Re: RB5009UPr+S+IN power problems?

I have one that powers an AP (grandstream gwn7664) and a sip phone. The AP pulls about 8-11W and the phone around 3W during normal operation. My other 5 APs(same as above) are powered by a crs318 (netpower 16).

I have not seen any reboot issues.

Almost sounds like there is an issue with RSTP unless you have logs from the CCR to show otherwise.

Having a secondary capsman controller is always a good idea (is much easier to implement if just using local forwarding).

Re: crs309 poor 10gb performance

If the 10GBit connection is saturating the link it can cause lots of retries as 10gbit worth of data won't make it through a 2.5 gbit ink. By having the switch limit it on the interface side, it can help mitigate the retries. I got around this by just moving everything to 10Gbit - problem solved :)

The best way to test is using iperf on both ends. As long as the machines on both ends are powerful enough to generate/receive 10Gbit worth of traffic, you won't hit any other bottlenecks like disk IO etc.

Re: IPv6 Prefixes [SOLVED]

The pool is just an address allocation. You already have the range with the /48, so you can't add it a second time. If you create an ipv6 dhcp server to hand out /60 prefixes to another router in your network you could, and then have it hand out /64 prefixes from the /60 it obtained from the /48 pre...

Yes, but the address range would be whatever subnet range you want inside of fd00::/8. Ideally this would be a /64. If you use vlans, I would break the ipv6 /64 allocations to match your vlans.

I suggest using ULA (fd00::/8 range) on your router and push this to clients via ND(dns config). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address You would assign a static address (/64) to the router then make are the advertise flag is set on the address.

For the OP, you are only using two ports (wan and lan) so the bridge is not really necessary. I know on a ccr1009 the routing speed and cpu doesn't really differ with or without a bridge, but it might on your device. Are you using iperf for some of these tests btw? That would be the best way to test.

Re: v7.1rc3 adds Docker (TM) compatible container support

about time someone tried to use nextdns. is it working well? sending client device names etc?
It works just like the nextdns client that I run on some raspberrypis - no problems at all.

Re: CRS317 Switch VLAN

@Zacharias: 1) If you change the PVID, on switch2, you are effectively changing the vlan it is on and so it cannot communicate with it anymore, especially with vlan-filtering and ingress-filtering enabled 2) The traffic coming from the bridge (internal) what is affected by this setting - if you are ...

Re: PLEASE MikroTik made NetInstall version for Docker....

Well, unfortunately it does not work that way. I assumed that and spent a LOT of time on it. I could only get a bridged mode of 172.17.0.0/16 to work and not a bridged mode to my local network. Perhaps there is a way, but there is almost no docs on the feature as it is new. From what I have seen, on...

Re: PLEASE MikroTik made NetInstall version for Docker....

Getting netinstall to work in a container is not difficult when using host networking. When using bridge mode - which is the only mode I have seen on the examples for ROS it won't work. The container will reside in a 172.17.0.0/16 network and when you run netinstall you have to provide an ip address...

Re: v7.1rc3 adds Docker (TM) compatible container support

Here is my config for the nextdns client for use on CHR. The nextdns client does have builds for ARM, so for those interested it would probably work there as well. Dockerfile: FROM debian:bullseye-slim RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-transport-https curl && \ curl -o /us...

Re: CRS317 Switch VLAN

For management, you can either set the pvid or create a vlan interface and assign it to the bridge. The DHCP client or IP address would be set on the bridge when using pvid but would be handled via the vlan interface otherwise.

Re: CRS317 Switch VLAN

You only have vlan 201 defined on one port. It will not get switched to any other port. You would have to tag another port or set the pvid on another port to 201. If you are trying to route between vlans, this is best done on your router, not the switch. To route with this switch you would need ros7...

Re: v7.1rc3 [development] is released!

I was trying to add a bridge to my CHR (running on vmware) and once I set auto-mac=no (with a unique MAC address) then ARP would stop working. Setting auto-mac=yes instantly reverted back to normal operation. A reboot did not resolve the issue. I have a hap ac2 running the same version with auto-mac...
