It does routing at wirespeed, in all ports. There are several constraints, and a limit of 4096 connections, if I'm not wrong. But in some use cases it will be a killing feature.

pe1chl · Fri Aug 21, 2020 2:55 pm

Observations (not really new for this build but maybe off the radar):
- when a static route is disabled, it disappears from the listing entirely, as if it has been deleted. when the window is closed/reopened, it appears again in greyed-out status.
- the BGP functionality still exists only in CLI and not in winbox. I would have hoped (or maybe this is the time to do that!) that all GUI info is derived from a common set of tables that is shared by all the user interfaces, so the work does not have to be done 3 times...
- when I close the Log window and re-open it, winbox completely hangs.

any hint on how to flash this on a HAP MINI? On previous beta, it said internal storage is not enough to upgrade... it's a brand new model, factory reset... maybe because of beta and so build not optimized yet? Will it ever be a version for low storage devices?

thanks in advance

It's Wireguard v1.0.0 proper (as shipped with v5.6).

Note for whoever wants to give it a spin: you need to use the cli to set the peer endpoint - Winbox doesn't allow you to set the port (it will default to 0).

Cha0s · Fri Aug 21, 2020 3:42 pm

!) added WireGuard support;

Gave it a try on a hEX (RB750Gr3) and it worked out of the box!

The performance was capped at around 100mbit though. Maybe the hEX is not powerful enough.
More tests are warranted :)

I 4 1 do NOT believe that It will do routing at wire-speed ... why I do not believe that .... because for L3 wire-speed requires an ASIC and non of the hardware specs I see have that L3 ASIC in the gear. Yes there will be an improvement in performance but nowhere near wire-speed.

Are you sure that mention switchip doesn't have that feature?

msatter · Fri Aug 21, 2020 3:55 pm

Just tried this version and had to go back to 6.4x.

Bug [SUP-15464] which is partly fixed in 6.4x is still present in 7.1x (retain correct MTU PPPoE through a SFP on a 4011) restarting the SFP does not help.

Changing the MTU manually on a interface crashes the router (tested it on a 4011 and 750-Gr2) remark, MTU set in the configuration by a 6.4x seems to be honored

In routing I noticed something different on the route for the gateway PPPoE connection, the first was 0.0.0.0/0 but that a label DAv instead of DAS (v from VPN) and I have IKEv2 defined but not all traffic has to go through a tunnel. I assume this "v" indicates that the IKEv2 tunnels are terminated on the PPPoE.

I did upgrade my firmware to 7.1x but to no avail. And I first downgraded to 6.47.2 before upgrading to the 7.1beta2

What do you think the, let's say 98DX8208 chip in the CRS309 is? It's a switching ASIC that has lots of functionality built in, L3 forwarding among them. MT simply didn't implement it up to now.

@macgaiver
I am not familiar with that specific switch chip so I am in part writing out of ignorance of that specific chip.

I am familiar with how CISCO does in on their MLS devices. Typically for wire-speed routing in the Cisco Switch world Cisco requires three entities to implement multilayer switching: the switching engine (SE), the route processor (RP), and the MLS protocol. The SE performs the switching function, the RP performs the routing function, and the MLS protocol provides for communication between these two devices. This aside, there is one very simple concept that makes it all possible: the flow. A flow can be defined as a stream of packets from the same source to the same destination using the same application. As an example, a flow could be an HTTP session between a source browser and a target server. In a Cisco MLS network, the initial packet in a session is routed via the RP, but all subsequent packets in that particular session are switched by the SE. The SE maintains a cache about these flows and can determine whether or not a given packet is part of an established session. If so, the SE rewrites the pertinent packet info as if it had been processed by the router and then switches the packet. This process is commonly referred to as “route once, switch many.” It occurs at switch speed, not at the slower router speed.

So in terms of MikroTik and RouterOS I do not see ANY functionality that mimics or deals with wire-speed Routing at the switch level.

Just upgraded to v7.1b2 and spotted a few issues:
First and most important is routing marks don't work
The second one is about wireguard. Why I can't specify the port number for peer? Is it intended or a bug as well?

Use NetInstall to flash hAP Mini.

not able to put device in netboot mode in any way tried... short, direct cable from pc eth to eth2, i add this command:
/system routerboard settings set boot-device=try-ethernet-once-then-nand
then unplug power and eth, move eth to eth1 port, replug power, it never appears in netinstall...

left eth cable in eth1, unplug power, keep pressed reset for more than 2 minutes, nothing, never appeared in netinstall...
again, unplugged power, keep pressed reset, replug power, left reset after lights went off, nothing again...

