Linux Bridge 10Gbs speed

[frednks]

Hi
when I create a Linux Bridge, it always has a speed of 1Gbs.
How do I make the speed of the linux bridge interface at 10Gbs
I'm using proxmox version 6.1
it's possible?

Why do you think the speed is limited to 1Gbs (I am not aware of such limitation)?

 

[frednks]

I'm using VM as a router, using RouterOS from Mikrotik, the CHR version made for virtualized environment.
when I set up the bridge interface on the vm, if I put E1000, CHR raises the interface with 1Gps. When I leave Virtio, CHR goes up with unknown.
I'm going to do a troughput test leaving virtio to see if it passes more than 1gbs.
sorry for my English. I'm from Brasil!

according to :
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CHR#CHR_LicensingYou will need the the P10 license for 10 Gbit/s
You will need P-unlimited license for >= 10 Gbit/s.

60-day free trial license is available for all paid license levels. To get the free trial license, you have to have an account on MikroTik.com as all license management is done there.

Do you by any chance have a P1-License or a trial for a P1-license ?

 

[frednks]

I'm using the free license for now, I haven't activated the P10 yet.

but, take a look at this print.
CHR goes up the interface with trading at 1Gbs, not 10Gb
in this print, in black is the bridge linux interface, see that it is negotiating 1Gb.
Now in red is the SFP + interface, see that it is trading 10Gb.

my question is, why the bridge interfaces linux is 1Gb, this has nothing to do with the license of mikrotik

@frednks
Please use virtio in the VM>Hardware>Network Devices

if you have use Intel E1000 it is 1G Max

ok when i leave it on virt in CHR it is unknow, however i have not tested the network troughput, i will do that.

@ermanishchawla
can you help me, I went to update the network card and did not run the command #make install
do I have to install build-essential to run the make install command?

It will be 10gbps

Why you need to build from scratch for update, just download updated driver from your OEM

 

[frednks]

I download driver on the intel page, but when I run the #make install command
it gives an error something about the kernel version

is there any other way to install the driver?
I tried for life clyfe from dell, downloaded all possible drivers and firmware related to NIC Intel x520-da2, and none worked!

I will use it as a router, I will route packets and traffic media of 2Gbs per port sfp+.
I need to have the correct driver to avoid problems the way it is now, it's working fine, mikrotik CHR accepted the card, but I haven't done a stress test yet!

i have same issue
are you able to fix this ?
i don't use router in proxmox
only one vm and i get 1gb
