What’s new in v2.19:

*) css610pi: updated PoE firmware;
*) css610pi: added LLDP power management support;
*) fixed incorrect forwarding of reserved multicast;
*) fixed FDB flush on link down;
*) gpen21/ftc21: improved SFP compatibility with other devices;
*) removed horizontal scrollbar in GUI;

Long time no see. Syntax errors in Hosts table (introduced in 2.18) still not fixed.

Syntax error in hosts table is still present. Anyway, I deployed update on first piece without trouble.

Wow, long time since traction on SwOS lite..

Update went smooth, however I still cannot see the host table problem.
Has been non-existent on 2.18, still not there in 2.19.

The issue might depend on Hosts table size, and not occur on small networks. It’s 100% reproducible for me on a live network with a few hundreds of devices, tested with different web browsers (Firefox, Chromium, Safari). I have contacted MT support #[SUP-161444] and they reproduced it too, a few months ago. And really, I dream about a similar device but RouterOS based with CRS3xx-like features (netpower 16P was close, if only PoE-out ports could be used as PoE-in as well - which is doable by adding a diode per port, long time ago I did this myself adding reverse-PoE to OmniTikUPA).

I suppose the idea is if you need reverse PoE you use netPower 15FR (CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT) that is much cheaper, and if you need PoE out you should use netPower 16P with PSU capable of providing enough power for all your PoE devices…

Netpower 15FR unfortunately has only 100Mbps copper ports (including the single PoE-out port, serious bottleneck if used for 60GHz radio uplink). Possible workaround: take power from the 100Mb PoE-out port and data from S-RJ01 copper SFP module, combine them in external gigabit PoE injector. I have done this once, but it’s ugly. And it’s still max 90Mbps real speed for each customer, too little to compete against FTTH. Netpower 16P with small hardware mod would be much better. OK if it only works at 48V PoE-in due to power constraints (too high current in the wires at 24V).
