OS v5.0 - VLAN bugs - No GO

elgo · April 3, 2011, 10:55am

Hi,

My 450G is fully operationnal with 4.17.

This are 3 problems that prevent my board to be operationnal on 5.0:

cant modify switch-all-ports, answer is “mirror-source does not belong to switch”, and “none” isnt recognized, so that if you define a valid interface there, you wont be able to “undo”. Bugs not there on v4.17.
pppoe-client (over a vlan on an ether1 non switched interface) isnt working anymore. I get this during past hour:

02:20:00 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-fibre: initializing...
02:20:00 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-fibre: dialing...
02:20:03 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-fibre: terminating... - disconnected
02:20:03 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-fibre: disconnected

vlan secure mode is quite borked: vlan-id 0 has to be set, ok I’ve seen this on wiki, but the cpu port isn’t recognized anymore as a valid port for declaring vlan 0:

set ports=cpu numbers=0
port does not belong to switch

It’s not a problem unless you have a master port in your interfaces list… which is my case of course.
Even with cpu port declared (like when migrating from 4.17 where it was operationnal), ports concerned by master-port setup aren’t operationnal.
What confirms that cpu port is involved and not taken in account is this:

interface ethernet switch host print
Flags: D - dynamic, I - invalid
 #   SWITCH                                              MAC-ADDRESS       PORTS                                              TIMEOUT DROP MIRROR VLAN-ID
 0 D switch1                                             3E:2D:A1:BC:94:DA ether3-LAN                                         2m30s   no   no
 1 D switch1                                             00:0C:42:7F:40:75 (unknown)                                          2m      no   no

5.0 went stable, ahem…
Bug 1 was there since last RC (which was the first I tried back then).

I revert to v4.17.

Well, after thinking a bit, there may not be any pppoe-client related problem, if it’s simply VLAN management by cpu port which is deficient.
Both problems may have the same cause.

bug has been mentioned here also: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/routerboard-documentation-and-mikrotik/45243/1

I’m sure there will be a fix. Any time frame on this?

kirshteins · April 5, 2011, 6:17am

We are looking into these problems. Thank you for the report.

willy · April 5, 2011, 7:01am

Hello!

Krishteins: i received a mail from you about 3 weeks ago with same content. What is the state of this bug?

kirshteins · April 5, 2011, 12:32pm

This bug is fixed. Currently it needs to be tested internally. This issue will be resolved in v5.1.

elgo · April 5, 2011, 1:56pm

Thanks for this clear status report.

Should I open a separate thread for the switch bug on “switch-all-ports=yes/no” command?

kirshteins · April 6, 2011, 5:10am

We are aware of this bug as well. It will be fixed in next release.

Maybe my problem is related: Since 5.0 on RB750G I can’t add static MAC to switch port (Switch - Host - New Switch Host), neither modify previously set hosts, this error appears: Couldn’t add New Switch Host - vlan-id not supported for this switch (6)

I don’t use any VLAN. Could you check it please?

kirshteins · April 7, 2011, 11:02am

Thank your for the report. It seems like Winbox bug. Works fine from terminal.

elgo · April 8, 2011, 2:18pm

No reference to the 2 bugs mentioned in my OP in 5.1 changelog, is it normal?
Fixes were postponed to 5.2?

mrz · April 8, 2011, 2:27pm

those bugs should be fixed in v5.1

willy · April 8, 2011, 4:43pm

WARNING! Please DO NOT install 5.1 if you have Atheros-8316 switch chip in use!
Board ssh communication stopped immediately after you type “interface ethernet switch p” (not able to write after to terminal) (issued on p as port or print, and h as host)
(winbox works)

zervan · April 8, 2011, 7:31pm

Adding static MAC to switch port using WinBox now works in 5.1, thanks!

elgo · April 9, 2011, 4:16pm

Does this SSH problem only occurs during update or does it persist after a reboot or more of the router?
I’m not too concerned about webfig being broken on 5.1 (I only use CLI), but if working with CLI through SSH is not reliable, I still can’t reasonnably upgrade from rOS 4.17

Jeroen1000 · April 9, 2011, 6:48pm

Is the VLAN-bug fixed now? I see no mention of it in the ROS 5.1 changelog.

elgo · April 9, 2011, 11:46pm

kirshteins · April 11, 2011, 5:46am

I cannot reproduce this problem. Is there any addition actions to trigger this problem. What is the configuration in those sections?

Fatum · April 11, 2011, 9:24am

I have this same problem (and more with switch chip)
Ticket#2011041166000202 (with supout.rif from 5rc10 - last working for me)

willy · April 11, 2011, 10:34am

Are you serious? I reset board configuration to default to check this problem exists. The result: problem exists if board in defconfig. How to prove it?
