Hello,

http://routerboard.com/RB3011UiAS-RM

Could you provide official information about the IPsec performance?

Mon Nov 23, 2015 4:51 pm

im interested in ipsec topic too

Looks very promising device, althought I'm more waiting the desktop version, hopefully its coming soon too..

Few questions:
-ipsec performance (hw crypto?)
-NAND size
-MetaROUTER ability
-Lane between cpu & switch chips

Thank you in advance.

As soon as I get a couple of them for our lab, i'll do an IPSEC test until the magic blue smoke comes put and let you know where the breaking point is.

Can't wait to get my hands on some

Thank you in advance.

Tue Nov 24, 2015 6:11 pm

Looks very nice. Also the lane between the switches to be able to make a big switch or offload one of the main lines to cpu if necessary would be awesome.

according to this

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7526/qual ... nd-ipq8062

the ipq8064 have 10g of available bandwidth, maybe the traffic between switches will not be too tasking, maybe a bypass feature can help.

well see

Tue Nov 24, 2015 6:25 pm

... And from the picture it seems that the psu could fit in the box. Would be useful too.

Tue Nov 24, 2015 6:34 pm

looking the performance comparison I see the numbers of rb3011 behind the expected for that cpu, for example its "only" 2.5x the hEX performance when the cpu performance its at least 4.0x

i think the performance have much room for improvement, because its a new cpu architecture and new vendor specific functionalities

It happens also with about 10% of my dynadish5 units. Sometimes it was enough to turn off then on the unit and reinstall firmware, sometimes I had to netinstall.

Brightstar · Wed Dec 02, 2015 2:26 pm

Just received two, thanks linitx

One thing of note, repartition. Doesn't appear to work, has anyone else been able to repartition the RB3011?

Brightstar · Wed Dec 02, 2015 2:45 pm

Just received two RB3011 and struggling to repartition them to have two partitions.

It accepts the commands either via terminal or winbox, reboots fine but after a reboot there is still only one partition.

Anyone else tried repartitioning?

tealc · Wed Dec 16, 2015 11:12 am

I just want to add, USERMANAGER is not working on 3011, confirmed by support.

Mikrotik has been very polite and gave me L5 license for old-trashed-in-drawer 750G device which I must use for userman until release of ROS 7 (should have UM for 3011 according to support e-mail conversation).

I also get a lots of interface warnings "xxx excessive or late collision, link duplex mismatch?" on eth1 and eth2.
Can't find a pattern.
ethe1 is secondary gw (backup internet connected to ISP 100mbit router), and eth2 is connected to community network (951G with 1Gbps). All devices on the path are auto-negotiate.
Not critical, but makes You be on alert

Eitherway, rock and stable device, and I managed to effortlessly mount it inside one RB2011-UiAS case which I had in drawers (only needed to cut case front foil a little bit for large USB3 port)

cantanko · Thu Dec 17, 2015 7:20 pm

Not at all scientific, but I've had IPSec running on the bench between an RB1100AHx2 and an RB3011UiAS-RM using the following IPSec proposal:

auth-algorithms=sha256 enc-algorithms=aes-256-cbc name=strongish pfs-group=modp4096

When traffic is passing with the RB3011 doing most of the encrypting, I see ~77Mbit; with the RB3011 doing most of the decrypting, this increases to ~90MBit...

This was done with a pair of linux boxes directly-connected, one to each RouterBoard, pulling a web page in each direction exclusively, i.e. simplex traffic, no firewall rules and a simple route on each end.

Saturated duplex traffic seemed to hover around ~44Mbit.

This leads me to the fact that, clock for clock, the performance is slightly more efficient than the MIPS in the RB2011, but not massively so... I guess the Qualcomm encryption accelerator hasn't been turned on yet in RouterOS...

RB1100 is still a monster when it comes to IPSec!

Oh, and WinBox still bails when communicating via MAC address when the target RouterBoard's CPU reaches 100%...

As I say, not scientific in any way but it gave me a ballpark to work with

Hello,

I would be interested to install this at home as main router, in case its WAN to LAN speed is enough to fully take advantage of my 1 Gbps internet connection.

Could somebody please help me test that using a PPOE WAN connection?

Thanks!

