v6.45.7 SFP+ speed and package issues

Sun Nov 03, 2019 2:56 am

I original posted finding over at RouterOS>General forum viewtopic.php?f=2&t=153474&p=757800#p757800 but I believe I have tracked it down to a OS/Firmware issues so am re-posting the my finding here. I hope this does not violate a forum rule. but suspect Ill get better response here.

Issues present across 2 separate CRS-317-1G-16S+
I do not believe this is a hardware issue. This looks to be a Firmware issue.

will follow up with older firmware results and I have ordered in a MikroTik branded SFP AOC for more testing

Found some of the port will go full speed if I bounce the port with speed trouble and on some this has no effect. After a reboot the issues return.

tested with 6.44.6 and 6.45.7, and 7.0B3 same results

tested ports on CRS-24P-4S-RM across 3 different units

Equipment I original picked up for 10G network upgrade:
x1 CCR1016-12S-1S+
x1 CRS317-1G-16S+
x2 CRS328-24P-4S+
x1 RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD

Equipment I picked up To verify and Trouble shoot 10G issues:
x1 CRS317-1G-16S+
x2 CRS328-24P-4S+

+ 2600$+ in hardware and shipping
+ all the SFP+ DACs and AOCs
+ over 100 hour troubleshooting researching 10G issues and corresponding with MikroTik.
+ more then 6 months late I still don't have a 10G network that is stable or fully functional.

The average person surely would have gave up already. Come on MikroTik lets work together and find a solution!!!

tested with:
2x Aquantia AQtion SFP+ NIC, 10G Ethernet Network Adapter
4x AOC 10Gtek AOC-S1S1-003
3x CAB 10Gtek CAB-10GSFP-P1M

I have ordered 2x MikroTik SFP+ 5m Active Optics Direct Attach Cable to continue testing I'm sure we will see the same results

Share your configs please, /export hide-sensitive

Also this shouldn't be in the SwOS forum since I imagine you are running RouterOS and not SwOS?

I see you are just using the default exactly pretty much. But this switch is connected to a router, yes? What about the router config?

To test the switch properly you should be doing testing without going through a router - do a speed test between two computers going through the switch with iperf3. That way you aren't possibly introducing other unrelated problems that are botching your test.

6.45.7 is new, and I would generally suggest people use the long-term release in most cases instead of the "stable" for production environments.

Also I hope that you are updating your firmware too, not only the RouterOS version. If you are only updating RouterOS you might be behind on the firmware updates.

I'm happy to perform any test to continue troubleshooting these issues. I have done point to point file transfers before with similar results some ports perform well with high throughput and low ping and others with low through put and high loss

So first thing, make sure your firmware is upgraded, not only the RouterOS version, otherwise you may be troubleshooting phantom bugs that should have been fixed.

Second if everything is updated is to unplug the switch from everything and do port to port speed tests with only two computers plugged in on 10Gbps links, using iperf3.

All MiktoTik equipment we are using has v6.45.7 as the OS and the Boards firmware updated and we tested with 6.44.6 and 7.0B3 all came back with the same results and same issues. Also all equipment was factor reset with minimum changes to make the network usable.

That said tomorrow we will test with iperf3 and report our finding.

OK. One other question, how is the switch connected to the router? What port on the router is going to what port on the switch? Are you using a DAC cable for that or something else and if so, what?

CCRs is connected via the SFP + port connected to the CRS SFP + port 1 as configured as a Lan bridge. And all their Network equipment connects off of the 10-gig switch through SFP + ports. We have multiple aoc's and dacs test results don't vary depending on what we use both come back the same results. Normal scenario we use all AOC or all DAC and don't mix and match on the network not that should have any impact. I have not tried running the tests off of a SFP+ to 10gb ethernet yet as the test didn't change between AOC and the DAC I didn't bother SFP+ to ether net.

OK, was just making sure that you were not trying to plug into one of the regular SFP (instead of SFP+) ports on the CCR.

You'll have to do the iperf3 tests on the switch by itself. I use this switch model at the core of an ISP doing about 1Gbps traffic and do not have loss or any performance issues.

Re: v6.45.7 SFP+ speed and package issues  [SOLVED]

Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:26 pm

Issue resolved!

Found the issues to be the use of a MikroTik compatible DAC cable that was not compatible with the NIC. So I switched out the SFP Transceivers. Issue solved

Mind blown...

Thanks for all the help and every ones time!

Issue resolved!

Found it to be the Aquantia AQtion SFP+ NIC cards.

Suspect a compatibility issue with either the SFPs that are Mikrotik compatible or between the Mikrotik and Aquantia.

Mind blown...

Thanks for all the help and every ones time!
This issue could be caused by the CRS317 being picky about what it connects to. When connected to the CRS328 my CRS317 the link is flapping with lots of FCS and RX errors. Are the links to your CRS328 stable (check the link down counter for the interface to the CRS328)?
Are the Aquantia's stable when you connect them to the CRS328 SFP+ ports?
