v6.29 released

To upgrade, click “Check for updates” in your RouterOS configuration interface, or head to our download page: http://www.mikrotik.com/download

What’s new in 6.29 (2015-May-27 11:19):

*) ssh server - use custom generated DH primes when possible;
*) ipsec - allow to specify custom IP address for my_id parameter;
*) ovpn server - use subnet topology in ip mode if netmask is provided (makes android & ios
clients work);
*) console - allow ‘-’ characters in unknown command argument names;
*) snmp - fix rare bug when some OIDs where skipped;
*) ssh - added aes-ctr cipher support;
*) mesh - fixed kernel crash;
*) ipv4 fasttrack fastpath - accelerates connection tracking and nat for marked
connections (more than 5x performance improvement compared to regular slow
path conntrack/nat) - currently limited to TCP/UDP only;
*) added ~fasttrack-connection~ firewall action in filter/mangle tables for marking
connections as fasttrack;
*) added fastpath support for bridge interfaces - packets received and transmitted
on bridge interface can go fastpath (previously only bridge forwarded packets
could go fastpath);
*) packets now can go half-fastpath - if input interface supports fastpath and
packet gets forwarded in fastpath but output interface does not support fastpath
or has interface queue other than only-hw-queue packet gets converted
to slow path only at the dst interface transmit time;
*) trafflow: add natted addrs/ports to ipv4 flow info;
*) tilegx: enable autoneg for sfp ports in netinstall;
*) health - fix voltage on some RB4xx;
*) romon - fix 100% CPU usage;
*) romon - moved under tools menu in console;
*) email - store hostname for consistency;
*) vrrp - do not reset interface when no interesting config changes;
*) fixed async. ppp server;
*) sstp - fixed router lockup.
*) queue tree: some queues would stop working after some configuration changes;
*) fixed CRS226 10G ports could lose link (introduced in 6.28);
*) fixed FREAK vulnerability in SSL & TLS;
*) firewall - fixed sector writes rising starting since 6.28;
*) improved support for new hEX lite;

Hello,

is the sector writes problem fixed?

Changelog for 6.29rcXX had following note:
*) firewall - fixed sector writes rising starting since 6.28;

I cant find this note in the changelog for 6.29.

Normis:

Could you be so kind and describe more elaborately what was the common problem for each fix.
It could save a lot of time if I know that, for eg…(it is example)

"fixed async. ppp server

  • ppp connections dropped after 10 minutes
    bad addresses assigned to connection
    etc., etc.."

Torrent link - first seed is ready :wink:

after update to 6.29 having a problem with “health” monitor on RB2011UiAS-2HnD
voltages and temp are not showing any more

/system health print - return empty result

upd: SNMP also return nothing about “health”
upd2: Secror Writes problem seems to be fixed

*) console - allow ‘-’ characters in unknown command argument names;

Normis:
What does this exactly mean? Please provide an example.

Anyone else not getting the DNS resolver to serve cached lookups?

I’m getting 39ms to dig Google each time but a friend running 6.27 is getting 1ms

[admin@rack1_b5] > :global myFunc do={:put $“aa-bb”}
[admin@rack1_b5] > $myFunc aa-bb=“ff”;
ff

I experienced this on a RB450 upgrade to 6.27 . Another reboot resolved it.

this helps…thanks… nice rule - if something did not work try to reboot…

Referring to Ticket # 2015042066000634, the problem persists.

My Radius is configured to allow one connection per customer.
I do not believe that is the Radius, because what happens is as follows:
My Radius only authorizes the connection.
The IPS POOL is in Mikrotik

  1. Customer initiates PPPoE dial;
  2. Mikrotik queries Radius;
  3. Radius authorizes the client;
  4. Mikrotik authenticates the client.

THE PROBLEM:

  1. Randomly some authenticate clients, but do not sail;
  2. Active PPP connections in the address field, appears in the IP that the client received;
  3. PPP interface, the same client, the Remote Address field is empty;
  4. PPP interface, this same customer is om the only status with D (dinamic) but nowhere with R (Running);
  5. In IP Address, the same client is in red, with the status D (Dynamic) and I (Invalid);
  6. Interfaces, the same customer is with Status D (Dynamic) and without the R (Running) and also not as a slave of the physical interface;
  7. IP Route, is not created proper route (/ 32) to the client.
    RESULT: The PPPoE session is established, the client receives IP, but the RouterOS for some reason creates totally bugged connection. CUSTOMER IS NO CONNECTION.
    After some time, the RouterOS “adjusts” the connection, creates the route and the customer browsing normally.

I have 190 sector writes since reboot (37 min ago). Isn’t that too much?

If fasttrack is enabled, TCP connections over GRE over IPsec are not possible (ICMP works). If I limit fasttrack rule to in-interface=all-ethernet and out-interface=all-ethernet, connection is possible again. Bug?

In windows xp winbox close if push IP-Address !

NTP client not work ! Only “started” , but not synchronized and DST not active …
Before upgrade with old version 5.26 all work !

do you have ntp package installed or only sntp client ?
what ntp servers are you using ?

I have sntp client on RB751u and it’s working.

export your config to .rsc file, save it.
netisntall board to 6.29, import config.

Changelog for routerboot 3.24? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/RouterBOOT_changelog

Nothing makes my day like a new RouterOS update :slight_smile:

We have tested upgrade of the following platforms in our OPSF/MPLS/BGP design lab without issue so far

CCR1036-8G-2S+
CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+
CRS-125-24G-1S
RB2011UiAS
RB951Ui-2HnD
RB751U-2HnD
RBmAP2n

750UP 6.29 with MPLS/VPLS once traffic starts to pass the unit reboots, with VPLS disabled the unit no longer reboots. Has anyone seen this or have a solution?

It appears that the bug might be fixed even though it was removed from the changlog.

I can confirm that when opening the Firewall window the sector write count does not increase.

I increases when changing settings, etc - which is normal of course.

I am not sure about x86 though. I can see over 55000 writes with 90minutes uptime.

For me it’s not much of a problem since it’s on a SATA disk, but others with x86 installations on CF cards might have a problem.

On MIPSBE, so far the sector writes are minimal (~100 after 90minutes uptime).

Edit: To answer your question, I believe 190sector writes are quite normal.
