Best practice is to try and run cables back to the start switch if you can. Less points of failure and more switching capacity overall. In this way you are sharing your Wifi and everything after it on a single 1g connection and introducing more points of failure (Access point fails you loose intern...

A couple of reasons for having PoE in on ether1 which by default is WAN port: traditionally Mikrotik (and many other vendors') devices come configured for WAN on first wired port ... which is ether1 all mikrotik devices will only perform netinstall (the ultimate unbricking procedure) via ether1 tra...

Your configuration will tell more: /export file=anynameyoulike Be aware, though profiding the option, a cAP ac is an accesspoint. Thanks for the reply. This is now solved. It was a faulty cable - nothing to do with the cAPac. So this AP really does work with the default config right out of the box.

Be aware, though profiding the option, a cAP ac is an accesspoint.

OK, I'll download and send the config.
Do you mean to say that you would be inclined not to use the cAPac as a router but rather just as a wireless bridge?

So, I have just repurposed a cAPac and configured it with the Quick Set in Home Dual mode but it will not give me Internet access. I have not made any additional configurations beyond the Quick Set wizard where I set up both wlans and set up the WAN connection as automatic. Are there any further con...

So I totally get why the cAPac comes with poe in on eth01 and poe out on eth02 but t doesn't make much sense for their default configuration, which is WAN on eth01 and eth02 bridged with the wireless LANs. It doesn't make sense if you want to use poe because you won't typically have the WAN port (i....

If I analyse the PCB correctly the 10-30V is stepped down to a lower voltage with a switched mode power supply. These do normally not generate a lot of heat. My switch, with the fan on a lower than stock speed and an internal 12V Meanwell supply runs nice and cool now. OK, thanks. I think I'm going...

I installed one 12V power supply and it powers both the switch and fan. I’m feeding the router from the left pads where I’ve soldered wires on to. Forgive what might seem a silly question but this really isn't my area. Are we both talking about the CRS-326? So I see that it marks a voltage input ra...

incagarcilaso

By the way, if you want to use the unpopulated redundant power connections/.The right pads miss the diode on the PCB. So connecting there will not work. That's good to know! So only the one on the left works? So you installed a 12V power supply JUST for the fans? You will have two power sources run...

No NO, that looks like a stock picture of inside the CCR1009. It has those BIG copper pipes leading to the heat sink with large fins. THe fins get really hot, I think I could use them for cooking LOL. Ah, thought it was your image. Apparently the copper pipes work very well and the so-called "...

That are two+two soldering points for extra power inputs. The plus is the one closest to the connector and you see the resistor which connrcts to the plus. If you are not comfortable with soldering look at a splitter cable to be fitted in between the power cable and the power in connector. The fan ...

Yes I do use mini heat sinks on the SFP ports.

Out of interest Anav, are those copper pipes (or heat pipes) your own retrofit or were they already fitted?

So do you think that I will be able to fit a Noctua FLX directly to the 24V board with this reduction cable? No, that's not what I said. It's for 12V only. You said in your previous post you were going to add a 12V power supply; that will run the fan. I would not connect a 12V fan to 24V even with ...

I put those mini heat sinks on all my SFP to copper cage locations, seems to work well.
The CCR1009 does get very hot and have toyed with the idea of a fan for that but too chicken to try it.

:-)
Which mini heat sinks are they? Could you send a reference?

incagarcilaso

Do you realise that the Noctua FLX fans usually come with a speed-reducing adapter cable (with a built in resistor that's just right)? I didn't know that. So do you think that I will be able to fit a Noctua FLX directly to the 24V board with this reduction cable? I would rather not add a DC-DC step...

Holy CARP! I just fitted a 2 watt 40mm 24V fan to the back of my CSS326 and the reported temperatures dropped from 70C down to 38C! Those are *stellar* results.

That's useful, thanks.

Has anyone done this? Do MT supply fans for the CRS-326? Most MT devices run quite hot and with the MT RJ01 10G interfaces I would prefer to have a fan running in this. Currently the SFP interfaces are at 87 degrees C. I notice the switch is prepared with a fan vent on the body. Any pointers would b...

Generally I find it best not to include any untagged= membership entries under /interface bridge vlan as they will be dynamically added when interfaces are running/up based on the pvid= entries under /interface bridge port . If the untagged membership entries are present you have to remember to upd...

incagarcilaso

One thing I do not like about the configuration shown in the examples up at the top (which are otherwise very good) is that it has unnecessary use of the "untagged" setting. You never really have to set anything as untagged manually like that, unless you are using something like MAC-based...

So in first part of post spf1 is under tagged for vlan 1005 but in later output it is under untagged. It should be under untagged and PVID for the port is correct.

You don't need to remove it from the bridge, it can be set and changed. However, if spanning tree is running on the bridge and this is a prod network, be mindful of changes that can cause the STP topology to reconverge. Thanks for the reply. Yes it is a production environment. Good to know about RS...

CRS3xx are basically switches as transparent as it gets. Unless they are configured to block something. Or misconfigured.

That's great. Thanks for the confirmation. One other question now occurs to me. If I want to disable just one of the virtual wlans, I suppose I can do this without it affecting the master interface?
