Is possible to have more detail about «fixed Netinstall procedure for ARM devices», please?

Why would I want to know? To prevent any problems with previous stable versions, until stable 7.5.x is available.

Thanks and good work.

nescafe2002 · Wed Jul 27, 2022 10:48 am

*) dns - added "match-subdomain" option for static entries (CLI only);

This is a nice addition!

E.g. to delegate a domain + subnet without having to use regexp:

/ip dns static 
add forward-to=192.168.89.2 match-subdomain=yes name=otherdomain.lan type=FWD
add forward-to=192.168.89.2 match-subdomain=yes name=89.168.192.in-addr.arpa type=FWD
add forward-to=2001:db8:200::1 match-subdomain=yes name=0.0.2.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa type=FWD

Will forward otherdomain.lan, *.otherdomain.lan and reverse lookups (192.168.89.*) to 192.168.89.2 and reverse ipv6 lookups (2001:db8:200::/48) to 2001:db8:200::1.

elbob2002 · Wed Jul 27, 2022 11:24 am

This brings us one step closer to Zerotier on CHR. Is there any documentation on how to enable tun/tap devices for a container?

Rox169 · Wed Jul 27, 2022 11:33 am

Hi,

*) wifiwave2 - added support for 802.11k;

it is nice to see that Mikrotik is working on few years old wifi standards. Finally we have 802.11 r and 802.11 k only one left 802.11 v I hope they will not forget this standard.

The last question is where is HW on which I could run this roaming?

Only HAP AC3 and Audience?? That is very sad that MT is not possible to deploy this wifiwave to CAP HW....

Here's hoping we get a detailed reply, I'm not updating a single ARM device until this is clarified.

elbob2002 · Wed Jul 27, 2022 11:36 am

I guess we'll be blessed with CAPsMAN working with wifiwave2 driver in 7.8 or something. Roaming will then get into another dimension (right now it's 1D, it'll become 3D).

dksoft · Wed Jul 27, 2022 12:29 pm

*) firewall - added support for RTSP helper;

Works! Great, thank you.
I will try with multiple cameras and come back.

Edit: I have multiple cams on the camera site (7.4) which are NATed with different ports x, y, z ... By simply adding all the ports in the "rtsp" entry under "service ports" on the viewing site (7.5b4) they all work now. Did not work before the RTSP helper. I needed to create a VPN to directly access the cameras back then.

Probably it means just that, that they fixed some problems reported in v7 regarding netinstall and arm devices.
How is this stopping you from doing upgrades?

Wed Jul 27, 2022 1:05 pm

That do not stop me to use upgrade inside routeros.
I ask details for «prevent any problems with previous stable versions» when netinstall is used...

Nor do we, that's why rextended is asking for clarity.

anav · Wed Jul 27, 2022 2:48 pm

Im with rextended, not literally,
What is wrong with my netwinstall processes for ARM on current firmware
Also curious as to what was fail threshold before and why changed............

*) netinstall - fixed Netinstall procedure for ARM devices;
*) netwatch - changed ICMP default packet loss fail threshold to 85%;

Znevna · Wed Jul 27, 2022 2:58 pm

There's nothing in the changelog about netinstall and "previous versions" so please explain, rextended.

Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:02 pm

*) netinstall - fixed Netinstall procedure for ARM devices;

Is simple: if on THIS version the "Netinstall procedure for ARM devices" is fixed,
it is implied that in one or more previous versions (and it is not explained "from which version")
there was something "broken", otherwise why "fix" it?
I, and the others, just want to know what is this problem because we use 7.4 (stable) which apparently has this problem.

.

Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:26 pm

rextended - If you tried to Netinstall ARM device and it either freezes before the installation process (you could see that on a serial console) or reboots itself before the installation process is started, then this fix should be the one that helps. In general, the fix should be safe enough so you could use v7.5beta Netinstall for any RouterOS installation.

anav · Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:30 pm

There's nothing in the changelog about netinstall and "previous versions" so please explain, rextended.

Sorry, there is nothing in the v7.5 beta that improves eyesight or literacy ;-PP

Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:38 pm

@strods !!!
Oh, how nice, this confirms the habit I already have: I always use the latest netinstall even to install older versions...
Thanks for the reply, have all a nice day.

[
for three reasons:
it leaves nothing of itself after installation
the new version supports more hardware, for sure
if there is a problem they have solved it, even if it is not in the changelog

Guscht · Wed Jul 27, 2022 5:29 pm

*) dns - added "match-subdomain" option for static entries (CLI only);
Please explain this function! Do I understand it correct w/o this, test.com will match only, but site1.test.com not. If I enable this all under "test.com" will match. Like: site1.test.com, site2.test.com. abc.test.com 123.test.com...???

