RB3011 port flopping - bad design

[honzam]

Hello, the discussed RB3011 issue is not hardware related, despite the quoted email in the first post.
We have discovered that it tends to occur due to software after several day uptime, therefore it is harder to reproduce and debug it. Despite all that, we are working on it and plan to apply fixes in upcoming RouterOS versions.

Very good news!!
It’s great that you wrote it publicly on the forum.
Thanks

Does this mean that a scheduled daily reboot will fix this problem for now?

Nothing scream hack GARBAGE like “requiring daily reboots”.
PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME ADD DAILY REBOOTS TO MY SYSTEMS.

Now It starts flopping on 2 Hex Poe - same switch chipset. Traffic over Hex is about 200 Mbit and there is one 100 Mbit port. I will migrate it to 1Gbit, but it is user router and it spends more money. Will new release fix Hex Poe?

Good news!!!

"Hello,

We have repeated the RB3011 problem, determined that the cause is purely software related and now we are working on fixes which should be done soon.
Thank you for reporting.

Love that MikroTik actual take fault reports seriously!

Do we know how soon is soon?

[Sheriff1972]

I guess not…!

Any progress?

Any news on the progress?

My problem with port flopping on the hAP ac might be related to the same problem. Therefore, I am looking foreward to news on the topic…

Hello All,

Just checking to see if this is being looked into anymore?

It’s been a while

[jhardy]

Still hoping for word of a solution. I’ve found that instead of rebooting the whole switch, I can just bounce the offending interface interface and that clears it up, at least for awhile.

[Sheriff1972]

Well that is something.

It has been very quiet on this for a long time, I had just wondered if the team had given up.

Any updates on this topic?

Probably something that isn’t easy to fix so i guess they will eventually say it will be fixed in version 7, that’s another way of saying it won’t be fixed thsi century

Is it a possibility to put a dumb 10/100 switch after the RB3011? I know, it should not be like that.

Is going back to RB2011 an option? I never had this problem, mixed Gbit and fast ethernet.


And still, how do YOU control the users equipment? Today all users have “old laptops”, with 100 Mbit NIC’s. Tomorrow one guy buys a new laptop and that one has Gigabit connection. So what, after the new laptop he get’s worse performance or reliability? Strange.

Hello, I have purchased a RB3011 and migrated an RB2011, copy all settings via the terminal. However, when I put the RB3011 in the air, the port that reaches my link (ETH1), is in constant UP / DOWN. Due to this situation, I put the rb2011 back and this error does not occur.

Xbox does that exact thing. Have to put a switch in-between or run wireless.

[Sheriff1972]

How about they just fix the issue…

Not sure if the Xbox thing IS the same thing as the port flopping… but have seen this since the 2011s came out.

Any progress?

We stopped buying this HW, last good product in Mikrotiks offer is RB1100AHx4, but its twice expensive
