I'm planning to set up a new networking system for my new double-storey house. I'm thinking of placing a MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN on the first floor and a CRS112-8G-4S-IN on the second floor, with multimode fiber for the interconnect.

Is it possible to configure LACP between a CRS running RouterOS and a CSS running SwOS?

EDIT: Not supported for CRS112, supported on CSS610
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/pages/viewpa...ageId=103841835
"The Trunking in the Cloud Router Switches provides static link aggregation groups with hardware automatic failover and load balancing. IEEE802.3ad and IEEE802.1ax compatible Link Aggregation Control Protocol is not supported."

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/SWOS...0+series+Manual
"IEEE 802.3ad (LACP) compatible link aggregation is supported, as well as static link aggregation to ensure failover and load balancing based only on Layer2 hashing. Up to 16 link aggregation groups with up to 8 ports per group are supported."

Original message:
I did a quick glance at 1xx/2xx switch and example. It's never mentioned so my guess would be no.
Don't quote me on it though, just a very quick glance

Thanks man for the research. So the CRS is not supporting LACP, only static bonding without any control protocol.

10G not enough for your usage?
I think 10G should be enough for next 5 years for most people.

My advice just pull 1 fiber and 1 ethernet cable to every room in your house for future proof.
Incase you want to setup 100% super stable high speed wifi mesh in future.
And you can also have 10G Lan port for any device you want in every room.

The biggest effort is actually pulling the cable between the floors. I actually don't mind whether it is a copper or fiber, the cost is not that significant (apart from additional cost for the SFP/SFP+). Redundancy is important, that's why I am pulling two cables. I can start with 1G if I want and replace it with a 10G SFP in the future. But yeah, thanks for the input.

I agree that whatever standard came out after CAT6A is irrelevant and more of a marketing gimmick. Copper is still relevant for speeds below 10Gbps, anything beyond that will require fiber optics cables for efficiency and cost optimization. Want to use CAT7, CAT8? Go ahead, won't be much differences except for the placebo effect.

I think i found an answer to my previous question on how to establish a link aggregation between CRS and CSS.

This guy is showing the exact thing that i want, but i need to speend >1k to verify this LOL

The last time, I posted when I achieved buffer bloat grade A.

Today, I am posting because I finally got Adguard container up and running on my L009UiGS-2HaxD(arm). took me at least two weeks and had to view the network berg many times and also seek co-pilot help to finally get it to work. Also bought a kingston kyson 512gb(over provision, rm126), I only finally got it to work, after I ask co-pilot, "how do I setup my Adguard on mikrotik> step by step" yes network berg is quite detailed, but my firewall setting had tiny mistake in it, I think... specifically the NAT>dstnat>udp>53> LAN(I did not specify this before) > redirect > 53.

2. I also Uncheck "allow remote requests"
3. Disable Use Peer DNS under DHCP client...

after that Adguard was up and running like normal. but the Adguardtest page still say my Adguard is offline.

Even now I feel I may have missed out some setting in my firewall settings and I feel so insecure...

I am doing this Adguard mainly because my household, got children and old folks who constantly getting bombarded by Ads which I feel they may not understand or is dodgy... and I am too occuppied most of the time to monitor them, even though I set timer for them to be on tv/youtube /youtubekids...

i would rather setup my adguard on any cheap SBC, rather than running it on mikrotik container.
