Link Aggregation with MikroTik
Bonding is a technology that allows aggregation of multiple ethernet-like interfaces into a single virtual link, thus getting higher data rates and providing failover. It’s way more simple than it sounds, so give this video a watch!

Beautiful and brief . Pronounciation too is very clear . This looks more like layer 3 port channels. Can this be done for for mikroktik switches L2 .and how
Is it compatible with other vendors?
a jak zagregować łącza Wi-FI? tak samo?
łatwiej zrobić sprzęt ze wszystkimi portami 2.5gb a po za tym 10gb Ethernet zostało wynaleziony 20 lat temu …. a producenci go pokroili na ćwiartki i szukają frajera na pseudo postęp
How can we do bonding ? My ISP is 2 GBPS, but their router has only 1 GBPS ports, so I need to connect both ports and take out 2 GBPS, how can that be done?
Does it work also with SwitchOS Lite devices ?
On a CSS610-8G-2S+ I try to split the input SFP+ to two Gbe interfaces but only one is used.
I finally solved mlag on 2x CRS309 as was unstable. Requires RSTP (or STP) and with bonded iccp peer-port must also set ARP=disabled on the bond interface (undocumented). Verified stable on 7.6 and 7.8. I didn't retest on 7.7 but suspect this was the issue. iperf3 shows stable 9.x Gbps with any combo of links up and down. Tested on Proxmox with x520-da2. I created a ticket and noted this with suggestion to update the doc.
I had no idea you could even do this. You make it look so simple.
👌Using master slave terminology in 2023, bold. The artist formerly known as Kanye would be proud.
I tried really hard to get some RB5009UPr+S+IN's to work in my setup, but to do so would have just been too janky. Ended up just using a couple CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ's like I know you intended all along.
Also, what's the SFP+ to 2.5g e compatibility like?
I really wish they would have made That's 5009 with all 2.5 GB POE out ports and support -48 volt DC input. It would legitimately become my enterprise switch solution / router for about a hundred sites a month
This was little tricky explained ! a single client cannot make full 2g !
When will support for encap2+3 & encap3+4 algorithms be added? All my MPLS/LDP traffic is stuck on 1 bond slave.
It's actually a bit of fun doing this on older Mikrotiks, even adding wifi into the aggregation and playing with the different mode options
LACP-groups can be configures as active or passive. There is no option in ROS/Winbox. What dies ROS?
Druuuvis 😀
Just want to add, if you want to get the 2gig throughput on your laptop don’t forget to setup default route using router 2 bonding ip (10.0.0.2) and add a masquerade/src-nat rule on router 1 and 2 as well.
you can't 😀
You forgot to mention that link aggregation does not really aggregate speed of two links, so every single transmission can not exceed single link speed. Using full LAG potential in home setup is rather quite difficult and unusual.
Where do I need to move in order to get ISP with 2.5 Gb/s connection? Asking for a German friend…
speed per link is still 1G max…
Wonderful introduction video, please may you highlight the performance on the links given this setup and also the different bond protocols e.g balance-rr and their benefits and disadvantages
how about connecting 2 provides to 1 router. In a way that is can use either provide, not just one as a fallback.
Do I need to add IP address to bond interface if bond interface belongs to bridge which has dhcp?
Nice video but I will add that both slaves interfaces cannot be part of the bridge interface and in this case they are acting as a L3 point-to-point connection between the 2 routers so static routing is required to make traffic flow between them if Layer 2 extension is not used.
Thanks for video.
Please, show how to config LAG between switches(SwitchOS).
“How to bond with Druvis”😄- I see that marketing is working on attracting new customers.
Well, that's why rb5009 or rb4011 must have two sfp+ ports, not one. So you can stick whatever speed you need in both directions.
But… What about demonstration of work of this bonding? Will it clearly aggregate 1G+1G in your setup? How much CPU will be eaten to this operation?
I like Druvis kind of explanations (not against you, Victors 😉), he speaks very clear and a well pronounced english and has a phenominal knowledge. Keep going, Druvis!! 😀
I'm looking forward to the bondage video with Viktors.
I enjoy “linking up” with MikroTik to watch these new videos 🙂
