Why, according to Mozerds links, its important to have different peer cryptography or did I read that wrong.

I would have preferred the ability to use Firewall Address Lists in routing rules myself!!

Is the wrong queue handling for IPv6 already fixed? (IPv6 FW is not working with this...) This bug prevents for me the update on my RB5009....still on 7.0.5 (factory ROS)
I didn´t see anything for this bug in the release notes for any RC versions...

IPv6 with queues is a blocker for me as well... It is not fixed with 7.1.3 😢 - as there's no log entry I guess the same applies for 7.2rc4. 😢

Updated my hAP ac2. It has a small BGP test setup. There was a separate routing table:
/routing table
add disabled=no fib name=ampr
and a BGP template using it:
/routing bgp template
add as=4220406101 disabled=no hold-time=15s name=ampr nexthop-choice=\
    force-self router-id=44.137.41.109 routing-table=ampr
After the update, the routing table was gone, and the template listed "16384" in the routing table field.
The routing table itself had routes with table "unknown".
I had to add the routing table again, set it in the template, disable/enable the connection to get it OK again.
Yet another case of "some configuration section lost on reboot/upgrade??" or is it something else?
After another reboot, the newly applied config still remained.

BEST PRACTICES
The best practices for WireGuard keys are similar to those for SSH keys or client certificates (or any other host-based credentials) — no two hosts should share the same key (even for hosts that are considered simple “clients”). While this takes a little more work to set up, it’s much more maintainable in the long run.

KEY POINT: Additionally, if you operate more than one WireGuard interface on an individual host, it’s an okay practice to use the same key for all the interfaces on the host (it won’t result in a bad user experience) — but the best practice is to use a different key for each individual interface. The same security-practice issues described above also apply when sharing keys among interfaces on the same host (albeit to a lesser degree) — so not sharing keys makes for better/easier auditability, access control, and key rotation.

pppoe-client is not being detected as WAN or INTERNET after upgrading to rc4.
I hope you are not really using that feature... just set all "detect internet" interface lists to "none" and add the pppoe-client to list WAN manually.
The way the default firewall is set up, it does not really matter if the WAN list is correct as the rules use !LAN (not LAN) instead of WAN.

I use different chains to mark the connection and the packets for my queue trees.
Maybe this is a workaround for someone else too.
/ipv6 firewall mangle
add action=mark-connection chain=forward connection-mark=no-mark connection-state=new dst-port=80,443 in-interface=LAN new-connection-mark=http-con out-interface=WAN passthrough=yes protocol=tcp
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting connection-mark=http-con in-interface=LAN new-packet-mark=http-ul-pkt passthrough=no
add action=mark-packet chain=postrouting connection-mark=http-con new-packet-mark=http-dl-pkt out-interface=LAN passthrough=no

For those with issues on the RB5009 with different link speeds (2.5G, 10G, see viewtopic.php?t=182691&e=1&view=unread#unread) it seems they may have reproduced the issue locally and a fix is pending:
We reproduced a similar behavior locally. We are looking forward to improving such behavior with different link speeds in further RouterOS releases.

Cake has improved a lot, I can get more bandwidth all the while having the same bufferbloat timings.

Still waiting on being able to specify the direction of the flow :P

But a welcome surprise today...

Had some other versions in my archive.
Same problem with Winbox 3.31 and Ros 7.2rc4. Towards ROS 7.1.3 works just fine.
AND ... could be me but Webfig doesn't seem to work on 7.2rc4 either ? Works just fine towards a 7.1.3 device.

I took the JUMP and hit the concrete on the bottom with my head!!

WTF Mikrotik!! Erase the routing tables (/routing/table), leaving me with setting about 50 different routing-marks all who are all over the place!!!!!

I started the recovery but ran out off breath doing them all and will think hard over it before trying to go from 7.1.1 to 7.2RC again. I went back to 7.1.1 and then restored the config and all worked again like a well oiled machine. oooooooooooooooooooooooof!

Is there not a better way change routing tables without let us running in to walls??

I also lost the single custom routing table I had after upgrading from rc3 to rc4 🤡 At least in my case it was easy to fix, but it took me a while to understand what was wrong after the upgrade.

