In my setup i have a WAN router which provides my VLAN to my network, however this is only a 1gbit link therefore i have purchased a CRS317-1G-16S+ to have between my ESXi hosts providing
10gbit vlan routing. Im new to Mikrotik but do i understand this correctly.
rt-core01 (non mikrotik 1gbit) vlan 10 192.168.10.1/24
sw-core-01 (non mikrotik 10gbit) trunk
rt-core02 (CRS 10gbit) vlan 10 192.168.10.2/24
esxi01 (trunk) vlan 10,20,30 etc..
esxi02 (trunk) vlan 10,20,30 etc..
esxi03 (trunk) vlan 10,20,30 etc..
Should i create a VLAN interface on the CRS or just a VLAN on the bridge? My assumption is that if i only create a bridge then the routing will fall back on rt-core01 not on the new CRS? Is this correct or am i totally wrong here?

Re: CRS VLAN Routing
And ... CRS devices are switches with L3 functionality. They are capable of routing (e.g. between VLANs), but nowhere wirespeed. Official test results, together with my own interpretation[*] indicate that your unit of choice can route with speeds around 500Mbps.
[*] My experience goes that the number most relevant to real-life cases in that result table is under "Routing, 25 ip filter rules, [packet size] 512 byte". If you do your best (no firewall filter rules), you might get near 1Gbps.

Re: CRS VLAN Routing
Many thanks, i never saw those speed tests results!
According to those results, this switch never operates (switches) at the full 10bge speed? (9536mbps) ?
If i wanted to use the switch with vlan routing, then i still need RouterOS correct? or can i just use the SwOS?

It can switch at wire speed or close to it (see the 'Switching' results). It just can't route that fast. And yes, if you want it to route, you need RouterOS; SwOS will not let you do that.
Re: CRS VLAN Routing
I have come a bit further with this.
However with this setup, when i ping two hosts which are on the CRS switch on different vlans, the CRS doesnt route them it falls back to rt-core-01.. i can see ICMP packets on my core 1 router, and my intention was that the core 2 (CRS) would route them, thus providing a 10gbit routing link
so sfp-sfpplus1 pvid=100 with ip 10.10.10.106 tries to ping sfp-sfpplus2 pvid=1 192.168.1.228 and those boths both have the gatway 10.10.10.5 and 192.168.1.5 respectively, yet the ICMP packets travel outside of this router.

Re: CRS VLAN Routing
Two things ...
First one: bridge interface has implicit default setting pvid=1 ... so in your case where you use VLAN 1 tagged on bridge you either have to set bridge pvid to some unused value or set frame-types=admit-only-vlan-tagged on /interface bridge
Second: CRS is a switch with some low-capacity L3 (IP) capabilities ... already mentioned above. So inter-VLAN routing will peak at half a Gbps (combined over all interfaces).

Re: CRS VLAN Routing
many thanks for your reply.
I added
to /interface bridge
however i still get ICMP traffic past the CRS, this means the Mikrotik is not routing vlan traffic as it should for some reason. What could i be doing wrong here?
It seems i wont be able to get what i need out of this switch in terms on speed, so as long as the traffic is routed properly on this device and not sent back to the rt-core-01 that would suffice until i can find a device that can do what i need.

I'd first remove all those default routes under /ip route ... for purpose of testing inter-vlan routing you don't need any of them. You'll need one to provide internet access (that's one for all VLANs) but your main router will have to be aware of it ...
If it doesn't start to behave, I'd save exported config (to management PC) and perform full reset (possibly doing netinstall), after that transfer saved config back to the unit. Could be that there's some lost config lurking behind the scenes and it's hard to get rid of it in any other way.

This was an iperf3 test between two hosts on the same vlan, the speed came to 1gbit and i could see the ether1 port was maxed out.
Re: CRS VLAN Routing
In this setup, would ethernet1 need to be apart of the bridge? i will eventually replace ethernet1 to a sfp+ port to uplink to the switch.
Here is a diagram to better try and explain what i am doing.
As you can see, when linux01 and linux02 try to use iperf3, it uses all the bandwidth on ether1, which is not what i want. The idea is that all traffic on these hosts gets routed or switched by sw-core-02

I highly doubt that device is defective. There have been cases with unexplicable behaviour and netinstall fixed the problem.
Re: CRS VLAN Routing
Ok i am not aware of netinstall.. I will have a read and report back
Re: CRS VLAN Routing
Solved. I did a full netinstall, and set the device up manually, checking routes and such as i went along. Now i can reach 900mbit inter-vlan routing with iperf3 without going to the rt-core-01.

Re: CRS VLAN Routing
I've a very similar need of the configuration mentioned above. And i'm really happy that i found this thread.
My CRS317-1G-16S+RM should make the communication possible over 10GBit between an opcoming FreeNAS which will be the storage for a Cluster of 8 hosts.
I've two other L3 switches and one SoHo Router behind. This is my very first Mikrotik device and i've updated both RouterOS and SwOS so far to the latest.
Since the storage NAS and Cluster have to be in the same network, and i strongly want to achive the maximum throughput. I was reading some older posts
where it was written you cannot achive this when routing. I mean ok, routing isn't really needed between the hosts and the NAS since they should be on the same network.
The only thing is, it should be possible to communicate via Mikrotiks management RJ45 port to the HP 1920s switch. I'm not so deep into networks so I'm sorry about misspelling.
I don't really know if i should use RouterOS or SwOS in my case. And if RouterOs if i should set it to bridge mode or not.
Second i was expecting that the thermal fan management in RouterOS seems to be way more better than in SwOS. When OS is booting both RouterOS and SwOS, the fans are running noticable.
This is normal. But the only difference is that RouterOS continues to settle down the fans and then they stop. In SwOS they continue to rotate which is kinda annoying.
So i thought, can i use RouterOS because of the better fan management and somehow just configure this Mikrotik switch to my needs (i suggest switching only) without using SwOS, and use 10GBit wire speed between the hosts and storage NAS?
Or isn't this switch able to do wire speed with RouterOS, even when configured as switch?

The only thing is, it should be possible to communicate via Mikrotiks management RJ45 port to the HP 1920s switch. I'm not so deep into networks so I'm sorry about misspelling.
I don't really know if i should use RouterOS or SwOS in my case. And if RouterOs if i should set it to bridge mode or not.
Second i was expecting that the thermal fan management in RouterOS seems to be way more better than in SwOS. When OS is booting both RouterOS and SwOS, the fans are running noticable.
This is normal. But the only difference is that RouterOS continues to settle down the fans and then they stop. In SwOS they continue to rotate which is kinda annoying.
So i thought, can i use RouterOS because of the better fan management and somehow just configure this Mikrotik switch to my needs (i suggest switching only) without using SwOS, and use 10GBit wire speed between the hosts and storage NAS?
Or isn't this switch able to do wire speed with RouterOS, even when configured as switch?
Re: CRS VLAN Routing
Just set it to use RouterOS, and load default config (System > Reset Configuration); at next winbox login you can accept several different default configs, choose or agree with "Switch mode" configuration.
This will create a bridge with all the ports in switch configuration (wirespeed), what you're seeking.

@pukkita thank you for your reply.
That sounds good.
Can this procedure somehow also be done via webinterface or is Windows natively available for OSX?
No Windows for Winbox available here.
