We had issues using /31 subnets on 6.4x. Not sure if the problem still exists in 7.x betas. We had the ISP switch to /30 for the WAN block.
/31 is not supported and there are no plans to support it.
Yes I just tested today on 6.48 and it doesn’t works
Thanks you for confirmation, I hope mikrotik will reconsider this position later.
As it is discussed in many topics in this forum you can use /32 instead of /31. Using /32 instead of /31 will not work only in specific setups.
But why not allow /31? It’s a common enough setup, and looks like the /32 doesn’t cover every case. Is it some specific reason not to support /31?
We would like to see /31 support as well. /32 works for quite a few things, but /31 support is a long established RfC and it is generally expected that most modern day routers will support it.
Is it just me or does it seem like a long time between 7.1 beta3 and the next beta.
Beta 3 came out dec. 2nd and we are almost in feb. now, so just short of 3 months.
let’s say we need 3 more beta’s and then a couple of release candidates, with this pace it could mount to more than 1.5 years from now ?
Anyone have some insight on the status of ros7 ?

I don’t think we can expect a somewhat stable fully functional v7 within 1.5 years
Also bear in mind: it is common knowledge that things are only stable in the ‘long term’ branch so it could be many years from now before it will be really stable.
This makes me very sad
Yes, sad indeed, especially since the new car 2004 are as unstable as they are on the 6 train..
It’s worth noting that MikroTik already sells hardware that either requires ROS7 (the Chateau) or is clearly designed for it (the CCR2004). I wouldn’t be surprised if the upcoming bigger CCR20xx routers also require ROS7 and the OS not being ready is thus blocking their release.
You are probably right in terms of it being years before ROS7 can replace the long term branch, but if no version of ROS7 ships this year at all, it’s increasingly going to be a business problem for MT.
Hi MRZ, while I always find your answers good and accurate, I will have to admit that I am running:
add address=aaa.bbb.ccc.253/31 interface=ether11 network=aaa.bbb.ccc.252
add address=aaa.bbb.ccc.255/31 interface=ether12 network=aaa.bbb.ccc.254
with 7.1b3 on a RB11AHx4, also had the same working on a CCR1009 (obviously not on ether11/12 though).
Ether 11 as a primary is running well with BGP and ether 12 as a backup with a simple static default gateway
I’m just hanging out for BFD on static routes to clear out a lot of (what will then be) unnecessary BGP config!
Cheers MRZ and MikroTik, and keep up the great work.
when this known problem will be dealt with?
In beta4 
Hello
Is it possible to create navigation groups for users using active directory and a radius hotspot? I need to segregate the browsing by user groups, I already created a hotspot in the mikrotik and this validates with users of a domain by active directory. Now, I need the users to have different access to certain pages. Is it possible to do this segregation?
Regards
my question was “when” not “where”
Okay, when beta4 is out.
Ask support, they may send you pre-beta4 version, where this issue is already fixed.
Do you guys know when the final version is out, shell we aim for the end on 2021?
We can aim at whatever we want, devs will surely move the target at their will (if they have a target at all).
beta4 possibly in 2021
