v6 RC2 released

Chupaka · Tue Oct 30, 2012 4:24 pm

Will there be an x86_64 version?

unfortunately, no. not now

I am satisfied with the 32 bit version. Why would you need a different one ? Thanks.

for bigger available RAM?

also, won't 64 instructions help to manage ipv6 addresses a bit faster? %)

rado3105 · Tue Oct 30, 2012 4:32 pm

is nv2 supported in x86 in ros. v6?
What about dual-nstreme on v6, is supported and works? works only for A cards or also on N cards?
WHere can I download ros v 6 rc3?(I have enabled account on mikrotik.com to download prerelease version, but cant see it in download section.)

well, it's there. next to rc2

not in 'Downloads' but in 'try development version' of your Account

RC3 have winbox icons, again in mikrotik.some time ago as far i can remember ros had icons in winbox, but mikrotik removed it.purpose of this i cant remember

Chupaka · Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:30 am

icons were in 2.8 and were removed in 2.9, AFAIR

To also piggy back onto what Chupaka said. Having 64 bit on x86 ROS would be helpful if the box was being used as a route reflector. IPv4 + IPv6 + VPNv4 + VPNv6 = a LOT of RAM used. This would ACTUALLY make the most sense on x86 because those would be the best boxes to use as RRs due to the fact that a powerful processor and a lot of RAM can be fitted onto an x86 box.

So therefore, really, it makes LESS sense to have the Routerboards to have 64 bit ROS, and it would make MORE sense to add that to x86 purely because of the CPU power available.

I would even argue that a 2 socket, or 4 socket Intel or AMD server board would have more power than the CCR as the x86 chips probably do more work than the 36 core monster.

akant · Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:36 am

Perhaps this the reason for no 64bit x86. Need to sell more CCR!

NetworkPro · Wed Oct 31, 2012 8:09 am

reason is amount of work and amount of testing, driver related work who knows what else that goes on underneath there

lavv17 · Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:53 am

Probably most of work and testing would be related to 32->64 migration of routeros kernel modules, and it would be done anyway for CCR. Linux drivers have already been tested in 64 bit mode.

I've heard that x86_64 code is a bit faster. More processor registers are available, for example.

NetworkPro · Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:02 pm

If compared fedora 32bit pure routing (no iptables) vs fedora 64 bit which will pass more packets per second while retaining minimal processing delay?

Sages · Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:07 pm

I am updated my RB751G-2HnD from 5.21 to 6.0rc2. In USB port inserted LTE modem Samsung LU156 (YOTA, Russia). After upgrade CPU usage was 100% on 10 seconds, and then all ethernet ports failed to any response, winbox are closed. connect to router MAC-addresses not work, ping to router is also missing. If router starts without LTE modem router works fine.

it is whole new architecture for nothing, because we cannot drop x86 32bit, since a lot of users are using different intergated solutions based on x86 that have not heard anything about 64bit.

InoX · Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:14 pm

Bugs:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=66803 also for x86
Another bug is when you restore a backup from other RB. After every reboot, that backup, will be restored even if I deleted it. 3 times. Back to 5.21.

rado3105 · Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:32 pm

I have problem with bandwitch test in v6 rc3:
rb750(v6 rc3) -ethernet cable - rb711(v5.21)--wifi--nv2---rb433ah

When I do the bt test from rb750 to rb711, tcp speed one way is 70mbit/s(o.k).
http://i47.tinypic.com/18nnl0.jpg
When I do btest from rb750 to rb433ah, over nv2 traffice from some kbits to 100mbit/s....and then freezes...
http://i49.tinypic.com/2vs3yae.jpg

This is normal test over nv2 from rb711 to rb433ah:
http://i48.tinypic.com/2ekjaf6.jpg

So this is BUG.

make it both version. i386 and amd64. Will there be any performance benefits? support for new cpu instructions? Do you think it will be good?

Alessio Garavano · Thu Nov 01, 2012 1:31 am

What's new in 6.0rc3 (2012-Oct-30 13:06):

*) added "/ip settings" menu with following settings:
ip-forward, send-redirects, accept-source-route, accept-redirects,
secure-redirects, rp-filter, tcp-syncookies;

Can explain more details about these IP settings?

and why not expose what is new or fixed in every new release like the new rc3 october 31?

I have a 2.8.21 router sitting around.. somewhere.. here we go!

New icons are nicer though

sirkike · Fri Nov 02, 2012 12:26 pm

RC2 don´t have all network nic drivers. I upgrade 5.14 to 6 RC2. And one interface has not detected, i reset the configuration, and nothing. In System->Resources->PCI i see two interfaces, but in /interface have only one. So, i back to 5.21.

My box is a x86 and this

 0 03:02.0  Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.                                              RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev: 16)                                                    5
 1 02:00.0  Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.                                              RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev: 6)                    10

are the two network interfaces!

Fri Nov 02, 2012 1:32 pm

We have fixed the Realtek drivers in rc3, which will be released soon

I don't know if anybody saw this but since 6.0rc1 my internal firewall is misbehaving with masquerade.
It has several IP addresses, because I have some fixed NAT's, but it would always pick the first (main) address (ordered 0 on /ip address print). Since rc1 (now tested with rc2) it keeps selecting the lowest number (not the lowest index) until I disable and re-enable the other addresses on the interface.

oh-no

who is using masq with more than 1 IP ? cange to src-nat and paste the IP in there

It works fine on 5.x. It started with this problem on 6.0rc1/rc2....

NetworkPro · Mon Nov 05, 2012 12:35 pm

no, please do not rely on this "working" because it is not a feature at all. it just uses first added address of interface

use isntedad of masquerade actioon=src-nat and put in the IP that you want

how can I downgrade my RB1200 from RouterOS 6.0rc2 to RouterOS 5.21?

When I load all needed packages of ROS 5.21 to files and do:
sys packages downgrade
the only thing that happenes is a reboot.

After the reboot I still see version 6.0rc2 running!

The firmware is 2.38.

Thu Nov 08, 2012 3:45 pm

did you upgrade correct system type? works for us

if not, try Netinstall

sup5 · Thu Nov 08, 2012 4:17 pm

I cannot netinstall a remote system.

Thu Nov 08, 2012 4:20 pm

try to upgrade to rc3 first, then see if downgrade works. if you need access to pre-release versions, email support

v6 rc3 from october 6. after login to winbox, sq shows big numbers in SQ....after a few secs...is ok.
It slow reacts to changes according to interface speed(it was better in old SQ).

 1    ;;; server
      name="LN" target=10.13.58.0/24 dst=10.10.10.10/32 parent=none 
      packet-marks="" priority=8/8 queue=default-small/default-small 
      limit-at=0/0 max-limit=20M/20M burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 
      burst-time=0s/0s 

 2    name="Internet" target=10.13.58.0/24,10.13.59.0/28 parent=none 
      packet-marks="" priority=8/8 queue=default-small/default-small 
      limit-at=0/0 max-limit=6M/16M burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0

      max-limit=768k/2M burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s

In this rule when somebody is downloading from 10.10.10.10 - rule 1, it doesnt catch it(or one time yes, one time not...)

Also I upgraded one rb750, from 5,18 to v6 rc3. upgrade of ros ok. Then i upgraded bootloader from 2,39 to 3 and mikrotik doesnt start. Ale lights are turned on. I tryed to get inside using netinstall, but when I connect it to pc, in my pc it shows that nothing is connecte(I tryed two working pcs).
What to do now with rb?
