Hi folks,
I have a CHR lab (OSPF,BGP,LxVPN) with ROS6 and another one with ROS7 copied from ROS6. I tested ROS7 for a long time on the CHR lab but OSPF, BGP and MPLS does not working as expected.
Then I saw 7.1RC1 is out and RB4011s get HW offloading with vlan filtering, so I trapped, I feeled to must try it out. I expected a lot of bugs and instability like in CHR lab, but as I migrated my devices one-by-one to ROS7 I surprisingly experienced, there is no instability.
Some of devices are upgraded with config reset and reconfiguring, some are upgraded without config reset. I dropped BGP config from my RB4011 as I don't really need it and replaced with RIPv2. MPLS LDP is simply not working over L2TPv2/PPP and if I creating a vpls interface my RB4011 crashing into reboot. LDP neigbourship is UP but FW table is empty and mappings are inactive.
So simple functions works stable, for example: switching, bridgeing, IPv4 routing, firewalling, PPPoE and L2TP client, IPSec, RIPv2, WiFi and WDS with/without vlan tagging.
My SXT5ac upgraded with netinstall as a normal upgrade complained there is no enough free space. After upgraded it has only 2224kiB free space.
I hope ROS7 will be partitioned by functions like ROS6 to conserve flash space, or MTik find out a more space efficient solution to hold all feature on flash even if it will not used ever.
Cheers,
