I wonder about the amount of overlapping 192.168.88.1 IPs on most of them-- without even firewall rules to block RFC1918 IPs from going up a customer's radio.

I grabbed a CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe to play around with. The physical SFP28 interfaces will not get a link (won't even show what SFP module is attached) if they're set as pass-through to a disabled virtual interface. I spent quite a while wondering if my DACs were incompatible with this device before I realized what was going on.

Make sure the firmware is up to date on random bugs like that, not just the RouterOS version. My RB3011's ether1-4 is randomly dropping when doing high bandwidth wired transfer speeds, it looks like the CPU can't keep up or such. I put in some Fasttrack code to my firewall and maybe it will get better.

I had a similar issue with my RB3011 except in my case it was ports 6-10 constantly flapping during high speed transfers which I assume was the switch #2 getting reset. Turning off CPU flow control helped without having a noticeable impact on throughput.

I've never understood why some of their devices are Passive PoE input and others are 802.3af/at.

It does look good, I have no need for Wi-Fi in the router box so hopefully we get a revised Hex as well. Can’t really justify the cost of the 5009.

What's the big selling point of the ax2 vs the RB 4011?

Canine Blues Arooo posted:What's the big selling point of the ax2 vs the RB 4011? It's a lot cheaper and smaller, with wifi (and wifi 6). It seems like the RB4011 with wifi (this one, anyway) is MSRP $275 vs. $99. It's got a similar form factor to consumer router, instead of a 1U rackmount device, so it might be good as a home router that's not as garbage as lot of them are. If I was running mikrotik gear at home I'd consider one of these as a WAP if I wanted wifi 6 since Ubiquiti can be a little flaky on both stock and support. I doubt I'd get a RB4011 unless I knew I wanted that many ports on a router that also had my wifi.

The ac2 lists a max power consumption of 16w, and the ax2 gives out 16.8w, so on paper it should be able to power it. If using the ax2 to power another device, you'll need to use the DC power adapter (only eth1 does PoE In or Out).

Passive PoE is incredibly easy to engineer - there's no technical negotiation being done (like there is for 802.3aft) to feed power on the line, so you can just take the pins on the motherboard and feed them to your power supply. The power is basically "always on". It was a hack done when speeds were 10/100 and only used 4 of the 8 wires, so companies pumped 48v on the unused wires. (Unifi used to also have 24v passive poe to make it more complicated/worse) When gigabit became ubiquitous companies spent the 0.02c and bought the 802.3af/t breakout chip for the motherboards as the 4 spare wires were now being used.

I guess my main point of confusion is why it seems inconsistent. The CSS/CRS326 switch takes in Passive PoE, while it seems like all the other CRS3xx devices that accept PoE-In use 802.3af/at. The CRS309 switch has a 9-pin console port, while all the other CRS3xx devices with console ports don't.

I needed more SFP+ switch ports than the 4 from my CRS305, and the CRS309 also wouldn't cut it (and is also always out of stock whenever I look) so I picked up the CRS317_1G_16S+RM. 16 SFP+ ports should keep me happy for a while. Upgrading to more SFP+ ports allowed me to remove a bunch of cat6 cables that were in LAGs, simplifying my setup and freeing up a bunch of space (and PCIe slots). There's two 40mm cooling fans and I was concerned that the noise would be intolerable in my home office/lab, but they don't run when the temperature is low enough and there's a decently sized external heatsink. So far they've only spun when the switch is booting. The switch has internal power supplies so I don't have to work around a DC wall wart in my cramped cabinet, unlike the CRS305 and CRS326. Other than the BRIGHT BLUE LEDs on the front that I've taped over, it has been a good switch so far. e. It came with a little MikroTik sticker and a... no trash sticker

https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ax3 A bigger form factor seems to enable much faster performance out of the same CPU, somehow. I want this, but apparently ordering a hap ax2 right now gets delivery sometime around January, so it's probably summer 2023 to actually get a hap ax3. Edit: The ax3 even comes with RouterOS license level 6, not that something like this could really use the extra capabilities over L4.

They will be allowing the ax3 to burst to higher clocks than the ax2. Main difference is the 2.5Gb interface.

I’d love for them to like… let me buy a 5009 to try it out. I want to give them money, but I haven’t seen it in stock anywhere and it is like at an inflated 200% markup on eBay. My RB3011 definitely having the baked in hardware failure of the entire switch chip failing if I transfer too much data too fast on like ether1 through 5

I remember seeing them for preorder on Baltic for expected delivery in like July when it was February, and thinking that was a long rear end time into the future. I might as well just preorder now since Jan is like less than 3 months away now! That is… if that July order actually went through for them?

Yeah I was looking at one for fun but they're out of stock and i had an immediate need for a silent thing i could set up a bunch of tunnels on for some dumb poo poo so i ended up getting a hEX. i'll need something better when we theoretically get fiber out here next year but for now this is sufficient for the connection available

I recently installed a HAP AC2 at a place I thought had a 50Mbps connection. Turns out ISP forgot to turn on the throttling so it was unrestricted fiber. The HAP AC2 with the normal firewall stuff was routing via cable at 950mbps, and via wifi I got about 400-600Mbps. That did surprise me, generally these are assumed to be kind of not-great, but for $70.. win?

Sounds like a win to me, that's what you can expect to measure on gig ethernet and for the wireless that's what I consider a reasonable result for 802.11ac given real world poo poo Personal victory, the little hEX i bought is handling the fixed wireless connection just fine and it let me set up the assorted tunnels that I need to access work stuff (a lot of them, but low traffic and rarely more than 2 or 3 at a time) all while being silent

I'd quite like a hAP ax2 but don't need the Wi-Fi, and proper PoE in would be a nice to have. Basically an RB450Gx4 but 1. available and 2. in a box.

Yeah, I've been wishing they'd update the hEX with the guts of the hap ax2 minus wifi, but it's not like the hAP ax2 is that expensive in the first place.

I was very very happy with the RB750Gr3 upgrade from the prior version. I went from lovely 60/10 cable to 300/300 fiber for half the cost. Backup, restore, bing bong. Every so often the speed caps don't work and I can easily grab close to a gig from it. Unfortunately COVID, supply chain, etc has raised the price of everything, but it's still a steal for $60. There's a package on Amazon with one of these: https://mikrotik.com/product/RBGPOE I don't know what the "power source" is They also apparently make https://www.amazon.com/Mikrotik-RBGPOE-Converter-Power-RouterBOARD/dp/B00I4QJLPM which is unfortunately a bit much for what it does but it's an option if you want PoE in.

The lower end mikrotiks don't have proper PoE, they have passive bs. Meaning even if you were to power off the PoE input, it wont do proper PoE (non passive).

Today I found out that MikroTik sells branded merchandise. There's the usual t-shirts, stickers, and tote bags that you would expect, but there's a few interesting items that seem to be specially designed for the MikroTik enthusiast. , no nudity but you probably don't want anyone to see you looking at this https://merch.mikrotik.com/products/groove-boxer-briefs

Interface comments/descriptions in 7.9 are now inline instead of being above each line, so maybe I won't configure the wrong interface when using the web interface now. e. I guess there's no way to timg attached images
