v6.28 RC testing

Tue Feb 24, 2015 1:26 pm

Please test the v6.28 RC that we have added today. Most of the reported issues have been adressed. Let us know what issues you have and what we could still fix before release next week:

What's new in 6.28rc5 (2015-Feb-24 09:31):
*) fixed tunnels - could crash when clamp-tcp-mss was enabled;
*) console - added 'comment' parameter for '/system script';
*) api - return sentences can have property ~.section~ that groups values
from commands such as ~monitor~, ~traceroute~,
~print~ (with non-zero 'interval' value);
*) cloud - add time zone detection feature ~/system clock time-zone-autodetect~;
*) cloud - rename ~/ip cloud enabled~ to ~/ip cloud ddns-enabled~;
*) cloud - make ~/ip cloud update-time~ independent from ~/ip cloud ddns-enabled~
*) cloud - when setting ~/ip cloud ddns-enabled~ to ~no~ router will send
message to server to disable DNS name for this routerboard;
*) cloud - ~/ip cloud force-update~ command now will work also when
~/ip cloud ddns-enabled = no~. usefull if user wants to disable DDNS;
*) RB4xxGL - improved ethernet throughput (less dropped packets);
*) trafflow: - fixed crash on disable;
*) pppoe - fixed crash when big ppp packets with were sent over EOIP;
*) tilegx - fixed memory leak when queue settings are changed;
*) ar9888 - fixed crash when hw reports invalid rate;
*) console - fixed "in" operator in console;
*) console - make "/system package update print" work again.

Wasn't that already added in 6.27? Or are there commands other than those now that also have .section?

can you please try and improve the ac and ac settings in the new ros

Tue Feb 24, 2015 4:15 pm

can you please try and improve the ac and ac settings in the new ros

what specifically would you like to have improved?

mars · Tue Feb 24, 2015 5:13 pm

there is very little control over the data settings as we can not set lower speeds to improve ccq and stability of the link
and we would like to see current tx power in ros

kristaps · Tue Feb 24, 2015 5:58 pm

for ac band you cannot set specific data-rates because the 802.11ac standard prohibits that.

6.28rc5 killed ethernet on my test RB433AH. It's showing some signs of life, shows in neighbours and ping sometimes works, but that's it. Attempt to connect using WinBox (both IP and MAC) fails. And while it does, ping stops too. Then after a while it seems to get back into this not-completely-dead state. But the system is otherwise ok all the time, console works, wireless works, etc. Downgrade back to 6.27 solves it.

Update: It seems to be triggered by almost any bigger outgoing traffic and it doesn't really have to be big in usual sense. Even an attempt to download new dlls by WinBox is enough. One sure way is to start bandwidth test in direction from router, it makes interface dead immediately (direction to router works fine).

Please add the uptime graph to the graphing section ! Should be fairly easy to do. Would make my life way easier.

What about [Ticket#2015021466000104] ?

Wed Feb 25, 2015 9:45 am

Thank you very much for the report. I repeated the same problem on my RB433, we are working on the fix.

Ticket#2014122966000079
This is a bug with the route table not being available over SNMP.

Ticket#2014120866000733
This is a bug with VirtualAP showing inside SNMP Station Interface table (mtxrWlStatEntry)

What about [Ticket#2015021466000104] ?

To this ticket. I received today info from Mikrotik support that I should have all involved ros devices at the same level (6.27). But the ticket was also about the SSTP not working between two 6.27 devices. So the advice was false.

I found the solution myself: it is the PFS option that is not documented. Correct settings allows communication between both 6.27 as between different versions (for example 6.27-6.18 or 6.27-6.25 in my case).

Mikrotik should take care about the documentation if changing/adding anything!

