Error trying to setup MLAG on CRS317-1G-16S+RM

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi,

I have a pair of CRS317-1G-16S+RM and we are trying to setup MLAG but are facing this error message

[admin@MikroTik-10G-SW1] /interface bonding> add mlag-id-10 mode=802.3ad name=hyper1-bond slave=sfp-sfpplus2
expected end of command (line 1 column 5

Could anyone please tell me what is wrong with my syntax? I copied it from this KB:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Multi-chassis+Link+Aggregation+Group

Could anyone also tell mode=802.3ad is correct for LACP?

Thank you

What version of ROS are you using?

The embedded “>” is a prompt character, indicating you should have pressed enter after the first line, then copied the second one in.

You could also remove the angle bracket entirely. It’ll work as a single-line command.

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply. I use MikroTik RouterOS 6.49.7

I typed this command and press enter:

 /interface bonding

I also pressed enter again after “>” but I am still getting the same error message.

In ROS 6.49 the property mlag-id is not recognised. It seems that MLAG is a new feature introduced in v7 only.

Hi,

Sorry for the newbie question… I run the update checker and It is saying that I am on the latest version. Do I need to manually upgrade the RouterOS?
When I run the command from the documentation, do I need to do it in ‘router’ or ‘bridge’ configuration?

@mkx, I have now upgraded to MikroTik RouterOS 7.6 and the error message has gone.
Could anyone please tell me if I need to clear all configuration? Do I set the switch in ‘bridge’ or ‘router’ configuration? We are n ot using the CRS317-1G-16S+RM as router but a switch only.
