Any hope outstanding for hardware LACP bonded links on CRS226? been waiting for years!

mervincm

given the new bridge format that dumpss the master port concept, using the hardware switch, can we now used LACD bonded channels on the CRS226 products?
I might have to give up and buy a 169$ switchos sunning CSS326, as I understand that it can support LACP.

Can anyone confirm either?

I also see problems with my RB260GSP, powered by factory adapter. SWOS 1.17 I don't believe I have issues on the PoE side (three wireless AP) but I do see 14-18 ms ping and 1-5% dropped packets and time from PC directly connected to the RB260GSP. I get a consistent 0% dropped, 0-1 ms ping time from ...

Personally I don't 'need it now'. I am not affected by the bugs resolved in 6.29.1 anyway. What I am saying is that for whatever reason everyone has, the .torrent files are really useful. More useful than downloading 20 files manually from the download page. Do you really need all four architecture...

6.29 broke my CRS226-24-2s+ access via winbox, it simply couldn't connect. fortunately I could still connect via web. 6.29.1 was applied via web and after that Winbox worked fine.

I had a problem a long time ago that once I connected a specific system to a switch everything else stopped working. I think it turned out to be a ground loop at the site. We moved the "bad" device (and all its peripherals) to the same powerbar as a working system and the problems disappea...

CRS with 4 or more 10 gig SFP+ ports. 16-24 1G would be fine

ceiling mount AC1750 or AC1900 class poe powered AP priced 150.

I use Adaptive Load Balancing on my Synology NAS to CRS226. It is important to have nothing configured for a trunk (for these ports) on your 226. LACP didnt work, but adaptive load balancing from the new synology beta seems good so far.

Any word on when this feature might be implemented? been a looong time waiting .....

mervincm

If not, what is the best solution to provide the highest speed possible between these 2 switches ? 2 x direct attached cable for both SFP+ slots and building a LAG (LACP) aggregated you will own then an 20 GBit/s uplink between this switches. Do not spread false solutions please. The forum is full ...

I have a CRS226 , the default master port for mine was port 1. You have to remember the router performance in some of these models is comparatively poor, so be very careful when you move functionality outside of the switch chip. As an example I used the router software based trunking, and the aggreg...

I had a similar problem previously in quickset.

Strangely I found that if I rebooted the router, it was in fact set. It seemed to be more of a cosmetic / interface bug.

Are you seeing the same thing?

mervincm

Any updates?

I think Location can also play a big part.

according to the Wireshark wiki, (the first Google hit when you search Ethernet protocol 800) IP is Ethernet type #800, so it likely literally means that, its an Ethernet interface and it sees IP on it. http://wiki.wireshark.org/Internet_Protocol Within IP #6 is indeed TCP http://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Yes this would work great if I had only one server for that domain. Then I can add static mydomain.com --> 172.16.80.40 How do I do it for two or more servers with one domain name? I see. of course you are correct. A DNS can't resolve to a set of IP's based on the port you will attempt to connect to...

mervincm

well, are you hoping to access these servers via their internal IP or their external? if you are OK using internal, why not just add these hosts to your internal DNS? I can access the servers with their local IP:port but my point is to access them with mydomain.com:port from in and out my local net...

but you can set interface bonding (4 interface, 802.3ad) and bridge it into switch master port ;) It's true, and it works, I tried it, but CPU involvement limits it to 40MB/sec on a pair of bonded 1GBE links. This is only about 20% of what you would hope for :) So while you could do it for increase...

mervincm

your Synology actually works with all 4 interfaces connected. Also please note 802.3ad is not something magical that provides you and 4x network performance boost instantly and always. Understood, but I will have multiple concurrent threads, so it could help sometimes. What version Firmware your Sy...

I have an 1813+ Synology NAS Network fault tolerant might work, but frankly as I understand that setting, its only for increased uptime, not for any increased simultaneous performance. I am thinking about adding in another switch I have that supports 802.3ad, then see if the microtik will connect to...

