Cloud Router Switch configuration examples
Abbreviations and Explanations
CVID - Customer VLAN id: inner VLAN tag id of the IEEE 802.1ad frame
SVID - Service VLAN id: outer VLAN tag id of the IEEE 802.1ad frame
IVL - Independent VLAN learning - learning/lookup is based on both MAC addresses and VLAN IDs.
SVL - Shared VLAN learning - learning/lookup is based on MAC addresses - not on VLAN IDs.
TPID - Tag Protocol Identifier
PCP - Priority Code Point: a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority
DEI - Drop Eligible Indicator
DSCP - Differentiated services Code Point
Drop precedence - internal CRS switch QoS attribute used for packet enqueuing or dropping.
Port Switching
Similarly to other RouterBoards, port switching on CRS allows wire-speed traffic forwarding among a group of ports, like the ports were a regular Ethernet switch. This feature is configurable by setting a "master-port" property to one or more ports in /interface ethernet menu
. The "master-port" will be the port through which the RouterOS will communicate to all ports in the group. Interfaces which have the "master-port" specified become isolated - no traffic can be received and no traffic can be sent out directly from RouterOS.
Here is a general diagram of RouterBoard with a five port switch chip:
A packet that is received by one of the ports always passes through the switch logic first. Switch logic decides to which ports the packet should be going to. Passing packet "up" or giving it to RouterOS is also called sending it to switch chip's “CPU†port. It means at that point switch forwards the packet to CPU port the packet starts to get processed by RouterOS as incoming packet of the “master-portâ€. If the packet does not have to go to “CPU†port, it is handled entirely by switch logic, does not require any CPU resources and happen at wire-speed.
Additionally, CRS series switches support multiple “master-port†configurations and have no port selection limitations for a port group which makes possible many various switched port combinations with all CRS switch interfaces. But no port can be in more than one switch group.
For example, consider a CRS125 switch with 24 Ethernet interfaces and 1 SFP interface:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface ethernet print Flags: X - disabled, R - running, S - slave # NAME MTU MAC-ADDRESS ARP MASTER-PORT SWITCH 0 R ether1 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:2F enabled none switch1 1 ether2 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:30 enabled none switch1 2 ether3 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:31 enabled none switch1 3 ether4 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:32 enabled none switch1 4 R ether5 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:33 enabled none switch1 5 R ether6 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:34 enabled none switch1 6 ether7 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:35 enabled none switch1 7 ether8 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:36 enabled none switch1 ... 22 ether23 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:45 enabled none switch1 23 R ether24 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:46 enabled none switch1 24 sfp1 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:47 enabled none switch1
And there are configured 3 switch groups: 1) ether2, ether3, ether4, ether5, ether6; 2) ether13, ether14, ether15, ether16, ether17, ether18, ether19, ether20; 3) ether21, ether22, ether23, ether24, sfp1.
Ports ether1, ether7-ether12 are not switched in this example, they remain as independent router ports.
[admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> set ether3,ether4,ether5,ether6 master-port=ether2 [admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> set ether14,ether15,ether16,ether17,ether18,ether19,ether20 master-port=ether13 [admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> set ether22,ether23,ether24,sfp1 master-port=ether21 [admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> print Flags: X - disabled, R - running, S - slave # NAME MTU MAC-ADDRESS ARP MASTER-PORT SWITCH 0 R ether1 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:2F enabled none switch1 1 R ether2 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:30 enabled none switch1 2 S ether3 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:31 enabled ether2 switch1 3 S ether4 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:32 enabled ether2 switch1 4 RS ether5 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:33 enabled ether2 switch1 5 RS ether6 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:34 enabled ether2 switch1 6 ether7 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:35 enabled none switch1 7 ether8 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:36 enabled none switch1 8 ether9 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:37 enabled none switch1 9 ether10 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:38 enabled none switch1 10 ether11 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:39 enabled none switch1 11 ether12 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:3A enabled none switch1 12 R ether13 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:3B enabled none switch1 13 S ether14 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:3C enabled ether13 switch1 14 S ether15 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:3D enabled ether13 switch1 15 RS ether16 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:3E enabled ether13 switch1 16 S ether17 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:3F enabled ether13 switch1 17 S ether18 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:40 enabled ether13 switch1 18 S ether19 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:41 enabled ether13 switch1 19 S ether20 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:42 enabled ether13 switch1 20 R ether21 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:43 enabled none switch1 21 S ether22 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:44 enabled ether21 switch1 22 S ether23 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:45 enabled ether21 switch1 23 RS ether24 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:46 enabled ether21 switch1 24 S sfp1 1500 D4:CA:6D:F9:FE:47 enabled ether21 switch1
Now ether2 is the “master-port†of the group 1, ether13 – of the group 2 and ether21 – of the group 3.
Note: Previously a link was detected only on interfaces with a physical connection, but now since the ether2, ether13 and ether21 have connection to CPU, the running flag is propagated to them, as well.
In essence this configuration is the same as if you had a RouterBoard with 10 Ethernet interfaces and 3 switches:
Note: Dynamic reserved VLAN entries (VLAN4091; VLAN4090; VLAN4089; etc.) are created in CRS switch when switched port groups are added by setting new master-ports. These VLANs are necessary for internal operation and have lower precedence than user configured VLANs.
Note: Multiple master-port configuration is designed as fast and simple port isolation solution, but it limits a part of VLAN functionality supported by CRS switch-chip. For advanced configurations use one master-port within CRS switch chip for all ports, configure VLANs and isolate port groups with port isolation profile configuration.

Port Isolation/Leakage
Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch
port-isolation
Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch
port-leakage
The CRS switches support flexible multi-level isolation features, which can be used for user access control, traffic engineering and advanced security and network management. The isolation features provide an organized fabric structure allowing user to easily program and control the access by port, MAC address, VLAN, protocol, flow and frame type. The following isolation and leakage features are supported:
- Port-level isolation
- MAC-level isolation
- VLAN-level isolation
- Protocol-level isolation
- Flow-level isolation
- Free combination of the above
Port-level isolation supports different control schemes on source port and destination port. Each entry can be programmed with access control for either source port or destination port.
- When the entry is programmed with source port access control, the entry is
applied to the ingress packets.
- When the entry is programmed with destination port access control, the entry
is applied to the egress packets.
Port leakage allows bypassing egress VLAN filtering on the port. Leaky port is allowed to access other ports for various applications such as security, network control and management. Note: When both isolation and leakage is applied to the same port, the port is isolated.