I upgraded a CCR2004-16G-2S+ from 7.2rc3 to 7.2rc4.
After I experienced an issue with one vlan not passing traffic anymore, I restarted the router. This was the second reboot after the upgrade, the first one happened right after the ros update to update routerboot.
The router didn't come back online, so I checked with woobm and my phone what is going on.
Well, the config looked like it was hit by a nuclear warhead.
- all bridges completely gone
- some interfaces got reset to their default values including both sfp-plus and one ethernet interface
- 4 wireguard interfaces, 1 6in4 tunnel interface, 1 eoip tunnel, 1/7 vlan completely gone
- lost some wireguard peers, some had invalid values in their configuration, like only AAAAAAs for the public key
- firewall filter rules (IPv4+6) mostly gone, 4 out of ~60 survived, but all INPUT rules were deleted, WAN interface was still working(!)
- capsman config 90% gone
- lost CA and LE certificates, capsman CA and caps certs survived

Mikrotik please stop working on anything else and fix this bs. Is this all stored in a MS access database on a filesystem that doesn't support cow?
It seems like there is no integrity checking taking place at all.

As for backups (before updating the router):
exports are mostly useless because they don't include certificates, um db, ssh keys, etc. which could easily be done by converting them into base64 and also storing them in the rsc/text file.
binary backups are (currently) also useless, because they store the entire database, and at the time of taking that backup nobody knows if it's already corrupted, and every time you have to restore that file, you'll end up having the same problem.

I took a supout and an export from this mess and I'll file a ticket tomorrow, but really, this needs to stop!

I went from 7.1.3 to 7.2rc4 on a CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS to test an L2TP/IPSEC fix and it too felt like a bomb went off.

Fortunately it was the home lab router; unfortunately it was talking to the production network...

While it appears most things were still working, OSPF adjacencies were all over the place, and eventually I caught it telling the rest of the network that it was the best path for everything...

Back-rev'd it to 7.1.3 and, after reinstalling ZeroTier and fixing some MTU issues on the bridge and VLAN interfaces, it settled down.

After upgrade from 7.2rc3 to 7.2rc4 all of routing tables are gone and related mangle rules are broken (RouterBOARD 750G r3)
Edit: Also internet detection is broken!

When I look through the changelogs of testing release tree I must admit, that RC releases were released at a way higher pace several years ago. 6.41,6.42,6.43 and so on. New RC releases at least once a week or so. Some even within days. And the changelog within a week was like huge.

This info should be in the "priority" field present in each packet. That would be transferred to the priority in a VLAN tag, or it can be used (albeit with a detour via packet marks) in a queue tree.

Did you already do a clean netinstall and import of the old exported config before?
I plan to do that with rc4 now that it is clear that a rc3->rc4 update does not work anyway in a router that uses multiple routing tables.
I hope it is caused by some database corruption that is fixed when a clean start is made... some other reports seem to suggest that.

Ok... don't know if you can do a full configuration reset e.g. because you have a nearby VM that can serve as RoMON relay (if that is possible in that service), but I already did that before and it did not fully remedy the problem anyway.

All older versions can be found on the MikroTik download page.
When you downgrade from v7 to v6 your configuration will revert to what it was when you last had v6, so all changes made since then will be lost.
Of course you can export your config before you downgrade and import it after the downgrade, but it may be that edits in the export are required.
And of course you have to reset to a blank config before you can import an entire config. But maybe you only have a specific section where you made changes, and you can clear and import only that.

Thanks but it seems that v 7.2rc3 cannot be downloaded... (or where exactly?) the archive contains only stable releases, not beta and rc?

Ok indeed it seems the development release tree has been removed from that.
As always, I recommend to partition the router (if possible, not on 16MB FLASH devices) so you can always go back after an upgrade.
It seems most users do not know about that.

It's still there, no ?
Copy the link for the latest version, paste in browser and change version to what you need (2 places).
E.g. for arm: https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/ ... c4-arm.npk
change 7.2rc4 to 7.2rc3
-> https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/ ... c3-arm.npk

This info should be in the "priority" field present in each packet. That would be transferred to the priority in a VLAN tag, or it can be used (albeit with a detour via packet marks) in a queue tree.
Is it available in a bridge filter rule only or throughout RouterOS (incl. IP filter)? I hope automatic WMM -> VLAN priority is preserved when vlan is configured on a wlan too.

Unfortunately cannot test all of this at this time myself.

