Re: Returning Newbie :) - Optimizing Bandwidth Config

Thanks for your response. Not sure why I have not gotten others? The 2 x CRS504's add the ability to connect the TrueNAS @ 100gb in a redundant fashion if I can use MLAG/LACP with the CRS326 switches it also makes those redundant across my network. My Firewall also supports LACP (802.3ad) as well so...

XQ+85MP01D alternatives for 100/40 with direct Fiber connect?

Are they other alternative transceivers that someone has used to connect a CRS326-24S+2Q+RM - 40G QSFP+ port to a CRS504-4XQ-IN - 100G QSFP28 port with fiber directly using a 1x12 MTP/MPO Multimode cable other than the XQ+85MP01D? The XQ+85MP01D is on the compatibility list: https://help.mikrotik.co...

MLAG/LACP Sample Config?

Anyone have a sample config for a CRS504-4XQ-IN to work with some CRS326-24S+2Q+RM?

Looked on all the posts but don't really see much out there posted?

Returning Newbie :) - Optimizing Bandwidth Config

I have lurked for some time on this forum and own a few of the Mikrotik Switches/Routers now that I have acquired over time. I would like to simplify/yet automate my network config and consolidate into an all Mikrotik configuration if possible. My current Mikrotik Inventory: 2 x CRS504-4XQ-IN 2 x CR...

Re: Beginning RouterOS 7 config- need help with enabling vlan filtering

First thanks for the quick reply. This is more of a bulletin board than a forum too many hard coded formatting fields and the quick buttons at the top do not work for me either :) As you can see by the time stamp on my message i don't really have time for formatting :) 1) Yes the interface lists are...

Just building this out but got stuck when i put on vlan filtering on the bridge. Did some searching but never found a complete answer. There is no IP on MGMT as I use a direct connect ethernet cable to the MGMT/BOOT port and connect via MAC. I could not find a similar config. I have HW offload turne...

Re: HW-accelerated routing & firewall

I think your mixing up form and function. The MT Device is a switch and you clearly stated you have an upstream firewall that takes care of firewall rules etc. so not sure what the issue is?? Its a switch so Wire Speed should be a given. Security wise are you asking what additional security functio...

Re: CRS326-24S+2Q+ RouterOS7.13 - Default Config

a) you can use default config as a starting point for your changes. And whatever you change, changes are saved permanently unless you do it while safe mode is enabled. b) depends. If you have a router (which will handle traffic between VLANs), then you shoukd keep using CRS as switch. If you don't ...

It is mentioned if i lose power that it will revert to the default con...
