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.
Chris

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
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

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
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

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

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?

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.
