LACP with mikrotik crs125G-1s

Post by hoboristi »

I have a mikrotik crs125G-1S switch connected by 2 cables to nas4free hardware, and tried to configure LACP in the following way, but not worked:
on nas4free: bge0 and bge1 added to lagg0, and lagg0 set up to lacp
on mikrotik side: the two connected port added to bond interface, and selected L2 hash policy

How can I configure it properly?

Yep, Ihave read that page, and crs site also, on mikrotik side it was a bond, with 2 slaves, the hash policy of bond was layer2, other values was default. Bonding mode was 802.3ad, and on nas4free side bge0 and bge1 were slaves of lagg0, which was set up to lacp..

I am waiting for my CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ to arrive, then I will test a few things with n4f and let you know the results.

Hi there :)

I received the routers but I still have to find some time to test stuff. I'll get back to you this weekend.

Was kinda busy, sorry :x

I tested in LACP mode on both sides and it didn't work, no link came up. I wonder if static link aggregation would work (?)

I read here that for Nexus switches, vPC recommends using LACP in active-active mode. Have you tried that on the CRS ?

Also, this guy says that balance-rr works better than LACP.

RR seems working, but also put load on the cpu, because of bridging bond and master-port interface.. And I cant find any useful method to avoid that.
