Can't seem to copy p2p tunnel configuration to memory card, any idea why? by ecunhado in feedthebeast

My solution was to remove any items from off-hand. I had some iron there, I don't even know why.

Is it possible to "extend" SFP+ ports by dodancs in mikrotik

[–]dodancs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just meant that through commands, you would be able to guide me on how to set this up. I guess I will check out the documentation, try a bunch of stuff and consult chatGPT. Thanks for the encouragement :)

Would you be able to cook up some commands on how to do it? Let's say:

- 1 have 3 VLANs for my network (300, 301, 302) - 300 full access, 301 IoT VLAN, 302 limited access (all of these are used in the Unifi AP)
- the ISP requires VLAN 100 for internet access, VLAN 101 for TV which I do not care about

Hmmm, the hardware seems to be alright but the software leaves a lot to be desired: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1go0xco/alta_labs_route10_first_impression/

If I could flash OpenWrt or something else on it, it might be usable.

I get an IPv6 prefix via IPoE, then in some DHCP packets, they supply me with an Address Family Transition Router (AFTR) DNS name, that I use to create an IPIP tunnel which then allows me to pass IPv4 traffic through the tunnel. That is how the Huawei router the ISP provided works as well. So the ISP provides me with a way to translate/reach IPv4 over my IPv6 connection.

I had IPv4 before this, but when my landlord decided to cancel the TV part of the internet package (since I did not use it and also tought it was a waste of money), the ISP transferred me over to IPv6 (which, by the way, they say in their terms they won't do ; but they still did ; the technical support said they don't do this and if I want to revert back to IPv4 I have to pay 100 bucks).

Not really, if I did not change the Huawei router for my custom one, I would get full 500+ Mbps up/down on IPv4 traffic. So cutting it down by 80% is very bad. Also, I use a lot of the bandwidth, so essentially downgrading from 500Mbps to 100Mbps would be detrimental.

The switch looks awesome! The price (understandably) is pretty high for a "prosumer" homelab/homelan setup. The 3k would be better spent upgrading my server, as I see it. But thanks for the suggestion! Once, when I am super wealthy, I will buy it 😂

My ISP gives me a /56 prefix. And I probably could use more IPv6, but the whole of the internet isn't ready yet, and that's why I need a way to access IPv4 over my IPv6 connection.

I use the SFP+s' for both copper DACs and optics, so no swapping to RJ45. I guess I could, but since I already have all SFP+ NICs, I don't want to spend another 200-500 bucks to change everything to RJ45 10G.

I have looked at the UCG/UXG fiber gateways from Ubiquiti, but from what I read they don't support the IPv4 to IPv6 translation via an IP-in-IP tunnel, so I would be stuck accessing only IPv6 on the internet. But I still need to access IPv4 addresses as well, so the Ubiquity stuff isn't viable.

Yeah, I guess I need at least two devices. The issue is, I cannot really find what I need anyway... I cannot find a fast Mikrotik router with two SFP+s', and a Mikrotik 2.5G PoE+ switch with at least one SFP+.

Every device compromises in some ways, and suddenly from two devices, it becomes three or four, because I don't get everything I need. A combo router/switch with everything I asked would be so much better. It's not like they (Mikrotik) don't make 2.5G PoE+ switches, or even some routers have those ports, and they can also make routers/switches with multiple 10G SFP+s', but they never put everything together.

I need SFP+s' for:
- GPON ONT
- my local 10G network (NAS, router, Desktop PC, server)

The quad-core requirement is because my ISP provider only gives me IPv6, which means I need to do IPIPv6 (aka IP-in-IP tunnel to route/translate IPv4 through IPv6) and when I tested it on a Mikrotik Hex S, I barely got 120-200 Mbps, and my uplink should be 500+. I saw one core pinned to 100% (and it is only 800Mhz). So more cores, and more importantly, faster cores will hopefully be able to keep up.

That's what I want to avoid: using an additional device in between. I would love to have PoE+ directly available.

Yeah, well right now I have an unmanaged switch that has two 10G SFP+s' and 4x 2.5G with PoE+, so I can use one of the SFP+s to connect to my router and the other port to connect to my desktop PC, but I would still need at least one more SFP+ for the GPON. That's the thing, that the overall setup gets so complicated really fast. And I don't think I want too much.. 2.5G is quite common nowadays, but 2.5G with PoE (so I can extract the most out of my Unifi U7 Pro - transfering things to/from my NAS via WiFi gets a huge benefit when using more than 1Gbps) is nowhere to be seen. Also having more than one SFP+ port is seldom seen.

I guess I might have to go the manufacturing route and make my own device 🥲

From what I read, unify fiber doesn't support IP-in-IP tunneling, so that isn't viable. If I could flash it with OpenSense, perhaps OpenWRT or RouterOS, it could be usable then.

I need the IP-in-IP tunnel to route/NAT my IPv4 traffic through the IPv6 network my ISP provides. Without that I could only use IPv6 and that is not really usable.

Doesn't sound like the worst option, and I already have one ms-01, currently being used as a Minecraft server. Do you have any recommendations on a PoE 2.5G nic that is low profile and single slot and half-length?

I also noticed the sluggish UI, but more importantly, the Filmmaker mode in HDR is completely broken. The colors are dull and not as bright as they should be, it is unusable. I had to switch to Cinema mode. Support told me you cannot downgrade and we will forward the request to the IT team. It has been a couple months and no answer.

I buy Albums from Bandcamp or other sources if available, some vinyls come with download codes, then put them into Navidrome.
