CCR-1016
still port-flapping
in more obvious way.
before 6.6 ports were going down and that’s it
now it flaps ports many times before restart by watchdog.
first week on 6.6 was very stable I thought it is final holy aid…
no…
On RB450G, when I change the MAC of ether1 to match the one required by my ISP, no stats are displayed. “Overall Stats”, “Rx Stats”, “Tx Stats” windows are empty. Traffic graphs are OK. This error is present since 5.23 as far as can remember, but for all 6.x versions I tried on this router, for sure.
My Personal opinion is that Ver 6 is a beta version.
To get an answer on the successful implementation is a little far fetch.
In short if you need a working system with some bugs 5.26 is good if you need to get involved with the beta testing of version 6.X then version 6.X is the one you should use.
thinks for the information . We do not use any of the routing mpls , ospf … or any other feature of the Router OS.
It is simply a ap and a link. We learned that OSPF gave so much problems in the past that we simply installed another suppliers router.
We now have Madwifi installed on Centos and it works with Intell chip set H61M… yet Router OS on the same 386 MB crashes…
“We learned that OSPF gave so much problems in the past that we simply installed another suppliers router.”
We learned the same thing but we needed to keep Mikrotik devices for the time being, so we still use RIP which is working as it should. Tnx for the advice.
We have large multi-type multi-area OSPF networks with MikroTik and all works. We peer with our customers with OSPF for redundancy, it all works.
In one particular datacenter, we even peer with the data center with OSPF in a separate OSPF instance, which we then redistribute into our internal OSPF instance, and it all works.
What OSPF issues are you talking about? Have you made sure it was not your config that was wrong? Did you report the issues to support?
Take a RB800.
Update it to ROS 6.6.
Update the BootLoader (fw) to 3.10
Put either a Ubiquity SR-71-15 or a DBII F50-N Pro or a Mikrotik R52-nM or a Mikrotik R5-SHPn mini-PCI card into whatever slot you like. (put just one card at the time!)
Turn on the RB800.
Connect with Winbox, and…: there is NO mini-PCI card present under the Interfaces menu.
… now comes the tricky part…: DO NOT turn off the RB800, just do a simple reboot… and, voila… the card appears!
Then try this:… turn it off completely (cut the power) Wait for 30 seconds… Turn it on… and, again, there is no card in the system…!
NOTE: this “trick” was performed ONLY with the cards I mentioned above and ONLY with RB800! Non “n” cards are working flawlessly.
I tried this with 4 different RB800s!
I even did a complete ROS 6.6 Netinstall… but to no avail…
And then, the solution to this problem…:
Downgrade to ROS 6.4 (I did this with Netinstall)
Downgrade the BootLoader to 3.07 (This is the important part!)
Upgrade back to ROS 6.6
… now, put one of the aforementioned cards into whatever slot you like… and they are appearing even during the first cold start.
They aren’t vanishing after a power cycle either…