Zorro · Fri Dec 18, 2015 5:27 pm

you shouldn't expect much from IPQ chips in terms of Cipher offoading/acceleration, simply because "there is not enough silicon, used to be useable", but instead - chip Will support FastFath Very Well and will become Faster in many respects with appropriate support from ROS. basic forwarding, firewall, VLAN, endpoint security - anything Will be faster in result).
later IPQ and IPC chips will be beffier and provide more interesting results/throughput, perhaps.
im Especially curious about new ARM chips, based on A35 cores, which WIll become new entry and mid-level Best-Seller among Router SoC, perhaps.
and fat many-core SoC on A72 cores and A53 cores - become cornerstone until Armv9 come.
MIPS32 and MIPS64 SoC will be updated too, but since they had Longer(nearly year to 1.5 year difference with ARM) "time-to market" delay, their products/feats become outdates sometimes even before hit market. same about newer PowePC chips, but new PPC8 chips that replace E6500 cores in FreeScale line for example - can be very iteresting, for example.

websun · Sat Dec 19, 2015 12:00 pm

I am getting 78 Mb/s with openvpn on this model.
Algorithm is aes 128 cbc

The CPU on the other hand is maxed out, and only core0. Core1 is free like a bird, so somebody needs to look into multithreading

Otherwise the router works very well apart from the vlan to bridge and bond complexity

you can use built-in BTest features, 3rd-part software(inlcuding commercial packages)or simply check 3011 page about "performance test results"(scroll down to read it).
http://routerboard.com/RB3011UiAS-RM for RM-encased 3011 version, for example.
PPoE had (relatively)low overhead (compared to VPN endpoints)so you can ~ approximate/guess thing bout, but aside that - its strongly depend of Kind and type of traffic you expect to generate over it. generally its better to test before.
if you looke for "short/dumb answer" i think its more like "yes" and achievable throughput over PPoE is relatively close to 1Gbps, but for usual/sane configurations its Had to be lower. so if you aiming to Really stress 1Gbps uplink, perhaps CCR1009 would be better start.
IPQ chips/SoC aimed to SOHO devices and never meant to provide "something outstanding" in terms of performance.

adn2377 · Mon Dec 21, 2015 12:13 pm

Thank you for your answer. The absolute value is very low, but I don't have the necessary knowledge to estimate what the difference would be for a simple internet connection (so no VPN) and with no encryption.

When you have the time, do you think you could test it under those conditions?

Thank you for your answer. I do not own this machine, the question was addressed in order to know whether I will want to buy it or not. I did look on the generic test data present on the RouterBoard page for the 3011, but like you said yourself it is better to test before... I've seen routers that are very powerful in terms of WAN to LAN capability when connected to "normal" WAN connection, but when used with PPOE they give very poor comparative results.

Related to CCR1009, since this will be a home router and the CCR1009 has a cost almost 4 times bigger, it does not qualify for the needed scenario

XoCinek · Mon Dec 21, 2015 9:41 pm

Little out of VPN topis but does anyone expriened some strange behaviour in RB3011?

We changed RB750GL for RB3011 for few days. The same input/output traffic, the same vlans, bridges, etc, etc, etc.

And ... on RB3011 we had ... 5-10% packet losses. Nothing changes, than device.

Look at this smokeping

smoke_smoke.klienci.klib_1221203351_10d.png

And the same for last 30 hours.

smoke_smoke.klienci.klib_1221204359_30h.png

Always some little losses, 0.01% - 0.5% - normal in that exact environment. Latency 0,2ms-0,8ms on RB750GL

Than, on Dec 18 changed to RB3011, and ... BIG losses. Nice 0,2ms latency but BIG packet loses.

Traffic about 150 Mbps, cameras only. On RB750GL we get about 90% CPU, on RB3011 about 10%

It is something what could be called ... hickup

Working, working, working few seconds ... hick
Working, working, working few seconds ... hick
Working, working, working few seconds ... hick

Seriously, have no other words to name it

Today we had to change device from RB3011 back to RB750GL

Any ideas?

OH yes, one more info: RouterOS 6.33.3 on both RB750GL and RB3011

Zorro · Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:58 am

IPQ8064/8062 use Krait 300 cores, ie improved, but very tiny and Slooooow ARM-A9 cores, which ought to be replaced by A35 and A53 respectively in low and mid-level SoC for networking very soon.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7526/qual ... nd-ipq8062
my point is: don't expect much from "commodity"-grade, inexpensive chips. they do their job, they don't consume or cost much, but thats all advantages they may had, aside simpler PCB design, perhaps.

