CCR1036-8G-2S+ issue bonding SFP+ ports

Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:36 pm

Hi

I have 2 of these that I have connected to a stack of 2 x dell 8024f

I have 10G connectivity

I went to LACP bond the interfaces and it wouldn't work, couldn't get LACP active on the switch so I have fallen back to balanced-tlb.

balanced-alb seemed to be failing for half the clients...

so this was on 6.3, I have upgraded to 6.10 was there any LACP fixs. any one else having issues.

Also as a side note for bonded interfaces using balanced do I need to do anything special with the interface on the switch, current have them setup in a port-channel ... ??

Hi,

I sill have the described issue. An upgrade to 6.10 dit not fix it.
On the CCR1036-8G-2S+ I have bonded both SFP+ ports and connected it to a Cisco 4500X.
I have two CCR that are running without problems and also two that did not work.

This is the log of the Cisco:
*Feb 21 07:11:03.537: %EC-5-UNBUNDLE: Interface Te2/1/8 left the port-channel Po3
*Feb 21 07:11:03.652: %EC-5-UNBUNDLE: STANDBY:Interface Te2/1/8 left the port-channel Po3
*Feb 21 07:11:27.564: %EC-5-BUNDLE: Interface Te1/1/7 joined port-channel Po3
*Feb 21 07:11:27.723: %EC-5-BUNDLE: STANDBY:Interface Te1/1/7 joined port-channel Po3
*Feb 21 07:11:33.531: %EC-5-UNBUNDLE: Interface Te1/1/7 left the port-channel Po3
*Feb 21 07:11:33.650: %EC-5-UNBUNDLE: STANDBY:Interface Te1/1/7 left the port-channel Po3

Cisco Port 1/1/7 is connected to SFP+1
Cisco Port 2/1/8 is connected to SFP+2

I have also seen very strange LED working on the CCR1036-8G-2S+, the LEDs of the SFP+1 and SFP+2
only worked, when Ether8 was connected. It is very strange and I think there is still a software or
hardware problem on this ports.

I haven't used ether 2-8... Ether 1 I have cross connected.

Have you done any throughput tests ?

How to make throughput tests, when the ports leaves and enters into the LACP channel?
Also a ping is not working.

It is very strange that two CCR1036-8G-2S+ does not have this problem and other two
have it.

#1 Using iPerf from PC to PC or server to server or PC to server
#2 Using a server stress tool like this one Webserver stress tool but please be careful this tool is very powerful and is also able to freeze hole networks!!!
#3 Using NetIO for a test like described under #1

Can it be that this phenomenon depends on different configurations?

No, the configuration and software version is identical. I will now clear the configuration and
also install the software again. But I will take the 6.6 or 6.7, the 6.10 have realy some problems/bugs.

Hm this is not really fine as you tell us here now some stuff about the LAG (LACP)
I wanted to buy also some of the models and there fore I am now really hard thinking
about!!! At first I was only thinking that the CCR1036 is not able to handle the load
on the SFP+ ports coming from outside at the WAN interface and there fore a
CCR1072 could or should be better to handle this load.
It is very strange that two CCR1036-8G-2S+ does not have this problem
and other two have it.
Surely I would now also wondering why?
Did you set up the LAG with 802.ad (LACP) on both ends?

Yes, but now I have give up and have re-configured it as acive/standby bonding on the MikroTik.
10Gig is enough bandwith in the moment, I wanted to have an interface backup based on the channel
and to use both. I will try it again to make such a configuration but have no time now for troubleshooting...

Have you done any performance testing... I haven't been able to push a single stream of TCP faster that 1Gb...

That is to be expected. If you want more make sure you do more simultaneous sessions, every session with a different source and/or destination IP.
