Hello everyone,
All routers and switches are running 7.13.5.
I've poured over all the documentation, so I apologize if I'm just dense and didn't see the answer. I've gone over these two pages with a fine tooth comb:
viewtopic.php?t=183142
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... troduction
After reading those, I determined that as of now, I need my IP firewall, so I opted for the "FastTrack Connection HW Offloading"
So I ran these commands:
/interface/ethernet/switch/port set [find] l3-hw-offloading=no
/interface/ethernet/switch set 0 l3-hw-offloading=yes
I have this as the first firewall rule:
/ip firewall filter
add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward comment="FastTrack for established and related connections" connection-state=established,related hw-offload=yes
However I'm experiencing some really weird issues.
Example A:
I have two CCR2216's connected with the 100Gbps interfaces. They usually push 5-10Gbps. On Saturday, randomly, with no changes made they started pushing 85Gbps TX and RX. All I did was log in and turn l3-hw off and back on and the traffic went back down to 5-10Gbps. Then I logged into the router this morning and it's back to 85Gbps... I turn l3-hw off and back on and it goes back to 3-4 Gbps...
Example B:
I have a CRS328 that's behind a CCR2116. The CCR2116 is configured the same way. When I try to winbox into the CRS328 switch it's extremely slow, hardly loads, or updates. I turn off l3-hw offload and boom, the switch loads, updates, refreshes and life is good. What's weird I have another setup on the network that's identical, and it doesn't have this issue. With l3-hw enabled the switch loads fast and is responsive.
Example C:
I have two CCR2216's connected together with the SFP28 ports (So they are negotiating at 25Gbps. As soon as I enable l3-hw offload, they immediately start pushing 20-25Gbps between them, when they usually pass 3-4Gbps. I turn it off, 3-4Gbps. I turn it on, back to 20-25Gbps.
Any ideas? Do I have something configured incorrectly?