I've been running one with the same RouterOS version for about a week, with peaks over 400 Mbps without packet loss. Have you tried using a different port to rule out a defective ethernet interface?

picacho99 · Fri Dec 25, 2015 2:02 pm

My updated feedback on RB3011: I'm testing it with a release candidate, the version v6.34rc23
- I removed a bridge on top of my configuration and everything works smoth....
- Now the CPU handling the TCP/IP stream never goes higher than 65% saturating a a fiber connection of 300 Mbits, while online games and IPTV working concurrently in the LAN.
- No more strange messages related to too many broadcast or colissions randomly fired on any ethernet interface (local and uplink side....).
- Before too many packets lost in the LAN side...ping an also IPTV randomly showing artifacts...now everything ok.

Despite I'm really using only one of the two switches...a lot more happy.

Merry Christmas

Zorro · Sun Dec 27, 2015 12:40 pm

its too Young device to torture it with RC firmware. especially in "production" installations, NOT in test-builds/labs.
in my opinion 3 months is mandatory to see toolchain matured enough for new SoC to try RC's on them.
and RB3011 build on Enteriely new Arch(ARM !!!). which imply troubles for hardware designers/software developers in Much bigger scale than usually and amount of work and time spend on - too, eventually.

sui13 · Sun Dec 27, 2015 2:22 pm

Could anyone provide info about OSPF or BGP support for this model?

Thanks in advance!

picacho99 · Sun Dec 27, 2015 11:03 pm

My feedback is open and available for anybody that may be interested. If you are right, Mikrotik has lied his customer base because started selling a piece of crap, and I don't believe this is the case.

This young device now is working like a charm, at least, for me. ARM platform only means more raw processing power horse than the platforms used in rb2011 or the rb850x2...

RouterOS is not tipically know to capitalize or benefit from silicon facilities (nat handlers, accelerators,. etc.) but raw CPU power horse. Of course there are exceptions for some specific platforms...these than MIkrotik can afford.

And finally: yes, I'm (really) used to write unix and linux kernel code and drivers...this is only to save some of your time on illustrative comments...

RouterOS seats on top of a linux kernel but in the other side linux kernels for RB3011 CPU platfroms are really stable...so we have to let Mikrotik work on this branch of their RouterOS...

Despite the fact that there is a plenty of space for it. Maybe it's cheaper solution.

kiler129 · Mon Jan 18, 2016 2:54 pm

I personally think it's not about space or money, but about huge amount of paperwork and extra certification efforts to put power supply inside.

Mon Jan 18, 2016 4:12 pm

A. Cetrification should be processed in each country where MT sells
B. Some countries have rules , as in Poland, that devices which have PSU inside and 230V connector as a part of a chasis could be repaired/opened only by cerified electricians.
C. Same rules say that such devices should be periodically checked and labelled with some kind of "safe" sticker.

its simply not practical or safe even in SOHO environment. yes its bit "messier" and bulkier, less "sexy-looking", but its more Practical thing. and usually - cheaper and more reliable solution, btw.

tealc · Thu Jan 28, 2016 5:26 pm

@Zorro MikroTik gives a very usable alternative, POE in. I have to admit that I started to like thoose much more than either built-in or external PSU. Especially in rack applications. Anyone who teared down rack because of faulty PSU (in switch for example) exactly knows what I mean

It is a good hardware, but the external small power adapter, it's a shame.
All normal rack mount (ex. tplink, etc.) gigabit switch has internal PSU, and normal pc power cable.
Even this is a router and not a small switch.
I see on the right side of the 3011 case is a place for power plug, I hope the new production batch will have internal PSU.

I bet it will require RouterBOOT update and I think it's not high-priority task since almost noone shutdowns routers

I'm truly interested in your use-case for that.

Mon Feb 01, 2016 4:28 pm

It was already officially stated that all routerboards are safe to be cut off from the power. Making shutdown leads routerboards to the state in which they cannot be switched on in other way than power recycling. Therefore shut down has sense only for pc or virtualized versions of ros.

Mon Feb 01, 2016 4:33 pm

My RB3011 reboots within 30 seconds after trying to shutdown it from Winbox

Yes, all RouterBOARDs will do this, it is not a bug per-se, it is more something like unsupported feature. Device needs to be disconnected from power to turn off completely. If you don't unplug it, it will start again. Shutdown command is not required, it is quite safe to just unplug it.

kiler129 · Mon Feb 01, 2016 7:30 pm

Shutdown command is not required, it is quite safe to just unplug it.

