Hi, I had the same query. Here is the response I received:

http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 62#p369564

PietRetief, both firmwares are working ok. We will update to the newer firmware for those boards in next RouterOS release.

PietRetief

@uldis, thank you

So far so good, wireless links and OSPF are behaving well.

PietRetief

Hi, I just upgraded from Ros5.25 on a RB433, RB750G, 5Ghz RB711G and SXT All of them were running firmware 3.07 (that came with Ros5.25), but now the SXT and 711 state that their latest available firmware is 3.02? Is it safe to run 3.07 on them or should I downgrade to 3.02 for those 2 routers. Rega...

Good day. Is it possible to call the /tool profile from inside a script, then use the output as variables? I am able to use the wireless monitoring tool, but I cannot figure out the syntax to use the profile tool: :local wlanFreq 0; :local noiseFloor 0; /interface wireless monitor $wlan once do={ :s...

PietRetief

Wow. I must say, the complete lack of response from Mikrotik on this issue is getting to me. @Mikrotik: How hard would it be to start supporting hashed passwords, as an optional setting by the user. I am happy if this breaks The Dude, BW monitor, API, etc, because what I want is to create a "ro...

PietRetief

Any word from Mikrotik?

Or is it safe to assume that nothing is going to happen surrounding this issue?

PietRetief

Normis, I think you guys completely misunderstands how password hashing works. Simple Hashing would be: password_hash = algorithm(password) This has a problem in itself that one could use a lookup hash table to easily get the password. However this can be overcome by using a salt: X must be constan...

PietRetief

API does not send plaintext password, it sends MD5("\x00" + password + challenge) - so the result is different every time in spite of that, it's possible to save MD5 registers after hashing ("\x00" + password) - and then server will be able to construct MD5("\x00" + pa...

PietRetief

Tell me again why the rb needs to store the plain text password? because API protocol does not support encryption %( p.s. that's not true, they can store pre-calculated not finished MD5("\x00" + PWD) value for API logins So should the API not be update to take the text given, hash it, the...

PietRetief

I did read. But to verify that hash we need plain text password on the router. Bullshit. You do not need to have the plaintext password so that you can hash it and compare the hash. What the hell? Procedure: I type password "secret" into winbox and click login. winbox creates a secure conn...

PietRetief

I have been directed to this thread when I raised the issue of insecure passwords to support. Here is my view: You cannot use "keep your backup file safe" as an excuse to a very poor security design. And using 400 different passwords is also not an option (we manage 400 nodes). We have use...

PietRetief

Same here, can someone please post a working example of how to use this? @Mikrotik, can you use the new QoS feature in NV2 to give certain packets priority over others now without using queue and/or trees? Silly example, can I give priority 1 to any port 80 traffic, while giving priority 2 to port 2...

PietRetief

Hi guys, I tested on Ros5rc5 and the ping command works when used in a script again!

Thank you very very much!

PietRetief

Fixed, wait for next version.

Thanks mrz, I cannot wait to get my claws on RC4 then

PietRetief

NV2 is more important tan scripting. Wireless PtP links rarely use scripts.

Does NV2 give you dynamic QoS limits on fluctuating links due to change in ccq, noise, etc?

PietRetief

I am sad to say, the problem is still present in RC2 (2010-Oct-27 16:20)

Lets hope they fix it before 5.0 final.

PietRetief

I emailed support and this was their response: Right now we are working on more serious bugfixes. We will fix ping as soon as possible. v5.0RC1 = v5.0beta7 IMO Yup, exactly the same response I got. I can understand that they have more important problems, it is just a pity that this one part happens...

PietRetief

Hi dssmiktik, thanks for the reply. I checked and yes, it looks like the ping works when you run the script via the terminal. But if you run that script by running clicking the icon on winbox or via the scheduler it does not work. Please see attached screenshot: 1 - ran via terminal, output is corre...

PietRetief

Hi, I checked RC2, the problem is still there.

PietRetief

Good day. I have been busy on a different project for a while now, and have only recently had time to look at this ping script again. I loaded Ros5 beta 6 and the ping script is still not working. I will send a mail to support as well, I just wanted to keep this thread updated too. Please see attach...

PietRetief

*) console - /ping command again returns number of ping responses received,
didn't work in 5.0beta3;

Thank you very much

PietRetief

I did

Sadly no reply yet, but I am sure they are busy with it. Just wanted to get some confirmation.

PietRetief

Can anyone from the Mikrotik staff please confirm if this problem will be addressed in beta4?

Or if there is a way to get this script to work on beta3?

Thanks

PietRetief

Thanks for the help Chupaka.

PietRetief

Hi, sorry, I did not realise you do not have beta3 available. Here is the output from beta3: [admin@rb433ah] > ping 172.18.254.134 interval=500ms count=10 HOST SIZE TTL TIME STATUS 172.18.254.134 56 64 241ms 172.18.254.134 56 64 220ms 172.18.254.134 56 64 280ms 172.18.254.134 56 64 330ms 172.18.254....

PietRetief

Hi Chupaka, thanks for the reply. I see the two outputs differ. Now the question is, how do I get the original result as this new method breaks my current scripts

PietRetief

I recently loaded a script on a routerboard running ROS 5.0 beta3 and the output is not what I expected. The following is an extract of the scrip to illustrate the problem: :local otherside 172.18.254.134; :local latency [ping $otherside interval=20ms count=100]; :log info ("Ping timeouts "...

not necessarily, you can run the user manager in the same device as your RouterOS (if the machine is powerful enough). it's just another routeros package. That sounds perfect :o Stupid question: can a readonly user see what goes on in the user manager? apparently he can :) sorry for that. we are ha...

Stupid question: can a readonly user see what goes on in the user manager?

PietRetief

no, RADIUS is just an external database of user credentials. RouterOS ppp section will be told to look in the RADIUS if a user exists or not. That way, only people with access to RADIUS will see passwords. This is useful for situations where you have multiple access locations (like country wide hot...

PietRetief

password is one parameter, routeros doesn't have the ability to control viewability of certain parameters. we could hide certain functions though, but that won't help you. I suggest using a RADIUS server to store all your passwords, in this case you will not have this problem. Even user-manager cou...

PietRetief

If you give a user read rights, then they will be able to read the ppp secrets (inc passwords). They will not be able to see user passwords, but they will be able to see everything else. What exactly do you want them to know about that is going on in your RB? Ron Hi Ron. I use the RB411 to connect ...

PietRetief

Good day, I would like to know if the following setup is possible: I have a RB411 that I use to connect to a wireless network. This network is free and open, and I want to have a read only user on my RB that anybody on that network can use to see what is going on on my RB. The problem is that I also...