*) firewall - added support for RTSP helper;
What is a "RTSP-Helper"? I know RTSP is some kind of Video-Straming Protocol. Why do I need a "helper" and for what reason?

pe1chl · Wed Jul 27, 2022 5:57 pm

BGP: sessions screen in winbox (3.37) shows an uptime of 497d 02:23:00 shortly after the reboot at installation, ticking DOWN instead of UP!
It also does not reflect the actual uptime of the session, it is just the same for all sessions.
Remote ID is shown as 0.0.0.0 for all sessions.
Is BGP session monitoring now getting worse in preparation for it getting much better??

pe1chl · Wed Jul 27, 2022 6:49 pm

BGP: well, now at least it logs the message "HoldTimer expiredsessionname" when a session times out.
A space between the word expired and the sessionname would be great! But it is better than "Session *=0x30100010" as it was before!

Getting permission error using plain nginx image.
...
root-dir=disk1/nginx. /var/log/nginx is not mounted.

I guess this is expected. Until 7.4beta5 it was possible to write into non-mounted directories (internal container directories as extracted from tar file), which should not be permitted. I guess you'll either need to mount /var/log, or modify the docker file to mount it as tmpfs. Maybe Mikrotik should allow us to write to those directories but just not save the changes, like docker does

*) ovpn - fixed encryption key renewal process which caused periodic session disconnects;

This seemed to have fixed my hourly-disconnect problem! I thought it had to do with the "reneg-secs" OVPN parameter but I see that's still set to 3600. In any case, a client/config that wouldn't make it past 60 mins before is now at the 90 minute mark.

Thanks!!!

On the other hand, I found and reported (above) 3 new issues in BGP and none of them are even remotely related to a "What's new" item about BGP in the opening post.
So clearly there are changes that do not appear in there. It could well be that BFD has been added in this release and we would not have noticed.

802.11k support
How can configure that?
It's added in the documentation:

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WifiWave2

I only find an on/off switch for the feature.
Isn't 802.11k supposed to provide the client with a list of neighboring APs? Where does this list come from? I suppose the list should either be manually configurable (I think this is possible in OpenWRT), created by a centralized management solution (like capsman) or populated by the AP itself by scanning its neighborhood (might cause short outages while scanning other channels).

The current 802.11k/r functionality is just a work in progress in preparation for future use in real applications.
At the moment, it only knows about the 2 interfaces of the same AP (2 GHz and 5 GHz) to roam between them. More or less a toy.
Of course for real usability it has to have a "backbone interconnect" between the involved APs, yes. That would likely be part of a new CAPsMAN2 that manages them.

Hmmm... I wonder which part of these instructions on the help page was not clear.

Container package needs to be installed

pe1chl · Sat Aug 06, 2022 3:43 pm

Documentation is not yet clear ;-)
* https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... quirements page says "container package must be installed" but does not tell you how
* There is no /system/package/install command
* no package repository configured in routeros to list available packages

I agree with you (and I have proposed several times) that the package menu should have some sort of listing of available packages and a way to install them by command (both commandline and the GUI version) instead of having to fiddle with zip files and uploading.
It should be easy to do, as the required packages are available from the upgrade server. The device knows how to download them when you do an upgrade. So why not when initially adding them?
No idea.

I will apologize, you are correct.

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Packages
That page does NOT indicate HOW a package should be installed ...

But that's nothing new related to this release, is it ?

bug report:

ppp on-up and on-down scripts do not run when they have empty line after their (script)name in profile window.

please fix it. it was annoying.

volkirik, your issue is not related to 7.5beta.

E.g. on 6.48.6:

/system script add name=test policy=test source=":log info test"
/system scheduler add interval=10s name=test on-event="test\r\n" policy=test

Will not run, but

/system script add name=test policy=test source=":log info test"
/system scheduler add interval=10s name=test on-event="test" policy=test

Will.

The newline makes the difference between a script (name) and actual code. I think this is by design.
So if you reference to a script (name) in any code window (ppp/dhcp/scheduler/...), make sure you don't append a newline.

this design must be fixed sir!

eworm · Sat Aug 06, 2022 5:53 pm

No, it must not. If you want a newline, use this:

/system/scheduler/add interval=10s name=test on-event="/system/script/run test\r\n" policy=test

Should work...

is 7.5beta6 going to be released soon?

what are new fixes and new features?

holvoetn · Sun Aug 07, 2022 4:56 pm

Patience, little padawan.

It'll come when they think it's ready.

volkirik · Sun Aug 07, 2022 5:02 pm

i propose they open daily snapshot builds in development channel

so we can brick the stuff :D ;P

Hopefully there will soon be a new beta that fixes this:

What's new in 7.4.1 (2022-Aug-04 14:48):

*) firewall - fixed "in-interface-list" matcher when VRF is used;

My VRF experiment stranded on this bug but I am running beta version...
