Shameless bump!!

I have looked all over the internet for direction, but nothing!

I have seen the feature in the release notes to "run startup scripts on the first boot on AWS and Google Cloud installations", however, I cannot find instructions on how to do this. I have various CHR in AWS and would like to fully automate them using AWS CloudFormation or similar, and wou...

Hi all, I have a MIK and Cisco device that have IP connectivity between them. I have a GRE tunnel configured between them and they have full connectivity on the outside and inside the tunnels. Everything pings fine. On the MIK end, I need the GRE tunnel to be inside a VRF as I am expecting lots of o...

I am having the very same issue. GRE in the "main" routing table works fine. When I put the main interface and the GRE interface into the VRF, everything drops.

Is there something with pre-routing or post-routing to kick this into life?

Thanks.

Well, that seems to have worked. More importantly, the interfaces are using HW-OFFLOAD which was the reason for me moving to the RC. Still, I am confused about similar (if not same) configurations in both SWITCH and BRIDGE with regards to VLAN and PORTS/INTERFACES. Surely I am not the only one confu...

Aha. Thanks very much. I shall give this a go after backing everything up and reverting to ROS. ROS seems very powerful for L3, but complex (too complex for simple tasks) for L2. Saying that, I am only comparing to many years of Cisco where the configuration takes care of a lot under the hood! Will ...

Thanks for the reply. I have read those particular documents several times which has helped me get this far with L2 on the CRS317. However, there is nothing that jumps out at me that says that I would not be able to add a new VLAN to specific ports on the RC. Is there something in particular you can...

Hi all,

Testing out v6.41rc56 for L2 capabilities, but need to turn the LCD off (as per our standards and all other Mik devices), but seems to have disappeared!

Any ideas on how to disable the LCD in this version?

Thanks.

Running a CRS317-1G-16S+ just doing simple L2 VLAN trunking. Having issues with adding VLANs to interfaces (only trunks). I cannot add new VLANs to interfaces. The only way I managed to get the first lot (101-504) working was to cut/paste the config in the "stable" version, then change to ...

Permit. Just moved all of my intended rules to the INPUT chain and everything works fine... (a) doesn't show in a port scan and (b) didn't kill BGP and lock myself out of the router!!

Many thanks, Neil

The IMPLICIT_DENY is on the FORWARD chain.

I am thinking (after reading the documentation a few times), that I need add these DENY rules to the INPUT chain as this is targeting and IP *on* the router itself. Is this correct?

I am a little concerned/confused by results from a simple port scan on my internet facing ROS box. I have firewall rules "dropping" pretty much everything but I can still see the following when doing a portscan (nmap -sS xx.xx.xx.xx) and there is nothing showing up on my IMPLICIT_DENY fire...

Unashamed BUMP here.

Any update? I understand other people are having the same issue.

Glad I am not going crazy!

I have had to settle for 1G as I needed to install it quickly and didn't have time to boot into RouterOS and explore the minefield of doing L2 on it! Not ideal and a bit disappointing.

Hi all, Just recently started to use Mik gear. I bought them purely for the 10G capability. If I run my CRS in ROS, I can hard fix to 10G no problem. If I boot in SWOS (which I want as it seems infinitely easier if you only want L2 capability), it will not do 10G - either with or without auto-neg. T...

Hi all, Trying to get to grips with Mik after 20 years of Cisco. I appreciate that the capabilities of the Mik are probably as good as some of Cisco's kit, and probably more configurable, however, for a newbie this is quite difficult. How about some simple starters... Cisco Access Port into vlan 102...

Hi all, I am trying to get various things to work on CCRs but struggling. I am trying to translate my knowledge of CIsco into Mikrotik and trying to find the equivalent! Objective: 1. Use a single CCR device 2. Have 4 completely separate routing domains (equiv of VRF-lite on Cisco) - which permit ov...

That is correct. If everything uses ROS, it works. If you have any device with SwOS, you cannot get 10G. I have tried several S+DACs too, as well as reboot, enable/disable. I will get you the serial numbers of everything next week (just left the office for a long weekend). It's been a painful (but s...

UPDATE:

If *all* devices are running RouterOS, the 10G comes up immediately.

Should SwOS 2.6 support 10G? If so, it doesn't appear to.

Sadly not :( We now have the CRS317 running SwOS 2.6, and the CCR1072 running RouterOS 6.41.rc47. On the CCR1072 we have tried auto-neg *and* manually setting (in console only, as there is not 10G option in the Webfig) to 10G... still not working. There is no option to FORCE the CRS317 to 10G on tha...

Many thanks. We were expecting something in the console to tell us that "you are now in SwOS". Only problem now is that we cannot set any interface to 10G! We have upgraded to 2.6 also. Using S+DA0001 between a CRS317 and CCR1072; the CRS317 does not recognise the SFPs and it only allows y...

We have EXACTLY the same issue with a CRS326-24G-2S+RM - we ask it to boot into SwOS, but it ignores us!

We have tried via the console cable and via the WebGUI (when booted into RouterOS)... but on reboot, it appears to loop... then on the console there is no option to boot permanently to SwOS.

Basically, it never boots into SwOS!

Hi all, Just taken hold of various Mik kit - one being a CRS317 as I want to use the 10G interface capability. I have no requirement for any L3 services, I just want switching. I have taken it out of the box, booted up, plugged into eth1, logged in via the GUI to 192.168.88.1, selected next boot to ...