Yes that should work (unless there are bugs, of course...). The priority field remains with the packet as long as it is forwarded through the device (and is not overridden by some mangle rule), and it does not matter if a VLAN is used. Only when the packet is forwarded outside of the device this comes into play.
Unfortunately there is no option to do the usual DSCP->WMM priority mapping in RouterOS, so one will have to use a firewall mangle rule for that (e.g. "set priority from DSCP high 3 bits"), which when you want to apply it to bridged traffic implies that "use IP firewall for bridge" has to be set. (because bridge filter cannot set priority from DSCP)

*) ups - fixed UPS support;
How exactly?
Router is hAP ac2. Upgrade to 7.2rc4 went without issues.
I have connected APC BackUPS ES 700G which worked fine with 6.x, but there is no System->UPS menu.
I can see that UPS is connected in System-Resources->USB
1 device="1-1" vendor="APC" name="Back-UPS ES 700G FW:871.O4 .I USB FW:O4 " serial-number="5xxxxxxxx " vendor-id="0x051d"
device-id="0x0002" speed="1.5" usb-version=" 1.10"

Where to go next?

Ask them to replace whatever they are using for the UPS package with NUT and proper drivers, that should make the UPS package a little more useable.

I decided to give the 7.2rc* a try mainly to see what this does:
*) pppoe - use default MTU of 1492; (from 7.2rc1 changelog).
But the description of the fix seems wrong.
Findings:
PPPoE client running on ether1, ether1 MTU set to 1500, PPPoE client tries 1492 MTU and sets it right, so far so good.
Setting ether1 MTU to 1508 makes the PPPoE client to try for MTU 1500, so it seems the extra 12 bytes were removed from the math (previously this was happening when ether1 MTU was set to 1520).
BUT, if the client fails to negotiate 1500 for some reason (ISP doesn't support it etc) the PPPoE client falls back to 1480 instead of 1492.
So it seems that only those 12 bytes are gone but 1480 lives on in some part of the code.

exports are mostly useless because they don't include certificates, um db, ssh keys, etc. which could easily be done by converting them into base64 and also storing them in the rsc/text file.
binary backups are (currently) also useless, because they store the entire database, and at the time of taking that backup nobody knows if it's already corrupted, and every time you have to restore that file, you'll end up having the same problem.
I think this is a great point. Figure out a way to handle exports with sensitive information in a secure way, but not as a binary backup. This frustrates me to no end when dealing with devices having issues, as I am unsure if I’m dealing with them related to some strange corruption in a backup file, since dealing with exports is so painful when operating under time constraints. Backups have many downsides when dealing with hardware swaps, differing versions, etc. I’m really surprised exports that support sensitive information haven’t been implemented with how easy it would be to generate and restore, and with the lessened support load regarding backups/restores.

you explained that a lot better than me, but it's exactly what I meant.
It was a pain to restore the router yesterday using an export file taken from the same device the night before.
There were some logical / ordering issues within the file, that wouldn't let me restore the config at once.
So I had to sit there with a text editor open and the router running /import .. verbose=yes, watching at which line the import failed, fixing it manually in a terminal and continue with /import .. from-line=x.

Exactly that! There often are issues in the sequence of the exports and details of the parameters, I wonder if they even test that.
And the lack of a "continue on minor errors" during an import is a pain as well. Just print what is wrong and continue, so at least one has a reasonable config and can work from there.
E.g. older devices had LCD and more LEDs than newer devices, what is the point of aborting an import when a /lcd section is encountered on a device without LCD? Just ignore it!
And when loading in the same device, the messup between things that are not exported and are (or can be) kept when reloading causes problems too.
E.g. when you choose to "keep user information" it also keeps group configuration, but that IS included in a /export so the import fails on "group already exists". Arghh!!

It requires some changes that in fact are just minor touches, but have never been taken up no matter how often it has been discussed.
The procedure of restoring an existing router or migrating a router config to a new device (or a standby device one keeps ready in case there is a problem) is just painful with MikroTik.
The user (or admin) experience could be improved a lot.

Thanks! I assumed it will be in the base package, 7.x being "monolithic" :)

Now I have installed UPS package, and... there is no "usbhid1" device, nor any other device offered in UPS->Add

So back to original question: how to configure APC BackUPS USB on 7.2rc4?

testing v7.2rc4 as PPPoE server we get an issue describe in ticket [SUP-75504]:
on some cases (fast reauthentication from another parallel pppoe server) the router is not able to assign remote ip address. It is reported 0.0.0.0 in Active connection tab, but there is a remote ip address into the dynamic ppp interface and it is equal to last ip the client had in the parallel pppoe server where it was previously authenticated.

