Hi All,
We recently discovered that the onboard eth1 for the CCR1072 is unable to do basically anything, and is only usable for Winbox etc (would be nice of them to just label this interface as mgmt1 instead)
However working around that we installed a FS.com module (https://www.fs.com/au/products/75324.html) as we had these spare
The module is detected, but is unable to get a link
Has anyone used a RJ45/BASE-T module in the CCR1072?
PS. Running latest long term firmware, tried auto/no auto configurations, reprogrammed module to be Cisco, and attempted to program to both 1000 and 10/100/1000 modes
You will want to use the mikrotik ethernet adaptors.
And yes.. had a huge argument with their support because they do not advertise that the 1G port is not useable. It is only for management. “You have to look at the block diagram”.
I managed to find the fault, the module needs to be 10/100/1000 to work, mine was a static 1000, appears there is a hardware difference which prevents reprogramming these
For anyone else the generic fs.com module works fine 
Even that isn’t a good excuse from them since the block diagram doesn’t make it clear, a PCIE 1X port should be able to handle 1Gbps, or why not just make it a 100Mbps etc
