v6.42rc [release candidate] is released!

Everything works for me without issues. Can you repeat this reboot loop after Netinstall with RouterOS and RouterBOOT

.rc56

versions?

No. Now, with rc56, router reboot correctly.

Hello. I’m trying to use the new function of the fetch tool but unfortunately I can not send the content to a variable. Has anyone already used the USER mode?

Hi strods,

We run Proxmox (Debian 9 with KVM) and upgraded a CHR to 6.42rc 56 to test multi-queue VirtIO network support.

We set queues equal to the assigned CPU cores and upgraded the router. After booting RouterOS there are no entries in ‘/int ethernet’…

Hello.

Maybe this bug or feature.

I use 6.42rc56 CRS317-1G-16S+ for build bonding (LAG+LACP+HW Offload) with HP G8 server with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

I use Mikrotik as DHCP Server, Linux work as client. DHCP, ICMP work good. But from Linux over bonding interface in schem one i can't connect to Mikrotik SSH. Firewall empty. I use Mikrotik as DNS server, but from Linux name not resolve. In tcpdumps all look good, but not work.

Network card type same at all servers.

09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 01)
09:00.1 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 01)

Linux servers bonding configurations.

Bond

auto ens2f0
allow-hotplug ens2f0
iface ens2f0 inet manual
bond-master bond0

auto ens2f1
allow-hotplug ens2f1
iface ens2f1 inet manual
pre-up sleep 5
bond-master bond0

auto bond0

bond-mode 802.3ad
bond-miimon 100
bond-lacp-rate 1
bond-slaves ens2f0 ens2f1

Mikrotik configuration.

/interface bridge
add fast-forward=no name=bridge_servers priority=0x1000

/interface bonding
add lacp-rate=1sec min-links=1 mode=802.3ad name=bond_S1 slaves=sfp-sfpplus1,sfp-sfpplus2

/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge_servers interface=bond_S1
add bridge=bridge_servers interface=bond_H1
add bridge=bridge_servers interface=bond_H2

When i change configuration to active-backup mode at one server. I can ssh/resolve to Mikrotik from any servers.

All other configuration at Mikrotik same. I attache support.rif in Ticket#2018041122005401

Can you help resolve this problem?

When i disable hw-offload on 802.3ad bond interface all start work. When hw-offload enabled i can't connect to servers from Mikrotik.
I found workaround. Add empty EoIP interface to servers bridge and now all look working. Later i understand that this not solve problem.

14.04.2018

After some tests i found that communication randomly stop from H1 to S1, for example after one hour more or less. Up/Down bridge interface fix problem but only for some time. I check fault tolerance by logicaly shut one interface of bond, all traffic go one interface. After unshut interface traffic no comeback. This results not for production use. I move to active-backup with ARP monitoring. This without load balance but work. I not try downgrade software. If somebody have information about problem like this write it here.

Mikrotik confirm this problem in ticket #018041122005401. I change schem and add VLAN because need seporate INET from MGMT. Still want use hw-offload for VLAN. But now i have another problem. I can't ping CSS326-24G-2S+ from CRS317-1G-16S+. If i disable hw-offload on port SFP16 all start work. If i shut/unshut bridge all start work.

Maybe this other problem.

Sorry English no my native language.

Thank you.

so there is two tests, one test and after few seconds - second test.

no changes, no move just chrome open new tab and repteat test
DL 2.75Mbps / UL 102.40Mbps
vs
DL 321Mps / UL 416.29Mbps
vs
and third test : DL 370.81Mbps / UL 463.15Mbps
fourth test with distance about half meter : DL 343.02Mbps / UL 517.73Mbps

so wehere is comment from MT ? :smiley:

Upgrading RouterOS x86 to 6.42rc56 on a reset configuration results in multi-queue VirtIO appearing to initialise.

Some questions:

  • I assume we should disable RPS?
  • Shouldn’t the IRQ counters be incrementing on other queues? Perhaps someone running multi-queue vmxnet3 could compare?

Herewith a screenshot of multi-queue VirtIO. IRQ appear to exclusively increment on the first queue:

Herewith our settings:

/queue type
add kind=mq-pfifo mq-pfifo-limit=10000 name=mq-pfifo-10k
/queue interface
set ether1 queue=mq-pfifo-10k
/ip dhcp-client
add dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no interface=ether1
/system package update
set channel=release-candidate
/system resource irq rps
set ether1 disabled=yes

Perhaps multi-queue hasn’t been enabled by the guest?

Documentation (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Multiqueue) details guests having to run:
ethtool -L eth0 combined $queue_num

Can anybody give me some advice how to get RSSI values from cli of WAP 60G ?

interface w60g monitor wlan60-1

Just replace wlan60-1 with your interface name they will give it something like this

connected: yes
       frequency: 58320
  remote-address: 04:xxxxxx
             mcs: 4
          signal: 40
            rssi: -68
       tx-sector: 28
  tx-sector-info: left 3.8 degrees, down 3.8 degrees
       rx-sector: 96

After upgrading to 6.42RC56 from 6.40 (to test NV2 improvements) wds interfaces in winbox randomly appearing/disappearing in period about 1 second, but in registration table looks like there is no disconnects and disappeared interfaces still working.. RB433AH with one R52Hn card, nv2, 20/40Ce, 5GHz band.

Whats going on with 6.42 ? Problems over problems. Bricked hardware, update problems without ends. Maybe you begin from scratch :frowning:

There is NO 6.42
Only 6.42rc [release candidate]
RC are BETA versions that can be used to TEST certain new (or fixed) features.
BETA software should not be run on critical devices, just on test networks.

I confirm this. Went back to 6.41.4 and PtMP is working again.

Please MikroTik give us more information about the weak performance of hap ac² and cap ac.

What further things can we do to support you fixing the issue?
How have you been able to get the figures published on the product’s page?
What’s the ETA to fix this huge problem?

We repeated the exercise again and had success upgrading to 6.42rc56, only the first queue receives IRQ events though. Probably not calling:
ethtool -L ether1 combined 8