We have this same behavior in 7.1.3

Strange issue on RB5009 where the following rule does not handle the related ARP traffic :
/interface ethernet switch rule add dst-address=192.168.192.200/32 new-vlan-id=100 ports=ether2 switch=switch1
No issue on (for example) CRS317.
SUP-74646 created accordingly.

Finally, RB5009 switch chip is simply not able to handle dst-address related ARP traffic, while CRS317 has more advanced switch features, and so properly handles it.
Thank you for the explanation MikroTik support !

*) switch - improved switch chip initialization process on bootup for CCR2004-16g-2s+ devices;

Please keep this forum topic strictly related to this particular RouterOS release.
Any word on what this initialization issue / change is? I've got some evidence that the CCR2004-16g-2s+ (running 7.1.1) is providing an open "dumb" switch for a short while during reboots. I haven't dug into this too far because I've got other things to deal with, but it'd be useful to know if it's a known issue with a fix in the pipeline.

Hi!
*) ppp - improved stability when handling large amount of connections simultaneously;
I am still having problems with PPP sessions - CCR that is running as PPP Server (OVPN) suddenly starts to duplicate sessions without eliminating old ones ... I found out that also configuration changes that are made when router is already making this problems are lost after reboot - like it does not permanently stores them...
I have 160+ OVPN Client connections (from MikroTik routers).

Upgraded pair of RB750G routers from 7.2rc3 to 7.2rc4. Upgrade vent well but now I have this error message.
feb/26/2022 09:27:40 system,error,critical,,,,,,,,,radius error while running customized default configuration script: std failure: timeout (13)

Radius is not configured on any of those two routers. They are used for test only. VRRP and OpenVPN is configured on both of them.
BTW OpenVPN and VRRP don't play well together or I should say that they don't perform what I have expected.
When I simulate port failure on switch behind routers, connection is transferred but OpenVPN process is stuck to the port on main router and it newer goes down.
I know that I can script and do transfer that way but that isn't elegant way.

And what is critical in one second change? And console crashed to.
feb/26/2022 09:25:13 system,info,critical Firmware upgraded successfully, please reboot for changes to take effect!

RB5009 upgraded from 7.1.3 without issues. Rebooted again to upgrade firmware without issues.

Simple Queues with IPv6 are still broken.

Running this as my home router to see if anything explodes.

I see no claim that this has been fixed... in general, one can say that when there is no mention in the changes, it is still broken.
(and it would only be worthwhile to report things that were fixed without mention in the changes)

@MT any estimation when Simple Queue + IPV6 will going to get fixed? our use case in production is simple enough no dynamic routing just plain NAT + PBR + Queue + IPV6 why is so hard for you guys to fix most of the IPV6 issue here?

In all fairness for most setup v7 is ok in our use case and we are ready to switch from v6 to v7, if only this main important function is working properly

What do queue fixes have to do with a 5ghz mipsbe wireless issue? And, no, I was running 7.2rc3 before this, so I can guarantee that these 5ghz mipsbe wireless issues were present in that version too.

Then it should show up as testing:

long term: error: file not found.

Now you are tricked to belive that 7.1 is a stable long term version. Yes I do now that it is not, but other may think so.

I took the JUMP and hit the concrete on the bottom with my head!!

WTF Mikrotik!! Erase the routing tables (/routing/table), leaving me with setting about 50 different routing-marks all who are all over the place!!!!!

I started the recovery but ran out off breath doing them all and will think hard over it before trying to go from 7.1.1 to 7.2RC again. I went back to 7.1.1 and then restored the config and all worked again like a well oiled machine. oooooooooooooooooooooooof!

Is there not a better way change routing tables without let us running in to walls??
I have also lost all routing tables, i was upgrading from first V7 ever released thru all versions until this one and its first time it did something like that..
While it was easy fix by importing back from configuration export i hope it doesnt happen again Mikrotik

It is a easy fix but takes a lot of time to do. I rather wait till Mikrotik fix this bug and hope new are created doing so.
Wait a minute... you're hoping to see new bugs ?

Re: v7.2rc4 is released!

Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:46 pm

I took the JUMP and hit the concrete on the bottom with my head!!

WTF Mikrotik!! Erase the routing tables (/routing/table), leaving me with setting about 50 different routing-marks all who are all over the place!!!!!

I started the recovery but ran out off breath doing them all and will think hard over it before trying to go from 7.1.1 to 7.2RC again. I went back to 7.1.1 and then restored the config and all worked again like a well oiled machine. oooooooooooooooooooooooof!

Is there not a better way change routing tables without let us running in to walls??
If this was a production router in a company (with 50 routing-marks its not a home router), I would say that it 90% your fault.
1. Tesing a RC version in a production environment.
2. Not test on an equal router with same OS and Config as the production router.
3. With backup, you would only use some minute to downgrade to 7.1.1 and restore your backup. (what you did)
4. With 2500+ post you should know better.

In my 30+ year working with network and computing, I have seen many upgrade gone wrong.

Or better yet: PARTITION the router! Copy running version to 2nd partition, upgrade, when it is a disaster: make 2nd partition active, reboot, back in business.

If the router goes up in smoke then I rather have backup and an export (off-site). If I can't get the same router again then I have still the export, to manually copy-and-paste.

@jotne why should I not have that many routing-marks in a home situation. Sorry, I anticipated something utterly stupid going wrong with this 'RC' as I wrote in the earlier posting in this tread...and it was.

I had my fare share of hairs turning white because of V7 so I was prepared to overcome any adverse and I could fallback petroleum lighting, and battery power if all went south after the update. ;-) It is time that Mikrotik is bringing out some kind of survival-kit special made for these kind of situations. Alone a Woobm won't cut it for non USB routers.

I expected it would go wrong, and it went wrong. It seems, that I have developed a special sense for this and that is why I am still on 7.1.1 and I will be patient as always and see if things happens in the lifespan I still got. No one knows their lifespan up front so it will be a surprise. ;-)

My other routers are still on 6.49.x and that is still sufficient for them and they run run and run on it.

Of course you always make a backup, but for the depicted scenario of upgrading a router that is running in production to the next version of RouterOS, using partitioning is the best method.
In the past I encountered the situation where a remote router was upgraded and the new version made it crash. In case of partitioning it automatically switches the partitions and it came back in the old version running from the second partition.
No need to go there and do a netinstall or downgrade.

Most home ruter does only have 16MB, so to use multiple partition you need a larger router with at least 32MB

Yes you need some space. That page is incorrect saying "Partitioning is supported on MIPS, TILE and PowerPC RouterBOARD type devices.", I have a RB4011 as home router (ARM) and it works there. This device has 512MB of space (a bit of a useless in-between value, too much for a single or dual partition of RouterOS, not enough to do a lot with Docker containers later...).
I see that some of the newly announced devices again have 128MB of flash space. So it seems MikroTik has finally seen the light and provides more than 16MB.

Here they work fine. Do you use the "Set" features? (now renamed to "List")

- Some problems with switching Wi-Fi networks (different SSIDs on the same router). Hardware (phone, notebook) reports "Network not found", but on the second try it connects OK. Not happened with 7.1.3.
+ Performance a lot better than before (CPU monitoring show normal load at 100 Mbps routing rather than almost full as was before).

