Mikrotik CRS static lag does it work?

Tue Oct 11, 2016 12:11 am

Has anyone ever sucessfully done a lag group on a CRS226, CRS125, etc?

I'm not sure they even support lag, here is extent of the documentation on the subject;

Trunking
ImageTrunking
The Trunking in the Cloud Router Switches provides static link aggregation groups with hardware automatic failover and load balancing. IEEE802.3ad and IEEE802.1ax compatible Link Aggregation Control Protocol is not supported yet. Up to 8 Trunk groups are supported with up to 8 Trunk member ports per Trunk group.
Configuration requires a group of switched ports and an entry in the Trunk table./interface ethernet set ether6 master-port=ether2 set ether7 master-port=ether2 set ether8 master-port=ether2 /interface ethernet switch trunk add name=trunk1 member-ports=ether6,ether7,ether8 This example also shows proper bonding configuration in RouterOS on the other end./interface bonding add name=bonding1 slaves=ether2,ether3,ether4 mode=balance-xor transmit-hash-policy=layer-2-and-3 \ link-monitoring=mii mii-interval=100ms



I have tried this with a wisp switch set to static, not sure how to set it really, I enabled two interfaces as directed on the mikrotik instructions and then I set a key on the netonix (no place to put the key on the mikrotik) and I don't think it's working... Surely someone has attempted?

Yes. It´s working.

We have several, mixing SFP, SFP+ and copper ports with no problem.

Francisco,
or anyone else with relevant experience,

Are you saying the MikroTik CRS125 port trunking works with Netonix LACP LAG?

I've just started looking into CRS125 aggregation and I couldn't help notice this in the MikroTik manual: " IEEE802.3ad and IEEE802.1ax compatible Link Aggregation Control Protocol is not supported yet."

I need to create a 2 Gbps path from a CCR1009 router to a Netonix switch and four 2 Gbps paths from the Netonix switch to each of four CRS125 switches. The ultimate goal is to run vlans from the CCR1009 to individual CRS125 switch ports where individual ports can burst to 1 Gbps despite other (less 1 Gbps total) traffic on the 2 Gbps upstream trunk(s).

I'll be working on this next week, but if anyone has useful configuration experience to relate, especially before then :) I'd appreciate it.
