Would be nice if MikroTik would just publish a spec instead of making you do all the hard work. I begged them not to use a custom REST API and instead use the de-facto YANG standard. That way the router configuration could be authored and stored in a vendor-neutral format and transformed into someth...

How easy is it, for example, to rip out the RoS routing stack and inject a new one........ is it a modular thing?

Mikrotik couldn't fix the bug so they cut the feature.Now cake in 7.3beta40 is useless.
they did reach out to me, and toke and I both replied, but they haven't got back to us.

Can I just make a suggestion here? Why not re-write Winbox with something like Qt framework? It has all this Hi-DPI nonsense already solved.. it's built in. Bonus: Winbox would become cross-platform! I guess it couldn't be called Winbox anymore, huh?

brotherdust

We have repeated the issue. It happens if Windows window scaling is used together with Winbox zoom. Autosave no longer works. We will try to fix it ASAP.

Normis, does this mean that Winbox will honor the scaling setting so that I don't have to zoom every time I open a new session?
Thanks!

brotherdust

Hi-DPI support! YAY! I've been asking for this for years!
Wanted to report I'm having similar issues with viewing the log on a Windows 10 4k display, 225% scaling.
Attached is a picture of what it looks like to me. My guess is that it's not yet honoring the DPI scaling.

I'm actually glad it's disabled. It took me a while to figure out it was a broken feature when I first started evaluating v7. How the Linux kernel implements VRF will require some real forethought on the workflow in RouterOS. I am looking forward to what Mikrotik comes up with.

brotherdust

These features are already present in the kernel they chose to use for v7. What needs to be done is to "plumb" it into RouterOS and Winbox. Actually, there's MANY features in newer kernels that overlap with old v6 features that Mikrotik had to implement themselves. Depending on whether the...

All of you bring up great points. I think some of them can be addressed with good planning, et al central controller redundancy.

Another possible benefit? Dumber (simplified) routers. Since the routing vector calculations all take place on a centralized server, routing hardware can concentrate better on what it's supposed to be doing - forwarding packets.

Instead of managing traffic on individual routers, I would have a services console that would like me manage them as a whole.

That's a bug. You need to email mikrotik with a supout.

brotherdust

Yeah. Sounds like an undocumented feature.
Gonna have to ask support about that one.

When you create the bridge, does it get an fe80:: type address automatically?
Additionally, have you looked into the various neighbor discovery options? You may find your answer there.

I second this motion. Bump!

brotherdust

You are not alone in this issue. I have been experiencing the same thing. For me, it is triggered by changes made to OSPF on any adjacent routers. It even happens sometimes when the physical interface goes up and down. I am working with MikroTik support on this one.

brotherdust

I have had this same issue but on my BPG peer list. If I make a change to the update source, it begins counting backwards until it reaches 0. At which point, it begins counting forward again.

Although you have a diagram, I think it's incomprehensible. Maybe it's just late. I want to help you but I need more detail on that diagram. Are the offices in separate physical locations? If not, what are the cross-connects between everything signifying?

Also, in the process of upgrading ~20 or so wireless bridges to 4.3, one of them lost their license. I'm not really sure how. But when I attempt the license update I get: "failed: the key is upgraded and have changed software ID!"
