Re: VMWARE CHR - XZ Data is corrupt System Halted

I'm seeing the same error. We just tried stair-stepping from 6.48.6 to 6.49.13 to 7.12.1 to 7.15.3. Using VM Snapshots, we reverted to 7.12.1 and it seems to be stable.

MLAG needs STP

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "Yes, MLAG requires STP!" I just finished pulling my hair out for a few hours with MLAG peers not staying in sync - the chief symptom being 4% packet loss across a tagged peerlink. RouterOS 7.15 implemented logging that reports MLAG peer events, and...

Upgrade Tile 6.49.13 to 7.15.2 broke Winbox Session

We've had this happen to 2 different routers now. I did a Winbox drag-dop upgrade with routeros-7.15.2-tile.npk from 6.49.13. I don't know why I didn't go stairstep through 7.12. Upgrade seems to have converted my configuration correctly as OSPF routing and firewall features seem to be working corre...

Single Area vs Multiarea OSPF

I learned from the shoulders of giants that multi-area OSPF is the right way to build networks when moving from the Core to the Distribution network. The classic solution is to divide the network into areas of routers that are relatively related through topology or latency zones, enabling the small ...

Re: Potential Incompatibility CRS3xx and Siklu 10Gbps Radio

To follow up, we replaced 2 of the CRS328-4C-20S-4S+ switches with our standard CRS326-24S+2Q+ switches. Optics are unchanged. All issues resolved. Just to complicate matters, it appears that the optics that Siklu recommends seem to work fine. We use fs.com and other generics.

Re: GPEN21 Eth2 to SFP Communication not working

Just to follow up here a couple years later - the networks that we've built with this setup have been a resounding success. CRS328-4C-20S-4S+ switch supports (24) 1Gbps customers with BiDi optics and a GPEN21.

Potential Incompatibility CRS3xx and Siklu 10Gbps Radio

We have a lot of Siklu 8010FX links, and I mean a lot. Most of these are connected via 10G-LR directly to a tile cloud core router or the CRS326-24S+2Q+RM switch, with almost no issues after initial implementation. Lately, I've been getting reports of interface flapping between a Siklu and its mikro...

Re: GPEN21 Eth2 to SFP Communication not working

We ended up still using 360 of these to run a large FTTH deployment. Instead of using a cap AC poe-powered, we ended up using an external router and a barrel power cord splitter. Still looking to get this working. Since you can simultaneously communicate between the external RJ and both the SFP and ...

Re: Dude connects to ROS devices every minute and then disconnects

This should be easy to replicate. I have a CHR running Dude on Hyper-V and it reconnects enough that it crashed winbox server on one of my ccr1036 out in the field. Had to reboot it through SSH.

Re: PON EPON GEPON GPON CWDM Fiber Passive Optical Network Mikrotik

We are starting to use active-e ftth because mutiple cabling vendors are making larger count pre-terminated cable assemblies than previous. We just finished a Corning FlexNAP project that terminated into a 432 LCP. The CRS328 fiber switch is pretty light on port density (48 port would be nice), but ...

Yes. I confirmed with a support case that it ins't the intended design and isn't a support operation. They may add support in SWos in a future release.

GPEN21 Eth2 to SFP Communication not working

Just received my first test set of GPEN21! So excited, then so disappointed. I'm trying to terminate ActiveE FTTH into apartments and power access points with PoE using the same device. GPEN21 fits the usage case precisely. However, during testing, we are finding that no communication is possible be...

Re: MikroTik Newsletter June 2020 (#96)

I would like to ask about gpen21. Does the communication between ether2 and SFP work? I can't get it up and running. Between ether1 and ether2 it's OK. It's also OK between SFP and ether1, but when I want to communicate directly between ether2 and sfp it doesn't work. I face the same issue while te...

CCR1036 large configuration file causes reboot nightmares

Hello, We routinely use CCR-1036 for residential gateways, and they contain 300+ VLANs either attached to a SFP+ port or a bridge containing one or more ports. Each VLAN has an IP and a separate simple Queue (for billing management). This configuration file is quite large, so boot/reboots take a whi...

+1 on being able to manipulate the timeout. I have a couple of large CAPsMAN sites, and they go crazy even on a STP event.

Thanks for the correction. Yes, I was pushing a RouterOS update. I'm scheduling the units to be replaced so that we can Netinstall them on the bench instead of fumbling with them in the field.

Re: 60gHz link with 5gHz failover + Scotch Whisky

If you don't care about a 5 second failover time, the simplest would be a rapid spanning tree failover. If you are using routerboards on both sides, you can place both radio ports and a LAN port into a bridge. Under the bridge/port menu, increase the path cost on the 5GHz link on both ends. After co...