rtlx - As many as necessary.
obscurus, noyp - We will look into this.
Ullinator, eworm, blurrybird, loloski - It is fixed, but not in this release. Fix will be included in the next one.
pe1chl, msatter, CTassisF, osc86, IntLDaniel, ivicask - Very sorry for missing routing configuration after an upgrade. We are working on a fix for this.
CTassisF, hecatae, sirbryan, ssbaksa, loloski, memelchenkov- Please send supout file from this router, generated while in the problematic state, to support@mikrotik.com.
MikroTikTack - Thank you for report. We will fix this as soon as possible.
wojo - That is correct. We are working on a fix.
pe1chl, holvoetn - WinBox dependencies are made when it is absolutely necessary. We are not doing this without any reason. Please report problems with WinBox 3.35 to support@mikrotik.com so we can fix them. Without knowing them, we can not fix them.
elgrandiegote - To what changes are you referring to? If you refer to reboots, then they should be fixed in the next release.
buset1974, obscurus, Chupaka - We will look into this.
IntLDaniel - First of all, there is a download archive (https://mikrotik.com/download/archive). Also, you can take a download link from any version and simply edit the version number and platform in the URL.
own3r1138 - The problem with tunnel establishment after a reboot should be fixed. We will look into the problem with DDNS.
sinisa - Additional fixes will be included in the next release.
Znevna - Please provide supout file to support@mikrotik.com when MTU is set to 1480, instead of 1492.
osc86, pe1chl - If you notice such problems, then please report them to us through the official support channel - support@mikrotik.com. Provide examples so we can fix them.
mducharme - There are no direct fixes regarding such an issue. Maybe your problem was resolved by some unrelated fix, which in the end was to blame for the problems that you were experiencing.
realmark - On some very, very, very rare cases on bootup switch chip sometimes was not properly initialized. We fixed this problem.
manojlovicl - We are trying to reproduce this problem but at the moment no luck. Can you provide supout file from your server to support@mikrotik.com? Make sure that you generate file while duplicate sessions are present on the router.
gittubaba - You do not need to wait for long. Soon it is coming back.
raymondr15 - Please provide examples of rules that are not working properly to support@mikrotik.com.
Znevna - Will be added in the upcoming releases.

Everyone - there was no and is no a simple and perfect way how to transition from v6 to v7. We do consider this the least harmful way. We will slowly transit versions between channels until we reach a state when v7 has two reliable version trees (long-term and stable) and one for testing purposes (testing). It will take a while and many RC and beta versions are yet to come. Also, nobody is obligated to upgrade. If you are just fine with an older version, then you can simply wait for a while or try out upgrades on test setups - this is completely up to you.

Do you really need a mail to support, incurring extra work for you, to know about problems? Would it not be easier to read the comments on the release topic, as you clearly are doing for the v7 rc releases? Especially when there is a new problem introduced in a winbox release, and everyone is writing about it in the release topic, I would expect that to be looked at at high priority as it is still a fresh change and likely easier to fix.
osc86, pe1chl - If you notice such problems, then please report them to us through the official support channel - support@mikrotik.com. Provide examples so we can fix them.
It is difficult to know what you mean by "such problems" when only the username is quoted and the user posted several messages in the topic. I regularly send issues to the Jira system, I suppose that is equivalent to mailing them to support.
Maybe in this case you are referring to "problems with importing a /export file". I have posted several times here what is wrong with the import mechanism. I hope that once v7 is fixed to have feature completeness and bug counts equal to v6, someone at MikroTik can work on the whole mechanism of importing (both the /import command and the "run script after full reset" feature) which have serious issues that you should be well aware of. As it is now, it is *really painful* to transfer a config to another device or to rebuild a device after a netinstall (and not wanting to restore a backup).

About the whole "v7" thing...: well, you should be aware of the fact that some devices can only run v7. Also, v7 is presented prominently on the software download page as a stable release, which makes some people do the upgrade at a time they probably should not do that yet.
I surely understand that there is a lot of work to do, but I think many of us would prefer if all efforts are first concentrated on making v7 a worthy replacement of v6, where the same features work at the same quality level, and only then work is done on extending v7 with new features.
We are running a network operated by hobbyists and volunteers, which is heavily relying on BGP functionality, and I am holding my breath as more and more operators "discover" v7 and upgrade to it, causing frequent issues in the network. Sure it would have been better when we had a well functioning contact platform where I could send messages to all users requesting them not to upgrade, but we don't have that. So I am hoping that BGP will "soon" be again on par with v6 quality.

I am referring to the disconnections made by the server in udp mode, where the session ends at the request of the server and not reconnect.

Agree, v7 is not a beta anymore, it's a stable version, specially for their flagship product such as CCR, but there is a lot of homework must be fixed fast, specially for advance dynamic routing such as BGP.

Question on "kid-control" in 7.2r4! (Not sure I saw this in earlier R7 releases...)

Kid-control adds a very first forward rule into firewall in the forward chain, which jumps straight to the end of rules, to the individual kid-control device rules. They are the last ones in firewall.
But this jump rules seems to apply to ALL TRAFFIC! It is a generic rule and I could not find inside the rule any info why this would apply to the kid-control device only!
How does this rule know which device / interface to use and which not?
/ip firewall filter
add action=jump chain=forward comment="jump to kid-control rules" jump-target=kid-control
It seems the rules between the jump and the jump targets are still hit (counters increase), but I don't understand why?
I don't like in firewall things to happen which are not fully understood, especially as the jump target rules are last, there is no drop-all rule
anymore afterwards for forward traffic.

