RB2011 series router overview video

We have made a new video:

Thank you Normis.

Very well done, excellent voice actor, and nice music. I’m proud to share these videos.

A couple of suggestions:

Please don’t call them low cost. I did not buy them because they were cheap. I bought them because they were full featured, high end, and community supported routers suitable for less than 300 users. I don’t want to run a 70watt device for 20 active users. I choose based on CPU power because it was the responsible thing to do. When I need more power I’ll move up your line. Don’t make me feel like I just bought an iPhone 5C.

Make a RM version of the RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN.

In video you can say: It have 5Gigabit ethernet + (1Gbit port)

Hi,

Not support for the 100FX SFPs yet ??
We have 300 of this RB2011LS-IN in stock, they are installed as routers.

We are using IMC in our last mile but We want to use this equipment directly with our IMC fiber cards but they works only in 100FX.
The card for 1000FX is very expensive.

of course they are fully featured, and overall great devices in metal cases. but you can’t deny that they are not expensive for their class

but who has them in stock?

Roc-Noc has a bunch. I just ordered a second one a few days ago.

Normis, when you will update http://routerboard.com with new 2011_i_ models or maybe i can get pictures of these somewhere else?

I’ve been playing with the RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN…
My “lab” tests included copying a 11Gb file (a HD Movie) from a RAM filesystem (tmpfs) on one Linux box to a Linux Laptop with another RAM file system (both being bigger than 12Gb, both machines with Gigabit ports. The devices between these machines included the RB2011 (v6.5), CCR1036 (v6.10), HP ProCurve Switch 6108 (has 2 optic ports) and a Trendnet Fibre converter - with SFP slot.

Regardless of the combination of switch, media Converter and Microtik kit, an FTP of the 11Gb (11731812630 Bytes) file took about 100 seconds (or 110.89 Mbytes per second) - pretty much wire speed.

The Mikrotik ports in use were always bridged - so no routing was involved.

I’m impressed.

I love how the Mikrotiks with SFP’s (usually) “recognise” the Module thats present.
Was using: S31DLC20D - dual fibre, single mode 20Km SFP.

Suggestions:
If the MT can do that - why not a step further and automatically switch off “auto-negotiation” and set the speed to the (usually fixed?) speed the SFP can do? At least have an editable software lookup table, primed with Mikrotik (+tested) SFP’s?
Is there a list of compatable SFP’s?
My HP Procurve doesn’t like Mikrotik SFP’s
Mikrotik doesn’t like the 3Com 3CSFP91 or 3CSFP92 SFP’s but the ‘sfp’ tag displays info about the SFP. Actually - the Mikrotik appeared to do everything except receive bits from the far side.
The Trendnet Mediaconverters SFP slot simply worked with everything that I plugged in… so a device agnostic SFP slot appears to be possible.

Will the Mikrotik SFP code ever be able to tell me how long the Fibre is - and if broken - how far away the break is? Using S-3553LC20D ??
Can I display it on the mini-screen and will it be available via SNMP (thinking that this could notify about and help locate fibre breaks)

Will Mikrotik/Routerboard ever have a high density board with 16+ SFP’s and perhaps just a few copper ports (Looking at a 3Com Superstack 5500 G1-E 24SFP with 10Gb capable slots… sitting on my desk…)???

Yeah that’s an issue I notice with the SFPs.
None of them are recognized by HP Procurve or Trendnet.

So they work with MT to MT but nothing else we have so far. :frowning:
Both HP and TR are up to latest firmware.

As for the 2011, I love them. BUT… Damn I wish the second set of ports were gigabit too. I would have gladly paid extra to have all ports gigabit.

well, updated SoC, instead of kinda battle-proven, but underperforming 9344 could be cool )
which can have 1Gb swtich instead of 10/100, it had, or better - all ports can have dedicated PHY, which is kinda boost price of unit, marginally, but worth it. and of course, be based on multi-core 1074kf chips WITH FPU.
or something cold as ubicom, but fast as recent A9 multicore chips, like Marvel Armada XP things or something alike.
p.s.
CPU in SoC relatively slow for mult-port 1Gb usage, unless you’re run it as “smart switch”, with fast-pasth driven/boosted routing thru switch chip(which is usual for RB2011 set as CPE by entry-level ISP’s), not that kind of use, what most RB users addicted to, for years :slight_smile:
p.p.s.
as for SFP - all vendors had reasons for.
not heard about TP, but for HP its quite usual, sadly.

cool. but look at jaw-dropping(on new customers)complexity of WebFig interface(in fully-equipped unit. ie with all packages installed) thru gunsight-style, narrow hole, can be not optimal(maybe outside can be rendered with bit more transparency? or just make circle of viewing bit bigger )
and bit more info about LCD functionality(rather than just fancy appearance;) can help sell more, a bit.

p.s.
nobody tell about overclocking ability in ad :slight_smile:
some geeks just buy anything because you can add atleast 20Mhz to clocks, despite marginal practical benefits )

What is the maximum size of the routing table for the 2011 series in IPv4 and IPv6?
