SwOS Lite version 2.14 released!

Any update about SFP(+) compatibility fixes?
Running 2.13 and it works, afraid to upgrade to 2.14 especially if remote access is over fiber connection that might break.
The devices really should have a dual firmware feature - upgrade, reboot and login to confirm (within a timeout) the new firmware is working properly, if timeout (like 10 minutes or so) passes without anyone login and confirm, then reboot back to the old version. The same should also apply to any configuration changes that might result in loss of remote access.

22

This would be awesome, especially on the configuration side like a Netonix in the aspect

23

Is your IPv6 router running ROS?
This sounds like the (still unfixed) bug where igmp-snooping is filtering out neighbor advertisements. Check your neighbor table if hosts are showing up with their correct mac address, and if they reappear in the list after they have timed out. I think it’s about 4 minutes.

/ipv6 neighbor print

Which version are you running and what is the igmp configuration of the bridge?
I’m running 6.47.10 on my router, because this is the last version, where IPv6 and IPTV work without issues, as long as multicast-querier is turned off in the bridge.

/interface bridge set 0 igmp-snooping=yes multicast-router=permanent multicast-querier=no
24

When are we getting a new version that fixes IPv6 multicast?

I’ve got several 610 based switches and GPEN21 units along with RB260Gs units in a layer2 network for FTTH and it’s currently generating like 40k pps of IPv6 multicast/broadcast type traffic floating around my switches/network.

Which kills a lot of customer wireless routers with 30-40Mbps of small packet multicast/broadcast traffic hitting WAN/Internet ports constantly.

Also with SFP compatibility in GPEN21 please add/test generic fiberstore SMF BIDI adapters to your list, we buy a TON of pairs of those for use in Mikrotik “ONT” devices like the GPEN21 and RB260GS.

25

Are the many reported SwOS Lite 2.14 issues still being tracked and worked on?

  • SFP(+) module compatibility
  • IPv6 multicasts
  • what else?
    Or is this product abandoned, and something better is in the works?
26

Is Mikrotik ever going to offer Perpetual PoE on newer switches?

Kind regards.

27

It’s been months and no resolution on IPv6 multicast and no fast leave optoins etc.

I’m getting 40k+ packets a second on some layer2 segments using GPEN21 units because of this problem that IS STILL THERE!!!

Please please please someone at Mikrotik fix this and release a new SWOS Lite version so I can upgrade all my GPEN 21 units and stop this nonsense!!!

28

LOGS
IS THERE any possiblity to add to good hardware (CSS610-8G-2s+) logging !???

29

SNMP + LibreNMS, gets me stats about health, throughput, link up/down events, interface errors, stp, etc.

30

snmp status you got only when you request something then device answers , is it only possible solutions for SwOs ?

31

and I see that no on SwOS either !!! CRS series

doesn’t understand why Mikrotik doesn’t want to add history or at least syslog to collect history of information, warnings and errors ?!

You mean syslog? No option on SwitchOS lite.

32

Syslog ? SwOS cannot make a connection to another IP address. IP implementation without netmask or gateway, answers with same IP address and same MAC address as the initiator connected.

And the upgrade tab? Connecting to the software distribution for release information and upgrade? No, SwOS is not doing that, the browser is combining multiple sources.

But + 1 , for having a LOG in SwOS.

33

What are the proper steps to downgrade from 2.14 Switch OS Lite to the original 2.12 Switch OS that came with my CSS610-8G-2S+switch?

I have the correct version I believe:
https://download.mikrotik.com/swos2/css326/swos-css326-2.12.bin

I try to install the file by clicking the upgrade button, it accepts the file but in reads in red fonts on the OS page to wait but it never installs the firmware.

I tried to do a reset as well by holding down the switch on powerup but that does not load the original firmware either. Just clears all the setting and leaves version 2.14 on there…

Upgrading to 2.14 made my Brocade SFP’s (FTLF1421P1BCL) unreachable. They show as linked but I cannot connect to them nor see them on my router

34

AFAIK this switch only uses SWOS-lite, not SWOS … different firmware “products”, although versions might make you think these are related.
When the switch hit the market, it was shipped with a release candidate (v2.12rcX) of SWOS-lite, hence your thinking to go back to that version number.
This firmware had never been officially puplished, I think.
There are same threads in the routerboard or swos subforum, where other, older version (pre v2.13) popped up from time to time after users complaining, like here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/css610-8g-2s-in-no-link-on-sfp-with-intel-x520/146985/46

Edit: also, here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/css610-8g-2s-in-swos-release-tracker/146905/15

Note that the sibling (outdoor version, netPower Lite 7R) of the switch has a different firmware file, so look closely when searching.

35

Thanks…I put in a support ticket. If they reply, I will ask for version V2.12rcX . I would assume someone on this forum may have it? A web search shows ZERO hits with that tag of V2.12rcX

36

which sfp+ module do you use in the CSS610?

37

I use SFP, Brocade FTLF1421P1BCL-F1

38

Thanks so much for your help!

My issue is resolved. The software that originally came with the switch V2.12rcX is in fact the only that that works with my SFP’s

Here it is if anyone can’t afford to be down for 6 days while waiting to get it from techs

39

Is this firmware still being developed?
SwOS Lite 2.14 is quite a few months old, and was reported to break compatibility with some SFP(+) modules that worked in 2.13.
Are all known bugs being tracked, and are there any RC versions to test in an attempt to fix them all?
Or is this hardware abandoned, and will be replaced by something better (ideally, capable of running ROS)?

Ingress Rate does NOT work on the netPower Lite 7R. Egress Rate works but not the Ingress Rate.

Anyone knows of some fix? TIA
