Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Hello,
I'm trying to replicate the Mikrotik setup posted by rtho782, but I'm using a slightly different setup, as I do not have a 10GB LAN.

I'm using a hex-S, hoping this would work with the device.

I am trying to set up 2 bonded interfaces in a bridge as follows

Bridge Name: VMBridge containing:

Bonded interfaces:

1>AsusBond (ethernet ports: 2,3) 802.3ad

2> VMBBond (ethernet ports 4,5), balance-rr

However there seems to be no communication between the 2 bonded interfaces, they both show as connected, but I fail to see traffic pass through the bridge from 1-2 and vice versa.

The device plugged into ports 2,3 can't contact the device plugged into 4,5

ARP is disabled on the VMBond, as per the advice, but I cant get it to work, having left it for a good 15 minutes after rebooting all of the devices concerned.

Any help/pointers would be really useful. Thank you

MY Firewall detects the 802.3ad Link aggregation but it informs me the my ISP's DHCP isn't working, and I cannot see or get to the VM Hub 4 on 192.168.100.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My config is as per the attachments. I appreciate I may have done something wrong, I'm no Mikrotik expert, I'm new to their stuff, having come from a WatchGuard background for the last 5 years.

Thank you in advance.

I had to have ARP enabled on both bridge and bond otherwise it would not create the bond on my setup.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

With or without ARP on the bonding and bridges, it still fails unfortunately.

I feel like I'm *almost* there with this, but my lack of Mikrotik knowledge might be why I cant get it to connect.

I get about 512b/s on the VMHub bond every few seconds but I guess that's just discovery chatter.

Any further help would be wholly appreciated.

I have to use a device between the SH4 and the ASUS as they both expect different aggregation/bondings (ASUS requires 802.3ad and the SH4 expects RR)

Thank you

Chris

Might be some more info in there

Hello,

Thanks for the informative posts, I've got my Mikrotik Hex-S set up similarly to that, the only difference being is the link back to the firewall is also a bond, running 802.3ad as the firewall has 2x 1GB ports on it.

The firewall reports the LACP connection, but just informs me that the ISP's DHCP isn't working as expected, nor can I get to the Virgin hub on 192.168.100.1.

I still think I'm missing something, but I've attached a less-than-ideal MS Paint diagram of the setup (physical).

Best Regards

Chris

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

The postcode checker has changed from how it used to be and thinks that I am moving
house. The little green window isn't there anymore so I can't find out if Nottingham has Gig 1 yet.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Just say yes you are new to Virgin Media and moving in on the checker here as that's based on arranging the 'existing' account closed first https://www.virginmedia.com/join/availability

It will list Gig1 on the broadband tab if it's available

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Still not available in Woking. Looks like I’m limited to 650 for now.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Thanks Ben,didnt see a broadband tab but it said they would send a Superhub 3 which to me is a sign that its still 600 mbt in my area which is area 30.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Glad to see it is now in my area... Does anyone know how much it might cost to add to Ultimate Oomph bundle?

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

I can get it in Newcastle, shame the upload is so poor in comparison

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Ultimate Oomph with Gig1 is £111 without any offers I think.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Very surprised that it's *not* in relatively recent project lightning RFoG areas like Weston Super Mare - very near Bristol and you'd think given the recent nature of this build they would have been a bit forward thinking.

Great thanks
