Traffic Engineering router OS v7 issue

Thu Jul 07, 2022 2:21 pm

hello,
we Plan to implement ipv6 with Traffic Engineering,
Router OS V6 do not support ipv6 with Traffic Engineering only ipv4,
in this moment we have decisded to use Router OS v7,
we have found that Tunnel that we added always and with various configureation but still invalid and has the red color,
it seem that traffic engineering Tunnel do not work in Router OS 7,
by the way we have try only with ip4 for router OS v7 and not works

mpls/traffic-eng/tunnel/print
i get with above command this result:
primary path hop address family different

i need help from experts.

TE should work unless you are using very old v7 build.

Are you using IPv6 in the underlay as well?

no i don't use ipv6, there is probably a bug because if i add the hops via commandline then the interface is normally black but the hops has disappeared in the window, and what i also noticed is that the TE interface never appears in the interface list for version 7, you can't set an ip address for it.

You cannot use TE tunnel directly, you have to set up something that can use TE as a transport, like VPLS then add IP address to the VPLS.

There is a bug with winbox (tested on latest 3.37) causing the hops not to be displayed or set correctly when using the UI, as seen on the image below.

Setting the hops via cli works just fine.

This is what is causing the issues the person above was pointing out.

Just quoting you so that hopefully you get the notification and report this bug to the dev team.
See my post above for details on winbox bug.

There is no "new method" its just a winbox bug. If you want to use TE you need to set the tunnel path hops manually using the CLI.

i understand the bug, but there is also other problem, that te TE tunnel is useless because it do not apeer in interface list, not anywhere els. and then it cannot be used by routing or ip setting

Because the TE tunnel is just an encapsulation, you should not really use the TE tunnel itself, instead use the VPLS tunnel for your firewal rules.

Ok, i used to make routing over TE interface in router OS v 6. how to use firewall with VPLS for TE in V7? is there a explanation? or an example for these procedure? becaus what you say i have no idea about. can any one an exampl suggest? please
i used to apply this tutorial https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Simple_TE

Here you have some info. But basically you need to implement VPLS tunnels on top of the TE tunnels.

Thank you for this post/thread. Three months later this bug is still present in v7.7b8 (WinBox 3.3.764bit). CLI only for now. Any changes attempted in winbox will corrupt the configuration.

thanks for answer
I found a solution for the problems with help from you, it appears as you said a bug in winbox and it could be solved through terminal, that means the hops should be entered through terminal, not winbox, and the interface could also be solved with vpls via TE, thanks again for your help, I mark the topic as solved.

The updated documentation on Traffic Engineering can be found at the following link: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Traffic+Eng. However the menu "/interface traffic-eng" shown there is not available in ROS 7.10. Have you contacted support for this issue?
