Mikrotik & Catalyst

Sometimes I found that network connection between Mikrotik and Catalyst doesn’t seem to work smooth.

Problem:
Ping timeouts, bad connectivity, data loss

Check:
Show status on catalyst’s port connected to the mikrotik interface. You’ll find some  errors and CRCs.

Workaround:
Set the  catalyst port to autospeed and auto duplex, set the mikrotik interface to fix 100mbps, full duplex.
If that not solve, try vice versa or other combinations.
Most of the time solve the problem.