L3 offloading happens on the switch chip.
That's why it's called "L3 offloading". They offload the routing functionality from the CPU, to the switch chip, thus achieving wirespeed.

The switch chips used in those RB models (which are ASICs basically) do support L3 routing at wirespeed as per Marvell's datasheet.
The hardware support was already there, but MikroTik just started supporting it on ROS.

null31 · Fri Aug 21, 2020 5:14 pm

@mrshark
You need to use a switch between pc and router. Direct connection is prone to fail, since you have a change on link state.
So, the netinstall "become" slow to detect the router.
Also, typically ether1 is used by netboot, except if is identified another port for that role.

Well, the switch chipset has the circuitry. If they will implement it all they way is another question. But the hardware is already there.

pe1chl · Fri Aug 21, 2020 6:18 pm

There is no need to question the possibility of doing L3 routing on a switch, there have been competing switches from other companies that do wirespeed routing for a long time.
It must be like 20 years ago when I got my first 3com L3 switch and was amazed at how it could route so fast, for that price, when compared to Cisco routers of the day (3640 etc).
And indeed, it normally works as described: the first packet for a src/dst ip pair is handled by the CPU, then an item is programmed in the switch that forwards the remainder of the traffic.
Just like it is done for L2 switching (where a MAC table is kept in the switch hardware to know where to forward the traffic.

Do a search on this forum and you find many answer. Netinstall is one way. You can also downgrade to an older version that is much smaller, like some 6.44.x version, then upgrade to latest.

metricmoose · Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:08 pm

Wireguard is working well, except for that minor winbox issue with the endpoint port. With how easy it was to setup, I totally get the Wireguard hype now. IPSEC has a frustrating amount of knobs to turn.

Between a couple hAP ac² routers, I was getting about 280 Mbps UDP. When I changed out one of those hAP ac² routers with an older RB951G-2HnD, I was getting about 75 Mbps. That's probably better than I'd get out of IPSEC on the same device!

Wireguard is included in the beta, that's awesome. Thank you to all the devs for the addition, looking forward to setting it up then I get home.

mducharme · Fri Aug 21, 2020 10:30 pm

P.S. One thing I would really like to see in the new RouterOS v7 MPLS implementation is MPLS mangle for QoS purposes - specifically, "mark packet" and "set priority" actions for MPLS. Right now to do MPLS QoS on RouterOS we have to create a bunch of extra bridges and use bridge filters for QoS. A simple MPLS mangle table would allow us to get rid of those extra bridges.

Also, please add "set priority" to the IPv6 Mangle. We have to use bridge filters as a workaround for that too at the moment.

Here is the preliminary testing we have done on this version with two CHRs on ProxMox that are each on a different VLAN and the CRS317 routes between the VLANs

This is very quick UDP test - we will do more work using TCP with traffic generator and iperf3

4 to 5 Gbps with UDP and 0 to 3% CPU load

You'd be a fool to reimplement it yourself. Have a look at the Wireguard site and code and see for yourself how carefully it's been developed. Mikrotik would/might have only done some interface changes to make it work the ROS way.

Is there any examples on how to configure wireguard as client on mikrotik? I'd like to connect my mikrotik router to an existing wireguard server. Also, while setting up the peer endpoint, only IP addresses are allowed? Can't I use a domain name?

Thanks!

pe1chl · Sat Aug 22, 2020 2:13 pm

Wireguard is working well, except for that minor winbox issue with the endpoint port. With how easy it was to setup, I totally get the Wireguard hype now. IPSEC has a frustrating amount of knobs to turn.

When you don't like that, just don't turn the knobs!
It is always easy (at least at first) to create something as a single supplier and focus on a single use-case, and make it look simple. Look at Microsoft Windows.
But as more and more features are added (e.g. multiple different encryption methods, as in IPsec), it becomes more complicated over time.
See how it went with OpenVPN, that was also simple at first but got more complicated on the way, especially because there was little forethought on how to accomodate future flexibility in the initial protocol.
IMHO the same will happen with wireguard.
In IPsec it happened right from the start because lots of options for lots of selections were there all the time. But without that, it would have been even more difficult to introduce stronger encryption and hashing protocols, for example.

