*) radius - require “policy” policy for “login” service configuration;

Nooo… :sad_but_relieved_face::sad_but_relieved_face::sad_but_relieved_face:
Unfortunately you have noticed it…
I have always used it to scale permissions and become an administrator even in RouterBOARD which I did not have administrative access…

Now than the pandora box is open, please add this critical security fix also on 7.5, 6.48.6 and 6.49.6…

My CCR2116 is unable to update to this version, there’s nothing in the logs, 42MB free diskspace. It downloads the 7.6beta4 image, reboots and comes up again with version 7.5.
2-Partition setup, user-manager and zerotier extra packages are installed.

7.6beta4: RB5009 no longer shows and provides access to mounted USB T5 Samsung SSD drive partition. It works in 7.5 and earlier.

This is very exciting…

*) l3hw - added support for IPv6 route offloading (disabled by default);

Can anyone provide more information on this? What switch chips are supported? Does this mean that IPv6 fast-track is being worked on?


Robert

L3HW IPv6 is now supported by all CRS3xx, CRS5xx, and CCR2x16 devices.
IPv6 FastTrack HW Offloading is not implemented because the software IPv6 FastTrack needs to be implemented first. Unfortunately, I don’t have information about the latter.

wow you should have reported that when you saw it.

simply wow...

You didn’t report a bug for a vulnerability like this just for your own ease of use? Wow.

It’s working fine.

Upgraded hap ac3 wifiwave2 coming from 7.5

One remark: somehow I managed to tick WPA3-EAP as security mode before and wifi did not come up after upgrade.
It showed a red message “wpa3-eap can only be combined with wpa2-eap”.
When I unticked wpa3-eap, all impacted wifi interfaces came up.

Is that intentional ? It wasn’t like that before (and nothing was mentioned in changelog about this, unless I missed something ?).

Upgraded RB5009 and hAP ac3 from 7.5rc2 to 7.6beta4. No issues so far.

Containers, USB flash drive as external disk, WifiWave2… Everything working as expected.

YES! container mounts look like they have the right permissions now, thank you! <3

Port flapping issue on RB5009 which was triggered by showing the “bridge port” field (in dchp leases window, arp window, interface details window, etc) appears to be resolved in this build. A huge relief and best news of the day for me.

I also haven’t experienced a bricked router or config corruption since several builds ago (7.2.x) and have been staying up to date on testing channel on my whole fleet (10+ routers, various models) for each testing release so the upgrade process seems to be reliable at the moment, touch wood !

Thanks MikroTik

Export hang at those menus seems to be fixed too, (probably also the high cpu usage spikes but I can’t confirm right now).
Weird that there’s nothing about it in the changelog. Thank you!

I never thought I’d see the day; but here we are! Status on a CRS317 after enabling l3hw-ipv6 and running iperf3 between two IPv6 subnets:

[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  10.7 GBytes  9.20 Gbits/sec                  receiver

Great work, MikroTik!

Do you have any active ZeroTier networks configured, i.e. any enabled entries under

/zerotier/interface

?

@aliclubb yes there’s an active network. I disabled it, but no luck. I even removed the whole zerotier package and tried to update without success. routeros is the only package installed now on that device and it won’t let me update, I also tried to upload the firmware file manually. Still nothing in the logs except this ntp change time … message.

I was able to update from 7.5RC to 7.6Beta4 without issue on my CCR2116. No ZeroTier package or config.
