead now. But the t...

mbovenka

no 40G port support? In the text i read about it but in technical overiew i only see 25G ? Nope, no 40G. The new CCRs hinted at in the new software (and now with the first one in datasheet) are 10/25/100G: ccr2004-1g-12s+2xs 4 Core, 1x 1G, 12x 10G SFP+, 2x 25G SFP28 ccr2016-1g-12xs-2xq 16 Core, 1x ...

mbovenka

Very cool! I'm looking forward to the 16 core version for replacing some CCR1072 BGP routers, but those numbers for the 4 core one are pretty promising. The only head scratcher is the RAM...

You can not have the Same IP in a static Lease even for a different MAC address... Just make a better network planning..

mbovenka

As the mac are different in either case, static lease only work for one interface. It is possible to use the same static lease for both interfaces? Depends on how forgiving the...

mbovenka

According to the PresteraDX 3236 product brief (https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/mar ... 014-03.pdf) it's a dual core.

mbovenka

By 'fake' I meant the price. The link you gave shows a price of $20, yes, but $63 shipping. I didn't look any further than that.

mbovenka

There is that, although Fiber Store (and others) will customize their stuff to report just about anything you want. It's not really a problem anymore. And those Finisars...yeah, they look cheap at first glance. But that's fake. Have you seen the utterly ridiculous shipping costs? These things aren't...

mbovenka

Active DACs, yes.

But they are more expensive than two SR SFP+ modules and a multimode fiber patch cord of the needed length, so why use them (unless you already have them for some reason)?

mbovenka

I mean the latter. Separate 10GBASE-SR SFP+es and an OM3 or OM4 fiber patch. The optics are a lot cheaper than copper SFP+es, and the cabling is about equal. It's the cheapest option for anything beyond passive DAC range.

mbovenka

For 10 meter distance, I would go with multimode fiber and 10GBASE-SR optics. Much cheaper than either an active DAC or 10GBASE-T (I don't know of any 10m passive DACs)

mbovenka

The Fiber Store: https://www.fs.com/de-en/c/ruggedized-fiber-cables-1080

mbovenka

No, not really. Mine is 47C at 23C input air temperature. Your input temperature is 37C (which is rather high), so my CPU would be at 61 degrees at that air temperature, assuming the rise is linear. It probably isn't, so 69 degrees doesn't surprise me. If it's stable, I wouldn't worry.

mbovenka

So can i expect 5g throughout at switch mode with just vlan config

Yes, assuming you don't do the inter-VLAN routing on it. Traffic that stays within a VLAN will be switched at wirespeed.

mbovenka

Your answer is wrong !
AOC cables do not have detacheable transmission medium involved as well...

Which is why they're in general called 'direct attach cables' as well. Not strictly correct perhaps, but it's what I have encountered in practice.

mbovenka

For higher ISP connectivity ie 1Gig fibre, it falls short, but otherwise pretty decent at that price point. Actually, it should do 1Gbps or close to it. I have used its brother from another mother (a Ubiquity EdgeRouter X-SFP, which is a hEX S hardware-wise) and it filled my 1G internet link withou...

mbovenka

Yes, but your load balancing algorithm doesn't look deeper than L3, so one IP address == one link. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Layer2_misconfiguration#LAG_interfaces_and_load_balancing You need at least L3+L4 or even balance-rr instead of 802ad (although your TCP sessions will not like the...

mbovenka

I added 2 Bonding Interfaces and add them to my bridge. (Mode 802.3ad, layer 2 and 3).

My problem is, that I am getting the same speed as before (1 Gbit connection).

Hint: Your MacBook Pro only has a single MAC & IP address.

