I started using the CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+PC and from the description it seemed to me that combo port should be used as WAN from ISP, but I can’t figure out how to set it up so that the connection from my ISP would come to that combo port so that I can use the remaining ethernet 1-7?
At the moment I only managed to use eth1 connector for getting internet from ISP and the remaining 6 eth connectors are used for my local network. What I would prefer though is to have ISP connect to ethernet part of my combo port, so that I am left with 7 ethernet connection from CCR.
Is this doable please?
BTW, for what it’s worth the declared 100Mb SFP compatibility did not work at all in my case (I am getting 100Mb fiber connection from my ISP) that is why I had to use a media convertor which takes one ethernet port from CCR .
I contacted Mikrotik support about SFP compatibility and they replied that only 3 types of SFP have been tested to work on CCR1009…do your homework before you buy it, as in my case I shouldn’t have bought it if I knew it will not work with my ISP fiber network
You should be able to use the SFP+ or the combo port as you wish but for some reason IT’s compatibility with many ISP GPON’s is not there yet because of reasons that are a real mystery to me and many others especially in the USA/Canada spheres.
You can use any remaining ports but because there is no switch chip for port bridging the remaining ports to creat a LAN’s would not work to your advantage because you would not get any form of acceleration since they would be highly dependent on the CPU. You can attached switches to each port and treat them as independent LANs and in that way you get the benefit of inter-LAN acceleration. Many other methods are available that include vlans that also require external switches. The Power of the CCR Routers is their ROUTING performance and when combined with external switches one gets a great deal of POWER.
Yes, I do understand that if combo port would accept my SFP module I would not be able to use the ethernet part of the combo port - this is obvious. However, if I could use my SFP from the combo port, I would not need to run a ethernet cable from my media convector to my CCR1009 - at the moment this is the only way for my to covert the fibre optics into ethernet via media convertor. Thus ethernet 1 port (out of 7) is used for the internet input. What I wanted to achieve is to bring the internet into combo1 port therefore all remaining 7 ethernet ports will be free for my local network.
Yes, I gave up on SFP port implementation by mikrotik and purchased a media convertor which converts ? my fiber optics signal into simple 100mb ethernet which I then plug into second from the left port, marked eth1 on the image above.
My question is, how to make the first left eth port (marked eth, or the ethernet part of the combo1 port if you wish) work as a input from my media convertor?
At the moment I have input coming into eth1 port (second from left ethernet port) and I am left with only 6 ports (eth2-eth7).
You can do that.
But you need to move all existing “wan” config from eth1 to combo1.
For reference do an /export in terminal and look for all the places where eth1 occur.
Even better way would be to drop default configuration at all and configure the whole router from scratch, but that’s only if you have at least some basic mikrotik experience.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a new router and this one seems to fit all my needs, but I would like to know if the following can be configured:
Use the SFP port from the combo for the WAN connection (any SFP ONU that can be used to connect this router with a Huawei OLT)? I know this “sacrifices” the ethernet port from the combo
Use the SFP+ port to link the router with a future switch at 10Gbs
Do port trunking / link aggregation with two switch ethernet ports (e.g. eth3 and eth4) so I can connect a NAS? this is not so important because sooner or later the NAS will be connected to the future switch - which I will make sure it supports it, but in the meanwhile it would be highly appreciated.
can the PoE ethernet port be configured to power a passive 24V WiFi access point? (from what I understood the only PoE port is for powering the router, but I would like to confirm). This would be an extra, not a must for my needs, I can still power the AP with an adapter.
Funny that so am I!! In the market for a new device.
Any reason NOT to get this device for a 1gig internet service bell fibre?
I plan on one bridge with many vlans and two WAN ISPs, the other being eastlink plain cable with connections to a number of managed switches
You do not need a bridge … What makes you think that You do? Bridges are for whooses AND the CCR is not for whooses … the CCR is for users that LOVE and RESPECT P O W E R !
If you do not mind spending the bucks … I highly recommend the CCR1009
How did you connect your Bell SFP module [transceiver] to the RB450gx4? Since Bell already approved your connection you may be able to use it for the CCR Combo Port?
BTW, who makes that transceiver? HUAWEI, Nokia or ??
Too funny, the Bell ONT, is an alcatel lucent model.
It has fibre line that comes from outside goes in and four ethernet jack are also on the exterior chassis.
One of them connects to the ethernet port on the router.
As far as I can recall, the hookup to the network was mostly about registering the ONT with Bell and with my account.
So not sure what you mean??
Researching…
(old post so not sure if still true) Aliant uses GPON FTTH technology which provides 2.4Gbps down and 1.24Gbps up to the splitter in the outside boxes, from there aliant uses 32 channel splitters that then shares this bandwidth to 32 customers, so in order to provide 1Gbps symmetrical they would have to upgrade to wdm-pon or eliminate the splitters and have each customer fed directly to the olt in the headend(aliants ftth service was not deisgned for this)
This is probably close…
The indoor ONTs support the following main GPON features:
• GEM mode support for efficient IP/Ethernet service traffic transport
• 2.488 Gb/s line rate downstream and 1.244 Gb/s line rate upstream
• Class B+ optics with 28 dB optical link loss
• integrated diplexer for ONTs supporting POTS and data
• integrated triplexer for ONTs supporting POTS, data, and the optional RF video
and/or MoCA service
• 1490 nm wavelength downstream, 1310 nm wavelength upstream, and optional
1550 nm downstream for RF video overlay
• single mode fiber and use 2x5 SFF SC/APC optical port
• optical budget of 28 dB (without FEC) and an Rx optical sensitivity of -27 dB
• PON reach capacity of 18.6 miles (30 km)
• G.984.3-compliant Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA)
• G.984.3-compliant Advanced Encryption System (AES) with operator
enable/disable per port-ID level
• G.984.3-compliant Forward Error Correction (FEC) for longer reach upstream
and downstream
• G984.4, G.983.2 revised compliant OMCI interface for ONT management and
provisioning
From experience I can tell that sometimes you need to specify combo-mode=sfp, and for 100M-SFP’s you always need to set auto-negotiation=no and speed=100M manually. This is highly dependent on the SFP module used.
So is the cable from the ONT coming into your RB450gx4 router Ethernet or is it Fiber … with a Transceiver?
BTW Anav, the CCR’s do not have a default configuration … when you get one its a bare naked lady … so you configure it without an initial connection to the Internet then when ready with the config you want YOU then connect to the WAN Ports.
1 fiber IN, 4 ethernet jacks OUT
One of which goes to the hex router (plain jane gig ethernet).
My reading tells me that at the ports themselves there is 2.5 ghz capability down and 1.5up or something.
I would probably use an S-RJ01 with a cat 7 cable to the ONT ethernet jack ( from the sfp side of the combo jack)
or perhaps an S+RJ10 with same cable but in the SFP+ port.
Thinking they have 1.5 down now and if I wanted to upgrade in the future the R+ will handle it passed 1.25.
Does that make sense… plus If I use the Sfp+ port (I could still use the SFP port in the combo to one of my 260GS switches that already has an R-J01)
“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”
BNL - yes assumed it would be a candidate for installing rules from scratch, that is what terminal and copy and paste are for
OK since its Ethernet that will simplify everything and free up the SFP ports to do what you may want to i.e. 260GS etc. I do not know about the S-RJ01
.
… so you configure it without an initial connection to the Internet then when ready with the config you want YOU then connect to the WAN Ports.