Paternot · Sat Aug 22, 2020 3:20 pm

One thing that need to be done is to allow Wireguard to use FQDN instead of just IP addresses. For two reasons, basically:

1) Not everyone have a static IP
2) With IPv6, DNS names will make a huge difference. So much easier to remember and to check the spelling...

Yes, yes, I know. Wireguard doesn't do FQDNs. It doesn't matter: just put the name on the configuration, and do a DNS lookup at connection time. Exactly like we have with IPSEC today.

comet48 · Sat Aug 22, 2020 6:10 pm

i absolutely disagree with you @pe1chl
https://www.wireguard.com/#conceptual-overview
“ WireGuard securely encapsulates IP packets over UDP. You add a WireGuard interface, configure it with your private key and your peers' public keys, and then you send packets across it. All issues of key distribution and pushed configurations are out of scope of WireGuard; these are issues much better left for other layers, lest we end up with the bloat of IKE or OpenVPN. In contrast, it more mimics the model of SSH and Mosh; both parties have each other's public keys, and then they're simply able to begin exchanging packets through the interface.”

L3-offloading is a broad topic ... the prestera-chip also supports "NVGRE, VXLAN-GPE, GENEVE, SPB, and 802.1BR port extender"

Both Sierra MC7430 and Quectel EC25 work in MBIM mode in ROS7. Big difference with 6.47.x, as the MC7430 was only supported in PPP mode and the EC25 was supported in PPP and ECM modes. I do notice the amount of information the cards report is different. The MC7430 only reports RSSI, whereas the Quectel cards report RSSI, RSRP, SINR and RSRQ.

Edit: I noticed the APN doesn't get set up properly on EC25. I can make it work with AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn-name". This was not needed in 6.47.

I have the same issue, I think firewall rules are not setup correctly (although I accept traffic on the listening port and forward to/from the interface), it doesn't seem to flow. The tunnel sets up correctly and the client routes to the WG server, but I can't figure out how to correctly set it up so that traffic is routed back correctly. Does anyone have a complete example including firewall rules where how to connect a roaming client to the WG server such that all (internet) traffic is routed through the MikroTik WG system?

When you restrict yourself to site-to-site tunnels between equipment running the same software, IPsec is not complicated either. E.g. a GRE/IPsec tunnel using pre-shared keys between two MikroTik routers can be configured with a couple of mouseclicks.
It becomes more complicated when you want more advanced functionality, like auto-config road warrior clients, certificates, etc. Simply declaring that "out of scope" is like burying your head in the sand; that is not going to be sustainable. Like with OpenVPN, the demand for those features will sooner or later lead to additions to wireguard, and by then it (including its new layer of additions) will be as "complicated" as OpenVPN.
Sure, IPsec can be frustrating. But only when dealing with unknown and uncontrollable peers that inconsistently publish their config. Between routers of the same manufacturer that you both control, it isn't a problem.
And with wireguard that is (for now) essentially what you have: the same software at either end.
Once the protocol develops and diverts between implementations, that will no longer be the case.

So.. little broblem.
I've upgraded from 6.46.6 to 7.1beta2 directly (I know, bad) ...and this happend with my static routes. I made an export before and after the upgrade to see what changed.
I get the missing gateway, but the IP in pref-src? (and only there?) why?
before:

/ip route
add distance=1 dst-address=172.28.248.0/24 gateway=ipip-tunnel-z3 pref-src=\
    192.168.69.1
add distance=1 dst-address=192.168.134.0/24 gateway=ipip-tunnel-z3 pref-src=\
    192.168.69.1
add distance=1 dst-address=192.168.135.0/24 gateway=ipip-tunnel-z3 pref-src=\
    192.168.69.1
add distance=1 dst-address=192.168.136.0/24 gateway=ipip-tunnel-z3 pref-src=\
    192.168.69.1
add distance=1 dst-address=192.168.248.0/24 gateway=ipip-tunnel-z3 pref-src=\
    192.168.69.1

after:

/ip route
add dst-address=172.28.248.0/24 gateway="" pref-src=1.69.168.192
add dst-address=192.168.134.0/24 gateway="" pref-src=1.69.168.192
add dst-address=192.168.135.0/24 gateway="" pref-src=1.69.168.192
add dst-address=192.168.136.0/24 gateway="" pref-src=1.69.168.192
add dst-address=192.168.248.0/24 gateway="" pref-src=1.69.168.192

LE: I do have to read and understand the routing changes from the manual for v7.
For now I can't seem to get the IPIP tunnel to work properly over IKEv2. The other end (running 6.46.6) shows the tunnel coming up and running but nothing on the v7.1b2, and I can't send anything over it.

