All kinds of small fixes, plus this:

What’s new in 6.0rc2 (2012-Oct-24 11:27):

*) added generic fast path support on certain interfaces
(all ethernets on RB3xx, RB6xx, RB7xx, RB8xx, RB9xx, RB1000, RB11xx, RB2011);
*) added ipv4 fast path, it doubles ipv4 forwarding performance
on supported interfaces when no firewall, conntrack, queues.
*) added traffic generator fast path;
*) addedbridge fast path;
More info on fast path: > http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Fast_Path

We need all the reports about this version, please if you find any issues - let us know. We are almost ready with v6, and your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

RX Drops in RC's

Is there a newer version of Winbox that works with RC2? The current version seems to lock up “Crossover” where v5.21 worked fine just a minute ago. Heads up.. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

too bad my rb800 has ether1,2 damage…

About fastpath - can you answer this question?
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/fast-path/60446/1

5

When one says, “No firewall rules” that means any and all configurations that fall under that right?

So no fast path with Mangle and Marking, or if there is an QoS/Queueing?

I’m not meaning to give a hard time. I’m just meaning to get clarification :slight_smile:

Thank you Normis and Mikrotik team.

After Rebuilding “Crossover”, Winbox seems to run nominally. Good to go.. :slight_smile:

FastPath wont work with connection tracking.

So anything that needs conntrack (firewall, mangle, etc.) will “disable” FastPath if you have conntrack in the new Auto mode.

8

Cool cool…that makes sense. So basically if there’s anything that uses DPI then FastPath (or Fast-Switching as Cisco called it) is disabled. Is this global or per interface?

So say one interface has Mangle rules attached, and another one has nothing other than just normal forwarding then…is it enabled on the bare interface and disabled on the DPI interface?

9

As I’ve mentioned since the last 3 releases of v6.

Is there a fix yet, for upgrading from a Mikrotik that has simple queues? It makes absolutely no sense to upgrade a Mikrotik with 400 Simple Queues, and have it LOSE all the IP addresses for each queue. Not cool..

10

Is [Ticket#2012092466000445] fixed?

11

can make it work for the bridge interface which have wlan1 and ether1…
hope this can become the RB4xx work like RB800…

12

I have not heard about this bug. Did you open a ticket with support?

13

*) winbox & webfig - added simple new version downloading & upgrading panel;

Added in v6 rc2 as 5.21 ?

Not shown in changelog.

14

Yes, same added in v6 too.

15

Fast Path is disabled when you add any firewall rule.

16

Normis! I’ve mentioned this in every topic about v6 and even put screenshots, and yes even opened a support ticket with no response to this date. Look at all my recent posts, I think I’ve brought this up at least 4 or 5 times.

17

Please post the ticket number, so I can check who is working on this.

18

NV2 P2MP finally does not disconnect. I thought that it never will. It took two years of release discourage many people forever

Normis, you have written that v6 RC2 contains no GUI-errors on the User Manager. That is not true.
I show it

  1. So i add new user “bab01”. See pict 1

  2. The user “bab01” logged in by hotspot and used the session.
    Then i add with “batch” button six new users. Now see “users” table - some informations for user “bab01” are missing. See pict 2

  3. Then i logged in and logged out by user manager. What does user manager now show? Here see that. See pict 3

  4. Now the user “ab6j7” log in and we look the “users” table of user manager. See pict 4
