6.5 released!

http://www.mikrotik.com/download

What’s new in 6.5 (2013-Oct-16 15:32):

*) tftp - added data packet pipelining for read requests;
*) console - exported physical interface configuration uses ‘default-name’
instead of item number to match relevant interface;
*) console - report all constituent errors for parameters with multiple
alternative value types;
*) certificates - merge ‘/certificate ca’ into ‘/certificate’, use set-ca-passphrase to maintain CA functionality;
*) lcd - backlight option is replaced with “/lcd backlight” command
*) dhcp server - added option to disable conflict-detection;
*) console - ‘:return’ does not trigger ‘on-error=’ action of ‘:do’ command;
*) route - fixed crash that could be triggered by change in nexthop
address resolution;
*) route - some imported VPNv4 routes were not using MPLS labels;
*) route - imported VPNv4 routes were not always updated or removed when
the original route changed;
*) winbox - fixed problem where all settings were read only on first open;
*) ovpn server - use only ciphers that are allowed not that client requested;
*) ssh client - fixed public key authentication;
*) ipsec - fix peer mathing with non byte aligned masks;
*) fix routerboot upgrading if RouterOS is partitioned;
*) add support for second serial port on CCR boards;
*) fix serial port baudrate selection on CCR boards;
*) ethernet interface stats that are behind switch chip
show real hw stats instead of just the traffic that goes through cpu;

i wonder - am i the only one, who received an exact copy of previous notification (6.4) ? :slight_smile:

We are sorry about 6.4 notification, some of users might receive message about 6.4, others should have 6.5 :slight_smile:
Anyway 6.5 is available for download.

I just upgraded three units to version 6.4

Is there something wrong with the upgrade using loose packages ?

raymonvdm
please proceed to download page to download 6.5 version,
http://www.mikrotik.com/download
and upgrade your routers to 6.5 version.

I first need a way to recover the units as one of them is 130km away, this can be some kind of an issue :frowning:

raymonvdm
Where did you get such links for those packages?
I have checked all download page, and there is no 6.4 package in 6.5 directory.

Sorry my bad, i just downloaded the 6.4 versions yesterday and just dropped the wrong file link. My actual problem is that the unit which is upgraded using the upgrade packages is fine. But the units upgrade with the all_packages zip no longer work after uploading all used packages and a reboot.

raymonvdm get local access to your board and check where the booting stopped.

Still not working SMB with Android (4.x). Mikrotik (RB951) generates autosupout.riff. Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows work.

Please send v6.5 support output file to support (support@mikrotik.com).

does not work ovpn server and client

Ulypka
Please provide us with more information.
As well send support output file to support (support@mikrotik.com).

I got serial console access to my RB450G board and it looks like the ethernet interfaces are lost.

Your issue is more related to v6.4 (not to v6.5).
After power off/on. Do you have the same problem?

Seems firmware-3.10 ruined NAND on RB2011, after upgrade to 6.5 and then upgrade firmware to 3.10, upload files to routerbord via FTP was at 4-5 Kb/s and then i discovered that during upload cpu was 100% load and bad blocks appeared. So now it has 0.9% bad blocks. And yes I’ve tried reinstall RoS via netinstall but still have 0.9% badblocks.Also tried different combinations with firmwares 3.08, 3.10 and ROs 6.4 and 6.5, both ROs have problems with 3.10 firmware.

As a result firmware-3.10 have bugs with flash at least on 2011UAS-2HnD.

ivanich,
Do you have any problems when router is idle with 6.5 and 3.10 firmware?
0.9% bad blocks does not mean you have a problem. Short time CPU load is normal too.

No, when router is idle all seems fine, but coping files to RB via ftp causes total unresposive in WEB interface and ssh, slow copy speed and sometimes reboots by watchdog.For example tried copy 1Mb file to RB, it takes ~10 min and all this time cpu was at 100%, after that another 0.2% badblocks added.

My problem is also related to 6.5. I have done the following to resolve the issue

  • Reset to factory default settings
  • Firmware downgrade to 5.26
  • Restore email.backup

Unit is running fine

When i upgrade the unit using 6.5 the unit is broken again. The issue seams to be related with the ethernet switch as it does not now the switch type after the upgrade to 6.5 and all ethernet interfaces are lost. When i factory default the unit the interfaces are back normal but i need to reconfigure the complete device which will take me several days.

Can you please test the upgrade process from 5.26 till 6.5 using an RB450G ?

What is the easiest way to force upgrade from 6.5 RC to 6.5 RELEASE? Router assumes its running 6.5 so it doesn’t seem to want to upgrade from earlier 6.5 version to release 6.5
