Thanks, and yes, that worked. [[ I had tried netinstall on a machine with VLANs before, which is the only quick way I can get netinstall running. It didn't work then, but it does now: I built a clean VLAN which, critically, didn't have any other DHCP server in it, brought an interface up on a Linux ...

I want to migrate to 7.x, and my plan is to put 7.12.1 (which I believe is the stepping off point for migrating 6.x configurations) on a spare 450gx4 I have, replace my existing 6.latest 450gx4 with that, and then once I've assessed performance get something more modern. So I have taken the spare, u...

I have a small home network with three access points and two routers, plus some switches. I am planning to do some significant restructuring of the VLANs, and at the moment I have the problem that (it feels like) every time I make a change to the routers it has the effect of restarting and reassocia...

My wireless network at home consists of: 2011UiAS running 6.45.7 (and consistently running the latest stable bits) 3 x RBcAPGi-5acD2nD also running 6.45.7, configured using CAPSman, with upgrade firmware served from the router. Local switching is enabled. There are three SSIDs on each of 2.4GHz and ...

I have a relatively complex IPsec configuration (tunnels to five end-points, running on three different non-Mikrotik platforms, both IPv4 and IPv6, plus an L2TP-over-IPsec dial-in VPN which I configuration in pieces using the IPsec menus directly rather than the "IPsec secret" option on th...

The voltage displayed for an RB2011UiAS is not plausible. 1143.7V?

As a general point, 6.33.2 still for me has wildly incorrect dates on graphs within webfig (2151 to 2152). This has been the case for, oh, ages: in fact, I don't think I've ever had graphs this isn't true of. "Monthly" is misspelt as "Montly" in the same screen. https://www.batte...

Attempting to use Webfig gives "Error: Not Found" at the login screen for some source addresses (I can't quite figure the pattern out: I was at one point trying 0.0.0.0/0 and ::0/0 as permitted and still have the problem when accessing remotely). Works reliably when connected via L2TP+IPSe...

Here is the memory use on my 2011UiAS under 6.27 over the past month and the state it ended up in 11 minutes after restarting on 6.29.1, moments before the router restarted, 100% CPU, memory almost exhausted. When I installed 6.28 it ran for a few minutes before watchdog-ing because of memory exhaus...

Rapid reboot loop, out of memory, 6.28. Fine with 6.27. System initially ran for about 30 minutes, but then entered reboot loop with a time constant of less than 30s. I managed to scp the 6.27 .npk package in during one brief window and then run "/system package downgrade" in the next to r...

I've just tried an upgrade on a 2011-UAS from 6.18 to 6.19. Various devices are connected to the switch ports, some of them using VLAN trunking; three VLANS are present. The hardware ethernet switch is not being used, everything is going via the CPU. There is a PPPoE connection to the Internet. The ...
