HEX Lite

Hi,

i just wanna to ask about one issue with RB mentioned in topic name. I have couple of RB’s in my lab, and HexLite is one of them. I have enabled bonding( balance rr) between RB750Gv1 and HexLite. There is no any heavy config. Only IP’s on 3 interfaces ( eth1,5 and bonding1 - eth 2,3 are slaves). After i run BWtest(client) from 750G to Hex(BWTest server) and traffic reaches ~170Mbps, Hex freezes, and i loose connectivity from winbox or all menus are empty, while 750G is completely ok ( CPU goes up to 69%). As soon as i stop a BWtest, Hex recovers. During test, right before disconnect, CPU on hex was 90-93%. Both are running latest RC (6.38rc15) with up to date firmwares ( 3.24 and 3.33). Is it possible hardware issue or HexLite is simply so weak?

Don’t use btest on the devices you want to test.

Hmm, thats fairly new information for me. Thanks, and could you maybe point me to thread or elaborate why’s that?

Thanks again.

A btest kills the CPU, either run UDP (less CPU intensive) or stick a PC on either side and run iperf.

Thanks for answer, i didn’t know that.

I didn’t know why you hadn’t read the manual first.
