v6.0rc7-9 config export missing data

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,
We’ve got multiple routerboards running 5.x in our network.
We also have a script that exports the configuration and then ftps the file to a central server which then saves it in subversion, as a method of version control.

We’ve started testing v6.0rc7 and rc9 on some boards and we’re seeing that in some instances under the wireless and the Ethernet sections the mac addresses are not always been exported.

The setup and script files are the same as we are using on the boards running 5.x and there we are not seeing any problems on 5.x.

Also there seems to be a big difference in file size:
RB751U-2HnD.5.23.rsc → 19 253 bytes
RB751U-2HnD.6.0rc9.admin.rsc → 2 461 bytes

A RB751U-2HnD was reset to the original settings, with 5.23, then the following command was used:
/export hide-sensitive file=

We then upgraded to 6.0rc9 and the same command was used.

In our test setup the mac addresses for Ethernet and wireless are coming through however on a RB750 and a RB435G that data is either missing or half exported.

Is there a new security or permission issue with regards to have the export command now works on 6.0?
Or is there a real issue with the export function in 6.0rc?

Many thx in adv.

This is because the default action for export in 6 is /export compact

To use the detailed export you need to use /export verbose

Hi cbrown,
I’ll do the test tonight.
If need be I’ll add a check on the main script so that it determines if it is version 5 or 6 and then runs the expanded export command.

Many thx so far.
