so it seems like the CCR reboots before the CPU gets hot enough for any real damage ((above 100C) however the CCR is a big chip having many many cores..

Hi i see no one has replied and ive planned this before. First if you plan to have any sort of phone or intercom system, its a question of IP or analog.

with mikrotik, routers that have IPSEC acceleration are faster than pptp, even with encryption. I suggest the best ARM (currently ARM 64) at the highest clock. Or you can use a recent x86 based PC with relevant instruction sets.

It seems that this router was supplied with too little flash, it bricked itself after updating since it would not apply configs and it would still stay in a boot loop even after using netinstall. It still boot loops after using netinstall with the firmwares. Even my old RB450G has more storage space...

SystemErrorMessage

if you need 10Gb/s NAT i would recommend the CCR1016 at least or CCR1036, if its just your internal network doing layer 2 or layer 3 routing with few to no rules on the switch chip, the CRS can handle it.

SystemErrorMessage

i dont see that as a problem, yes i know the price is more than double the RB3011 but the features are well worth it. My only complaint is the lack of usb and upgradeable ram. I feel bummed that my CCR1036 doesnt have m.2 or even sata as there are plenty of things i want to use for it. My CCR's usb ...

SystemErrorMessage

im not sure why you need to be so sour about having m.2 slots on a router, plenty of uses for it. For example as mikrotik actually says, you can add drives for caching and logging, basically to not wear out the router's flash and have more space not to mention the faster speeds that m.2 can give via...

i think hes confused about the name. There is nothing cloud related about the router, the CPU itself is just a manycore CPU.

SystemErrorMessage

that doesnt work, allow remote requests will simply make it impossible for your own network clients to use the DNS on your router. Best way to solve it is to drop input onto port 53 (both tcp and udp) on your WAN interfaces.

sounds like some funny questioning. Its easy to break it down though. The target of mikrotik are consumers and businesses but not enterprise (they cant match cisco in performance and functionality required by enterprises). There are reasons why mikrotik sales have decreased though and the main reaso...

SystemErrorMessage

the main disappointment for me is the lack of SODIMM ram slots and SFP.

SystemErrorMessage

the problem with doing so on layer 2 is that you will block dhcp and pppoe from your side so you wont be able to connect to your ISP then. Thats why i use the firewall instead, it allows what needs to work on layer 2 to work but can block various other things.

SystemErrorMessage

the answer is simple, first just make sure the port is not switch, than in firewall filters on output at WAN interface, set output to drop except to a whitelist (you still need to be able to use DNS for example). Drop output to 255.255.255.255 (this is a broadcast for the entire internet). I have us...

5-10% penalty from memory is if you use registered/buffered ram for those using large amount of ram. So unless you plan to have more than 80GB of ram this doesnt matter. The memory controller will work at the same speed relatively regardless of the amount of ram for the memory controller on the CPU....

you could still get a CCR1036 and mod it like what i did. It doesnt cost much to modify it either. All you need are 2 brick PSUs and the right components and a decent soldering iron and usual house hold items. If there is a CCR1016 with dual PSU you can use that if you can make do with 1 SFP+ i gues...

SystemErrorMessage

Rather than using a physical interface, create a virtual one and tie the physical interface to it instead.

I think the best way to figure out which works better is to use the packet generator on a physical interface and virtual interface and see which one can use more CPU.

SystemErrorMessage

well i fixed mine by deleting and recreating the schedules. Perhaps doing a reset might help as i dont think you can delete the LCD config.

SystemErrorMessage

While i am not a staff mikrotik the CCR1072 should have redundant PSU and more SFP+ ports. Have you also checked the CCR1016? The older CCR1036 has 2 PSU connections and came with a PSU that really sucks. What you can do is get 2x 5A 20V or 24V PSU bricks, 2 adapters and some wiring. You may be able...

SystemErrorMessage

DNS is one of the things that mikrotik lags behind. Some consumer routers already have DNScrypt and DNSSEC and other routers have way more advanced DNS in terms of options and configurations. Rather than setting which IP subnet to use it it would be much better to be able to run the DNS service or m...

SystemErrorMessage

its the weakness of the mesh architecture between lots of cores. CPU usage isnt maxed out meaning that other cores are waiting for one core to finish its work. This is why mikrotik suggests using simple queues as they havent got multi threading down yet.

SystemErrorMessage

It sounds hard, but I think the only reason is "they don't want". As far as I know there is no technical reason why x86 only accepts 2GB. It just let sell CCRs better. there is a reason why RouterOS on x86 supports only 2GB - the speed of memory addressing. With high/low setups you would ...

SystemErrorMessage

i think its a firmware issue. I've been having miner issues on my CCR as well such as the scheduler not working.

SystemErrorMessage

RB411GL has very low power usage and cheaper than a PC hence why people use routerboards with openwrt sometimes. For those projects or even for home use.

If possible, you should use

Good one, i wasnt sure how to use it. Being able to use that directly rather than writing to flash is a lot better as you could simplify scripts even more.

VMware is capable of allowing VMs access to the hardware itself. that may be a better option but mikrotik may not work with that because of drivers. if you use 2 virtual NICs make sure that they arent capable of seeing each other. It could be internal traffic between the NICs physical and virtual or...

SystemErrorMessage

if it is for the pure router fan club than this feature is an absolute must. Mikrotik routerOS lacks many features. If a lot of features were included they would get more sales rather than people buying consumer routers and flashing 3rd party firmware or using a PC with a linux OS as a router.

SystemErrorMessage

it shouldnt be. Can routerOS directly access the NIC or is there some virtual NIC in between?

SystemErrorMessage

certain NICs have been known to cause higher CPU usage with virtualisation and routing. There are many different onboard NIC brands as well. Also if the virtualisation uses its own virtual NIC that can add to the overhead as well.

