MikroTik

laurinkus

What keeps me amazed is how much functionality they manage to squeeze into 15MB software package.

Hopefully this problem won't come back for at least few more years. Then I'm fine to upgrade to ax2 or whatever will be Mikrotik's latest-greatest device.

laurinkus

What helped in my case is reinstalling RouterOS with netinstall. It somehow freed some space that was previously unavailable. Upgrade to 7.15 reduced space usage even further. So problem solved for now.

ac2-disk.png

laurinkus

Yes, in particular the hAP ac2 is in trouble, and MikroTik is in denial. It will be interesting indeed... we will have to see what comes out of it. It seems they were able to squeeze some space in the latest 7.14 beta . I would recommend remaining on 7.12.2 (so before the wireless changes) at least...

laurinkus

Is it possible to downgrade hAP ac² from 7.13.3 to 7.12.2 without using netinstall? It is running extremely low on disk space. > system/resource/print uptime: 1h1m3s version: 7.13.3 (stable) build-time: Jan/24/2024 13:16:46 factory-software: 6.40.5 free-memory: 180.3MiB total-memory: 256.0MiB cpu: A...

laurinkus

I haven't tried netinstall option yet. I'm waiting for Mikrotik's response on how they're planning to address this problem. 7.14beta uses even more space than 7.13 so eventually, more and more users will be affected by this problem unless a sustainable solution is found. Worst case scenario I will b...

laurinkus

Someone marked this topic as SOLVED although it's NOT.

laurinkus

Beware that when space runs out, you won't be able to change configuration. And device might become unstable (rebooting for no actual reason). Or anything else. The last time it ran out of space it didn't come up after the reboot. So one needs to be careful not to run out of space because it effect...

laurinkus

Is a downgrade possible from 7.13 to 7.12.1?

laurinkus

Hi,

My HAP ac2 running on 7.13 is about to run out of space. Is Mikrotik aware of that? Maybe it would be a good idea to exclude ppp and routing from the main package bundle?

ac2.png

laurinkus

Mikrotik could potentially strip out routing daemons from the main bundle. This would save some space.

laurinkus

Is there an algorithm for how to restore?

Hold reset on power-on and keep it for 30secs.

laurinkus

managed to recover. I have a feeling it has something to do with free-hdd-space equal to 0KiB. Can it be that RouterOS is trying to write something to a flash during the bootup? After reset I now have free-hdd-space: 448.0KiB and it just works fine. Both RouterOS 7.13 and RouterBOOT 7.13

laurinkus

Same problem here. AC^2 bricked after upgrading RouterBOOT to 7.13.

laurinkus

When do you expect to release 7.3?

laurinkus

Lost all bridges, all ipip interfaces, one ppp user and historical graphs after upgrading from 7.2 to 7.2.1 on hAP ac^2.

laurinkus

Lost all bridges and ipip interfaces after upgrading from 7.2 to 7.2.1 on hAP ac^2

laurinkus

Does it work on HEx S?

Can it be used behind NAT?

Do you have plans building/publishing X86 Zerotier package? I'd like to run it on RouterOS CHR.

Thanks!

laurinkus

somebody forgot to pay the $35 to renew it for the year, it would seem

Did you have a look at expiry date by any chance before making such a conclusion?

laurinkus

Domain mynetname.net is suspended. Whats happen? Looking at WHOIS it doesn't seem like it has expired. But it definitely looks suspended.

laurinkus

We are down as well. We use the mynetname.net to monitor all our customers routers devices.
This is beyond a big screwup. This should be set to auto renew. Hope they get it back up ASAP!

Same here. Our monitoring just started screaming about it.

laurinkus

It's a shame, but I was told by Mikrotik that this is not something they currently suppport in RouterOS CHR. I was also told by their support that they will only consider implementing this feature if there will be more similar requests. I also got an impression that userdata concept was somehow new ...

laurinkus

Hi mrz, thanks for the workaround. Added the following rule and now it works as I need it. Also learned a new thing about RouterOS. Previously I thought routing filters are only for OSPF/BGP.

/routing filter add chain=dynamic-in distance=2 prefix=0.0.0.0 prefix-length=0 set-routing-mark=backup

Hi all, I have created PPP client interface with "Add default route" enabled and then created a VRF with PPP client interface attached to it. As a result I've got connected route created with a expected routing mark and default route with main routing mark assigned which was unexpected to ...

laurinkus

All issues fixed, versions coming soon:
https://blog.mikrotik.com/security/cve- ... 11479.html

How soon is coming soon?

laurinkus

Same for VERSION and INTERFACE columns in ip neighbor print:

laurinkus

Hi,

Would it be possible to increase the width of a TX-RATE column at the expense of INTERFACE column? INTERFACE doesn't need that much space.

laurinkus

laurinkus

I would still prefer using:

/ip neighbor print

I see two ways how you could solve this problem:

1. by expanding VERSION field a little bit to avoid truncating
2. by removing channel from version string all together

Does that make sense to you? Shouldn't be hard to implement.

laurinkus

Hi Mikrotik,

Would it be possible to allocate more space for VERSION string? Why there's so much space reserved for ADDRESS?

laurinkus

It work with SSH. Could you please add this security feature to Winbox?

laurinkus

It doesn't make sense because SwOS counters are 32-bit anyway.

laurinkus

Hi Mikrotik,

Could you please implement public key authentication for both ssh and winbox? It is more secure than password authentication and probably much easier to manage.

laurinkus

Thanks for adding port names in 1.15.

