So i guess the leaked date was right after all…

omg .. IPv6 NAT? Now I’m kind of hyped.
Always had IPv6 turned off in my main vlan because I couldn’t make failover possible. So now it should be possible or am I wrong?

Is this working on LHGGR now? Hoping LTE is now fixed :slight_smile:

5

I was right then to put it in my signature… :laughing:
(Be ready, 23 August is coming…)

6

Eheheheh… :mrgreen:

7

Quick first impression: Upgrading an mAP Lite from beta5 worked fine (config: dual-stack, basic Firewall, AP, Wireguard, EoIP)
EoIP/GRE keepalive seems to be fixed.

Just to clarify, does this mean that RB4011 & RB1100AHx4 will be added as exception here:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Bridge#Bridge-BridgeVLANFiltering
"Currently, only CRS3xx series devices are capable of using bridge VLAN filtering and hardware offloading at the same time, […]
Which means we’ll be able to use Bridge VLAN Filtering as in CRS3xx;
OR does it mean that the VLAN Table support is added for those switches and we could use the scenario provided here, to setup VLANS using the Switch Chip Menu:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Basic_VLAN_switching#Other_devices_with_built-in_switch_chip
Thank you.

You will be able to use bridge vlan-filtering with HW offload just like the CRS3xx series. No need to configure “/interface ethernet switch” settings.

There are some limitations, for example, no HW support for other EtherTypes 0x88a8 or 0x9100 (only 0x8100 is supported) and no tag stacking. The manuals will be updated shortly.

10

Be careful the update breaks OSPF, again…

And you still have to create interface-templates by hand because the GUI adds networks=“” automatically and breaks things.

Hi,

But this version is still not stable for production, right?

Fantastic work Mikrotik team.

Regards,

Is v7.1rc1 also known as “beta 7”?

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/v7+Routing+Protocol+Status

13

So when can we see the stable version? :smiley:

14

!) added support for IPv6 NAT (CLI only);
Great news. Finally we can use ipv6 nat now(useful for multi wan+load balance).

15

Built-in GPS is broken on LtAP in v7.1rc1. Downgrade to v6.47.10 fixes the issue. Will submit bug report.

16

all device are compatible or compatible device list available somewhere?

17

This is not a question, the 7 is perennial "beta", like 6 is perennial "rc"....

18

Any device on production: not compatible
Any device for play on free times: compatible

19

We believe this “release candidate” version is pretty much ready for “stable” release on all devices. If you experience any issue, please open a support ticket with as much details as possible and supout.rif file attached. Faster we can acknowledge all active issues, faster we can resolve them and release a “stable” version.

I upgraded my test router (CHR) and when I re-connect using Winbox 3.21 it says “router requires newer winbox, please upgrade”.
But I cannot upgrade winbox because all versions newer than 3.21 contain a fatal flaw that makes them unusable for me.
MikroTik: please fix the issue SUP-26372 (also discussed in winbox release topic).
Others: be warned that you cannot use older winbox version, even though this is not mentioned in the release notes!
