Hi,

how it looks with ROS v5 beta or alpha?

At Mumu you said within two weeks.

I am very curious.

Thanks

Best regards

Mirek

so, let's wait for two weeks

It was 2 weeks ago they said it now

I will copy a private email here as a treat to our loyal forum readers It's from last week. What to make of it? Whatever you like

[Subject: Release of RouterOS 5.0beta1 (day0)]

OK, latest build is good for testing

so when can your loyal distributors get our hands on it then ?

Nick.

this is internal testing. when it's stable, we will release for public testing. if you want, you can email support for private testing. this version is pre-beta, so you know what to expect

Interesting. I got this new pre-release version, but I can't see anything new: like the webbox or ssh forwarding ;)

did you install it ?

webfig is found under http://ipaddress/webfig/

(note second slash in end)

Why 5 already? Isn't it toooo early this time?

this doesn't mean v4 will cease to exist.

when we released v4 beta, v3 continued to be updated for a whole year.

did you install it :D ?

I'm pretty sure that I did ;)

After entering address in FireFox I see "WebFig Beta" and browser keeps refreshing over and over...

I use FF 3.6

don't forget that ending slash. works for me in same browser

don't forget that ending slash. works for me in same browser

did not forget ;)

Browser got 404 for: http://192.168.88.66/webfig/roteros.jg

OK, sorry, the latest build has a Webfig bug. It's fixed, but not built yet.

got it installed on a RB450G for testing.

Do you have any changelogs available...

Or any new feature info, anything specific you need testing ?

BTW doesn't look like plain GRE tunnels are there ?

Nick.

How can i get RoS v5 Beta for testing ?? )

read above thread

Hi normis,

any news with better SMP support in ROS v5.

Like 5.0beta.

??

Thank you

yes, better SMP support is there

there is demo

demo2.mt.lv

edit:
name: demo
pasword: blank

demo login ? I tried demo/demo and demo /blank.

I'd like to take a look see.

Username 'demo' and a blank password worked for me 1 minute ago.

Telnet works but webbox just bombs out with 'std failure: not allowed (9)'

webfig is disabled for the 'guest' user??

Will we be able to demo this part?

I get this error in Chrome and IE8

std failure: not allowed (9)

Using an incorrect username/password gives me.

invalid user name or password (6)

The web config is locked out for some reason but Telnet access works.

(already posted this but it didn't make it through for some reason).

yes, the webfig has an issue, we fixed it in the next build.

Does v5 support DHCPv6 and MLDv2?

these two features are not on the list... need your help, thanks!
BTW, how can I get the pre-beta version? I didn't find the way yet...

If they are not in the list, they are not there (yet).

Email support if you want pre-release. It is guaranteed to have issues, be warned.

Emailed to support , no answer yet.

Thanks

I did answer you several hours ago. I will send again. Check spam filter.

We use OTRS for our own ticketing system and my filters intercept your email before the Mikrotik filter

Thanks indeed.

Is there a new version with webfig fixed? :0

no, we are still gathering reports of other issues

Normis...

You look like you want to kill something !!

Not a good day ??

seems any service (pptp, dhcp, pppoe) with radius not working on Ros V5 alpha.
Already sent supout and comments to support.

Remote Radius or "local".. ?

User manager package is not in the file set..

Hi,normis

I got v5 beta today and try to update it.

And finally I found no change in "system package", they were still v4.6.

I don't know how to set the pppv6 server, would you please give me some suggestion?

thanks!

check "/system package print", if you still have v4.6, then check "/log print follow" and see what error you have.

no error happended...and the version number didn't changed
Here is my step to update v5:
1. download v5 x86 npk file from Mikrotik
2. upload the file to Routeos via FTP
3. reboot the Routeos

again, post here what you see when doing this:

check "/system package print", then check "/log print follow"

post output here after the reboot

ya,these message were captured after RouteOS reboot

connect monitor to this frvice and see what happens when you copy V5 to this PC and then reboot, after you press reboot in winbox you see the installation progress and errors.

After I send the reboot cmd, i can see the verify and install message, but no install process shown.
PC reboot very quickly and after reboot it still show v4.6...

Seems this verision can't support upgrade in x86....

Did anyone else test X86?

If this upgrade file can't work. Do you have ISO image for it?
A new installation should be easy...

Use netinstall 4.6 to install V5 beta

to Normis - i use x86 v5 on 4 routers, all works fine. Find some little bugs and sent report to support.

Yep!!

Install just fine..

Copy, Paste, Reboot.. 5.0 B1 Yippe Skippy....