Could you please now change SWOS interface counters from 32 bit to 64 bit? Thank you.

laurinkus

+1

It's kind of lame to rely on 32-bit counters on a GigE switch. Isn't it??

laurinkus

+1

laurinkus

Coud you please make statistics counters 64-bit? On a fully loaded 1Gbps port it takes ~ 34 seconds for a 32-bit counter to reset. That's no good. >>> (1<<32) / (10e8 / 8) 34.359738368 Configurable MDP VLAN would also be nice feature to have. Now SwOS sends broadcasts only to VLAN 1. P.S. PoE on 1.1...

laurinkus

janisk, could you please post changelog of 1.14?

laurinkus

%subj%

You must be not serious? Huh?

laurinkus

What's new in 1.14? Can someone post a changelog?

laurinkus

500mA, to be precise.

So... will this current be sufficient to power both RB260GSP and RB951Ui-2HnD?

laurinkus

Would such PoE configuration work?

laurinkus

Same here. Although it's not a problem for me as there is still plenty of free space.

laurinkus

How many switches are there inside the RB2011 ?

Could you please update http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Sw ... troduction ?

laurinkus

Any progress with this feature?

laurinkus

It's out for testing.

laurinkus

sooooo.... ? Do you have anything to show us today?

laurinkus

For example RB2011US-2HnD-IN. Currently 7 variants
planned to release gradually from December to February.

It's February already.

laurinkus

Will it support MetaROUTER?

ether1 is PoE in or out?

laurinkus

I had the same problem with device naming on X86 after upgrading to 5.11

laurinkus

First few modifications will ship in december, so end users can hope for holidays, or early january. see last few slides here: http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/US11/us11.pdf

laurinkus

That's is idle, you should check on the system > resources.

Do you really think I was asking why load is so "high" due to Idle ? Actually I was a bit surprised that AP in idle mode uses up to 18% of CPU. But that's probably because of ANI is enabled.

laurinkus

Why wireless uses so much of CPU even when no users are connected to the AP? What is behind unclassified?

laurinkus

Any notice about CE Certification (EN 55022 class A) ?
I received this from Mikrotik on Sep 26th.

"More units to EU distributors we will be able to send in ~three weeks, when CE DoC will be ready."

Tom

I've heard there are some problems with CE certification. Is it truth?

laurinkus

When can I expect to have one too ?

laurinkus

So where is RB751U-2HnD ?

laurinkus

Actually the RB751G will come after the RB751U, which will ship to distributors in around 10-14 days.

laurinkus

Normis,

according to hu11.pdf:

Today is the 1st of July. So my question is do you plan to release 711U in April 2012 ?

laurinkus

How about RB751U ? Wasn't it supposed to be released in April ?

laurinkus

How about RB751-2n and RB751U ?

laurinkus

April coming to an end. Where's the new boards promised for this month ?

laurinkus

Yes. None of the parameters i'm interested in is mentioned there.

laurinkus

CPU, RAM, RouterOS licence level, RX sensitivity, TW power

RB/493AH has no GigE and is too expensive. RB/800 is even more expensive.

What I'm looking for is:

680MHz board with 1 x GigE, 1 x miniPCI and RouterOS L4 licence

laurinkus

RouterStation Pro is exactly what I want but the thing is that it does not support RouterOS. Atleast according to one guy from this forum.

normis, which parts of RouterStation Pro are imcompatible with RouterOS ? Architecture seems to be pretty much the same as in RBs.

laurinkus

laurinkus

RB750 is a great little router. What would be great though is if they added an SFP port to it so that one could add a fiber adapter to it. Then the router could be used in a fiber to the premise solution. Are you willing to pay for this feature some extra $300 when you can buy fiber transceiver for...

laurinkus

Glad to hear. Hope this model will be revealed during the next MUM.

What I'm looking for is RB750R with at least one GigE port and 680Mhz CPU or RB411AHRG.

laurinkus

What is the rationale to put so many GigE ports (13) on device which is has routing capacity only of 1-2Gbps ? This adds extra price but I see no use of it.

laurinkus

I still have a hope that Mikrotik will consider launching 750-series Wireless-capable device.

This is official assignments of port numbers for specific uses. Theory sometimes does not correspond to reality.
