Does anyone HAVE a MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN yet??
So I'm currently chasing a CRS305-1G-4S+IN - it would be PERFECT for a fileserver upgrade I'm doing for my linux ISO storage server. They look to have been out a couple of years, but had some pretty serious packet forwarding issues up until a month ago, so probably weren't overly popular. Weird thing is, I spent about 3 hours last night hitting up every 'Tik reseller in the world, and they ALL have 0 stock, and expected arrival times between around the 8th and 20th of April. Does anyone actually HAVE one of these mystical beasts? (And interested in parting with it perhaps?) Anyone know why they don't seem to be available? I was otherwise looking at the CRS328's, but at that price point a single cpu core seems stupendously underpowered with the RouterOS changes recently doing away with the switch chip settings and moving everything to bridges... :\ Thanks, DG -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG.

Hi Damien, I can't comment on availability of these units, but wanted to point out that the move from "master port" to bridges doesn't necessarily mean you lose the switch chip functionality. Refer here for more info: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Bridge#Bridge_Hardware_Offlo... According to the table, the CRS3xx series has full hardware offload features within a bridge.

Hmm, yeah but wifi is meant to work on the CRS109, and hadn’t since the change to bridges.. so I wouldn’t trust that hardware offload works as expected either.. On Tue, 19 Mar 2019 at 7:50 am, Philip Loenneker < Philip.Loenneker@tasmanet.com.au> wrote:

If you missed the crazy long post back in December about wifi not working correctly, here it is: Ok, so I borrowed an RB951-2n, and an RB2011-2HnD-IN from work for the holidays to do some more in-depth testing, alongside a spare CRS-109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN. Rolled all three back to 6.40.9 and defaulted configuration. Some interesting notes.. 1) CRS* looks to be the only platform which supports vlan-egress* and vlan-ingress* nodes under the switch chip config. Must admit, I'd assumed that was just a standard RouterOS feature, as I couldn't imagine why it *wouldn't* exist, as all our Huawei and Extreme gear at work does it out of the box. - working CRS config https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/tjLNA5WoyfYt7Ae 2) RB951 doesn't work at all for having access ports on something other than the default vlan (i.e. NOT on a vlan at all) - i.e. documentation suggests that the following should do it (and RB2011 works perfectly like this): - nonworking RB951 config: https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/ag3MqjQBnXdmMEK /interface vlan add interface=ether2 name=vlan100 vlan-id=100 /interface ethernet switch port set 1 default-vlan-id=100 vlan-header=always-strip vlan-mode=secure set 2 default-vlan-id=100 vlan-header=always-strip vlan-mode=secure RB2011 works perfectly with the above to drop vlan100 as the untagged vlan onto ether2 and ether3. Ethernet->RouterOS and Wifi->Ethernet work perfectly this way. -> https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/xFFc25ng2Ea2w32 3) If you mistakenly think that 'format NAND' is the fastest way to clear the config on an RB2011, and needed to run netinstall in a windows VM in parallels Desktop on your mac, you want to completely shutdown Parallels, and look for the config.pvs file inside the VM directory, and then look for the PktFilter noded in the XML, and set all three options (PreventPromisc, PreventIpSpoof, and PreventMacSpoof) to 0, then start Parallels back up. That was an hour of my life I want back :D Upgrading the three devices to 6.42.9... The RB2011 works exactly was everyone has suggested things should work. Create a bridge for each vlan, create a vlan under the main bridge, and then put the vlan and the wifi into the vlan-specific bridge. VOILA, works perfectly. -> https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/TBrnmRcxwgpsos6 The RB951 then works correctly. Weirdly, on this platform, your IP can be on EITHER the bridge or the vlan, and still works fine. Also interestingly, the wlan interface can actually be in either bridge, and it can talk to ethernet fine (Neither of these is the case on the RB2011, I went back and checked..). -> https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/aaG8ZGypMSGCaWj The CRS109 Also works correctly, which is interesting! 400mbps between switch ports pushes the CPU to 95%. 80mbps between Wifi and a switch port pushes the CPU to 30%, so would probably be about the same. Has me wondering now why my main CRS109 was falling in a heap at ~20mbps.. I'll re-try reconfiguring the main CRS tomorrow morning :) - https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/aMpzbKxBQpCbcsc If I turn VLAN Filtering *off*, and try to use vlan translations to do customer-vlan=100 new-customer-vlan=0 on egress and vice-versa on ingress on the ether2-5 ports, then wlan-sourced packets are egressing to ethernet still tagged, so looks like a bug with the CRS. - config at https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/6qoRM7xz7bawaEx On Tue, 19 Mar 2019 at 08:11, Damien Gardner Jnr <rendrag@rendrag.net> wrote:

Oooh, there's a few recent updates with changelog mentions of bridge - improve packet handling when hardware offloading is disabled, and wireless - improve packet handling - I might try updating my test 109 and see if the issue has gone! That would be really nice! (I'm running with the new bridge handling enabled for now, which can be really horrible throughput at times..)