SystemErrorMessage

what physical NICs are you using?

ofcourse you can, simply look at the benchmarks for the CRS for switching as there is one on routerboard's website. With no switch filters the CRS performs at wirespeed.

SystemErrorMessage

all ports are connected to the same switch chip so they will all switch between them at wirespeed. The interface however only handles the layer 1 stuff.

CCR1072 has 8 SFP+, it would be a better consideration. SFP only routers and switches that exist are currently super expensive as the only buyers right now are ISPs and enterprises.

i have something to add to this, VDSL SFP modules have popped up and mellanox which now has bought tilera which designs the chips used in the CCRs makes one as well. Rather than a seperate modem having SFP modules are preferable because in my experience modems arent as reliable. MT hardware will run...

SystemErrorMessage

If by 2nd generation CCR perhaps you mean The tilera 1.5 Ghz CPU variants?

SystemErrorMessage

on the CRS you should expect to see between a few % to 50% just for management. The CPUs on them are weak but even comparing to the RB450G management will take between 2-4% CPU when clocked higher. I wish MT would allow overclocking for various routerboards currently out even the CCR series as well ...

SystemErrorMessage

I dont get why MT removed it, even if it isnt multicore it could be made so that every instance of metarouter will use a seperate core and let the user compile or use an OS that matches the CPU architecture rather than trying to virtualise the instruction sets.

SystemErrorMessage

I also find myself not using virtualisation either. While i use a routerboard rather than x86, routerOS on TILE is 64 bit being able to address large amounts of RAM. On x86 theres so much hardware that there is the issue of driver support however when it comes to linux, driver support isnt an issue ...

what are you connecting CCR to and what module?

This used to happen between my CCR and CRS but seems to have stopped.

The best solution is to use the AV2 powerline adapters if you cannot wire the wifi APs up.

You need to bridge the ethernet interface to the SSID if it is possible, if not you can always use routing.

Is the CCR always rebooting? Does it beep once just like when it is booting? I find some of the features in routerOS are buggy that when you use them it causes a reboot. Are you using a script that creates beeps? Are you using the alarm alert feature on routerOS?

This is interesting, im always looking at giving more tasks to my CCR. If it supports video encoding or even plex that would be great. If i used faster RAM in the CCR (higher frequency, lower timings) would the CCR be able to take advantage of it? The CCR1072 page shows the speed on different memory...

Thanks The 2 WANs i have are quite different. One has good latency and more upload, really good for gaming.

One simple way that doesnt involve complicated understanding is to use a simple blacklist such as if at random there is an input from WAN add it to the blacklist and block it at input and forwarding chains. This should disable all sorts of incoming prods

Hi i've been looking at various tutorials but havent managed to get mikrotik to work as the radius server.

SystemErrorMessage

You're right, thanks for correcting me. Still it is much better to use the PSU outside for temperature reasons. CPU cooling for the CCR is good but very poor case cooling.

SystemErrorMessage

What matters more is the ambient temperature. If you have fans on your enclosure go with the passive one. The PSU will fail if used in high ambient temperatures for too long. The passively cooled CCR has heatsink that goes all the way out so would be more effective at cooling only if there is fan ou...

I managed to fix my CCR, support informed me of what voltages are supported. Although i am using 24V you can use 13-30V for the CCR and it will still work. When the initial PSU was failing and was running at 12V the CCR was still working before the voltage dropped even more and the CCR went into a b...

This is surprising, I thought CCRs had 12V to 48V DC input allowance. I see conflicts everywhere, some of mikrotik's own pages say 12V-48V, the datasheet says 18V-36V. The PSU for mine failed because the voltage dropped from 24V to below 12V after a few minutes of power on. While the PSU was providi...

since the defaults all use the same IP you will have to use layer 2. Use discovery via mac.

As far as APs go UBNT has more features than mikrotik such as zero handoff (their new AC ones dont though).

Catching DNS requests and redirecting them is called hijacking.

using mikrotik as dns server is not enough, many services have hard coded dns servers.

Many ISPs do this as a way to block websites as it is very cheap in resource and admin. I wo...

SystemErrorMessage

i have the same problem but for me it was because i had 2 SFP+ with aggregration. I removed 1 and the link became stable.

The other problem is that loops tend to form within the switch as there is a lack of loop detection or STP as it is a layer 3 switch.

SystemErrorMessage

space isnt a premium inside the CCR, the CCR could be extended to be longer so it will be able to fit more things. One of the things i would really like to do is connect a battery to the CCR's input directly but i dont think routerOS supports batteries (i doubt it would charge the battery if power i...

SystemErrorMessage

35W is fine when full use. If you look at the CCR system health it will tell you how many watts it is using. Run a benchmark and if it freezes that means you dont have enough power but make sure that all NICs and CPU are being used and that the fans are running before you try adding more power.

i've seen this happen with a hotspot and you have a gateway behind it as i've seen it happen with my ISP. They verify by mac and perform NAT filtering to prevent any device behind a NAT or unauthorised from connecting to internet.

modularity would be nice for the CCR. Based on Tilera's specs some of the stuff on it can be made modular while some cant.

solution - apply layer 3 networking. This problem isnt limited to mikrotik but to every manufacturer. There is a solution for APs now that is isolation feature.

you can modify the CCR to be silent too and the CCR1036 also needs a better PSU. WIth a bit of tape you can use silent fans with the CCR.

There is a backup OS inside. When you update routerOS, use ftp instead of winbox or web as transfers can stop midway or time out.

I think mikrotik need to implement STP in their switches before releasing another switch. When you switch cables on the switch for gateways the switch will hang and you'll have to restart it even though there are no loops. To have to restart non consumer equipment is very shameful.