Seeing a SSH log issue (Prob something I did.. You know "ID10T" eror...)
But My Atom based units upgraded just fine... (Blackbird test unit)

Is Lic on target device valid for 5.X ??

tried upgrading 4.6 to 5.0beta1 and it had no problems at all. can you try to fall back to 4.6 and using same packages upgrade to 5.0beta1?

When can support the P45chip set ?

RoS V5 already support P45 chipset

ROS v5 is ok too, the main cause is my version is a test version...
And I am testing the pppv6 function now.
For IPv6 on PPP, does Rosv5 support both SLAAC and DHCP mode?

The beta version looks to have been removed from its location (ending with) /temp/5/routeros-x86-5.0beta1.npk

Anyone know its new location (to save me emailing support).

Not having clarity on a release for DHCPV6 is a major pain.....

ya, it's not reachable now.
Maybe there would be a new beta....

last build had a problem, so you will have to wait until we make a new build

I know a few people that have tested ipv6.. only major problem was that none of the interfaces get link local addresses (they get some random junk instead) so you have to add them manually to make anything work.

Also the firewall isn't fully implemented, although I'm not 100% sure of the details I was talking to someone using nth routing on ipv4, which should work the same on ipv6, but not all the commands are implemented yet.

It is a first beta.. shouldn't expect everything to work :p

I would be happy with broken DHCPV6 support!

Hi,

beta 5.0 is deployed week and so far I have not seen any significant problem, stable on X58 Chipset, ospf me also works well, I just does not work bandwidth test.

I expected a better performance with the growth of SMP functions, but he still does not take place, the burden of the CPU is still the same.

The problems I have already reported on the MikroTik.

What was the problem in 5.0beta1 and time a corrected version ?

PS: Mikrotik has complied with the term ”release“ 5, I am very pleased

Mirek

v5 works fine, no critical bug for me, but have one question for Mikrotik - why so long used Fasteio (you have new kernel and new IGB drivers) for the ethernet ?? (tested on intel 82576 and P55 chipset), why you dont use MSI/MSI-X ?? its much faster

New features:
http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/PL10/intro.pdf

Code: Select all

What's new in 5.0beta1:

*) added support for IPv6 over PPP
   (enabled by default if ipv6 package is installed),
   link-local addresses are assigned, and server can issue IPv6 global prefixes
   to clients per ppp secret or RADIUS reply (Framed-IPv6-Prefix);
*) added proper support for MPLS over PPP (by default it is now disabled);
*) added support for SSTP protocol (PPP over STL);
*) ssh is now completely rewritten - supports connection forwarding;
*) WinBox - any file dropped on WinBox will be uploaded to router;
*) added support for multiple Intel Ethernet cards;
*) updated drivers and kernel (to linux-2.6.32.5);

Hi,normis
Would you help to check if this release note is only for V5beta1 or V5 final release?
Do you have plan on DHCPv6 recently?

this note is only for v5beta1. next versions of beta could have more features introduced, so final v5 release features are not known yet (not announced)

I have a dream

Upgrading the kernel to 2.6.35 To solve the problem SMP

Upgrading intel ethernet driver (ioat)

Maxentries up to 2000K

We already have the latest Intel drivers in v5 beta, regardless of what you see in the kernel version. Same for SMP fixes.

I would like to test 5.0 beat1 (x86) ，How to get it？

we have an issue currently, we are waiting for fix. when it's ready, you can get it. email support and ask about it.

I would like to test ROS5 PC/rb411 . Email for support send

What kind of information would you like to distribute via DHCPv6? As you know, there is no more need for automatic IP address assignment in IPv6, so DHCP can be used to distribute for example DNS server address. What reason do you have for DHCPv6 support? Give us more details of what you need.

To me it's not needed, but everyone would like to assign ipv6 address.

To me it's not needed, but everyone would like to assign ipv6 address.

so you don't understand, IPv6 already includes DHCP like functionality. Please research what is DHCPv6 before requesting it.

I would like to use the pppoe ipv6 address to the assignment by the RADIUS server. ipv6-over-Ethernet communications in general will not be used.

DHCPv6 is useful to push v6 DNS server addresses to Windows servers that don't support RDNSS. I'm not sure the addressing part is so useful.. but companies may want to keep their old v4 practices and translate them to v6.

But IPv6 Router Advertisement mechanism is broken in current stable ROS 4.6 (when want to run RA at bridge interface). More about this issue can be found here in this thread http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=38166. What's the status of IPv6 RA in ROS v5 beta? Thanks.

It's fixed already in latest builds.

Radius server address can be given only as IPv4. is intentional?

It is fixed in latest build of ROS 4 or ROS 5beta ?

Hi, normis
Is there a schedule for new betav5?

so you don't understand, IPv6 already includes DHCP like functionality. Please research what is DHCPv6 before requesting it.

