After upgrading from 7.1.5 to 7.4.1, routing through the second provider stopped working.
providers:
pppoe (distance 1)
2.dhcp (distance 2)
for the second route created with routing-table=MARK-ISP2
The detailed part of the configuration is attached.
All rules recreated the result is negative.
Replacing the distance in the interfaces of providers normally routes the second provider.
I don’t think MT will ever put much energy into making “various 10g sfp’s” work with all of their SFP+ devices. It’s simple: some work and some don’t, it’s by pure chance.
What you can do is to require full functionality when using MT’s own SFP+ modules. And you can carefully select 3rd party modules that work and hope no ROS upgrade breaks it. And if it does, complain hoping MT will fix the problem.
Or you can report (to MT support that is, forum members can’t help much) the modules you’d like to see working with much detail. Throw in knowledge and willingness to debug things if they ever try to get modules working.
Sometimes its possible to deduce/find the actual vendor of the module and that is usually a safer bet than anything else, other than an MT branded one.
( I only posted this because I dont like seeing MKXs name when I scan the Forum index )
the original mikrotik cable Q+BC0003-S+ (40gb dac cable = 4 x 10g) doesn't work in ccr2116 & ccr2004 - just continous link flap on the switch side. on the mikrotik side the port always stays down.
sometimes one port comes randomly up and stays up, but this is not stable reproducable and broken by next reboot.
/ip dhcp-client
add default-route-distance=4 interface=ETH2-ISP2 script=“/ip route set gat
eway=$"gateway-address" [/ip route find where routing-mark="MARK-ISP2"
]\r
\n” use-peer-dns=no use-peer-ntp=no
routing-mark (in script=) → routing-table
Also, in 7.2.2 there was a significant (good, but largely un-noted) routing change.
If you apply a routing-mark to a packet, and there is a matching rule (routing-table/dst-address) in the route table.
It will unconditionally follow the rule.
You may need to
-Add additional routes to the MARK-ISP2 routing table.
-Or mark your packets more strictly
-Or go via routing rules.
Possible changes for Routing Rule version (Not tested):
have a running 7.4.1 → OK
tried to get LLDP data from switch attached to MT → OK
renamed interface on MT facing to switch
tried to get LLDP data from switch attached to MT → NOK
MT send old interface name on LLDP
after MT reboot, LLDP is OK with new lldpNeighborPortIdDescr
MT knows better
and you known better
rest of us who want to occasionally change ifName … well, we are all amateurs
after this comment, mr Znevna, i will (again) resign and left to You and other old forum members to find bugs for free
hope you and MT will make better world, and in next release you & MT will polish everything out
good luck & bye
It was just a reply to your “dear god” reply above that was a reply to your own previous post, take it with a little bit of salt.
I forgot to say about how often admins use ROS7 in production, I’m sorry.
If you found a serious bug, report it.
But please don’t go “oh dear god imagine this bug in production!!!111 muh interface name didn’t change in LLDP without a reboot!! oh lordy this is nasty” without expecting a salty comment.
PS: the bugs are reported here https://help.mikrotik.com/servicedesk/servicedesk/customer/user/login?destination=portals
mr Znevna.
it is my right to be salty
constant messing with dhcp, then ssh keys, lldp, missing sfp info and similar basic functionality …
it could be called v7 inhouse, or v7 lets-get-fun, or pre v7 or … anything but not “stable”
but one could expect that five (5) jumps from initial v7 release, we still have lack of basic things
and v7 is only option for new devices
from this point of view, i think it is minimum to be “salty”
and another problem
as i saw here to many times, forum veterans often try to explain others that feature which is missing is perfectly acceptabel
why ?
because one need BGP and he will make 106276272 post about BGP
other need wifi roaming and will make 5636523 post about it
and if someone pop in, and start to bark on basic thing, like “please i want to see what v6 address i got from SLAAC” …
well, this will delay beloved BGP requests or whatever else
we should to stay steady on ground and all of us to shout for same basics, first
but no, instead, everyone is individual, and think he is smarter
so, really, there is no much joy anymore in this forum
