Tak jsem našel tuto informaci:
Provedl jsem test, v tom bridge módu je procesor vytížen a propustnost max. 40mbps, podle dalšího nastavení viz. fŕum výše. Ale v tom módu switch, je opravdu propustnost vyšší a cpu není vytíženo.
Já jsem dosahoval propustnost cca 56mbps, ale asi také záleží na rychlosti PC, mám starý PC, který nemá mo rychlé HDD na IDE. Možná někdo bude dosahovat vyší přenosové rychlosti. Když tak napište.
Jak se tedy nastavuje switch mod:
je to jednoduché v položce interface se nastaví master port.
tzn.: pokud mám RB150 který disponuje ether1,.....5.
ether5 - WAN
ether4 - LAN
ether3 - nastavím na master port ether4
ether2 - nastavím na master port ether4
ether1 - nastavím na master port ether4
Pak porty ether1,...4 se tváří jako switch.
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21439I just did some testing because I was curious about this...
Minirouter 5-port
TEST 1 (bridge mode)
from eth1 to eth5 lan test via two computers through the router with v3.6
port 1 and 5 bridged
tcp throughput standard settings just about 43MB max.
TEST 2 (switch mode)
same test with eth 5 set to master port eth1 (thus enabling switch mode)
tcp max throughput was about 80MB I think - it was significantly more and the cpu was bypassed for the most part - wasn't busy at max throughput.
Problem I could not overcome...
Prior to running tests above I added IP address to eth1
in bridge mode I could ping the ip address of eth1
in switch mode I could not talk via IP to either eth1 or eth5 no matter what I tried.
This would lead me to believe that I could use this as a managed switch but I lose all routing / ip abilities on any ports in "switch mode"
What would be extremely useful would be to have this configurable as say a standard router from the store in switch mode for higher throughput. 1 port was wan IP other 4 in switch mode with internal dhcp and lan ip configs for client devices. Is this possible? A $30 router from the store has less performance hardware but it can do this? Is there no way to achieve this, am I missing something? It simply may not be possible due to the implementation here but I wanted to ask....