Over here in Australia DHCPV6 is being used to hand out IPV6 subnets to CPE equipment which is then in turn handed out to local devices on the LAN. More info here -> http://ipv6.internode.on.net/configurat ... faq-guide/

My desire is to be able to deploy Mikrotik CPE to client sites on the end of an IPV6 ADSL link.

A very early revision of Webfig on the iPhone:
The design and layout will probably change, but well - it works.

Looks like 5.0beta1 finally makes some progress on the IPv6 side, which is badly needed.

Normis, are you guys going to bring the feature-set up to comply with draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v ... -router-04) ? This is basically going to be the RFC for interaction between providers and CPE's.

Also, there is already a patch available adding support for TUN-type tunnels to OpenVPN, which also might be good to get implemented: http://www.greenie.net/ipv6/openvpn.html. This has been extensively tested and works with servers and clients, that don't have the support, without breaking them.

/M

Is Lua scripting support going to be implemented in v5? It doesn't appear in v5beta1.

WOW! WebFig is impressive check this out: http://demo2.mt.lv/webfig/#Wireless.Access-List

Kamil :)

bwhaha, WebFig left submenus are not sorted again, as in WinBox earlier )))

he they actually are sorted. but it's not completely clear in what way

What would the licensing be for V5 on older devices. Thanks for making V4 available to older RBs like the trusted old hardy RB532A and our older RB133C's that came installed with V2 and upgraded all the way to V4. But will V5 also have a license upgrade or is it time to upgrade hardware as well if we want to keep up with you guys?
Any comments on resource appetite for V5 compared to V4 i.t.o. CPU/RAM usage?

Well done MT! You kick multiple asses! Now if only you could release a device that is so compact and easy to install as a Ubi..nan... (you know what), then you'll grab a lot more business. MT software is so far superior to those other toys, it's like comparing a skateboard with a sports car.

I found 3.x already very harsh on the RB133c's, but have you checked system -> license after upgrading your RB532's ? Once you're at ROS4 level, it actually says "Upgradable To: v5.x".

/M

cant wait for v5 stable webfig looks great!

Quick question:
Is the 4.x line going to stop here at 4.6 or are you going to release more 4.x versions before v5 goes stable?

Quick question:

If you've followed the 4.x beta and pre development (and the same with 3.x) you'll have seen, that Mikrotik usually releases beta's and pre-releases for many months, while stable releases still also get released. If would be foolish to think, that 4.x is bug free at this point.

Also, if you read back in this thread, Normis answered that question already.

I`m tested V5 on Pptp-server - 1200 active users, 50 Kpps, 300 Mbit traffics, pcq queue. Appreciable approximately productivity increase it was not possible to reach, on the contrary during some moments the router freeze, Winbox started to brake, few times fell off handle. Loading of the processor did not exceed 60 % on ICH57 chipset, the two-core i5-650, Intel Pci-express x4 Dual server network adapter, from here it is possible to draw output that with multicore too all remains on former. Returned to 3.30.

Any reason why you skip V4?

Any reason why you skip V4?

V4 seems to have issues with certain Intel cards, just got bid by that myself. Had huge amount of RX errors (130k+ errors in a 24 hour timeframe), with no errors on the switch port, where the interface is connected to. Backed down to 3.30, no issues then.

So I'd be careful using v4 with the hardware configuration Helios describes. V4 works well on the Routerboards, though.

CISCO Release IOS15.0M and It contain DHCP Authentication function(RFC3118). I Believe it will be great help for ISP's CPE developmts with Midium-to-Large scale networks.

RB450G 50-60% load. Reboot command sent and no answer to winbox. Only pings are going. No PPTP, no telnet, no SSH. Board can't reboot untill powered off

DHCPv6 or some other protocol is needed to supply IPv6 addresses to the LAN side of the customer router/access-point. IPv6 auto-addressing gets IPv6 address to the WAN side of the customer router.

It's not clear tough what protocol is going to be the standard for the LAN-side IPv6 addressing... if ROSv5 provides DHCPv6 relay services (which is easier than in v4 due to new DHCPv6 design), one could use some other DHCP server to supply such addresses, at least until a clear winner is established in this field.

When can support the msi-x irq mode

DHCPv6 or some other protocol is needed to supply IPv6 addresses to the LAN side of the customer router/access-point.

Through IPv6 advertise you can give users IPv6 addresses and dns servers using RouterOS, and it is not DHCP

no, it's not needed. you should read more about IPv6 and how it works. Mrz gave you a link for starters.

we assign IPv4 addresses via RADIUS. is there such possibility for IPv6?.. some way to control users... DHCP + Option 82 rules =)
