v6.38 [current] is released!

+1 What does it say? Do we have Loopback Interface Now? Cant seem to find either in winbox nor in cli.

Great release… And IPSec died for RW configuration

Yes I have. But I’m not using STP and bridges only for the WiFi interfaces. Or have I made a mistake with my thinking?

There is no Loopback interface added. If you need loopback interface simply create bridge and do not add any ports to it. (MTU of 1500 is for that empty bridge used as loopback).

Also, does this affects L2 connections with another vendors? What exactly changed so that VLAN on 6.38 is different from vlan 6.37 and older?

Bridges have STP enabled by default. Did you set “protocol: none” on your bridges? If not, they have STP.

On the CRS the bridges are disabled, on the RB3011 not of course. I have enabled RSTP on CRS for testing, but same problem.

This is well known to all of us this is why we are asking this question.
The release notes states that mtu values have changed for Loopback Interface. Hello WHAT LOOPBACK INTERFACE.

Probably the loopback interface (lo) internal to the Linux system that is beneath the RouterOS that you can see from the outside.
This by default has an MTU of 65536. Maybe this caused problems in some special case where traffic is sent via the loopback
for internal operations of the router and the first hop has a large MTU but later hops have smaller MTU.

I have the same problem on two different RouterBOARD 911 Lite5 after the upgrade. I didn’t do any overclocking on the devices. Apart from the message I didn’t noticed any problems - everything works fine.

jan/03/2017 11:08:24 system,info,critical memory overclocked



[admin@xxx] > /system routerboard print 
                ;;; Warning: memory overclocked
...

Do not worry about these overclocked messages - they are still work on progress. If you have not overclocked device manually, then there is no need to worry about that.
We are still improving this feature.

It happens me too - on SXT lite5 with 64MB memory…
wtf?

fantastic news !!
put teapot on, unpacked pack of (vanilla)cookies and immediately start celebrating THAT !!
thanks for continued efforts to Improve your products/ROS, MT !!
happy new year, anyone !

I just upgraded my RB751U-2HnD, and after reboot all my LED stop functioning (no light).

Just upgraded five RB751U with different configurations to 6.38 . All booted up without issues.

@hgkeh can you please post your configuration that you used on RB751U, that we can try to replicate your issue.

Just upgraded to 6.38 HAP AC Lite.

Monitoring with Dude utilizes memory to 100% killing winbox 3.7 connection during this period.

Any recommendations?

RE: Important note!!!
To avoid STP/RSTP compatibility issues with older RouterOS versions upgrade RouterOS on all routers in Layer2 networks with VLAN and STP/RSTP configurations.

I sure wish I would of known about this issue prior to upgrading a dozen Mikrotiks last month. Because of spanning-tree issues, I had the biggest/longest network outage since starting my ISP business over 10 years ago.

North Idaho Tom Jones

Last month? Full version with this feature was released only this year.
Did you upgrade your production network to Release Candidate version?? if yes, that outage is all on you, all on you.

Something seems wrong with PPPoE upload:
ROS 6.38:

ROS 6.36.4:

Ignore download speed since it shows some variations due to network load.
For upload 13Mbps was the best result, having some tests peaking at 2-3Mbps.
Both are done on my RB1100AHx2 with the same configuration, repeated several times on multiple dynamic IPs, with the same behavior.
Speedtest server is local to my ISP. Maximum speed is 1Gb/200Mb.
ROS 6.37.3 was working OK, too.
