Re: Switch for SFP+

This works well on my CRSs:

/interface bonding
add mode=802.3ad name=bond-inet slaves=ether9,ether10,ether8 transmit-hash-policy=layer-2-and-3

/interface bridge port
add bridge=br-cabase interface=bond-inet
add bridge=br-cabase interface=sfp1

But if I want to bridge vlans behind some bonding Instead of bridging phy interfaces, cpu explodes:

/interface vlan
add name=vl201-mmen vlan-id=201 interface=sfp1
add name=vl201-mment vlan-id=201 interface=bond-inet

/interface bridge port
add bridge=br-mment interface=vl201-mmen
add bridge=br-mment interface=vl201-mment

Thanks. I am currently using CRS326-24G-2S+ (with routerOS) for this, but when I want to do vlan trunking through the bonding, cpu load grows from 3% to more than 90%. I'm consulting Mikrotik's support in the meantime, because routerOS probably doesn't take advantage of the switch hardware as swOS would.

        Hi,

        Mikrotik is a decent product and I'm always amazed at their
    features set, but...

        Using the UI to configuring the switch will punt too much
    traffic toward the CPU.  However, it is possible to configure the
    switch fabric with the cli and attain the desired results.

        It does not compare to a JNP QFX5100 or a Extreme Network
    x650, x670...  etc.

        If necessary, buy your SFP modules from FS.com and get them
        coded as Mikrotik modules at the factory - that's what we do
        for Cisco, Brocade, Juniper, Extreme, etc.

        Even the top-of-the-line Mikrotik only costs US$899.

        Thank you. The problem is that to get a price lower than U$D
        3000 I have to resort to a used device.

            Used Juniper QFX5100-48T will do it. Probably overkill but
            you can grab one cheap @ebay

                Good afternoon.

                I'm looking for a switch with the following capabilities:
                . transport for more than 20 gbps
                . link aggregation LACP
                . slots for SFP+
                . seamlessly when trunking vlans through the link
                aggregation.

                And essentially that doesn't exceed US$D 2000 and is
                compatible with
                10GBASE-ER and/or 10GBASE-ZR modules that are not from
                the vendor itself
                (e.g. SPFs: Huawei, Mikrotik, Sumitomo, OEMs).

                If any of you have a good experience with a device
                that meets these
                requirements (which are minimal with the exception of
                price and
                compatibility) ?

                Regards.
