Not sure if this is a known issue, but after I’ve upgraded to 7.14, my CCR2004 becomes intermittently connecting and generating below error messages:

I am very puzzled by these messages. All these ports are connected to RSTP enabled switches, while these ports themselves are under a bridge which has RSTP enabled. And, there’s no loop on my network at all. I don’t understand why there could be looped packet, especially there’s no such issue with 7.13.5 and many versions before. It causes severe connection issue on my network, that as you can see somehow the WAN port will change its MAC address and get reset, while my winbox connection to the router will stutter too.
Also confirmed 7.14.1 has this issue too.
I’ve tried to remove some of the physical links, it did not help. It seems that for any switches with RSTP connected to the router, it will generate this message. I can eventually remove all switches from the router, only connecting my laptop and the WAN, it would still reset on the WAN and causes stuttering.
Please help me understand what’s the situation here and how to make 7.14 work with the router. Thanks!
Did you maybe load a backup file from a different device?
Otherwise, show the config of your bridges. Did you set the admin MAC address and is it the same as the ethernet MAC address of a port (of the CCR2004 itself) in the bridge?
Yes, that is bad!
Reset the device to defaults and configure it again.
You can use /export and paste it to the router, but you can NOT restore a backup from another device!
Sadly that could be a bit hard because it will require me to interrupt internet. What’s bad about this, except interface MAC addresses? Because the WAN is set to that MAC due to the interface must use this MAC to work with WAN.
Hi all, @pe1chl, I have reset the router and manually reapplied all configuration, then upgraded to 7.14 now. However the issue is exactly the same, that there’s message about looped packets, and WAN resets frequently.
Did you set (or have set by the defaults) the admin-mac of the bridge to the MAC of the first ethernet port in that bridge?
Can you send the entire /export for interface, bridge and bridge ports?
There must be some dup MAC
Is there no other router in the network running from a backup of a different device?
Actually I found that when I set the admin-mac on the bridge, the resetting stops, and only getting looped packet messages at boot up. Although still puzzled and this is not optimal, at least the network works now.
Here’s the full export on interface, bridge, and bridge ports:
So to update on this, I am inclining to believe there’s something wrong with the 7.14’s RSTP implementation. Once I have switch connection events, I see a lot of log items regarding looped packets and conflict ARP, and causes switches to be blocked for a long period of time. Again, none of these makes sense, as that although I do have RSTP enabled on the network, there’s no loop to begin with.

I’m running several routers with RSTP, but for me the current “stable version” is 7.12.1
So I am not running 7.14 on any production device… only in test environments where there is no bridge.
So maybe try installing 7.12.1 and remain on that version for some time (until the many new bugs in 7.13 and 7.14 have been resolved)?
So it is a known issue? I have the router on 7.13.5 now which seems to be stable enough for me. I will wait for the situation to be fixed then. Thank you for the help!
