SwOS version 1.6 released!

Mon Aug 15, 2011 2:33 pm

What's new in 1.6:

*) fixed problem - TCP could not work over slow or high latency links,
hosts list could not be displayed;
*) fixed problem - fixed SNMP use sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 & sysName.0
instead of sysLocation.1, etc;
*) fixed problem - SNMP reported incorrect ifSpeed;
*) made CPU reset switch chip on reboot as well (makes it forget about
all learned hosts);
*) fixed problem - when changing password old password was not
checked properly and if it was wrong garbled password was used instead;

Changelog text file doesn't contain changes for 1.6

Can't download file, just redirects to download root.

I have no problems with the firmware and the changelog, all is readable and finde :)

I can confirm, that the snmp issues are fixed and now cacti for example is working correct without manual workarounds. THANKS !

On Dude is the same SNMP troubles as in 1.5.

Reporting 0bps or "Interface.InBitRate/Interface.OutBit.Rate"

:(

Maybe slower SNMP check in Dude could help?

So if I understood correct problem with too many hosts in hosts tab is not solved, we have to reboot to see hosts.
IMO its not good but Ill test it.

I understood wrong, this: "hosts list could not be displayed" hopefully will fix it.

I upgraded all of my 36 switches without problem. I had one with 1.4 wich doesnt want upgrade to 1.5 but I was able upgrade to 1.6 so I think everythink is ok.
I have feelings that this fw is a little bit faster than previous, maybe new frames have something to do with this.

Sadly I confirm that.
Ofcourse I can reboot and then it will works but uptime will be cleared also.

So ... PLEASE FIX IT.

I have cca 400 hosts in table and it is working fine for me now (was not working in 1.5), so it seems to be fixed. Maybe you have more hosts and there could be a bigger limit?

Confirming this here too; it's my one and only major gripe with SwOS, as it renders the 250GS pretty much unfit for purpose in my mind (half the point of a managed switch is monitoring of traffic).

Really hoping for a fix for this in 1.7.

Wait 2-3 days.

Maybe you are right but system has uptime 6 days and still working now. Maybe there is something different? I'm not using VLAN, ACL nor SNMP.

I have noticed a peculiarity with MT Discovery Protocol and v1.6.
Perhaps the problem exists in earlier versions as well. I have not and won't investigate that.

The MT discovery packets sent by the RB250GS are tagged with vlan 1.
Which is strange, because I do not have vlan 1 in the vlan table.
Is it there by default?

Since I also did not have vlan 1 on the main router interface, I didn't see the RB250GS in the list of neighbors. If I add vlan 1 on the main router, I can see the RB250 in neighbors.

I have tried with the "Allow from VLAN" ticked and un-ticked and the result is the same.

This is not a huge problem, but I am using the neighbor information from other devices and wanted to incorporate the RB250's.

For now, I can simply add vlan 1 to the main router interface.
