If I download the npk file from the website and place it in the router’s .download directory, will the upgrade work? Or is it a different file it’s downloading?
It’s the same file … just download the .npk and put it on root of files folder. Then perform reboot, ROS should pick it up and upgrade. Just make sure architecture is right.
Thanks, I put the .npk file in the .download directory of the router, and executed the /system/package/update and it disconnected, did it’s thing, and rebooted. It’s a small file and downloaded instantly over the same connection from the website. Not sure why it won’t download properly from the router.
From 7.1.3 to 7.1.4 on an RB750gr3. Seems to be fine. Both ipv4 and ipv6 routing tables look normal and intact. Mine is a pretty simple setup, though.
I did notice that the system/clock timezone settings were missing after the upgrade, though. Comparing an export from before and after the upgrade showed the setting missing. I had to add that back manually.
I always liked the “testing” → “stable” → “long-term” channel scheme in V6. Is there some reason there isn’t an intermediate public “testing” channel before stable in V7?
Otherthan I guess “testing” is currently v7.2rc4… but 7.1.4 does NOT seem to be a promotion of testing as it was in V6.
Mikrotik released swiftly a new version that also includes keeping the route table and I have updated my 4011 from 7.1.1 to 7.1.5 now. And it works as before…but with new features.
I guess … MT was somehow forced to push out “stable” v7 so that they (at least on paper) can sell v7-only hardware with some stable version of software on it. BTW, currently tehre isn’t a v7 long-term and IMO that’s a good thing.
I expect that in a few months, when v7 does stabilise a bit, we will see releases appear in familiar pattern … e.g. 7.4rc is released into “testing”, at the same time 7.3.7 is declared as “stable” and 7.2.12 is made new “long-term” version.
But right now I can imagine developers are in sort of storm trying to get v7 feature set on par with v6, stabilize performance of v7 and add new features every was demanding for the last 10 years. Plus doing some minor maintenance of v6 (in case some nasty bug or vulnerability is discovered). All that at the same time. Not a very pleasant position to be in …
I updated from 7.1.4 to 7.1.5. I was just looking at the routing, i.e. /ip/route/print and /ipv6/route/print and it looks the same. I think the “routing table” is something separate, beyond the scope of my knowledge. Hopefully everything is still fine.
Finally i made it to make MPLS L3 works upgrading working MPLS PE with 6.49.5 to 7.1.5
actually it’s not perfectly smooth upgrade, i found out that some of MPLS configuration were missing after upgrading to 7.1.5
MPLS/MPLS Interface were missing
MPLS/Instance LSR-ID were missing
MPLS/Instance AFI were uncheck
Just manual fix those configuration and check AFI with “ip” then it’s works, i can ping vrf now into other-side PE.
I also find out that OSPF and BGP were perfectly converted/ exported into new v.7.1.5 (no need to make adjustment with OSPF and BGP)
The bug in 7.1.4 (which is also present in 7.2rc4…) affects those that have multiple route tables, e.g. in case of loadbalancing/failover with multiple ISPs, or with an overlay network.
