 kdn | switch1 is cheap hardware, but switch2 is mikrotik CRS312 | 17:13:59 |
| kdn | wonder how can I test bandwidth between switch2 & router (NixOS) | 17:14:39 |
| kdn | ok... looks like CRS312 reaches 100% CPU there | 17:31:53 |
 @snaki:kescher.at | normally the traffic shouldn't pass through the cpu when you use bonding | 17:34:03 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | in ur microtik | 17:35:01 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | * | 17:35:10 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | but since it's router os i suspect there are multiple ways to configure bonding and the one you chose might be the one that does the thing on the cpu | 17:37:20 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | but don't quote me on that i haven't used router os in 4 years or something | 17:37:41 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | * please don't quote me on that i haven't used router os in 4 years or something | 17:38:06 |
| kdn | I've 0 experience with routeros myself, first time setting it up | 17:41:21 |
| kdn | seems like something might not be doing HW offloadig | 17:41:46 |
| kdn | I've bond on a bridge, maybe this is the cause | 17:42:02 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | bridges are in software i think | 17:42:24 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | the mikrotik documentation might or might not help you good luck | 17:43:02 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | (i gave up at some point) | 17:43:21 |
| kdn | I see people posting commands everywhere, where do I even access a CLI interface on that switch? | 17:45:24 |
 K900 | SSH | 17:45:40 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | there might also be a web cli but yes ssh | 17:50:50 |
 adamcstephens | does routeros even have a web interface? | 17:57:09 |
| adamcstephens | i know they have that crazy winbox gui tool | 17:57:29 |
| K900 | Yes | 17:57:50 |
| K900 | It's honestly pretty decent even | 17:57:56 |
| adamcstephens | i used a CRS for years and never felt comfortable with their CLI | 17:59:05 |
| adamcstephens | even though that's the only way i managed it | 17:59:14 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | i never felt comfortable with any mikrotik products | 18:03:35 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | i just started avoiding them | 18:03:42 |
| K900 | idk I actually think RouterOS is decent | 18:04:27 |
| K900 | But maybe it's because I will always prefer having an escape hatch to, well, not | 18:04:46 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | all people i know that own mikrotik switches that run on routeros only have problems | 18:04:53 |
| @snaki:kescher.at | i feel like it is kinda overly complicated | 18:05:20 |