I assumed the link I presented was for all CRS, not a specific model. Was I wrong? I didn't find anything that indicated the 125 should have features that the 226 does not. That link seems to indicate that yours should not have the feature either, so I am confused. Do you have the 4 ports in your 80...

I am at 6.18 I tried the code as quoted but I got an error that "input does not match any value of port" the ports I tried to add are still listed as master port of main switch, is this appropriate? looking at the wiki here (It seems it was last edited today??) http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wik...

That's a bit more $$ than I was hoping for, and the case is a bit too tech looking for most business or home requirements. ideally you want that smoke detector look so they don't get targeted for theft!

mervincm

Well this is excellent! I was following the older instructions (drop ports from default switch, add then to a new interface, then bridge that to the old main switch) and I only got to 40MB/sec with switch CPU was at 100% I gave up on that, and instead tried splitting my tasks up on individually IP'd...

There seems to be quite a bit of activity around point to point links and WISP gear. but is there anything that would be functional as an indoor WiFI (2.4&5.0 N&AC) ideally powered by PoE using the RB260GSP

mervincm

Was looking to connect my synology NAS over multiple bonded nics (it has 4) but It only mentions 802.3ad. is it possible to config it that was on the NAS and use another option on my CRS226? Or do I basically just have to wait for Mikrotik to support 802.3ad in hardware?

mervincm

When I first setup my switch, I similarly lost connection. Someone here gave me a great hint that you can use winbox and connect to its MAC address. I used that, completed my configuration, and had no connection issue after that.

mervincm

Thanks

OK. I put all 24 GiGE ports and even the 10GigE SFP+ to Auto TX/RX flow control on my CCS226. I will watch for a while see how things go. Now I just need to find out how to find dropped packet stats on a windows box .....

There is one at the main site.

just copy that maybe?

Exactly!

virtually every site adds it and it looks so much more professional. From my perspective, I don't keep any text for sites with a favIcon on my favourites, keeps the toolbars so much cleaner!

Thank you! Based on your advice, I removed the bridge, and everything still seems to function correctly. To be honest, the impression that I had from quick set was you had to pick from router or bridge mode. I knew I didn't need any routing functionality, so I assumed I must want bridge mode. Now I ...

mervincm

Can someone please confirm if I am on the right track here.

mervincm

Why the bridge between the SFP port and eth1? Can it not just be a slave like the other ports?

I don't know about the CRS125, but on my CRS226 the 2 SFP+ ports can indeed be slaves of the same single master port.

[*]Remove all L3 features (IP Addresses, DHCP,...)[/*][/list] However, I'm afraid by doing this I will loose my connection with the device.

The documentation seems to say that bridge mode or router mode applies to how data flows between switch groups, am I correct? If I don't need to do any trunking or routing, I don't really want to use bridge mode, nor router mode. I really just want one switch group. Correct? If I do want to create a...

mervincm

swapping the SFP+ between the two seems to have fixed it. maybe dust/dirt???

mervincm

The code are running only if you use it.

OK, so this means that it does not waste memory or waste CPU, the only waste is a tiny bit of storage on NVRAM? if No then no point in uninstalling them. Thank you!

Is there any point in removing packages that I suspect I don't need on CRS226? It has limited ram and CPU, and less running code is usually a good idea. Is there a list of what package does what for us new Mikrotik'ers?

I replaced the cable, and one SFP+ (Microtik) now, so that would leave the optics in the Server NIC side transceiver. Since the problem is temporarily "fixed" by removing and re-seating the fiber connection on the microtik side, I didn't think that likely to be a problem. If/when the probl...

Well it took a few days, and the problem came back. The symptom is the same. performance to a windows server connected to the SFP+ , slot 2 starts off just fine, but after a few days in one direction (FROM the server to the switch) drops like a store, about 2% of what it should be.

As I do not plan to do any layer three on this switch (for now anyway) I guess it does not make much difference then.