2) RB951 doesn't work at all for having access ports on something other than the default vlan (i.e. NOT on a vlan at all) - i.e. documentation suggests that the following should do it (and RB2011 works perfectly like this): - nonworking RB951 config: https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/ag3MqjQBnXdmMEK
/interface vlan
add interface=ether2 name=vlan100 vlan-id=100
/interface ethernet switch port
set 1 default-vlan-id=100 vlan-header=always-strip vlan-mode=secure
set 2 default-vlan-id=100 vlan-header=always-strip vlan-mode=secure
RB2011 works perfectly with the above to drop vlan100 as the untagged vlan onto ether2 and ether3. Ethernet->RouterOS and Wifi->Ethernet work perfectly this way. -> https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/xFFc25ng2Ea2w32
3) If you mistakenly think that 'format NAND' is the fastest way to clear the config on an RB2011, and needed to run netinstall in a windows VM in parallels Desktop on your mac, you want to completely shutdown Parallels, and look for the config.pvs file inside the VM directory, and then look for the PktFilter noded in the XML, and set all three options (PreventPromisc, PreventIpSpoof, and PreventMacSpoof) to 0, then start Parallels back up. That was an hour of my life I want back :D
Upgrading the three devices to 6.42.9...
The RB2011 works exactly was everyone has suggested things should work. Create a bridge for each vlan, create a vlan under the main bridge, and then put the vlan and the wifi into the vlan-specific bridge. VOILA, works perfectly. -> https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/TBrnmRcxwgpsos6
The RB951 then works correctly. Weirdly, on this platform, your IP can be on EITHER the bridge or the vlan, and still works fine. Also interestingly, the wlan interface can actually be in either bridge, and it can talk to ethernet fine (Neither of these is the case on the RB2011, I went back and checked..). -> https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/aaG8ZGypMSGCaWj
The CRS109 Also works correctly, which is interesting! 400mbps between switch ports pushes the CPU to 95%. 80mbps between Wifi and a switch port pushes the CPU to 30%, so would probably be about the same. Has me wondering now why my main CRS109 was falling in a heap at ~20mbps.. I'll re-try reconfiguring the main CRS tomorrow morning :) - https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/aMpzbKxBQpCbcsc
If I turn VLAN Filtering *off*, and try to use vlan translations to do customer-vlan=100 new-customer-vlan=0 on egress and vice-versa on ingress on the ether2-5 ports, then wlan-sourced packets are egressing to ethernet still tagged, so looks like a bug with the CRS. - config at https://nextcloud.rendrag.net/index.php/s/6qoRM7xz7bawaEx

WiFi works on my CRS 109?

Hmm, yeah but wifi is meant to work on the CRS109, and hadn’t since the change to bridges.. so I wouldn’t trust that hardware offload works as expected either..

Hi Damien,
I can't comment on availability of these units, but wanted to point out that the move from "master port" to bridges doesn't necessarily mean you lose the switch chip functionality. Refer here for more info:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Bridge#Bridge_Hardware_Offlo...
According to the table, the CRS3xx series has full hardware offload features within a bridge.

So I'm currently chasing a CRS305-1G-4S+IN - it would be PERFECT for a fileserver upgrade I'm doing for my linux ISO storage server. They look to have been out a couple of years, but had some pretty serious packet forwarding issues up until a month ago, so probably weren't overly popular. Weird thing is, I spent about 3 hours last night hitting up every 'Tik reseller in the world, and they ALL have 0 stock, and expected arrival times between around the 8th and 20th of April.
Does anyone actually HAVE one of these mystical beasts? (And interested in parting with it perhaps?) Anyone know why they don't seem to be available?
I was otherwise looking at the CRS328's, but at that price point a single cpu core seems stupendously underpowered with the RouterOS changes recently doing away with the switch chip settings and moving everything to bridges... :\
Thanks,
DG
