I’m using server testing with routeros with 2,9Gz clock and 2 gigs of ram, license level 4 and routing-test package.
When i’m using it to receive bgp international full routes(about 282k routes) it’s fine till all been received,
but when i want to list the routes in ip-routes terminal window from winbox the the router overloaded with 100% process
for about 20 minutes like “hang” but it’s not, just cannot be accessed for the mentioned time and then after that when
all routes had been listed the cpu process back to normal(about 1%) and the router can be accessed again but if i take another action in winbox sometimes the router process overloaded again for a while and so on.
So is it bug or what?
I’m using BGP on routeros server with last version in 3.x with license level 4 for about 2 years now
today when i asked a friend about problem above, he gave me link that bgp cannot be ran on just level 4
must be lv 5 or greater (http://www.mikrotik.com/pricelist.php) but i have been using it since and works with no problem
just like this link (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Software_levels).
Is the first link is not up to date version unlike the wiki version?
No that’s not a bug. The host CPU is busy creating that list you just requested and possibly sorting it. You could try enabling multi-cpu to take advantage of multiple cores and/or cpu’s, but eventually some lock internally will slow you down since some thread of code has to read the list of routes while it’s not changing. Anyway, the moral of the story is “don’t do that”. Only ask for the parts of the routing list you want to look at. Why do you think the IP-Routes GUI dialog in Winbox will not load your full list of routes and forces you to use filtering?
Search the forums. The licensing has changed throughout the years and I remember someone posting something about that change.
yes i know it’s good to find only part of the routing list, but the mikrotik still don’t have the capability to filter not spesific
or even within the range of network address as far as i know. for example if i wanna try to find which network belongs to ip address of 10.10.11.1 and where it goes the if the ip turnout belong to 10.10.10.0/24 subnet then i must explicitly type 10.10.11.0/24 in filter column, not 10.10.11.1 or 10.10.10.0.
another example if the ip belongs to subnet 10.10.10.10/23 then i can’t enter 10.10.11.0/24 to find it.
so if i know which ip belongs to a network in a public network address and the mask without visiting free route-servers
what’s the use of ip-route gui in mikrotik? CMIIW cause i don’t know what wildcard that can be applied in the filter column.
i hope mikrotik can do as good as sh ip route/bgp in cisco does in the future.
