Hello Folks!

Tested ROS6.13 today (full reset without defaults and updated it, no netinstall yet).
The same CRS port based vlans and inter vlan routing examples same results all fail, no traffic at all is passed through the device to any ports, and yes we tried using both ether1 and ether2 as master port.

Positive is that CRS does not hang anymore, and it was not bricket a reset helped out.

If it works, with some other settings, then I start to feel we do not have that deep competence to deal with ingress/outgress tagging and policy groups I have seen people discussing here and there but never saw anyone coming up with some working results that I could understand, so maybe CRS as a switch is not for us after all. It has also started to consume lot of time doing all those tests when a new RoS is rolled out.

However, the device is usful as a plain switch, without using any vlans and such stuff, and we do use some for that here since months back.

We did never try using it as a router due to it’s weak CPU, it might work in some small SOHO network which yet has not got 100Mbit/s internet.

We finally got it working in LAB, thanks to MT support: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/crs-documentation/71458/1 see bottom of link.