Isn't a shutdown command only useful while running with external storage for e.g. proxy? Cutting power may damage filesystem on it since it's r/w.

I bet it will require RouterBOOT update and I think it's not high-priority task since almost noone shutdowns routers
I'm truly interested in your use-case for that.

Before today I always thought that I should and I must shutdown Mikrotik router before unplug power supply (PS).
Where can I read that unplugging power source is quite safe for Mikrotik if it does not write on external disk drive?

If it is safe why after such unplugging we have RED WARNINGS in log?

What happens with Mikrotik's internal store while unplugging PS in moment of writing log's entry?

Filesystems designed for flash & routers are simple and resistant. If you cut the power in the middle of write you'll lose last write (that's how journaling filesystem works). Giving the fact that these filesystem are WAY simpler than e.g. ext4 you can safely unplug the power. Also applications are written in a way to deal with such situations.
I think the only exception is external harddrive - if you have some full fledged filesystem & running advanced web proxy you generally be better if you unmount filesystem or remount it r/o before unplugging.

I seen information about "cutting the cord" being safe for ROS somewhere in wiki. Also @normis, who works in MT, said that many times

Red warning in MT log serve different purpose. It may be misleading for beginners, but in fact you should know MT is generally professional network equipment. In home we often don't care if router rebooted in the middle of the night - in HA environments it's very important information (having router lose connection for few seconds is not an emergency, but sudden reboot may be sign for something bad).
So in summary these log entries are to inform about sudden reboots.

Btw. I think about auto boot after 30s after shutdown as a safety feature in fact. If you accidentally shutdown AP with battery backup on high mast you'll be thanking for it (and yes, I'm talking from my own experience

).

Yes, all RouterBOARDs will do this, it is not a bug per-se, it is more something like unsupported feature. Device needs to be disconnected from power to turn off completely. If you don't unplug it, it will start again. Shutdown command is not required, it is quite safe to just unplug it.

Hi, if safe why the log complains about impropper shutdown? Maybe the message needs to be changed.

Thank you very much for extended explanations. Now I understand.

On paper sounds brilliant. Execution not so great though and MT support don't seem to be able to answer this;

Hi!

Sorry for my bad English.
Is this hardware is good and stable? The 2x1,4GHz ARM CPU sounds good but it is the first ARM based hardware router on the Mikrotik repertoire as I know.
Can somebody write his experience with this device?

Thanks!

kiler129 · Fri Apr 15, 2016 6:01 am

It has some problems with mysterious false-positive loop detection, but other than that it's good.

Thanks your answer!
What is the false-positive loop detection problem exactly? I never heard about this problem.

Thank you I read this topic. I think even I'm waiting a few months to purchase... This is a new architecture. The Mikrotik still have to work on it.

I am interested in using the 3011 device. Would be interesting for me too when the bug is fixed. Thanks

Hi,

Anyone tested OVPN throughput when using aes-256?

Thanks!

I've just got my RB3011, and it seems that USB port isn't working. Modem starts to blink, but no LTE interface appears. USB flash drives are not visible too. Is it a hardware problem? Should I replace the device?

umatrix · Mon Jun 13, 2016 11:50 am

With the latest software update 6.36rc28 my RB3011 doesn't see any usb devices. With current version it works fine.

I can confirm. I tried with several USB device and does not work on 6.36rc28. All works fine in 6.35.4

We replicated problem and we will fix this issue with RB3011 and usb.

Hi,
have anybody tested RB3011UiAS-RM with shared drive connected on USB 3.0 port for SMB or Widows share performance ?
Which speed are you getting ?

I only had an USB2 HDD, got 30mb/s on SMB.

did the encryption hw acceleration ever get turned on for this model?

No this requires a kernel newer than the 3.3 that RouterOS v6 uses.

Your best bet is to use a CCR1009, RB1100AHx4 or RB750Gr3

what about flapping 6-10 ports of 3011?

IPsec accelerator (HW acceleration) RB3011UiAS-RM ???
Когда, сколько ждать?
When, how long to wait?

IPsec accelerator support for RB3011 is still being worked on, the HW acceleration is not yet supported for this model. The CPU is much faster than RB2011 even without HW accelerator.
But HW acceleration will be supported in the near future?
We are working on it, yes.

isbiyanto · Thu Sep 21, 2017 1:56 pm

how many nand have your rb3011??

I have RB3011UiAS-RM with CPU Frequency is empty. It's bug or something wrong with my RB?

Thanks.

After one year what about HW encryption acceleration?
