We would also like to inform you that the manufacturing of RB532 (32MB RAM) has been discontinued and this model of RouterBOARD is not available anymore.

Edit: Only the RB532(with 32MB RAM) has been discontinued. The RB532A(with 64MB RAM) will continue to be manufactured.

So 802.3af is supported again after the rb192,rb133/c & rb333 not supporting more than 28v.
And it doesn't support less than 38V on POE? I'm not going to be able to standardize on one power supply ever again

Hopefully the Gigabit ports are more stable than the ones on the rb44G.

impressive..
It would be good for them to support 2.9x instead of only 3.0 .. im scared to give the new ros 3.0 a try after the bugs i read on the forum..

Nevertheless, 4mpci and 400mhz rocks...

PowerPC architecture so will never be supported under 2.9.

I'm very pleased to see full 802.3af support, now we should be able to pull power from an 802.3af switch. Well done MT!!

Hi,

I'm wondering wether 4 cards on one board in one housing can
work without interfering each other.

RB600 would give the possibility to handle one uplink and
3 120degree sectors in one box.

Does this make sense using 5GHz?

Stefan

The IEEE 802.3af standard supports delivery of Power over Ethernet up to 15.4W per port that may be used to deliver power to a variety of devices (figure 1.) The IEEE 802.3af standard also defines the concept of power classes including a reserved class that may be extended to support increased power delivery to PDs in the future. As an example, this class may be expanded to support the power requirements of a laptop PC that typically draws much more than the 15.4W currently allowed for within IEEE 802.3af.

So your POE switch may not be able to power this device.

Not happy they are discontinuing RB532 because of this.
Atleast give us 6 months of a known working product before such is done.
Right now we don't have a replacement for RB532 that is 100% tried and true in the field
RB333 and RB600 are NOT at that point yet.

SMA

They only discontinued the RB532 and not the RB532A.

<< They only discontinued the RB532 and not the RB532A. >>

Oh...good...whew...

Thanx...

SMA

They only discontinued the RB532 and not the RB532A.

Even so it would still make sense that as these new boards are V3 only that they didn't discontinue products that work in favour of ones that are still at an RC stage.

shame,
look what froogle brings for rb600

What happened to the 600-666mhz cpu? Will using this board for a wireless bridge actually be better than a 532?

Well. I'll tomorrow install my first RB600 in a important location, where was 532 before. Wish me luck.

What do those numbers indicate? pps? mbit/s?

that is pps , u have to calculate mbit... I wonder why!

because of test method, we get test resaults in pps, so we post them as is.

Hi all

This is perhaps off topic, but I decided to ask anyway due to the fact that the RB600 specs are being discussed over here.

What I need to know, is wheter you can install MT on a CF using the RB600. I have tried this with an RB532A, it didn't work, I contacted MT support and they said it won't, as the board was designed in such a way that MTROS can only be run from the NAND.

What I ideally would like to do, is to install MTv3.1 level6 on a CF, and use the second CF slot for Usermanager data. The main and most important reason for this is in order to run the UM off a 12VDC battery backup.

Our South African power provider ran into magor problems and apparently we'll have to live with these problems for years to come. Some days we have power outages for 2 to 4 hours in one go, usually at the peak hours for business. Our entire system is on battery backup, highsites, core routers, switches, PSTN routers etc, only UM is not.

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Regards, Giepie

no, RouterOS can only be installed on a NAND

The main and most important reason for this is in order to run the UM off a 12VDC battery backup.

NAND and CF take about the same amount of power I am guessing... and neither of those take power directly, it's the routerboard itself. Whats the goal ?

Hi changeip

The point is not what uses less power, I just mentioned my reason for wanting to run UM off a RB and not on a PC.

1) I need to have UM running off a RB600 - (for power backup reasons. RB run off 12VDC, Desktop PC does not)
2) I need to have MT/UM running off a CF - (NAND does not have enough space for user DB and logs)

So my question is, WILL MT RUN OFF A CF ON A RB600?

Like I said, with RB532/A it does NOT work.

Thanks for the help!

G

we will make it possible to store UM DB and other data on the CF. booting from it will not be possible

Hi Normis

Thanks for the info.

I was really hoping it might work with the new ROS.

Could you perhaps tell me by which version it would be possible to save UM DB to CF?

Hi,
i'm also looking foreward of storing the UM database on a CF card.
Is it already possible?
Or, if not, when will it be?

Thanks in advance

Heiko

Hi Heiko

You should perhaps follow this thread too:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 59#p118659

Apparently the new UM would have many new features, but it sounds like it has more to do with the GUI.

Mikrotik really like keeping us in despense! At least they never dissapoint us!

Hi Giepie,
Thanks for the tip ;o)

the only thing i really suffer from is the small harddisk-space and the missing feature to store the database and the logs on a CF card.


Good night

Aparently one of the new features of the new UM is to save your DB to another drive. I honestly can't wait!

G

Hi "G" ;o)

...but you either don't know in which decade the new version will be released, don't you?

I too a look on the RadMan. apart from their strict licensing and the encrypted php code, it has not alle the features UM has. Not forget the great advantage to run UM from a powersaving RouterBoard..

All we can do is "sit'n'wait"

Have a nice time!
