I have 1100ahx4 Dude Edition and now got normal 1100ahx4.

With Dude Edition I see 3 integrated switches. With normal Edition Winbox does not show the switch menu (6.38.4 and 6.40.5).
routerboard.com does not have a block diagram for these devices.

So is there no switch in normal 1100ahx4 ? Guess not as I see the switch groups blinking groupwise at startup.

Thanks.

Did a throughput test port1/port2. Could push nearly 1GBit/s udp traffic FDX to port1 and another to port2. Would not work with switch between. So Winbox is correct. There is no switch.

My RB1100AHx4 has no Switch menu either.

@Mikrotik

Could you please add a block diagram for RB11AHx4 (non Dude Edition). I guess the Bandwidth numbers are different, too.

This is a great device as it has a wide temperature range. It uses low power (I see <10W poe-powered). It has no fan (which are the first parts failing). It has all power input options I could think of. It is faster than AHx2 and it is cheaper.

Well done !!

You can see a photo.

There are three switch chips with a transformers, there are no disk interfaces only. This CPU have too few RGMII interfaces (otherwise "Dude edition" also would not have a switches), so You can not output 13 ethernet ports directly from CPU. So if You have no switch menu - this is the reason for contacting technical support. All IMHO .

Ok. So we have to wait for a SW-Upgrade.

There is a big free place on the left. Looks like a RB1100AHx8 is possible .

That space is not free on the RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition model.

Looked into the block diagram of 1100ahx4 dude edition. As Switch is connected with 2,5Gbit/s to CPU my test was not valid as it did not max out the switch-cpu connection.

Another advantage to 1100AHx2 which has only 1GBit/s between switches and CPU. There you cant route more than 500MBit/s between 2 switched ports.

I'm looking for something like Dude Edition but sadly no SFP+ port does MikroTik planning to release something like Dude Edition but with one SFP+ cage? I know you got this model CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ but it's to big jump with power and price (and fan's mounted what's make this unit loud), please release something between those two units

The CCR1009-7G-1C-PC fits the bill of middle ground and no fan.

I can also confirm there is no switch menu in webmin or webfig. I did configure it with the initial firmware for the the ethernet interfaces for master ports. Now on last bugfix and current its gone in winbox and webfig. I tried to downgrade to the previous bugfix version but it didn't reappear. The options are still there in the cli and can be configured.

Any chance for fix?

Thanks for info but 6.41 is very experimental ... I would like to see it in 6.40.6
