I’m seeing some odd behavior on my hEXr3 (RB750Gr3), on 7.10.1 (Or my understanding is somehow incorrect, which is probably more likely) This configuration causes the bridge to not see the other bridge on ether5 (It remains thinking it’s the root bridge with priority 2000, rather than seeing the o…

The Switch Features chart indicates hAP ax lite uses a MT7531 switch chip. That’s a different model, but the same vendor as the MT7621 in my hEXr3. I wonder if there’d be any benefit opening a support ticket to make sure they’re aware the issue affects both chips? Another indication that the sw…

Mikrotik Support responded to me with the same workarounds as suggested in the other forum thread: Few possible workarounds for hEX: disable RSTP, disable HW offloading, or setting trunk ports as “edge=yes”.

Did they acknowledge as a known issue on the MT7621 based devices (with MT7530 like switch ASIC) as well as the MT7531 switch ASIC in the hAP ax lite? I also found this [net-next,4/6] net: dsa: mt7530: Add the support of MT7531 switch and this CONFIG_NET_DSA_MT7530: MediaTek MT7530 and MT7531 Ether…

The reply was pretty terse. Here’s the whole thing Hello, Thank you for the report! We have managed to reproduce the issue locally in our labs and look forward to fixing it on upcoming RouterOS versions, unfortunately, I cannot provide a release date now. Few possible workarounds for hEX: disab…

Changelog for 7.11rc1 suggests this issue is now fixed: What’s new in 7.11rc1 (2023-Jul-28 09:52): *) switch - fixed BPDU packet processing on MT7621, MT7531 with HW offloaded vlan-filtering;

Sweet, then I don’t have to bother to test … :unamused:

Initial testing suggests the issues is not fixed. Just curious, have you reached out to them about your previous ticket? Did they ever send you any update? Edit: I was mixed up, it was @thn80 that opened the ticket (see this post ) And the was using hap ax lite, not hEX. When I reported a p…

Initial testing suggests the issues is not fixed. Same on AX Lite. Not fixed. But RSTP and HW offload can be used now. Only problem: VLAN filtering needs to be deselected to make it working. Can’t be the intention, I guess… Edit: STUPIDO !! Bridge needs to be added to tagged ports. It DOES …

Also tested on Hex. Same, it works there. @skyhawk : how did you test this ? Can you share your config ?
