DHCP option 82 for IGMP snooping was completely borked in SwOS, is there any acknowledgement on this? from this changelog it doesn't seem like it was fixed.

SNMP readouts are rock stable since the update, no random 0 readings anymore \o/

Awesome! Now I can finally upgrade my CSS610-8P from the SwOS 17rc1 I was running for the past 1.5 years! So glad to see SwOS isn't dead. It really is great for normal L2 implementations where ROS is complete overkill. Keep it coming Mikrotik!

Long long overdue, when was the last update? Two years ago?
But we need SWOS update as well, not only lite.

Thanks, but more of "release early, release often" from now on please - so many accumulated changes means more risk the upgrade breaks something (especially if it makes the device inaccessible after remote upgrade, so can't rollback easily).

Would it be possible to add something like "safe mode" - some way to restore previous working config when remote access is lost due to a wrong config change. It has been standard in TP-Link managed switches - changes applied but not saved permanently until "save config" menu option is selected (can't do that if you just lost remote access), until then changes can be undone by reboot/power-cycle. Better yet, undo changes if not confirmed within some specified timeout, for situations where power-cycle is not easy (as in reverse-PoE switches, asking a few people to power-cycle their PoE at the same time is a challenge).

Thanks!

I updated my CSS610-8P-2S+ last night from 2.17RC1. For some reason I had to do it twice as the first time it seems to have rebooted the switch but did nothing. Second time worked without any issues.

Probably you should mention that POE devices will all get a powercut during the update.

They also have to write that to update the software you need to turn on the device?

The comment you are referring to is actually relevant as on a crs318 at least, most ROS updates do not cause power interruption to the POE devices.

But this is SwOS (lite), and not RouterOS...

The only reason I mentioned ROS is that is what I test on. I think the power/reboot functionality would have to do more with the hardware(and warm/hard reboot) and not ROS as it is rebooting anyway.

Any plans to report SFP DDM/DOM via SNMP?

hmmmm... i did the upgrade on Aug 16 and today i had the switch lock-up on me, no ip, no arp, no forwarding! All LEDs were lit as expected and even links negotiated. needed a power cycle to recover. i hope this was a unique random occasion but if you experience something similar, please post here so we can collect for a support ticket.

best
