Re: Logging Spanning Tree info on switches running RouterOS?

I apologize, I am getting some info in the log, but as ConradPino mentioned - only when an interface physically changes state (down/up). I tested by changing a VLAN filter on an upstream device (non-Mikrotik), which caused the switch I was looking at & logging to become STP Root, and there were ...

Logging Spanning Tree info on switches running RouterOS?

I think the title is fairly clear here, but I'll explain further. I have a bunch of switches running RouterOS (v7.x, mostly 7.12 but some might be more up-to-date). I am trying to log what I would consider basic "info"-level events from Spanning Tree - e.g. STP Root changes, or if the loca...

Re: 📣 WinBox 4 is here 📣

Not sure when it was fixed, but beta8 is working correctly with RADIUS credentials. In dark mode, selection highlight in some input fields (like filter box) is very difficult to distinguish, at least on macOS (and I have higher-end displays that are rather color-accurate). I would still like some ad...

What will happen if I "accidentally" put Passive PoE (48-57V) into a netPower 16P?

See subject... I'm configuring a bunch of GPEN21s, and part of the config is that we set the "upstream" port (port 2) to "force on" for PoE output (instead of the default "auto on"). This is being done because in some cases, the GPENs are not supplying power to an upstr...

Re: Slow speeds when setting CRS125 ports to Gig

Is the switch doing anything else at the time?

What ports are you using on the CRS?

I ask because anything that goes up to Layer3 presumably involves the CPU, and the CPU only has a single 1gbps link back to the internal switch. Check the block diagram (PDF).

Re: RB450 bricked after RouterOS upgrading. Any solution Pls

I'm pretty sure the MTK hardware requires a null-modem cable -- if that is straight-serial then it won't work, and could explain why you see nothing.

Re: Slow speeds when setting CRS125 ports to Gig

Well, anything going between two VLANs is being routed rather than switched, unless there is something I'm missing... Is the CRS the default route between the two devices, or is traffic having to go somewhere else in order to route between those VLANs?
