Upgraded a testbed hapac2 so far working

I’m super happy with the BGP addition in SNMP; bgpPeerTable (https://oidref.com/1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3)
It would be awesome if

are also added for some NMS-products.

Why is a stable version released with a half-hearted implementation of the change in time format?
I think it is a good change in principle, but it seems controversial for scripting (discussion elsewhere) and now we have a mix of formats all over the place.
Would it not be better to make the complete change, or roll back when it cannot be completed, at the point of stable release?

Upgraded Rb5009 non poe. Seems to be working fine.

Also they know that are a problem on dates show on webfig, and I just found that it depends of your browser timezone.

Hello
*) l3hw - added monitoring options for L3HW utilization (CLI only);

How to use it?

Anyone test on a Hap ax2 or 3? I can’t test until later but I’ve been stuck on 7.8 because of a stability bug introduced in 7.9

Fix for WiFi will be in 7.11 so stay at 7.8

L3HW monitor: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/L3+Hardware+Offloading#L3HardwareOffloading-Monitor

Usage:

/interface/ethernet/switch/l3hw-settings monitor

/interface/ethernet/switch/l3hw-settings/advanced monitor

.

The following Bug which was introduced in 7.9 still exists:

Re: v7.9 [stable] is released! – Post by usx » Mon May 08, 2023 9:12 pm

There is a new bug in WebFig. When toggling the enabled/disabled state from disabled to enabled, the entire row stays grey as if it were disabled.

For example in WiFi Interfaces or Firewall rules, I think it applies all the tables with rows which can be toggled.

.

Other than that, no issues on mAP

What fix are you referring to? This release has several fixes on wifi wave2.

Just updated to 7.10 firmware and routerboard on RB5009 everything working as expected with MA5671A.

RB4011 after update lost ovpn.
Connecting
Established
Disconndcted

detect UNKNOWN
I am not sure how was before
Any ideas?

Still waiting to get a response from MT of how this is to be used and why it was implemented… ???
*) firewall - added “endpoint-independent-nat” support;

I’ll second that! When will this be fixed??

Endpoint-independent NAT is documented in the help pages and has a link to an RFC describing what it might be used for.

Clients can not connect WiFi only reboot will help. Check forum there is plenty of reports.



“Endpoint-Independent Mapping” is defined in [BEH-> UDP> ] as follows:

The NAT > reuses > the port mapping for subsequent packets sent from
the > same internal IP address and port > (X:x) to any external IP
address and port.



“Endpoint-Independent Filtering” is defined in [BEH-> UDP> ] as follows:

The NAT filters out only packets not destined to the internal
address and port X:x, regardless of the external IP address and
port source (Z:z). The NAT forwards any packets destined to
X:x. In other words, > sending packets from the internal side of
the NAT to any external IP address is sufficient to > allow any
packets back to the internal endpoint
> .



A NAT device employing the combination of “Endpoint-Independent
Mapping” and “Endpoint-Independent Filtering” > will accept incoming
traffic to a mapped public port from ANY external endpoint on the
public network
> .


Simply put, the whole World can have access to that permanently open port in the NAT.

Basically it’s only for online play, if you can’t configure UPnP or whoever programmed the game did it like shit.
Once the connection from the PC/Console to another host is opened, any other host, indeed anything else in the world, not only the game
can reach the gaming peripheral, with the consequent security risks.
