RouterOS 3.0 final??? WOOT!
yes it is :>
when add 802.11n driver ?
eg AR5416 、AR5418
The version number doesn’t concern me too much, its been working good. But I do have a question…
Did the multiple CPU and the L7 filter problems get resolved or are we still advised to turn those features off? These are problems documented and responded to my MT staff in the last 13/14 versions.
Thanks,
Scott

Official release with officially unstable multicore support - it’s a bad joke 
+1 multi-cpu
At least it’s final.
Will be some time till we’ll get it all smooth and running in every possible situation.
For me it works in just about every case.
Anyway, rc14 had the most significant amount of changes since rc1.
If you say it’s “good to go”, our trust is rising …
+1 - definitely interested in this too
What multi-core have to do with Mikrotik???They only use Linux Kernel - not write it.
For those who are not aware of situation lately there are problems with latest Linux Kernel and SMP (multi-core). Some of the hardware is working fine some not. AFAIK problems are with drivers
I tried standard Linux web-proxy on the same box as my Mikrotik web-proxy and results was the same - it crashes.
only solution at this point is to find Linux open source drivers where everything is fine with SMP, but in Mikrotik with the same Kernel and same hardware there are problems - send to Mikrotik those drivers.
So far I am unable to locate such drivers for that particular box, so i use other (AMD,ATI)- no problems.
You are right.
But. We are using RouterOS like a complete solution, but not as a driver.
We got the prepared package and want to utillize this package but not collect it.
You have complete package with multi-cpu=no by default.
Think about multi-cpu as additional feature, witch may or may not work because of limitations of Linux Kernel.
… or you prefer that they will take this “incomplete feature” out for good?
Idea about finding drivers were a little bit different, but I guess there is still popular illusion that for 35$ you should get everything without even a drop of sweat, so I guess there is no point to argue.
OSPF locked up on a RB333 2 hours after installing, requireing a reboot to before routes came back online, however I forgot to make a supout…
ForePoint,
it would be great, you
can generate support output file before reboot, if there will be the same problem with OSPF.
Send it to support@mikrotik.com
Thank you !
Hey, take it easy!
This is a technical Forum.
I don’t discuss the price of the RouterOS.
I like this System. I’m ready to pay more for this System.
But in this case we wanna to solve problem with an additional feature of this Great System.
Is it Ok?
Forepoint,
Was your OSPF issue related to v3 also present in RC14? Has anyone else used OSPF in v3 and not had a problem. I want to upgrade my routers but OSPF operation is required. I am using RC14 without issues currently. There was nothing in the change log for ospf from RC14 to v3 so there should not have been any changes to cause problems not already in RC14.

you have to understand that RouterOS uses the linux kernel which currently has this multicore issue. We are giving you RouterOS with singlecore mode by default, and you can try this multicore if you wish. We are just giving you this option to try it. We could ignore this feature altogether of course.
Hey Normis… Thanks for the post. Personally, the multicore issue I don’t care about as my cpu is less than 10% all the time anyway with about 50MB of traffic through it.
I am interested in hearing about the L7 status though and what your thoughts are on having it solid / or if you believe it works fine currently. There have been some posts in which MT staff has recommended to remove any L7 rules in order to fix the indicated problem. I understand this is a new feature and is also not required - we appreciate MT being as aggressive as they are to implement new features based on user requests, you all have done a superb job. We (I) just like to know what to use freely without issue and what I might do to cause myself a problem which is the only reason I asked for clarification on these two items I knew about.
Thanks Normis,
Scott
I understand you. Thank you for your great job.
I’m really like the RouterOS.
I will just waiting for RouterOS with the stable SMP module of linux kernel.
It’s very bad when you pay for an L6 license and can’t use ROS for full, because one CPU is not enough…
multi-cpu should be fixed.
there is not one reasony why one core would not be enough. either your configuration is flawed, or you just haven’t tested the actual performance of a good cpu.
even the rb1000 can handle any setup you can imagine!