CRS326-24G-2S+RM

For the CRS326: https://mikrotik.com/product/CRS326-24G-2SplusRM
And https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/mar ... 014-03.pdf

Can't find the info for the CSS.

mbovenka

Although the compatibility matrix claims it should work, I am doubtful that any SFP+ module (which a DAC essentially is) will work in an SFP cage such as that of your RB2011.

mbovenka

yes work with proxmox,lisesni p1 ,but high cpu on ethernet,
maybe because limit cpu j1900

Probably. The J1900 isn't exactly a speed demon.

mbovenka

There are no intermediate hops, unfortunately.

Then why is the TTL interesting at all?

mbovenka

If the driver is not in ROS, your only option it to contact support and try to persuade them enough so it's added... good luck with that. There is also small possibility beta version of ROS 7 may have the driver, you can try installing it to USB key (so you don't mess up your existing SSD) and test...

mbovenka

Yes, them running crazy hot seems to be normal. Mine go to 85C. As far as the MTU it concerned, you might want to search te forum. IIRC the same question was asked recently and the answer was that in SwitchOS jumbo frames are enabled by default.

mbovenka

Like the CCR2004 & CCR2016 discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=158149&p=777444&hil ... re#p777444 ?

mbovenka

Yes, that's true, but I misled you, sorry. I missed that you have a CCR1036-12G-2S. The S+RJ10 is a 10G SFP+ module and will not work in your SFP ports. So no, there is no way to make any of your ports run at 2.5G, sorry. You'll need to upgrade to something with a 10G SFP+ port ('S+' in MT parlance)...

mbovenka

The S+RJ10 will autonegotiate to any speed it supports in the CCR1036. I ran mine at 5G for a while before I could run fiber.

mbovenka

The S+AO0005 will work. Or two 10GBASE-SR optics and an OM3 or OM4 patchcord, which is the most flexible option.

mbovenka

No. The RB4011 doesn't support passive DACs.

mbovenka

So you can buy a 10GbE switch for $150, but for 2.5GbE you have to spend at least $500.

No. The S+RJ10 supports 2.5G & 5G. Doing it in my CRS309 right now.

mbovenka

I just used the Marvell Prestera's as an example, because I know the ASIC's are capable of it, and that Mikrotik are familiar with them due to their use in CRS3xx series.

mbovenka

Possibly Mikrotik have combined Annapurna Labs ARM core's with Marvell Prestera Switch ASIC's, where the AL chip does the initial packet pass (slow path) then the fast-path is handled by the Marvell ASIC. This would allow them to scale port counts independently of the ARM core and would also allow ...

Thanks @mbovenka. Since this technically solves my problem, would using a CCR1009 have a faster inter-VLAN and to-Internet routing since you mentioned 4011 will have 7.5Gbps?

mbovenka

You cannot have one connection routing at more than 1Gbps that way, which is the point of the thread. Actually, yes, you can. Make the 10G port in the RB4011/CCR1009 a router-on-a-stick, and you get close to 10G out of a 4011 between the CRS 10G ports (OK, when slinging full-size packets and doing ...

@LSan83, so the router will not affect the traffic of the switch of 10G (and/or above) traffic?

Looking at what you need, you might ev...

mbovenka

Looks like your flash is mounted read-only for some reason. Maybe it's failing. You could try a netinstall; if that doesn't fix it, you're probably out of luck.

mbovenka

I read you already have good LAN-switches, so the Hex S can also be used if you do not need the ports on the RB2011.
More then powerful enough as you have "low internet" speed.

The hEX S is actually faster than the RB2011.

mbovenka

I would expect them to be, MikroTik boxes aren't fussy about their optics. I use generic 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules from the FiberStore (https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/11552.html) and they work fine.

mbovenka

I am not interested in better CRS switching, but better routing. Which takes more expensive silicon.

10G FTTH? It's coming (my ISP has started a trial), and I could have used something like a beefed-up RB4011 with 2 SFP+ cages. I have a CCR1036 now, but it is both expensive and large (if you don't have a 19" rack to mount it in).

mbovenka

Try something larger. Your bandwidth-delay product should let you reach 1Gbps, and for 3ms RTT that takes a TCP window size of at least 367KB.

mbovenka

How did you test with iperf3? With 3ms RTT, 350Mbps is about par for the course with a single TCP stream with a 128KB window.

