I decided to take a switch that we had laying around, and put it in between the EPC and the CCR.
Wouldn't you know it: the FCS errors started showing up on the switchport that the EPC is plugged into. This isn't an EPC <-> CCR issue. This, at least for us, is purely an EPC issue. This particular issue is really starting to get on my nerves... -- Nathan From: telrad-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:telrad-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Anderson Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2017 11:11 PM To: telrad@wispa.org Subject: Re: [Telrad] Ethernet RX FCS errors from BreezeWay?

I know it is not just a reporting error, because we have been having issues for a while with UEs dropping off randomly, and until now we just assumed the underlying cause was whatever issue supposedly solves this for others in the upcoming 6.6M2 release. However, looking at the EPC logs, it is clear that the UEs are dropping at least in our case because the SCTP session between the EPC and some eNB on the network breaks down. And every time this happens, I can take the timestamp from the EPC log of the SCTP failure, go over to the CCR, look through its logs, and find an FCS error log entry with a timestamp that matches up with the SCTP failure *exactly*. Not every FCS error results in an eNB disconnect, but every eNB disconnect can be traced back to an FCS error. Soo, clearly we need to get this fixed. To that end, I have tried the following: 1) Replaced the ethernet cable 2) Tried a different port on the CCR 3) Tried a different port on the EPC (that's always fun, because "reboots") 4) REPLACED THE CCR We are still seeing FCS receive errors on that port and that port only. Anybody have any other ideas? -- Nathan From: telrad-boun...@wispa.org<mailto:telrad-boun...@wispa.org> [mailto:telrad-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Anderson Sent: Monday, January 30, 2017 1:31 PM To: telrad@wispa.org<mailto:telrad@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [Telrad] Ethernet RX FCS errors from BreezeWay?

And always make sure, when upgrading RouterOS, that you then upgrade the Routerboard firmware. I think it happens semi-automatically now; you no longer need to do a /system routerboard upgrade,’ but you do still need a second reboot.

What RouterOS version is on this CCR? I think around the 6.34 mark, these started showing up in some circumstances, but a RouterOS upgrade resolves them (may just be a reporting error or hardware driver bug).

The MikroTik is reporting that it is sporadically seeing FCS errors on frames received from the BreezeWay. I have replaced the ethernet cable and also tried moving to a different ethernet port on the CCR. Neither has made a difference. I'm wondering if there is any way I can see any ethernet stats or diagnostic information from the BreezeWay's perspective. In my poking around, so far I have come up empty. I'm not necessarily convinced at this point that this is the BreezeWay's fault, mind you. I'm just wondering if anybody else has seen something similar, and how to best go about chasing this problem down. My perception is that the CCRs in particular have had a troubled history when it comes to its copper gig ports...search for "Ubiquiti AirFiber MikroTik CCR" if you want some fun afternoon light reading.
