Serious problem with static routing in 2.9.31

savagedavid · Sun Oct 08, 2006 2:39 am

Since upgrading my main router to 2.9.31 I am experience a serious issue. A ny new route I add through my outgoing (ether) interface appears with interface as unknown, even though the IP is valid and I can ping the gateway. As well as that, some of my current policy routing rules have also gone the same way. Even if I remove and re-add the current default gateway it appears as invalid and all internet access shuts down. The only way I can get it back is using the undo command.

This is very scary as I feel my router is in a very unstable condition. I dont want to downgrade either for fears it might carry the problems through to the previous version.

I have sent a supout.rif to support[at]mikrotik.com already.

I think this is the issue posted elsewhere this week. Seems winbox is adding routes with the wrong target-scope - scope settings I believe. Check using CLI.

Sad that QA didn't catch that, and the common way of adding routes (using winbox) wasn't tested.

savagedavid, it will be fixed in the new version.

So will using CLI to add the routes instead fix the problem? Note that it was some of my existing routes that stopped working as well as new routes that I added.

I ran into this and posted it last week. The conversation contained nothing of value, but here it is:

OK so this is what I found. To get it working I had to delete all invalid routes and policy routes in the route table, then re-add the exact same routes but via command line. This seems to work as a temporary solution.

Unfortunately it appears they did not fix it in 2.9.32

I am hoping they did fix it and just forgot to add it to the changelog...

*) fixed bug in PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP - rate limiting queue addition failed sometimes;
*) fixed bug in PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP - after reboot 100s of users reconnecting can make
some connections non working;

ppp users lists, disallowing re-login if only-one is set;
*) speed up WinBox secure mode data transfer rate 2.5 times;
*) notice clock changes made by NTP and adjust GMT offset accordingly;
*) console command "system reset" has been renamed to "system reset-configuration";

I just put it on a test box and it does appear to be working correctly, just didn't make it into the changelog.

Initial tests seem to indicate it is now working correctly. I will post any further updates if required.
