Are you using the switch chip, or just ROS Bridge? I have several in
the field without any issue, but only in ROS Bridge mode, not using the
switch chip. If I have to go out tonight and power cycle one though,
I'm hunting someone down for bringing it up.....

We have several of these in place as CPE routers and no problem
reports yet.

Sent a tech to the site and he says... none of the (GigE | FastE)

hours later so we replaced it.
The another one, he gets there and says the FastE ports show a
link but there's no traffic. Power-cycle, fixed. That one I don't
think we had to replace.
Other times, a port or two won't work. Link might come up or not,
I don't remember. I saw this with a brand-new one out of the box.
Again, power cycle = fix. It's really random and stupid.
Upgraded ROS on a few one time. Couple hours later, two of three
crashed. So now I don't touch them. If one needs to be updated, I
load a new one and just swap it out.

How did you figure that out? Does it log something about the

I've had many 2011's appear to crash for no apparent reason.
Come to find out, the switch controllers are what crash from
time to time. Sometimes all of the GigE ports stop working,
other times it's the FastE ports. I'm not a fan of the 2011s at all.

Yeah, likely the customers media converters are not Gig
capable, they are pretty old, it was disconcerting not to be
able to talk at 100M or even 10M though. I’m more worried that
it doesn’t seem to talk to a CTM-2 on a GigE port. And who
knows what else.

What ROS/Routerboard version? Does the customers Media
converter auto-negotiate, or does it only work at 1 speed?
It's been a while since I've used them, but the 1G converters I
had were only 1000base on the Ethernet port, no auto.

Well....autonegotiation failures happen sometimes, but
typically those work ok when you force the speed on the link.
In the case I'm thinking of, we could not get a working link
no matter what. It was quite awhile ago now, but I think it
would report a link was up while the input counters never
climbed above 0.
We have a couple devices that don't work with Mikrotik
devices at all. Putting a switch in between fixes it
but not ideal.

The customer ended up getting a different router.
Is there an issue with the GigE ports on Mikrotik
RB2011 not talking to some
devices no matter what settings you try? I had this
with a customer's
copper/fiber media converter, moved it to a 10/100
port on the 2011 and all
was good. Now I think I'm seeing the same thing with
a CTM. Setting the
GigE port to only negotiate 100M didn't work, no
amount of playing with the
settings worked, had to physically move it to a
10/100 port.
If this is a known problem and not my imagination,
what other Mikrotik
devices share this issue? If this had been an 1100
or CCR or CSR, I might
not have had a 10/100 port available and I would have
been stuck.
