Hello,
I just got the RB4011iGS+RM and there are no switch settings on the WinBOX or on webfig. I have tried to upgrade to the new 6.43.4 version and downgrade it to 6.43.3 and install 6.43.4 via netinstall. No luck. I have a RB1100 that uses the same CPU and switch chips. The switch settings are there.
Does this mean this is an indication of hardware malfunction?
Use CLI to alter switch settings. Not all features are supported though.
[admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet switch port> set 6 vlan-header=always-strip
failure: vlan header mode not supported
I tried already. So far it can’t accept any settings. I tried to set VLAN mode and to add some rules. No luck. Is this problem due to a switch chip limitation, a hardware implementation limitation, or hardware failure? Is the fact that Winbox can’t show the settings for the switch deliberate or it just an indication of faulty hardware? This unit is brand new and no match information available. My assumption is that it has to be similar to the RB1100. RB1100 accepts the rules and VLAN settings. It has the same CPU and the same switch chip.
The RB4011 uses the RTL8367 switch chip.
It means:
Feature RTL8367
Port Switching: yes
Port Mirroring: yes
TX limit: no
RX limit: no
Host table: 2048 entries
Vlan table : no
Rule table: no
Yes I know. The question is if the MK implemented this chip in the same way as on RB1100?
On 1100AHx4 is possible configure VLAN and add rules on switch chip?
RB1100 has the same chip and the switch settings are there in Winbox. In my case the settings are not there. That fact the settings are not there can indicate the hardware malfunction or it was done deliberately by Mikrotik?
You speak about RB1100AHx4 with RTL8367
or RB1100AHx2 with Atheros8327
or RB1100 with Atheros8316
These are three different models. Everyone with another switch chip. Only AHx4 have same switch chip
RB1100AHx4 with RTL8367
I have not this model in network. Can you make screen of switch menu in winbox? Thanks
The switch tab is missing
This is RB1100. The switch tab is there
Yes, I know. In my rb4011 is switch menu also missing. Why do you need this menu? Switch chip in rb4011 is only for switching and mirroring. It is possbile configure via winbox…
On rb1100AHx4 - what is inside switch menu? You can in rb1100AHx4 configure VLAN in switch menu?
My assumption is that the RB4011 is similar to the RB1100. Same SPU, switch chip and firmware. That fact the switch tab is not there may indicate the following: MK implemented that chip differently on the RN4011 unit or it is a hardware malfunction. This is the nature of my inquiry. If it is a hardware malfunction, the unit needs to be replaced regardless if you are using these settings or not. It may lead to different problems. If it was made deliberately by MK, it means the hardware is functioning properly and we don’t have to do anything.
I have at least 7 different MK devices in my company. Only CCR1009 has no switch chip settings because it has no switch chip. All others have this settings tab.
In the past, it has already happened with new routerboards. And it does not matter to anything 
RB4011 is simply “too much” new.
Personally, I think the “switch tab” will come in the new versions of ROS
I really hope so
But it still worth to discover if this is the case
Note, I have the RB4011 too, and the switch tab is not present.
