Dear all,

I have a server with core 2 duo processor. I install my server with mikrotik v 3.0rc5. I see on the system-resource that the cpu count is "2". But why if i install my server with mikrotik v 3.0 or 3.1, the cpu count shows just "1". Any suggest?? Cause i have see on the changelog mikrotik and there isn't some indication of that.

Thank you.

Regards,


Ferry

The multi CPU setting is set to OFF by default on the newer releases...

I think that SOME systems were having issues with the multi core function, so to make the system more stable and for initial testing the choice was made to turn the multi CPU function off by default.

It can be enabled (I think it us under the system menu (CLI) I dont think it is available under GUI..

Search the forums an I remember seeing it posted exactly where to turn it on..

I would test this function in development first.

Craig.

1. /system hardware set multi-cpu=yes
2. /system reboot

Dear all,


it works. nice job Cyra-Orin.thx

It Rocks !!!! ROS v 3.2, on DG31PR + E 6550 CORE 2 DUO + 1GB RAM. Runing on SATA to compact flash adapter a L5 licence. . Must validate 400+ users.

We have had mixed experiences with dual-core and SMP in general. We have had some users running hundreds of mbit though dual core enabled systems without issues. We have had customers running later version of RC with dual core on again, with no issues.

We then had some customers running 5 meg traffic plus web-proxy and the units would crash. Had other users running 600+ PPPoE sessions and it would crash.

Mirkrotik has confirmed this to be a problem, and normally they would not modify the kernel,but they are looking into the problem themselves.

It is a crap shoot, but we have seen significant performance increase in SMP systems, just haven't been able to reliably use it as of yet.

MY suggestion, is if you don't need any of the new features and you want the max power out of dual-core or multi-processor systems, then run 2.9. It won't get you everything, but it will run and run great. 3.x will run with one CPU and will preform about what you expect, a bit over 50% of what it would if dual cores are enabled.

Once SMP is fixed 100% though, look out!

It's realy rocks I have now 8 procesors look at the picture..

May i know the cpu-usage before and after upgrade ?

3000 clients behind NAT?

Are you buying IPs for $10/a piece? Or what?

Jesus.

Before this was 100% , I am attaching a pictures to see it the cpu is Intel 3000Mhz
I think somebody will take a lesson from this

sry for the english

No just in our country is not so easy to arange such kind of things

This is same hardware or different ?

I see the cpu freq between 2 picture is different, 2992 and 1600 Mhz

There is File comment's

Did you share the network load into 3 NICs or just 1 NICs ?

no i use just one for now , how have you done it ?

Dear Mr Byzone
can you say how you use 8 cpu in one mother board??????!!!!!!

Dear normis
I have a Dell Pc Optiplex 320L
CPU 3200Mhz
Memory 1GB
can use this pc? Please if can say and advice me???!

We now have a PoweRouter 2242 and 2282. Differences is in number of cores. 4 or 8 cores. Up to 22 GigE ports. All tested with MT.

It's grate , i am so bad in the hardware and software info , can u explain me with what this router will be bether than this machine with the 2 Xeons - (2x Intel Clovertown E5310 1.60GHz 8M cache, 1066FSB, Quad core) the machine was cost to me $1900.00 i am watching now the old PowerRouter 732 is $1,399.00 , and the new PowerRouter 2242 ot 82 have to be more than $2000..
With what PowerRouter is better? than a hardware rackmount pc + MT
Sry for the english , when i was a liitle i didnt love the school so mutch

PoweRouters are like Router boards, hardened industrial appliances. There are many reason including better support, simplified purchasing and building, known support etc. Industrial devices are always going to be more expensive than a "PC" visit the website and shoot me a e-mail off list and we can discuses more. sales@mikrotikrouter.com

I see the PowerRouter 732 has been tested upto 5.9gbps throughput with a single 3Ghz P4 dual-core CPU. What sort of figures are you seeing on your system and also what are we likely to expect from the 2242 and 2282 with regards routable throughput?

Can anybody say how is the way to authenticate so many users ?

Dr. byzon. Contact with me please. my email mefistoff@gmail.com. I have a qestions to you.

With the latest release being 3.14 what is the word on multi-core processors?

I am using in 2 different machines with SMP enabled. No problems so far.

to byzon
the 25% CPU load mean 100% load. this is a bug or maybe feature in mikrotik OS that use only one core (even if multi-cpu: yes, maybe its only for PPPoE?). I'm using mikrotik for PPPoE server. Tested all version from 3.0 to 4.2 - all the same. Then hardware is dual core processor, like Core 2 Duo, you can see max 50% CPU load. If it some 4 core processor like Xeon - there is 25% CPU load max.

I have a questions for you about your configuration. Mail me kosykh@ya.ru
I can reach the 1300 PPPoE users max in my router. How you reach a 4500?????

btw, byzon was here almost 2 years ago...

could any one else help in this question?

it's not only in PPPoE. serious multicore optimizations are expected in RouterOS v5 or v6
