Dear Members,

Could you kindly share with us the feedback or review of this product?

I have just ordered 1 unit from roc-noc and if the tests is well ... we are going replace all our x86 mikrotik with this model of product!

I am mainly looking forward to see

1. what you dont like about it
2. what you like about it
3. BGP handling or routing Performance

Thanks!

Hi Dobby,

I have ordered 1 unit and waiting for it.

So your experience is good or bad?

Thanks!

Anyone ready to give a review now that it's been release ?

Hi

The only thing I can say at the moment is: Experiences are different... Some have a lot of problems (hang/reboot), others don't. We don't see any problems running four BGP peers and some EoIP and L2TP Tunnels over our 1036 (in the Lab), but we just test the functions we need in our Network others may not work proprerly.

Even though we don't see problems at the moment, the software is in beta phase (some would say alpha ) so I would not recommend to run these devices in a production environment at the moment.

Thanks

I've read most of the cloud core router topic which is 15 pages at the time if this post , seems your getting better support on updated ROS than other manufacturers.

I bought a Draytek Vigor3900 which is slighty more in price than a CCR1036-12G-4S
The Cloud Core looks to be a beast of a router , was considering in it I'm due time when more people are satisfied with its development

Basically management wants me to replace the current router around June , as the current one lags and has issues that are intermittent.

They want the CCR1036-12G-4S

What do you plan to run on this router? BGP, OSPF, Firewall or VPN? What are the bandwidth requirements?
Since fast path isn't ready, you will not get as much Mbps out of this router as Mikrotik announces, if you plan to use the firewall. But if the bandwidth requirements are not in the multi gigabit region and you do just some BGP between the CCR and your peers I think you might be ok. But that's just my personal opinion and no guarantee.

The longer you don't need to upgrade, the bigger the chances are, that everything works like it should. I will not upgrade our existing routers until Mikrotik announces RouterOS v6 as stable and other people have made good experiences.

I'm waiting till v6 is stable

Looks like good place for my 1000th post

I have 6 CCRs - 3 in the network, 3 in the lab to play with.

I strongly suggest to get at least one device and play with it before the deployment. Only you know exact config you will need and only you can test set of features together with your amount and type of traffic. I have reported many support tickets this way, almost all of them were fixed, rest was explained/work-around-ed.

Currently (with RC13) all my CCR1036 are over-performing all RB1100AHx2 i had 3-10 times, and with price tag 2x more than RB1100AHx2 i'm satisfied.
There are list of features that MikroTik promised to improve, so picture going to be only better and better

As far as route management - it is one of the features MikroTik promised to improve upon. Currently BGP full feed initial loading takes up to 2min on CCR1036, other than that i have no complains about routing.

I have 15 CCR already in production, and a few more in lab.

They run smoothly for my purposes:
- Routing (<1Gbps), IPv4 & IPv6
- BGP
- OSPF
- Firewall

Two of them are currently configured as Route Reflectors. 2 full-view BGP peers and ~50 RR clients. BGP processing became very slow as I added various RR clients. With all set up, one core is running close to 100% while others are down to 1 - 3%. With all these BGP peers configured, a full view (~450K routes) take about 20 minutes to be installed and propagated. It's quite slower than expected, but for now we can live with it, supposing that it will get improoved in the future.

I am getting more than 1 month uptime, interrupted only by firmware upgrades.

Hi
We have just deployed out first CCR1036-12G-4S in the field as a core router to replace our Ogma Connect 2000U that died in the storms.
So far we are very impressed. Throughput is good CPU usage low ans is defiantly an improvement over the OC2000U so far.
Only deployed 4 days ago so will keep you guys posted on how it holds up.
