Hi, I have a pair of CRS317-1G-16S+ connected over 2 fibers with UN-10G-LC-40-B, 10G modules. Port 1 and 2 of SW-A are connected to port 1 and 2 of SW-B in an active LAG configuration and were working fine until today I started to see packet loss at the router connected to the far end of the second CRS317-1G-16S+ which is port 9. If I disable any of the ports from the LAG, the packet loss goes away. Errors page in the gui is not showing any packet drops or any other errors and since there are not much of logging mechanism available, I can’t seem to figure out why the packet drops.
Any ideas/hints on what to look for or how to troubleshoot?
I am running SwitchOS 2.13, there is no bond or bridge, it’s just a plan LAG. But I figured out the issue was a VLAN creating a loop across the network. Removed the VLAN and things seems stable for now.
which means you posted question in wrong part of forum. You would have better chance to attract attention of some experienced SwOS use in SwOS section.
Issue seems to be back. This is not a VLAN issue. Attached are my configs, since there is no CLI, so only screenshots are attached. I am still failing to understand if this is switch issue or something wrong with the LAG.
Appreciate any pointers to figure out what’s happening.
I do not use swos only routeros but there are two things I consider strange from your screenshots:
1.- You got lots of rx pauses in sfp4 port. What is in that port? does it work at 10gbps or at 1gbps
2.- You got only tx flow control, I think it should be configured in both tx and rx but I can be wrong.
From (1): Is it posible that whith that number of pauses you lost packets.
Those rx pauses are for some other port. It’s a 10G uplink for Broacde switch, but I have enabled both rx/tx on both LAG ports but still seeing packet loss.
It’s a simple network, I am pinging from the firewall on the left side and the firewall is connected to Brocade which has an 10G uplink to CCS. My port utilization is around 150 Mbps average.
With both links ON, I see the the following packet loss on the router which is direct connect to my firewall.
10.2.20.23 is the firewall which has direct VLAN interface 999 as well. When I turn off any of the 10G link from the LAG, I don’t see any of these packet loss. Both of the CCS have identical config except the right side has router connected and left side has switch->Firewall.
You’re doing well to run 10Gb/s over a 6KM multi-mode fiber - but maybe the technology has improved from what I am used to. However that does not seem to be the issue.
I knw you state that you don’t think this is a VLAN related issue (and you may well be right), but can you post screen captures of the VLAN and VLANs tabs.
I contacted Mikrotik support and they advised to disable “Add Information Option” in “Systems” menu. They thing that it’s a possible software issue where this option can cause some problems when DHCP is forwarded over LAG, which was true in my case. Since I have disabled this option on both of the switches, I don’t see any packet drops.
