I want outdoor 'ax radios from Mikrotik. Look, here's the truth of it. Mikrotik is running vanilla 'ac mode. I get it, porting nv2 to 'ac is a big effort and probably not worth it. 'ax though.... it's all baked in. 'Just' making the driver work and a config interface and bob's yer unkle, Mikrotik ha...

ISIS would be a nice feature to have. I'm using eBGP as an iBGP to overcome the slowness and other oddities with OSPF and complexity of dual stack with OSPF. ISIS would be a welcome add for sure.

syadnom

Could also have some debug code enabled or the compiler may be using conservative or non-threading flags. Can you guys run cpu profile while you test? I’m not entirely sure if we should expect multi-threading for a single tunnel. Could potentially get these speeds simultaneously on 4 separate tunnel...

Interesting. Now I'll have to perform a ipsec benchmark later today. I'm curious to see the delta.

rb4011 has the Annapurna Labs 21400 which is an ipsec beast. Do AES256CBC w/ SHA256.

syadnom

Rb4011 yields me about 300Mbps through a 1Gbps pipe. How are you benchmarking that? I benchmarked using iperf. I have a Linux VM at a cloud provider functioning as the "client" to my Linux box within my home network functioning as the "server". These results were just taken and are slightly lower t...

4k monitor, have to zoom 3x to use it. Even a '+' in the menu bar would be better than menu zoom/menu zoom/menu zoom. Irritating.

Do you have a next-gen 2.4 and/or 5Ghz wireless product in the pipe? I started out mikrotik wireless, and I really love the flexibility and nstream dual even pops up in nostalgia conversations these days fairly often. tik got left behind in 'ac wireless IMO. I get that NV2 wasn't 'ported' up to AC a...

I would bet that bandwidth test is being used to generate this flow and that's affecting the throughput a bit too. Pretty impressive IMO.

By BGP signalled VXLAN, I assume you mean eVPN ??

If so, I _really_ want this feature. It would be one of my Top10 feature requests for RouterOS v7 in the medium term.

evpn, or something that looks like it, yes please.

syadnom

What's the state of VXLAN and/or what's the V7.0 target feature set?

More specifically, will we see BGP signaled VXLAN in V7.x?

Also, will VXLAN be CPU dependent or hw-offload?

syadnom

ARGGGG!! The default zoom level sucks! Why can't this setting be remembered? Win10 64bit w/ 4k monitor, tried 32 and 64 bit winbox, been like this for a few versions now. Have to manually zoom in twice to be able to read the text. Is there a solution?

syadnom

Wireguard as a stand alone tunnel type in mikrotik with a simply key generator that can be copied/pasted like you'd do setting up an EoIP tunnel is immensely useful without any added frills. If mikrotik would add that then it would have the baseline features for adding nebula or other wireguard base...

this is without a doubt an issue with that card. searching for it brings up a ton of threads about issues with it. Not an rb2011 issue.

Even with multiple ports connected, still no 'H' , status doesn't show hardware offload

syadnom

See attached image. This is default config. 'Hw Offload' is not checked on any interface. Interfaces don't show 'H' either. What am I missing here?

syadnom

I'll be using this as an access switch. No routing. Prefer winbox/romon for management. No bridge filters except vlan filtering, ideally just the bridge with all the ports added, vlans, and pvid set and tagged/untagged vlans.

In the brocher I see switching test results on RouterOS v6.45.7 at the expected speeds. So which is true and is there anything I have to do to get this performance in routeros?

syadnom

Just got the CRS318-16P-2S+OUT.. Wondering how to extract maximum performance.

just to reiterate my position a bit here. I have a substantial network of Unifi APs, approaching 3,000, hosted on just a few cloud controllers. I have some on-prem systems for ubiquiti and manage a few on-prem systems from other vendors as well. Zero of these installations are reliant on perfect upt...

syadnom

I'm sure we each have different experiences. Mine are with Cisco, Unifi, Meraki, Ruckus, Aruba. Each of these allows the AP to stay operational when communication to the controller is lost. Some stats are lost, but there is no 'outage'. If you wanted to argue about Meraki you could, but as long as t...

You can have multiple CAPsMAN device manager on the same network. When one is offline, CAPs connects to another one. while shutting down all the WiFi interfaces and bringing them back up, say 10 seconds of outage for the end user. This is the ONLY management platform I know of that doesn't have the...

syadnom

Kinda kills it as a replacement for unifi. If the path to the device manager goes down for some reason, you really don't want all the APs to go down. That doesn't mean the internet is down. Just rebooting the manager for an update shouldn't kill all the APs connected.

syadnom

I'm wanting to run capsman remotely but have the local APs keep the WiFi up even when the connection to capsman is lost. It seems that when capsman disconnects, all the APs go down as soon as they try to connect to capsman again. Any ideas on how to keep the APs online? edit: I am using Local Forwar...

syadnom

The number of devices is an important part. Space, moving parts, complexity etc. Wireguard is a very efficient tunnel, you can spin up a very large number of them without taxing a CPU all that much. Wireguard can beat hardware AES-NI in software with it's ChaCha encryption. Wireguard can handle over...

wtf guys. I asked HOW to do something. Why did this turn into an argument about why something should or shouldn't be done? Just stop. I have my answer, all is well.

I had the same issue. One card would not show up no matter what trick I tried. Got a replacement and it shows up, but occasionally it's dropping out and a reboot solves it.

concerned about the stability for this kit right now...

syadnom

Thanks, we will start including time in the next RouterOS versions.

Which version? Next stable or next beta? Can I get this by installing the 6.47beta49?

syadnom

We are seeing an empty 'time' field in the lorawan forwarded packets. This is non-standard. We should see an actually system time, or that field should be omitted. Any ideas? up-to-date firmware.

Evan just vxlan and Bridges is awesome if the crs3xxx line can bridge the vxlan to a port in hardware, but full EVPN kit would be stellar.

yeah, CRS3xx and Routeros7 with vxlan is a game changer... The prospect of this really puts some other hardware purchases in jeopardy.

syadnom

+1 for zerotier.

edgerouters do NOT have support for zerotier. Updates kill zerotier installed by hand. Need first-class support. I bet the zerotier guys would help with creating a mikrotik package for user install also.

Standard T-Mobile sims work perfectly. Something about the m2m/iot plan filters IMEIs for anything that is known to ‘tether’ apparently.

Maybe a check box in EoIP and GRE tunnels for this. The usefulness of FEC on tunnels is as follows, especial...

I'd love for the firewall to automatically open ports matching NAT entries.

If I NAT port 80 in ether1 to an on ether2, I'd like to see a firewall rule dynamically created that is in-interface-ether1, port 80.

I'd like to see 1 of 2 things....be a huge help:

1) Add the ability to select multiple protocols in NAT and Firewall rules. Specifically, UDP+TCP. Could be a multi-select box or just an entry that says UDP and TCP.

2) Protocol list, just like address list but let us put the protocols together

I would like to see an extension to RoMON to allow a remote, ip based connection.

CCR are multi-core and as a result, performance is variable depending on how data flows. A single stream, ie, one ipsec tunnel isn't going to be all that fast.

well, the VM has 4 CPUs at 2.66Ghz and 4GB RAM. Database is 52MB in the tgz, 163MB decompressed.

I have everything logging to disk and get zero entries in the log, just the standard 'router was rebooted without proper shutdown'

I think this is due to not having xentools installed. When I live migrate a CHR between two XenServer hosts, the CHR locks up and is completely non-responsive. no console, no pings, etc.

Anyone else confirm this or have a solution? CHR 6.35rc14 and a number of previous versions tested.
