Re: Danteswitch

A switch doesn't use it's CPU if configured correctly. CRS112 is a bit tricky to configure. Any misstake and the traffic will end up in the CPU. A L009 has a decent switch as well, and is easier to use, but lacks QoS features. I've run a number of PCM 48k RTP Audio streams over my CRS112 with QoS a...

Re: Danteswitch

It might work, but if this is for a recording setup and Dante is sharing the network with other bulk traffic, I’d say QoS is essential to maintain audio quality. Dante is pretty sensitive to latency and jitter, so QoS makes sure that Dante streams are prioritized over other types of network traffic...

Re: Danteswitch

On 1G links, Dante does not require QoS. That is, until you don´t have other traffic competing with the streams. So you can also use any SWOS device with 1G ports, but don´t send Dante over 1G Trunks between switches without QoS. Thank you! I'm aware of SwOS. Current using Dante on Vlan with SwOS b...

Re: CRS326, CRS312, How do i setup DSCP for use with Dante?

Thank you for all hints and tips. I see, by using one bridge you can utilize the hardware offloading. Using two or more bridges disables that So, for an example. Switch with 16 ports, Port 1-8 Dante ports on vlan 123 and Port 9-16 on vlan 456, where port 16 also is an uplink port to the site switch ...

Time has passed and RouterOS has been developing. Now 7.15 and newer supports DSCP QoS prioritization etc. I've been reading the documentation for that and the guide is based on that you have the switch default configured with all ports switched in a bridge. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS...

You might have heating issues when using two S+RJ10 next to each other. They should not be placed like that.
There must be one empty between them. Or place one on each group of ports.

Please read more about this in the S+RJ10 documentation.
