CSS610-8G-2S+ Management Access from SFP+ Port

SwOS
21

Hi all,

I was in contact with MKT support. They had email me with a RC release. It works and i can manage the switch by the SFP+ but i’m waiting for a final release with the corrected bug…

22

Can you please share the RC somewhere?

23

Hi,

I go to ask MKT support first if i can share de direct link from them or i can share by my self…

24

thanks. I canceled my order for 2 of them but already got one, so I can use that.

Below you can download the SwOS 2.13rc5 version for the CSS610-8G-2S+ device:
https://box.mikrotik.com/f/2d3d33561426401a8697/?dl=1

And for the netPower Lite 7R (CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+) device:
https://box.mikrotik.com/f/089b908aede040b099c8/?dl=1

It should improve the management connectivity for the SFP+ interfaces. Other fixes and improvements are coming, but I cannot comment when the stable version will be released.

26

Thanks. Appreciate it.

TY

You’re not wrong. Just got 2 of these and the main thing people will use the SFP’s for is to do 10G back-haul to a main switch not testing that management access works over the SFP is pretty poor

Hi all,

Now i can manage the devices but icmp to IP of the device is very unstable…

I know and understand it’s the rc5 version, but here are my observations


  • device unstable response (ICMP)

+

  • lazy web interface (often you need to refresh the page to retrieve tab content)

Just for the record, Mikrotik introduced SwOS Lite

Has anyone with some electronics knowledge tried to open the CRS318-16P-2S+OUT to see inside if its PoE-out ports could be modded for use as PoE-in?
It’s more expensive but runs proper RouterOS and just works, power consumption could be an issue though (would probably need 48V PoE-in).

I’ve done a similar mod for 24V reverse-PoE-in on a much smaller device (OmnitikUPA - old one with 802.11n and 10/100 ports), it was just adding 4 diodes (used 2 dual schottky diodes in isolated TO220, anodes to pins 4,5 of each port 2-5, common cathode to “+” of DC input jack - which becomes an output in case you need to power something non-PoE, I haven’t used it).
PoE-out ports 2-5 have diodes in series, so simply applying power (without the mod) does nothing (no current flow, no damage).
Ports used as PoE-in must be set to PoE-out “off” of course - in my case ports 1-4 are used as PoE-in and port 5 as PoE-out powering the uplink radio.

32

we are having the same problem cannot be accessed from the sfp ports, they do not have connectivity from the sfp port among other CCS610, we bought more than 25 and I am waiting for the resolution of Mikrotik I follow the thread.

33

r5 definitely allows access over SFP however the switch doesn’t seem to be able to re-negotiate lower link speeds with copper 10G Mikrotik SFP modules. I have these renegotiating fine between a Mikrotik RouterOS device to a Zyxel XGS switch where they will happily renegotiate at 2.5G or 5G if the cable or length is not good enough but the CCS610 only want to do 10G or nothing. It looks like there are quite a few bugs left in SwitchOS to fix…

Hello
on a css610 I configured port 1 in the lab as a trunk with 5 vlans and I configured 5 access ports on each vlan - on port 1 I connected a mikrotik router which delivers me the vlan and the associated dhcps - I can’t get the vlans to transit - I followed the procedure step by step I don’t see where the problem is - can you help me
I checked with a sw cisco that the router was correctly configured it’s correct - my problem is of course on the css

35

Trying to install r5 - fails with error that bad firmware file. Tried both from webfig and winbox. Any hints?

36

You got this for the NetPower 7R Lite?

37

I edited my first post and added a download link for the netPower Lite 7R, see above.

38

Thanks for providing us with further RC candidates.

I’ve got 8 units now, and just was notified that my backorder of 20 units from Baltic Networks has shipped.
So I’m coming to the point where I would like to have a known good release version soon!

39

Thank you, sir!

However, It doesn’t seem to be taking on my unit running 2.12rc2. It doesn’t give me any errors, it just briefly says upgrading, then the page automatically refreshes and nothing happens or upgrades. Thanks.

Same case for me. Shutting it off and powering back helped solving this issue. Also, make sure you use firmware for your specific device. I.e. CSS610-8G-2S+ and CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+ are not cross-compatible.
