Glad to see there is still development for this version.

How do you set this ?

Never mind, found it. Disable autonegotiation and then you can select.

Follow up:
On CSS610 I set an S+RJ10 to forced 2.5Gb, connected to ether1 of AX3 using VLAN trunk.
Link becomes active. So far so good.
On AX3 log files I see it determines speed as being 2.5Gb, which is ok however ...nothing passes (after the facts I can see in log files what happened).
Only when I enable autonegotiation, I can get access via that link.

Am I missing something ?

You should probably disable Auto Negotiation and fix it at 2.5Gbps on AX3 ether1 too...

When setting speed fixed on AX3 -> No Link on CSS610, both with auto and no autonegotiation.
Also visible on AX3, ether lights go out for that port.

When auto negotiation is disabled you often need a crossover cable. Auto-crossover is often also disabled if auto negotiation is disabled

I understand what you say but I don't understand why that would be needed... doesn't make sense from a practical point of view.
Auto MDX is something from the previous century !

Anyhow, SUP-146041 created. Let's see what support says about it.

Actually I believe onnoossendrijver is correct, modern ethernet controllers use standard IEEE 802.3ab auto negotiation protocol to automatically determine MDI, speed and duplex and for a practical standpoint it makes perfect sense, and once you disable auto negotiation you must use crossover cable...

Got response from support.
Some info provided both from CSS610 and AX3.

In parallel I ordered some CAT6 cross-convertor plugs.
We'll see ...

Final ordeal:
it's (again) S-RJ10 acting up. It can not be controlled to set lower speed.

Which revision of S-RJ10 are you using? There is a Rev 2
Read about it

It is Rev 2.
That module will adjust on its own to lower speed when needed (e.g. when connected to 2.5G port of AX3) but it can not be configured to do so (e.g. when connecting 2 S-RJ10 to each other and not wanting full 10G because it will burn your fingers).

Yeah they get really hot.
I've read that they need to be set at a fixed speed.

Can you try this on RouterOS also if you have CRS somewhere?

Good to see more development, I'm running a few Netpower Lite 7R devices currently at 2.17.
Please consider feature requests for new releases:
- option to not save all config changes immediately, instead keep them only in RAM, and have a separate "Save" button (this way previous working config can be restored by reboot/power-cycle if you lost access due to wrong change)
- option to reboot (optionally including power-cycling the PoE powered device) after some number of failures to get IP address by DHCP, to recover from wrong config change or hung uplink radio without power-cycle (tricky to do with reverse-PoE redundant power from multiple customers)

If I go to the hosts screen... after about 20 seconds I get this at the top of the screen.

ERROR: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'

O..K ...it took a LOT longer then 20 seconds (just left the window open while I was doing something else).
Now I see it as well.

It is always a good practice to refresh the page to avoid these kind of errors...

I was about to update a CSS610-8P. When I go to update it doesn't show the 2.18 firmware.

Did something change or get taken down?

https://cdn.mikrotik.com/swoslite/css61 ... i-2.18.bin
Gives me a 503 error

EDIT

Went back to the Switch and Hit Upgrade and it found the upgrade and installed it.

For some reason Chrome won't load the page now... but I need to look into that some more.

I can confirm the syntax error in the Hosts tab after upgrade to 2.18. Fresh Netpower Lite 7R device (default config) upgraded from factory 2.13 firmware. Tried two different browsers (Firefox and Supermium), I've never seen this error in 2.17 or older. Refreshing the page doesn't change anything, and actually Supermium shows the error when freshly started accessing the upgraded device (it was upgraded using Firefox) for the first time.

EDIT: Downgraded to 2.17 - https://cdn.mikrotik.com/swoslite/css61 ... 0-2.17.bin - link edited from 2.18 (fortunately it works, as I haven't seen a "download archive" web page for SwOS/Lite, only for RouterOS). Hosts table displayed just fine, no more syntax errors in both browsers.

I have the CSS610-8P and CSS610-8G models.

Also... I have ICMP ping set up in netwatch to the CSS610-8P.

Every once in a while it will miss more than 2 of the 5 pings. I get an error note on the router as that's where netwatch is running, which is directly connected to the switch.

But since CSS has no logs... I can't track that.

I have 4 CSS610-8P out there at this point. They all do this.

Are the missing pings new with 2.18, and fixed by downgrade to 2.17? (warning: can't downgrade lower than 2.17 without losing config because of changed config file format - sadly still not hashing the login password, so let's hope for another incompatible change soon).

Over a month has passed and still no fix to that 2.18 syntax error bug? Makes hosts table useless. I'm running 2.17 and waiting for a fix.
