Upgrade issue and loading config fails

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi all,

After using my RB2011 for some time I decided to upgrade to the more powerful CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ to fully utilise my 500/500Mbit fiber connection. I expected the migration to be very smooth, however after hours of frustration I feel I’m not getting closer to a working setup.

Two main issues:

  1. The router doesn’t update RouterOS after placing the update package at root and rebooting the router. The router reboots but ignores the update package. It’s running the latest firmware.
  2. When I configure the router manually using Winbox it works fine. However when I’m optimising the setup, export the config and upload the config again only 20% of the config is processed. The rest of the code is ignored.

I feel both items above could be signs of a more serious issue with the CCR.

To provide a total picture, the CCR is directly connected to the NTU via ether1.

Regards,
Heavy Element

For the failed upgrade, make sure you uploaded the correct packags.
For CCR units use the Tile version of the package. The RB2011 uses mipsbe packages which are different.

When you are importing your config, which looks fine by the way, does it give any errors?
Is the unit running with default config or completely clean? Make sure it is clean before importing otherwise it will see some objects already existing upon creation on which it will fail.

Item 1 is clearly resolved as this was an user error. I tried to apply the mipsbe packages :laughing:

Item 2 is still work in progress. When I apply the config line by line via Winbox using the terminal it works. However when I import the config it fails to import most lines.