Bug or feature?

You should understand that the name "jump" is inappropriate (when you have a programming background), it really should have been named "call".
I.e. it will execute the rules found in the chain kid-control, but when there is no rule that matches the traffic and has an action like "accept" or "drop", when the end of the rule set is reached it will "return" to the place where the "jump" was done and continue there.
So it is more like a subroutine call than a jump (goto).
Each "chain" in the firewall is separate, the firewall is called at the "forward" (and "input" and "output") chain but internally it can call other chains as subroutines.

The problem with the irregulary broken fiber connections with 10GB is still present in 7.2RC4.
I´ve updated yesterday all my MikroTik Devices from 6.48.6 over 6.49.4, 7.1.3 (via upgrade) to 7.2RC4. (RB5009, CRS326-24S+2Q+, CRS328-24P-4S+, RB4011, CRS32624G2S+, 5x CAP AC).
After the update the fiber connection between the CRS326-24S+2Q+ and the CRS328-24P-4S+ began to toggle. Every 5 min. the connection was broken. After deactivation of Graphing the disconnection happend ~ every 20-30 min.
This behaviour didn´t happen with ROS 6.48.6 or 6.49.4 and I only upgraded the ROS, nothing else.
Only the deactivation of "Auto Negotiation" and the fixing to 1GB stopped the diconnections to ~1x per day.
The cable between both devices is ~35m (2x)
The problem exists also with 7.0.5, the days where I´ve tried this ROS version I´ve also changed the cables without success. So the problem exists inside ROS 7.X

You’re not the only one. Exact same issue here. My ticket is: SUP-68278 which was last updated by Mikrotik Dec. 23. I’ve posted in these threads about it before and been told to create a new support ticket… The same resolution (auto-negotiation off/1G fixed) “works” for me, but this is obviously not a fix.

Today I did some tests with L2TPv3 Ethernet: ROS 7.1.3 and ROS 7.2rc4
- After creating an L2TP Ethernet it is not possible to deactivate it, if you try to deactivate it, it activates itself immediately.
L2TPv3 worked for a while but then it fails to establish the tunnel again.

When capturing the packets with Wireshark I have the message Digerst ( Expert Info (Warning/checksum): Incorrect Digest

I was just studying about L2TPv3 on RouterOS

@MikroTik support, could you then please add ipsec numbers to CCR2116 product page ?
https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2116_12 ... estresults

Also note that there's no block diagram and no performance numbers at all for the CCR2216 :

Could you please add them ?

Many thanks !

Many thanks @Znevna for the CCR2216 details.
Would also be nice to have some numbers without l3hw, so that we would know what to expect from this device once hardware table is full (or if l3hw is intentionally disabled).
Same for CCR2116 of course.
@MikroTik support ? :-)

And for CCR2116 ipsec numbers, I think we'll need @MikroTik support, to have their test procedure applied, to get a proper comparison to other models.
Thank you again !

RB5009 crashed twice within 72 hours. Very tragic experience.

Strangely enough, the following command does not drop gre connections :
/ip firewall connection remove [find]
SUP-77175 created accordingly.

It removes the GRE connection on 6.x and 7.1.3?

I tested 6.48.5, 7.1.1, 7.1.3, 7.2rc4, all have the issue.
Very old bug perhaps ?

Or not an bug at all. It may be by design. You posted it in this thread, so it is to assume that this was related to 7.2rc4.
This may be posted to support@mikrotik.com as a future request or as a bug if it ever has worked.

My CAPsMAN (RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD) crashes several times a day with 7.2RC4. (Log: "router was rebooted without proper shutdown")
The configuration is simple and fresh, nothing special.
This didn´t happen with ROS 6.4X.X.
Waiting also for a fixed new RC... :-/

If you can experiment: if you disable CAPsMAN on RB4011, do crashes cease to happen?

Adding:
Depending on how you arrived at this version 7.2rc4 (starting somewhere at ROS6 and then upgrade and upgrade and upgrade ...)
If previous suggestion still results in crashes, you can try to start with CLEAN DEFAULT config, restoring config manually line by line from previous export (you mention the config is pretty basic so should be done rather quickly).