There is a difference between hashing (as SHA1) and encryption (as AES...) and just because someone is able to generate 2 different PDF files that produce same SHA1 hash does not mean he could reversely generate private keys used in VPN ...

Upgraded my RB3011 this morning to 7.1beta 2.

I reset the router before upgrading and only configured it with a WAN connection to upgrade to Beta2.

Upgrade seemed to go okay so I set about configuring it correctly.

First issue was renaming an interface (ether1 renamed to WAN) would result in a reboot as soon as I clicked OK or Apply.

Second issue was a deal breaker and that was all 10 interfaces were limited to 10Mb only. I tried manually setting them to 1Gb full duplex but to no avail.

I reverted back to 6.47.2 so unfortunately I can't generate a supout but just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar? Surely there are other RB3011 users out there that have upgraded?

Minor issue with Wireguard
Mostly seems great, quite impressed with it, I have not used wireguard before.

If I don't set the peer address, so any address can connect, when a peer does connect to it
it seems to set the peer address/port itself in its config :(

I would also like DNS connect

This is by design. Peers are identified by their public key, changing the endpoint automatically makes it roam seamlessly.
If the peer changes its address the configuration should update again.

Does anyone have some issues with wifi? On my hap ac^2 from time to time wifi clients can't get ip addresses from dhcp. I have tried to reset wifi settings to default, reset router itself, configure wifi via quick setup web page. Nothing works for me. I have downgraded routeros back to the stable version and everything works just fine again. Only strange thing in logs that I saw was something like "disconnected, group exchange timeout".

What I tried to find out if the ROS 7 betas can run on anything else than ARM based devices? For example can it work on the CCRs?

Maybe a bit of clarification on the supported hardware would be nice as I cant find anything about that except for a single entry by Normis from 2019 (only ARM for now).

Looks like only one wireguard interface is working at a time, whatever is started first. Only the first shows as "running".

Does anyone have more than one simultaneous wireguard interface working?

I am not running the MikroTik implementation so I have no idea if in its current state of RouterOS 7.1beta2 how may peers can be run .... and yes under ubnt EdgeRouter I have multiple Peers running in client sites.

Following link shows how it should be done ... hope this helps you ... assuming the TiK way does not imped.

I have one little test, with 3 CHRs. I named them after their IP, so we have 115, 116 and 118 machines.

I inserted static routes, sou The left machine should be able to ping the right machine - passing through the center one. Pay attention to the IP addresses on the Wireguard config - You will have to adjust them to your network.

This is NOT a production example. It is just the absolute minimum, in order to test two wireguard interfaces on a single machine. I didn't even set a password to the admin user.

Thanks both for your input. I have found the problem: using WebFig the listen-port always defaults to 12321. Although I was not using the port, it would conflict with the other interface. Setting one of the listen-port to something else worked fine.

Interestingly using the terminal, the listen-port seems to be randomly generated, thereby not having this issue. But I wonder if this seemingly random port could have it's own problems. With Wireguard is it possible to disable listening altogether? Maybe this would be the best default.

I'm having similar problems on my rb4011igs+5hacq2hnd-in. Also did a reset to defaults with minor adjustments (ssid, wpa2 psk etc).
Clients appear to lose DHCP lease, then disconnect completely. Phones (iphones) appears to to experience the problem the most often

Clearing and netinstalling the latest testing 6.48beta27 issues go away, no dhcp loss/disconnections on wifi

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Anyway, I managed to get it to work, this should help those who want to connect to vpn providers that provide wireguard support, eg. I think nordvpn does.

Once you have such a configuration file for the wireguard client in windows, mac, do this, using winbox

1. Go to the wireguard menu, add a new interface

2. Leave the default setting, just add the private key from the interface section of the wireguard config file, in this example, 123456=, click apply

3. Go to the peer tab, add a new peer, use the public key from the peer section of the wireguard config file, in this example,456789=,
Since I want to route all traffic from specific clients to through this interface, put 0.0.0.0/0 in allowed ips

4. Use nslookup, resolve the endpoint, in this case, aaa.bbb.com to its ip address. Put that ip address in the end point.

