Any word on PPPOE Server that supports MLPPP? I have seen some info (from a couple years ago) asking and saying it wasn’t done but wasn’t sure of the current status.
We are a smaller ISP interested in purchasing a few hundred CPE’s RB750GL and standardizing on the same Level 6 X86 PPPOE concentrator on the same platform. This is a stumbling block for us unfortunately. Is there any update?
Hello Folks!
We are also upgrading to 5.6 from 5.4 and 5.5, 4.17.
So far on RB411 (CPE) and RB333 (Routers), RB450G (Routers).
There has been some incidents, when upgrading RB450G and RB411 from 4.17 to 5.5 they never came back up on the network, visiting the router’s we discovered that all ethernet leds were off but blue led was on. Fully dissconnect the power and put it back again solved the problem. Upgrading from 5.5 to 5.6 was not an issue.
Please MT, can you do something about the upgrade scenarios, like automatik failback, and automatik restart on previous firmware. Failsafe functions should be implemented like last known good and so on. Other devices we have do so, like our IBM AIX servers.
The devices should never be dead in water exeption is if there are hardware problems.
Hello Folks!
Ufter upgrade from 4.17 to 5.6 on our basestations RB600 we recieve very low Tx7Rx CCQ values, before it was 90-100% now it is something like 24-30.
Tx/Rx Rate went down to 9Mbit/s and vanders around 96-24 with jumps up to 54Mbit but most of time around 6. Before it was rock solid 54 Mbit/s everywhere.
Can someone please explain what is going on here and help me to fix this issue before customers wil start calling in about bad internet ?
Are readings while a data stream is on the link?
Depending on your chosen data rates CCQ will step up/down depending on data throughput. In v5 versions this is more obvious (with NV2) than before.

perform a wireless scan on both ends and show us the results. Also give us your other NV2 parameters.
These signals are when there is silence, it confirms your comments. When traffic flows it gradually steps up till the maxim limit, in my case 108Mbit/s for those links. And yet after some hours no complaints (it never have been in this sector) so I guess all is back to normal.
Thank you for the swift anser!
There is a bug with 4.1X when you try to reboot it shuts down instead, discovered this as usual the hard way when a weekly scheduled reboot resulted in routers shutting down, this is fixed in the 5.X series so i never reboot a 4.x series unless i am close by to re-cycle the power.

Thanks!
We still have many ros4.17 RB411 CPE spread out over a wide area, hard to reach, upgrades are planned.
yogii,
Is in testing,
Dzieva.
petro25, your settings looks ok. Show us the result of a 5, 10 and 20Mhz frequency scan of the band you use from both ends. Your issue can be interferences related. Any other units on same tower?
I notice that RB493G still uses the wrong port numbers for Ethernet interfaces when the configuration is reset. Will this be fixed in the next release?
oeyre,
thank you very much for the report.
We are working on the problem.
Is it OK if I upgrade my RB each time when new upgrade release ?
Maybe.
If your RouterOS license, other policies, and hardware allows it.
For example this router should be upgradable through future 5.x and 6.x versions based on the license (aka anything before 7.0 whenever that appears).

Strange behavior or of the interface speed graph.
x86 , ROS v5.6 , RealTeck 1G ethernet.
In some pik situation MT show speed which is more then 100Mbit/s, in same time showes some interrupts in graph.
Speed reading is a moment calculated reading. If you run a load over a long time you’ll see the average goes below 100Mb.
The speed meter is not exact, sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a little less. And 8% error is not exceptional. But your next reading might be 94Mb or so. While probably the amount of data being transported is still the same.
