Frequent “Link Paused” Issue Between CRS326-24S+2Q+ and CCR2116-12G-4S+

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with frequent “link paused” status between two MikroTik devices:

CRS326-24S+2Q+, running SwOS v2.17

CCR2116-12G-4S+, running RouterOS v7.18.2

They are connected using a MikroTik AOC optical cable (S+AO0005) through SFP+ 10G modules.

On the CRS326, the problem appears specifically on port SFP22, which often switches to “link paused” state (see attached screenshot).

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to resolve it? I’d really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!
