LACP fallback

RouterOS General
1

Hello experts,
I’m looking for a RouterOS 7.x equivalent feature for “LACP fallback”, usually used during the client PXE booting phase. I have a couple of MLAG connected CRS326-24S+2Q+ with RouterOS v7.3.1 (stable). The scenario I’m looking for is perfectly described in this Arista KB[1].

Any thoughts/pointers?
Thanks in advance!

I have checked the documentation and in the /interface/bonding I don’t see any related parameter (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Bonding) - is there no lacp fallback available in RouterOS 7?

Hello! Any updates? Could this be added as an RFE for RouterOS v7?

any updates?

I too am seeking information on LACP Fallback in RouterOS / Mikrotik platforms. I am currently running 7.16.1.

Can’t this be just a scheduled script that monitors link status and switches between 802.3ad and active-standby with primary interface? Not a single config line like Arista, but still may do the trick

any update?

I thought LACP was the term used for bonding two etherports from one device into another so it appears as one interface ???

“Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is a standard that allows switches to combine multiple physical Ethernet links into a single logical link. This process is called link aggregation.”

This would be extremely helpful. When a Talos node boots without LACP (because it still needs to be configured) the switch LACP needs to be disabled somehow for the configuration to happen. Once the node starts with LACP PDUs, then restart LACP peering.