It´s it main role (CAPsMAN). I would loose all my WLAN on my 5 CAP AC´s, so it´s not really a choice to do so.... :-(
I´ve tried 7.1.3 with clean config also, but it doesn´t work very well (WLAN Veeery sloooow and regulary discoonections of my WLAN dfevices)
After downgrade to 6.48.6 I also start from scratch and rebuild the config via Terminal....it worked fine with 6.48.6 :-/
Start to think about to go back to Long-Term....

It seems there were some WLAN-related fixes with 7.2rc4 (but nothing was really mentioned in the change log, users just noticed ...)

I updated our Metal 52 because of what you mention here. Is it required to also upgrade Routerboard firmware, or will just the packages do, do you know?

It's not required to upgrade routerboot, in theory when ROS boots routerboot doesn't matter any more. However, there were moments in history when older routerboot simply wasn't able to boot new ROS (or keep it running stably, such occasion was introduction of ROS v7, routerboot older than around 6.48 could not boot it). So generally it's advisable to upgrade routerboot with ROS ... unless routerboot upgrade actually breaks something (usually it doesn't but ocassionally it does).

I know its only arm yet. Can you post a link to where MT stats that there will be no ZeroTier for other platform?

From what I understood it is a license issue. Too much to be paid when adding all other architectures.
Hopefully Normis can confirm.

We only can do it for ARM systems, no plans for MIPS now.
That is not the same as that there will never be.

It may come in future.
We only can do it for ARM system (since we do not have time, or missing a component, or to little memory or...)

Wouldn't you need to load a package before it would show the ZT directory? Are they working on a package to enable ZT on this version I guess was my question...
You are correct, I didn't have any extra packages loaded. But I don't think MikroTik currently has anything for non ARM processors.

However, the zerotier site has some MIPS64 support, for example https://docs.zerotier.com/devices/ubiquiti/ show the cavium based edgerouters, but not the MediaTek MT7621A based edgerouters like the ER-X. But someone supposedly had ZeroTier working on an ER-X, I don't know if they recompiled from source, and whether the latest version works.

Under OpenWRT they say you can no longer compile using uClibc++ without any explanation.
Note: Zerotier >1.1.14 cannot be compiled with uClibc++ anymore.

But I agree that having ZeroTier on the MMIPS hEX (RB750Gr3), hEX S (RB760iGS), RBMxx would be nice.

Is SSTP fixed in this release? In 7.1.3 is still broken (100% CPU usage without any reason); checked on CHR. Reported as SUP-67642.
To be honest, that's the main reason for not using CHR v7 in production environment.

The problem with the irregulary broken fiber connections with 10GB is still present in 7.2RC4.
I´ve updated yesterday all my MikroTik Devices from 6.48.6 over 6.49.4, 7.1.3 (via upgrade) to 7.2RC4. (RB5009, CRS326-24S+2Q+, CRS328-24P-4S+, RB4011, CRS32624G2S+, 5x CAP AC).
After the update the fiber connection between the CRS326-24S+2Q+ and the CRS328-24P-4S+ began to toggle. Every 5 min. the connection was broken. After deactivation of Graphing the disconnection happend ~ every 20-30 min.
This behaviour didn´t happen with ROS 6.48.6 or 6.49.4 and I only upgraded the ROS, nothing else.
Only the deactivation of "Auto Negotiation" and the fixing to 1GB stopped the diconnections to ~1x per day.
The cable between both devices is ~35m (2x)
The problem exists also with 7.0.5, the days where I´ve tried this ROS version I´ve also changed the cables without success. So the problem exists inside ROS 7.X
(https://help.mikrotik.com/servicedesk/s ... /SUP-71233)
Something new on this topic.
First of all my fiber connections are bonded with LACP. Yesterday I´ve changed my settings within the Bonding set, specially the "Transmit Hash Policy" from "Layer 2" to "Layer 2 and 3" and the disconnections are gone (until now for more than 24h) and my latency in the LAN went dramatically down from >30ms to 1-2ms :-)
So something may have been changed with ROS7 and LACP, but I don´t know what has changed......

"To whom it may concern....." ;-)

Have you ever tried setting it to "layer 3 and 4" ? This is by far recommended over all others for LACP.

Is this feature available for all wireless interfaces? Or is wifiwave2 some special device?

Thanks for the tipp, I´ve implemented it right some minutes ago and will keep an eye on it ;-)