5. Use the terminal go to /interface/wireguard/peers. if there is only 1 peer, run this, set 0 endpoint=[ip address]:2255

6. Go to IP addresses, set the ip address for the wireguard interface, in this case, 172.16.0.2/32

7. Go to IP firewall NAT, add a masquerade rule, chain srcnat, outgoing interface -> your wireguard interface, action=masquerade

8. Run this command in the terminal, /routing table add name=VPNProvider fib

9. Go to IP firewall mangle, add a mangle rule, use source address for the client whose traffic you want to route through the vpn interface, or use source address list for several clients.
Chain=prerouting, Action=mark routing, new routing mark, choose VPNProvider from the combo box. (This was the tricky part, you cant just type in VPNProvider like in ROS 6, you have to add it to the routing table first, the only can you choose it as a new routing mark)

10. Finally add a new route in the terminal, like this, /ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=[your wireguard interface]@main routing-table=VPNProvider

That's it, your specified clients should now be routed through your vpn connection

Yes, I noticed that too. I can max out my 500/100 internet connection with ROS 6.47.2, fasttrack enabled, but with ROS 7.1b2, I'm getting only about 100+/100, even with fasttrack enabled (using a mikrotik hex).

I guess it's still in beta and will probably get better later.

sindy · Wed Sep 02, 2020 4:28 pm

You need to turn it off in the DHCP client!

For some modem types, the DHCP client is dynamically created and cannot be modified (nor prevented from being dynamically generated and created manually), so this advice is not applicable. For the dynamically created DHCP client, the setting in question (plus other ones) is (in theory) inherited from the apn profile.

For yet other modems (R11e-LTE6), there is no DHCP client at all, and nevertheless the IP address is assigned and the default route and other settings from apn profile are used (also in "direct IP" mode, i.e. not PPP/serial).

Ok, but it can be clearly seen above that "Use peer DNS" is OFF in the LTE profile and it is ON in the DHCP client. So that is a bug?

Hi all,
I just installed v7.1beta2 on the CCR2004 I have here in tests. I was looking for better support of 1Gbps+ SFPs interfaces inserted in SFP+ ports, and I found a bug.

*********************************************
Presentation of reproduction conditions
*********************************************

A brand New CCR2004, with an Optical GPON ONU SFP recognized as brand "ODI"
The ONU is fully functionnal under v6.47.2, seems to let change the AUto Negotiation Speed to more than 1000M Full, but allways limited to 1000M.
According to https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32230 ... 57810S-NIC SGMII linux patches can let SFP sticks run at more that 1000M, so I give a try to v7.1beta2.
I upgraded the fimrware, go to the sfp-sfpplus interface, doble clic, and yes, it's still recognized, but this time eligible speeds are not pre checked. So I check 2.5G Full, and instant reboot.
No way to change the neciable speed. Everytime I try to change it, it reboots. Unfortunately, It seems limited to 1000M.

Capture1.PNG

I give a try with another stick of this kind, and I come back. I do have several sticks of this kind.

When I do exactly the same procedure with another SFP ONU Stick (CarllitoxxPro), it reboots.

It's exactly the same reboot changing the negociated speed of a S+RJ10 Mikrotik Interface

This bug, about SFP speed negociation, seems generic, including with Mikrotik Interfaces.

I can make you more explicit capture CLI, most of all for the first ONU stick of course, If you can let it run 2.5Gbps patching this bug, I would be gracefull.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me by email.

Yes it requires a license. You can get a trial as usual.

And actually, when upgrading from v6 the old license is now invalid. So the license must be transferred to the new v7 install, making it not easy to go back to v6.

Have you tried changing the speed/duplex etc via the CLI instead of via the web ui?

I had a similar issue forcing a 10gbit interface to be 1gbit on a CRS 317 running 7.1beta2. Via winbox would cause the router to crash, via CLI worked fine.

Nevertheless, I can't find any example of routeros setup with one of the peers is with endpoint (e.g. "client") and other is without ("server"). May be I'm on wrong path...

No, only one endpoint (at a time). The other side has to initiate the handshake.

But Wireguard does not follow a classic client and server model. It has just peers, so both sides can initiate the handshake.

I don't have a single Wireguard interface with one peer as server and one as client. But I do have two Wireguard interfaces, where one is a server (listening) and has two peers. On these, the peer endpoints update automatically as already mentioned. My other Wireguard interface is a client with one peer. The CLI is needed to set the endpoint port for this one.

