Hi, I am thinking about buying a router 10, but I would like to know a few things that I could not find the answer online first.
Does the router support IEEE 802.3ad (now IEEE 802.1AX) dynamic link aggregation on the 2 wan ports?
I use DHCP to handout static IP based on MAC address. Is this supported? The small business has around 180 devices. Can I upload some sort of CSV with MAC,IP,mDNS_name to configure these static IPs?
MAC address cloning for WAN. We have a static IP from our ISP, but it is attached to a MAC address. We want to set a custom MAC on the WAN ports, is this supported?
I’m waiting with bated breath for link aggregation!! I have 2 10G DAC cables connected to my core switch. One of them is off for now with anticipation…. It’s the only additional feature I need on Route 10!
Hi, the link aggregation feature is part of the new 1.4x firmware? I noticed some mention of multi-wan.
Also, I have maybe a novice question, but why is the router management interface not incorporate with the router? I see there are 3 options: cloud, local hosted on some server, or buying the control unit. This is the first time I see this, the hardware seems capable of hosting a page to configure it. Is asking for the control to be added to the router something that could be suggested as a feature request? I will be replacing a router that is the bottleneck since only have one WAN 10gbps port, but the management is done from the router itself.
Link aggregation and multi-WAN are two separate, independent concepts. Link aggregation hasn’t been released yet.
Currently all our devices are strictly controller-managed rather than individually-managed. That makes things much easier, especially when you have multiple separate APs and switches, plus the router. SSH to the devices is available if/as needed for troubleshooting, and temporary config can be done that way to some extent. Route10 doesn’t have enough RAM to run its own services and the controller as well, so they can’t be combined. It could run a web UI to handle just its own config, but no such thing exists at this time. Generally our customer base has multiple APs and switches per-site, which makes controller management a big win for consistency and ease of use.
Hi, I have a question about your not enough ram comment. I was trying to look up the specifications. All I could find is 1 x 2GB ram and 16 eMMC flash and for CPU Qualcomm IPQ9570 quad-core ARM SoC. Is this correct? This information for some reason seems to be missing from the datasheet of the product.