That's not a problem. The box will only draw as much as it needs, even if the PSU can deliver more. Do check de polarity of the plug at the router end, though; that must match.

The disadvantage of proxy-arp is mainly that it causes all ARP requests to reply with the router address, and so internal (to your LAN) traffic can end up being "routed" and this can load your router or reduce the performance of that traffic (e.g. when you have a fileserver and workstations exchang...

In RouterOS you can turn on reverse path filtering:

Yes, you should definitely test a poweroff. Boot RouterOS, set the MTU, set it to boot SwOS, and powercycle it. Does it still work?: You're golden. If not (and, to be honest, I'm betting it won't

If you have your network connected to ether1, that's not part of your bridge. Ether add it to the bridge (like Alain suggests) or connect your network to one of the other Ethernet ports. I have a RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN setup that way, with all ports added to the bridge (ether1-9, wlan1 & -2 and sfp-...

Is this as expected?

Yes. Traffic between hosts in the same IP subnet that are on the same switch will not leave the switch they are on, so it will never reach your hAP. If you want to force the traffic to do so, put them in different subnets, so the hAP has to get involved as a router.

So the SFP+ cage is the same as the SFP cage?

Yes, it is. You can connect the NAS to the SFP+ port with your SFPs, and you won't use any internal bandwidth between the switch chips that way, as it has its own connection to the CPU.

You can use the SFP+ port in the same bridge as the rest of the ports. That will work; I run my 4011 (the one with WiFi) that way, with all interfaces in a single bridge (I actually bought it as a 10G-capable wireless AP and don't use the gig ports at all). Just keep in mind that, as you already not...

Even @normis that is in Mikrotik Support said that this device can handle that number of users and more... You just believe you know everything and you are the best... :lol: That the box can handle the traffic I have no doubt. But 80 clients on a single AP (even when shared beween 5 & 2.4GHz bands)...

I have issue with it when i reach more than 1 gig Traffic i have got packet drops issue. Only 1 Interface is working full traffic other interfaces are going with 100 to 200Mbps traffic. That means that one (or more, if they get sorted to the same interface) of your flows tries to send more than 1Gb...

Do you think that the heX S would be a viable upgrade for a 400mbps connection? I have no experience with the HEX S, but I have used its' brother from another mother, the Ubiquity EdgeRouter X-SFP, and it will fill a gigabit pipe (in one direction at a time). The HEX S should do 400M without breaki...

I also scrolled through https://mikrotik.com/products/group/interfaces, but could not see any WDM Bidi modules.

There is https://mikrotik.com/product/S-3553LC20D. It's in the list, and supported by the RB260.

But your TP-Link SFP works in my CCR1036-8G-2S+.

Interesting. The OP is using the same cable that gave him a 1G link with his previous router, so I don't think that's it, unless there is something like a POE injector in between, as you say. But I don't think so, as I'm having much the same issue with my CCR1036-8G-2S+ and my QNAP 10G switch. The C...

I recently decided to upgrade my network to 10G (awaiting the offering of 10G internet by my provider in the near future). I got myself a CCR-1036-8G-2S+, which I'm using now on my current 1G internet. That's working fine, with an S+RJ10 going to my current 1G switch over 20M of CAT6 cable. Now I re...

It is nice as long as you do not need it to route (or route at most management network or other aux network), and as long as you do not need features like Private VLAN or VXLAN or other similar techniques that you often need where you would want to use such a switch for a little more than plain VLA...

40GE is cool, but it is considered by some as legacy and not because of the less throughput, but more about not flowing with the 25/50/100G thing. for me, seeing 4x10G and 40G on mikrotik gear is amazing as it really comes at an affordable price tag. i've never thought we get here this quick. This....

I think the RB4011iGS+RM should be able to do this.