As I found the hard way the Wireguard interface listens regardless if you want it to or not. I expect that you should have no problem having one Wireguard interface like you want.

In my case, even with user-peer-dns off both in lte1 and the dynamic dhcp-client, ip dns is showing it in the "dynamic-servers" and there is no way to get rid of them once installed, no matter what I do.

I'm using a USB cable with an android phone in "USB tethering" mode with a hAP ac^2. Other than this it works like a charm. The /ip/dns/dynamic-servers remain set when I unplug the cable and lte1 disapperars and remains visible only as something like *00008 in some places.

Nice version, but on CRS326-24S+2Q something goes wrong: Kernel panic on much of reasons.
1. Connected to HP virtual connect via SFP+ - kernel panic
2. Connected to Procurve switch and assigned vlan to port via Copper SFP- kernel panic
3. Connected to cisco n3k-c3064pq kernel panic

And this panic is so deep that console is unreachable after reboot. Only reset to factory defaults helps to move it out.

Ofc you'd say that, you're in the same business model. I also hope he gets as many clients as he deserves.
"excellent" and "in depth" tutorials should be written on the forum if the intention was to share some knowledge with the users, not on some personal website for personal gain *cough* and drop the link randomly on the forum so that his website would get hits from the curious users. Luckily those two tutorials by him fits neither.
Writing a tutorial on the forum also allows you to get some feedback on your solution from other experienced users and maybe ways to improve your tutorial/solution (see the VLAN articles by pcunite for example).
As a bonus the forum provides support for proper CODE blocks that the users are used to.
As I've said, dropping links to your personal website on this forum and reddit screams only one thing and nothing good about it.

I have an issue here with the 7.1 beta 2 on 3 hAp ac^2 devices. Had te return to the stable branch for wireless to become stable again.
On all devices i had serious stability issues.

He told that the same I am seeing: devices get stuck but otherwise connected on both interfaces.
Some time after last disable/enable cycle or reboot, any of the devices stop flowing through the wireless connection. If they are "clever" they migrate to the other, say wlan2. I often find after a few hours that all devices except one are in, say wlan1 and only one is in registration table at wlan2, but not working. disable/enable makes it work again, until it failed
It was not happening in 7.1beta1, it takes a few hours to happen, seems to be related with noise and distance, as it got better to me by:
* increasing the antenna gain in both interfaces (which also made for better signal overall and less warm router, BTW).
* changing a few other wireless settings.
Currently I have:

/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] authentication-types=wpa2-psk group-key-update=1h mode=dynamic-keys supplicant-identity=MikroTik
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] adaptive-noise-immunity=ap-and-client-mode antenna-gain=4 band=2ghz-onlyn channel-width=\
    20/40mhz-Ce country=spain disabled=no frequency=auto installation=indoor mode=ap-bridge ssid=MT \
    wireless-protocol=802.11 wmm-support=enabled
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] adaptive-noise-immunity=ap-and-client-mode antenna-gain=5 band=5ghz-onlyac basic-rates-a/g=12Mbps \
    channel-width=20/40/80mhz-XXXX country=spain disabled=no frequency=auto installation=indoor mode=ap-bridge rate-set=configured \
    ssid=MT vht-supported-mcs=mcs0-9,mcs0-9,none wireless-protocol=802.11 wmm-support=enabled

and it happens less than with the default settings. Failing devices are mostly android, but also a windows and a linux laptop occassionally. I have set wireless debug in one of the phones and saw a message like NETWORK_UNAVAILABLE DHCP NOT RESPONDING=1 (I'm inventing the message but it was the idea). The router thought that the phone was happily connected, BTW, but it disappeared from registration table when I switched wifi off / on in the phone, only to return to the same when I forced to reconnect. After disable/enable of the wlanN interface everything works again... for a few hours.

I know and i'm sorry for that but i had to revert to a stable situation because of work i had to do. But still i thought it might be usefull to report.

Clients disconnected frequently and could often not get an ip address.
Sometimes wifi totally stopt functioning until turned of and on again on the hAp ac^2.

Leaving CPU Frequency to auto, I can see the frequency going up to 896MHz on high load. Ain't this dangerous?
Shouldn't we have an option to set max freq to the default frequency of the CPU? and not overclock it? As overclocking it can lead to .. well, problems?

2. After (or since) the upgrade, it is not possible to configure an interface as gateway under IP --> Routes. The only possibility is to set an IP as gateway.