Sob · Fri Feb 27, 2015 3:17 am

Seeing how nobody wants anything (well, not entirely true, but this thread is pretty low volume one

), I'd like to ask one more time (there was no response from MT last time) if there's a chance you could look at [Ticket#2014120466000688]. I need that config for few routers and the bug is blocking my ability to upgrade them. I don't really have to do that yet, because newer versions don't add any indispensable new feature for me, but sooner or later...

If I make it into more general question, my main concern (besides fixing the bug) is the lack of information about current status. The last response I got from MT was more than two months ago. That was after I confirmed that half of the problem was fixed. Now I can only wonder. Is someone working on the rest? Is there perhaps some problem I could help with (testing)? Did anyone look into it at all? And in case the answer is no, is it because it's low priority, ticket was silently closed, or ... ?

Please solve also this bug, is also present on 6.28 RC (tested on RB433AH):

*) fixed tunnels - could crash when clamp-tcp-mss was enabled;
*) pppoe - fixed crash when big ppp packets with were sent over EOIP;
*) tilegx - fixed memory leak when queue settings are changed;

I have exactly these problems.
is there any ROS version where I can have fully working eoips and pppoe ?

Mon Mar 02, 2015 4:04 pm

mysz0n - How all of these three problems are manifesting themselves to you? Please write description of your problem, generate supout files which are generated after problem has appeared and send this information to our support mail. Of course please make sure that problem has not been fixed in version 6.28rc6 already.

jondavy · Mon Mar 02, 2015 4:28 pm

in PPPoe Client add the option to add a column'service' because I have several interfaces with several pppoe servers with several'service name' so you can filter connections by'service name'

and add the option to filter logs

sorry my bad english..

mysz0n · Mon Mar 02, 2015 4:32 pm

I've done it already [Ticket # 2015011966000455]
It turned out to be problem with eoip tunels, with the eoip enabled i got lots of kernel panic errors and reboots. (although to this day I have no answer for that ticket)
Problem with PPPoE sessions - if I'm trying to ping client, using internal network address, I have 7-8ms 0% loss if I ping him via pppoe server address I have 18-20ms and 4% packet loss.
queue - ccr suddenly begins to limit all traffic to 22Megabits on download site
I'm unable to install RC packages on working equipment.
The problem remains on ros 6.25 ad 6.27

mysz0n - Reply to ticket 2015011966000455 was sent to you already at 27/01/2015. You have not replied to it. Changes in this topic are included in version 6.28rcX. If you can not test it on your device then what makes you think that problems are still actual even in 6.28rcX? Please test it when 6.28 full release will be available and contact us if problem/s still persists.

Are there any changes to any of the wireless packages in this RC which are not mentioned in the changelog?

The addition of fast path indicators.....FANTAAAAATIC...

TY Mikrotik. You guys/gals rock.

Are there anymore fast path options going to be available in the future? I heard firewall fast-path was in the development stages. Maybe we can get an IPv6 fast-path as well?

Fri Mar 13, 2015 11:35 am

Changelog fixed. Yes, it was a typo

will there be any improvements in the wireless package and for ac as it is still very unstable

Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:48 pm

Please describe the issue you are seeing. Last few versions are very good, including for ac. If you find it "unstable", I suggest you to also analyze your spectrum. Maybe there is interference or other factors.

mars · Fri Mar 13, 2015 2:32 pm

there is always interference and it must be taken in consideration when designing these packages

Fri Mar 13, 2015 3:17 pm

Interference must be considered when a link is planned.

mars · Fri Mar 13, 2015 3:42 pm

Interference must be considered when a link is planned.

so what would you do different when there is noise

Fri Mar 13, 2015 3:48 pm

Interference must be considered when a link is planned.

so what would you do different when there is noise

more directional antennas, antennas with better FB Ratio, search for channel with lowest interference, use smaller channels, limit used modulations, lower tx on neighboring systems

Are this side effects as there is nothing in the changelogs?

Please add Virtual AP for NV2

This could be nice, but looks like the 6.x focus is stability. Maybe for v7 ?
I can be wrong, however.
