*) added support for SSTP protocol (PPP over TLS);
*) added support for multiple Intel Ethernet cards;
*) added support for IPv6 over PPP
(enabled by default if ipv6 package is installed),
link-local addresses are assigned, and server can issue IPv6 global prefixes
to clients per ppp secret or RADIUS reply (Framed-IPv6-Prefix);
*) added proper support for MPLS over PPP (by default it is now disabled);
*) fixed RB800 temperature;
*) silentboot feature updated;
*) WinBox - any file dropped on WinBox will be uploaded to router;
*) multicast - fixed possible crash during PIM startup;
*) report platform name in "/sysrem resource";
*) fixed problem - vlans were not working on RB750 ether1;
*) fixed mac address handling on RB750, some specific arp requests did not work;
*) more than two dns servers allowed in /ip dns;
*) sniffer and torch could process packet from other interfaces;
*) ospf - fixed DR and BDR election;

Somehow USB does not seem to be working with 5.0 beta 1 on a RB433 UAH.

It doesn’t matter which device i plug in (modem, flash disk, …) it is not recognized in system resources usb, and umts modems also don’t generate a serial port and ppp client.

So, is it possible that USB is completely broken in 5.0 beta1?

4

it doesn’t show in resources, but it should work in ppp

5

But how should i configure a ppp client if I don’t have a usb serial port?

6

send supout.rif file to support please

Hi,

Did that a few minutes ago, should already be in your ticketing system :slight_smile:

Additional info:
I just did an upgrade from 4.5 to 5.0 beta1 with the usb modem attached during the upgrade.

after 5.0 beta1 boots up, the usb serial port is still recognized and working.
if i unplug/replug the usb modem, the serial port is not recognized anymore, and reboots do not fix it.

8

modem could be missing because of a driver change, but USB disks should definitely work

9

OK i just tried another usb flash stick and it works.
well, maybe the other one is broken.

I think the modem driver is still working, because if I upgrade from 4.5 to 5.0 and the modem is connected, it works normally after the upgrade until I unplug it for the first time, afterwards it is no longer recognized. well, maybe some strange hotplug issue…

10

The first flash drive worked in v4.x? If yrs, then plug it in the v5 and make the support output file and send it to us. Maybe you have a support output file from v4.x where that flash drive was working?

About the usb modem, after remover try to delete the port and reboot the device and check again. We will look into that issue.

11

Hi uldis,

no the first flash drive is now not working anywhere :slight_smile:
Seems like a strange coincidence but it really looks broken now.

deleting the usb ports and rebooting does not bring the usb ports back by the way.

if you want, I can give you remote access to one of my RB433 until tomorrow, tomorrow I need to install it at a customer :slight_smile:

When I open WebFig it just sais

WebFig Beta

and nothing happens?

  1. don’t forget the trailing slash
  2. wait …
14

OK I’m in. The ##, ## etc stuff is not working but you know that already…


Its a little sluggish. I like the original WinBox when it works really fast so I can do my job lightning fast and I can feel how fast it is, you know?

15

things in #red# don’t work yet, it’s an early preview.

16

It doesnt work with HTTPS it just reloads, I need to config everything securely since a lot of radio links are sniffable etc.

17

Install in VMWare (latest) from ISO stops at this screen:
and keyboard capslock light just blinks.


P.S. - same halt with Sun VirtualBox :laughing:

lol :slight_smile:

18

Having same issues as NetworkPro is having with VMWare. Tried on 3 different systems with the ISO for x86. Is this a know issue?

19

PPP Secrets and PPP Active don’t work in webfig :frowning: It’s say “Cannot call method ‘toString’ of undefined”

R52NH 433 AP, R52N 411 client.
Changing the AP to 10MHz or 5MHz mode apparently doesn’t change the channel width. The CPE associates just fine without changing channel width and continues to move too much data for half and quarter channel.
