I would have said the same thing until I had a bunch of the CRS switches. On 10/18/2019 2:45 PM, Colin Stanners wrote: I've worked with hundreds of MikroTiks in all environments over many years and, except for one weird case (changing MTU to 9000 on CCR1072 causing strange port behaviour),

I think I’ve had to resort to rebooting one Mikrotik one time this year and in fairness it was an RB493G. From: AF On Behalf Of Colin Stanners Sent: Friday, October 18, 2019 1:46 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches I've worked

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

I've worked with hundreds of MikroTiks in all environments over many years and, except for one weird case (changing MTU to 9000 on CCR1072 causing strange port behaviour), can't recall the last time that a reboot was needed for one. I'd suspect that a site requiring that many reboots has something

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

Yeah might be I'm stupid.  VLAN's and port isolation are a breeze on Cisco.  I found CRS counter-intuitive.  Maybe it's just me. On 10/18/2019 2:33 PM, dave via AF wrote: I have a few CRS328 ans love them and configuring vlans is cake even port isolation. Work with cisco before which was like

I have a few CRS328 ans love them and configuring vlans is cake even port isolation. Work with cisco before which was like breathing to me when doing vlans and other port isolation techniques. I think one must really understand each manufacture on how they name a feature and understand the how

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

I do something similar. I've been deploying CCR1009 and UBNT Edgepoint (S16). 10G from CCR to Edgeopoint using Vlans, I've had no problems with that. Then the Edgepoint handles all the POE. On 10/18/2019 10:41 AM, Steve Jones wrote: we have 1100ahx2 and ahx4 at all the sites. these are just

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

we have 1100ahx2 and ahx4 at all the sites. these are just for switching and port aggregation mostly. we vlan isolate the aggregate data into the router On Fri, Oct 18, 2019 at 10:22 AM Nate Burke wrote: > I can't think of specific problems with them. Maybe I've had problems > like Adam, but

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

I can't think of specific problems with them. Maybe I've had problems like Adam, but spread over years I don't remember. Just keep in mind their use case. If you're doing simple routing at a site that's moving ~100mb, then they're probably fine. If you want full throughput of a couple 1G

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

Like Nate, we had a few of them and had no problems. Then we deployed 25 or 30 of them to small sites.  Most of the time they just sit there and run.  Over the past few years we've just had a few scattered instances where we had to reboot them when traffic wouldn't move to one port. There's

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

I have some opinions on this. 1) Yes they're cheap. 2) They run ROS, so if a newb comes along who doesn't realize that this is switch hardware and it has a crappy CPU, then that newb might try to make firewall rules and VPN tunnels and other such router functionality in the config.  That

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

Are you talking about just as like an office switch? I've had a CRS doing my home network for a couple years without an issue. I also have a couple scattered around the server room as switches connecting servers. I haven't touched them since I put them in. On 10/18/2019 9:39 AM, Steve

[AFMUG] Mikrotik CRS switches

We usually use the lower end HP procurve switches, we have had zero problems with them over the years, but now theyre office connect and seem that all the 24 port ones are going deep instead of 10 inches. The CRS stuff is 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of comparable HP switches. Have any of you degenerates
