v7.9beta [testing] is released!

Announcements
21

Well, I admit that I must have really expressed myself extremely clumsily if it was perceived that it should have been done ALREADY! :face_blowing_a_kiss: But as I said, “someone” should consider a bump to v1.10.6 as soon as possible to avoid angry Android and ipv6 users.

Otherwise it looks like a grand update!

Btw, what is that ZeroTrust Cloudlfare Tunnel thingy you are talking about all the time! :face_savoring_food:

EDIT:
It would be very practical if one could have access directly to local.conf using the cli. In this way, it would be possible to configure all possible settings such as TrustedPath, Multipath, BondingProfiles, etc without having to add all bells and whistles to Winbox. I’ll create a feature request to get a feeling what people think about it.

…
Hi Larsa, ZeroTrust CLoudflare tunnel, is a way to permit all MT home users and possibly SOHO users to host servers of any ilk ********, in a safe secure manner. Imagine a way to host your server WITHOUT EXPOSING YOUR PUBLIC IP. Imagine a forum where one cannot find a single thread that with obscene GARBAGE firewall rule setups so twisted from 50 youtube videos for port blocking adding to firewall lists etc etc… I mean zerotrust cloudflare tunnel = MTs philosophy of flexibility, practicality, efficiency AND SECURITY. An options package would allow this from all MT devices.

******** For some reason MT is unable to or doesn’t want to recognize the number of users running servers and the number of new users joining the MT world that want to run servers. Its a no-brainer imho!

*) ovpn - added support for OVPN server configuration export and client configuration import from .ovpn file;

Would this finally solve problem with client authentication via static key?

Super excited about this!! Thanks to MikroTik and ZeroTier for getting that updated :slight_smile:

Just upgraded an RB4011 and RB5009 i’m using as ZT gateway routers in our corp network.

25

upgraded my hap ax3 from 7.8 to this release, an iPhone X and an iPhone 14 Pro can no longer connect to my WPA3-PSK network. Both asking for a password, if entered again, “incorrect password”. A MacBook Air was able to connect. Still investigating what’s wrong.

EDIT: Not a single 5Ghz enabled device was able to connect including the perviously working Macbook. I know sae-pwe=hunting-and-pecking is needed to allow clients to connect. I tried all 3 options without success.
A diff of the working 7.8 and 7.9b4 config showed no changes in /int/wifiwave2/.
The error I saw in the log was: 5C:3E:1B:XX:XX:XX@W5.LAN disconnected, key handshake timeout, signal strength -77
Disabling/Enabling the interfaces didn’t help, only a reboot of the router restored connectivity. It seems the driver or something else just crashed :S

26

Isn’t it the case that 90% of the point of RouterOS and its management tools is to wrap all the underlying nonsense in a consistent management interface? If you want to twiddle with text files, install OpenWRT.
The corollary of that is that every parameter has to be available so that you don’t need to get up to your nuts in text files.

27

@osc86, sae-pwe=hash-to-element | hunting-and-pecking always had problems with this.

No obvious troubles on RB5009, hAPax3 and RB1100 - ZT works well enough that came back after the update at least :).

Agreed. But yeah bonding mode was one I was hoping for here…

Fixed, thanks MikroTik!

31

This is the beta last 10 years with most changes in on go. 113 :slight_smile:
Hope MT will release 7.8.1 to come closer to a long time release.

32

This changelogs just too good man

33

why are messages being deleted? When will BFD be added?

34

why u guys forcing for BFD?
We had this feature enabled between mt and cisco,lot of issues
Also i’m trying to do not use BFD on v6 as much as possible, i found works better.

35

@nichky
Amen…
Better work to have again the separate web interface for the user-manager or at least leave the users use previous “v6” user-manager.


For 2 reason: that messages are offtopic, and as required by forum administrator is not strictly related to this particular RouterOS release.
And also if the administrator delete your message, is a good idea rewrite it again, or ask why is deleted???
You generate again offtopic messages and relative reply, like this.

36

Great fix list with some long-standing issues fixed, but still no working MPLS experimental bits. I have a large network that relies on this for QoS and we can’t move to v7 until this is working, similar to the situation with others who need BFD for v7.

37

wifiwave2 - improved regulatory compliance for hAP ax^2, hAP ax^3 and Chateau ax;

Would be interested in some details of what changed.

38

My ISP give me IPv6 address range by DHCPv6 on PPPoE connection. Yesterday I upgraded my capAC (what I use as router) from 7.8 to 7.9b4 and after that I cant get the IPv6 range, DHCP client in search state. I will try to downgrade. Does have anyone similar problem?

PS:

There was a misconfiguration in dst-NAT (I allowed from every address on in interface, now only from 2000::/3 and the fault not appeared instant), now I get the prefix from ISP.

39

on 7.9beta4 and intel XXV710 for 25GbE SFP we still get random reboot.
ticket [SUP-110894] and updated with latest supout.
Seems the driver introduced in 7.8 is not going well.

*) console - added option to create new files using “/file add” command (CLI only);

Thanks! That makes future deployments so much easier!
