My CSS106-1G-4P-1S don’t see this upgrade.

Upgrade flawlessly on my CRS317, with manual update, because only version 2.7 is available yet on the upgrade page.

Good points :

  • fans are managed correctly !! :sunglasses:
  • sfp page gives more informations on FS sfp ethernet 1G.

Good job guys :smiley:

For me manual upgrade don’t work. I only see “don’t interrupt”, switch reboted (I see it uptime on router in neigbord)

None of my switches see it as an available upgrade. Have not the time at the moment to try a manual upgrade yet.

Are you sure? I did take the time to do a manual update on my CSS106-5G-1S. Prior to the upgrade, I started a continuous ping to the switch from this PC. After starting the upgrade, i missed exactly one ping and the only indication was the top section of the page now says:
Current Installed Version 2.8 (built at Fri Jul 13 2018 04:37:01 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time))
Latest Available Version 2.7 (built at Fri Dec 15 2017 00:42:48 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))

CSS326-24G-2S+ v 2.7 doesn’t see the upgrade on the upgrade page.
After upgrading manually from 2.7 to 2.8 the switch boots into 2.0p - from that version I can upgrade manually to 2.8 …

I had a mixed result. One switch mirrored your experience, and the other went from 2.7 to 2.8 without the intermediate 2.0p version. I had to upgrade both manually.

I think RSTP is still broken, though.

For me first manual upgrade caused dowbgrade to 2.4p then after second manual upgrade I’ve get version 2.8 on switch.

CRS+CSS: How many ports can be aggregated concurrently with LACP at maximum?

Does anyone else run SwOS v2.8 on a CSS326-24G, monitoring with Observium?

I see a line in the changelog that says “provide SFP port healt information via SNMP” - should I expect DOM (tx/rx power) to be made available via SNMP as a result of this?

Suggestion. If you are going to ask a question that is totally unrelated to the current topic, start a new post rather than ask in an unrelated thread. For one thing it makes finding the question and answer far easier when the subject relates to the question.

Hi we have some problems with CRS328-24P after 2.8 update
First of all, while downloading files - we have swos-css328p-2.8.bin - why CSS328??

It updates normally, but some devices - has that bug, see below link to SWOs topic

Thanks

Hi, again
Another bugs with POE tab & SFP+ tab in SWos 2.8

SFP+ tab
Until force reboot - i saw empty excels in table with (Temp. Voltage, Tx bias
Force reboot (System → reboot) - SOLVED this

POE tab
Port 22 - do not “waiting for load”

ScreenShots - here
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/crs328-24p-4s-poe-tab-sfp-tab/122074/1

Same with mine.

Also, switch was configured for “static” for the management IP but after upgrade came back as “DHCP with fallback” - which resulted in an address change. Took me a while to find the switch. Easily set back to static but if I had more than 1 of these these I’d be irritated by this.

@becs

UPD

The bug with wrong values of temp & rpm
still here.

Well, few hours later, after forced update or reboot, on some switches we have the same issue:

  • 62C CPU temp
  • 0С board temp
  • 0 RPM
  • 0 RPM
  • Empty value parameters, in some SFP+ tab excels

Of coarse, forced reboot, can solve the issue, but it repeats again.

What’s wrong with this 2.8 update?

Hello,

German IPTV (Entertain TV, MR401/201) still not working at all with this SwOS version (CSS326). No IGMP v3.
Picture freezes after a few seconds.

Latest usable version is 2.4 (with packet flood on all ports due to missing IGMP)

Please implement IGMP v3 in next update.
Thanks.

Hi!
Say us where i can find firmware 2.7p for CRS328PoE to make downgrade until some bugs in 2.8 will be solved?

Thanks

Hello,
We are investigating your reported issues about missing information in CRS328-24P-4S+ SFP and PoE menus.
Meanwhile, you can load primary SwOS v2.7p from Serial Console in the same way as on CRS326-24G-2S+

on my CSS326-24G-2S+ manual upgrade dont works.
switch not accessible(web) after manual upgrade.
to access the switch again, i had to boot backup SwOS.
i tried upgrade from backup SwOS(2.0p) to 2.8, and reset configuration - but no success.
