Re: CHR installation on Vultr fails, old virtio drivers

Vultr uses its own emulated machine firmware they develop. I would choose an old distro they let you install and then use something like finnix to write the CHR image to the virtual hard drive over SSH. Using and old distro may help as it may use older emulated hardware and perhaps might not even be...

Re: OSPF routes marked invalid

... BTW: If I run CHR v6.49 they all work perfect, HOWEVER, it seems CHR v6.49 can't be run with virtio drivers (it is not only me).... Make sure your VM for CHR is set to use the i440fx chipset and not q35. If it is set to q35 the virtio drivers will not work but under i440fx they should work fine...

Re: OSPF not working on RouterOS v7.1 between 2 routers

Hello, I have just upgraded to Router OS V7.1 on 2 of my routers and everything seems to work perfectly normal with the exception of OSPF. OSPF works without any issues in Router OS v6.49.2 but I can't get it working in v7.1 I have attached the 2 router configs. For now I can only provide the confi...

Re: Set static IP and local DNS name at once (like in dnsmasq)

Find a compatible openwrt image for your routing hardware and use metarouter to run it. Add a virtual interface to it that connects to the bridge. Set up dnsmasq in the metarouter Mikrotik needs to enhance dhcp with dns. This bland dhcp service they offer in routeros is poor and not entirely helpful...

CRS WiFi defunct in 6.42

The new 6.42 software has carried an issue from the RCs that has made my WiFi defunct. I had opened a request with Mikrotik when I found the issue in one of the RCs and sent them everything they had asked for but it appears they have ignored any further emails. Now that same bug has entered into 6.4...

Re: Router board rebooted without proper shutdown

There could be a kernel panic. I would connect to the mikrotik from another computer over serial and set the program used for serial connectivity to store logged text. This will ensure any extra data is capturef to help diagnose. Long ago I had to do this to diagnose an issue

Latest RC: hw-offload and VLANs

With this new release removing the need for the master port, how do VLANs now interact with the bridge? Do I create a new VLAN under the bridge now instead of old interface (was ether2)? Any adjustments needed to the switch chip settings?

Re: Mikrotik as OpenVPN Client for PFSense

I have a working Mikrotik to pfSense tunnel via OpenVPN working. This is not a full guide but here are some steps to help you: You must set up the VPN server on pfSense's side using the "Remote Access (User Auth)" Server Mode. The reason for this is that Mikrotik requires usernames/passwor...

Re: Metarouter in CRS with 6.31+ broken?

Emailed support on this and they state 6.32rc3+ fixes the issue. I have tested this and can confirm no crashes so far.

Re: Metarouter crashes the kernel on v6.31

If your environment supports it, go and upgrade to the latest release candidate as it looks like they fixed this in rc3. I tested by adding a couple of metarouters and had no crashes

Metarouter in CRS with 6.31+ broken?

I have been having a ton of kernel crashes on my CRS after trying to work with metarouter in 6.31+ (up to 6.32rc2 tested) and no outlandish setup is done on the guests. I just create the mr and proceed to virtualize an interface or two inside it and apply ip/routing settings. After wondering if it w...

Re: excessive broadcast / loop error message

Just posting another confirmation that this is happening on 6.31 for the CRS for me. Dropped back to 6.30.2 and no more blue text filling up my log.
