Just a little bit of thinking…will help You.
Winbox > IP> SMB

I see that now backups have the hostname as prefix, instead of Mikrotik! A lot of hand-renaming saved! Thanks!

6

anyone tried on x86?

Seems like they have forgotten the interface for “use BFD” in OPSF/BGP when adding a BFD menu.

8

appreciate the SMB feature but its still needs lot of some improvement.
specially with the dialog box, i hope it not pop out dialogbox for guest user :slight_smile:

9

user manager - command to create and assign user profile from console;

woouh…finally thank’s :slight_smile:

We will improve the SMB feature in the next release.
What kind of dialog box you saw?

Hi,

IPv6 works fine with reply-only on the bridge interface but now IPv4 don’t work. Seems like it does not reply to ARP requests. I have not done a wireshark yet…

12

does it support sierra wireless mc8801 or novatel expedite e371?

13

we have only tested Bandrich C501 modem. I think sierra modem uses different driver. Connect the modem to the usb port, make support output file and send it to support@mikrotik.com, we could check if it uses the same driver.

14

i think cards that connect on pci port…

15

you ment mini-pci-e interfae cards?
They connect to the USB interface so maybe it is possible to add, but as I told you we would need support output files to check if it is possible.

Hi all,

I am curious about the quickset feature for the SXT, 411 and 711.

Does anyone know where it is hiding?

Hmmmm,

perhaps this is router specific?

I upgraded my 751U with 5.12 and did not see the quickset menu above the interfaces.

I realise it is for the SXT, 411 and 711 but generally all boards have shown the same menus even if they cannot support it.

Thanks for your reply, I will have a look on some of my SXT’s and 711’s.

I’m not seeing it on 411s.

Is there a field that must be enabled somewhere?

Random changes and other odd stuff that I’ve noticed in 5.12 (some of these maybe from 5.10 or 5.11):

  • The SMB service

  • Lots of export enhancements and changes, including things like ordering changes (“/snmp” and “/system routerboard settings”), and things which no longer export (“/user group” polices, “/system scheduler” and “/system script” policies, “/store”, “/ip ssh”, …)

  • Various tweaks to the WebFig UI. BTW - If you don’t see some change take effect there when you think that it should, you may have to flush your browsers cache.