You can write the interface name manually and it will work even if there's no list from which you could easily select it.
On another note, I can't figure out how to setup load balancing using ECMP. More exactly how to adapt this old tutorial for v7: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/ECMP_loa ... masquerade

have RBG450GX4 with latest stable version. am trying to apply 7.1 beta 2. no matter what approach i take(use webfig/winbox->quickset/winbox->system->packages for upgrade,dropping npk file), i get the 'not enough space for upgrade' in the log after reboot.
here is log line 1 and 2 after reboot:
system,info 'installed system-7.1beta2'
system,error 'not enough space for upgrade'

mine is a plain vanilla install for home use with no additional configurations/packages/customizations.
please let me know

Thanks! Is this just a bug in the beta that the drop down list is not visible?

After the upgrade the routes that had interfaces as gateway were all in red, and the interfaces were gone.

. Failing devices are mostly android, but also a windows and a linux laptop occasionally. I have set wireless debug in one of the phones and saw a message like NETWORK_UNAVAILABLE DHCP NOT RESPONDING=1 (I'm inventing the message but it was the idea).

I saw it again. The message was "NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_DHCP_FAILURE=2 " (It was 1 last time I saw it. It recovers with disable/enable in wlan2 , disable/enable wlan1 in the router.

I'm not sure if the problem is due to connection o some other corruption: the wireless logs indicate good association followed by "sending station leaving (3)" about 8 seconds later, as if the station couldn't get dhcp going... but the router does not see any dhcp packet.

Wireguard does not connect from Mikrotik behind NAT to a Linux server with a white IP.

sindy · Tue Sep 08, 2020 3:25 pm

What is a "white IP"?

"White IP" is used in the post-soviet area instead of "public IP". "Grey" means "private". No idea what's the origin of this.

casus · Tue Sep 08, 2020 3:30 pm

What is a "white IP"?

Without using NAT. Without port forwarding, the interface address is not in the private or gray IP range.
Linux - conditionally server, Mikrotik - peer.

But Wireguard with Mikrotik behind NAT is not a problem for me.

Upgraded my RB3011 this morning to 7.1beta 2.

I reset the router before upgrading and only configured it with a WAN connection to upgrade to Beta2.

Upgrade seemed to go okay so I set about configuring it correctly.

First issue was renaming an interface (ether1 renamed to WAN) would result in a reboot as soon as I clicked OK or Apply.

Second issue was a deal breaker and that was all 10 interfaces were limited to 10Mb only. I tried manually setting them to 1Gb full duplex but to no avail.

I reverted back to 6.47.2 so unfortunately I can't generate a supout but just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar? Surely there are other RB3011 users out there that have upgraded?

I have a similar issue like this on my RB750Gr3.

Upgraded to 7.2beta2 from 6.47 without resetting the router before the upgrade. It was then in a reboot loop until I reset it.

Afterwards, all 5 ports would connect at 1Gbps however, after a while, my WAN port ether1 would be stuck on 10Mbps sync, no matter what I do, different cables, different devices, it was stuck.
So moved the WAN port to ether5 and after a week same thing, except now I have both ether1 and ether5 stuck on 10Mbps sync.
I have moved the WAN to ether2 now, but if this keeps on happening, I will have to look at downgrading too :(

Really liked using wireguard, but 1Gbps ports are more important.

edit:
Actually I see this:

[admin@MikroTik] >> /interface/ethernet/export

/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] advertise=10M-half,10M-full
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] advertise=10M-half,10M-full

Trying unset doesnt work:

/interface ethernet unset [ find default-name=ether1 ] value-name=advertise

What is the correct way to unset this advertise command ?

set [ find default-name=ether1 ] advertise=10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full,1000M-half,1000M-full

Before issuing the command above, use /interface ethernet export verbose - it will show you that the value of the advertise parameter is set to this list for ether2-ether4; it's just that without the verbose modifier, the export does not show parameters with default values.

Wireguard does not connect from Mikrotik behind NAT to a Linux server with a white IP.

I've tried to connect like this to a dozen of a servers and everything worked well enough for me.

I've been wondering is it possible to generate keys on mikrotik for wireguard peers?

I would like to install v7.1beta2 on a RB4011 but it complains that it is missing multicast-7.1beta2-arm.npk
At the moment i'm running 6.48beta35 with the multicast package as extra package.
How do i upgrade without loosing the multicast functionality ( i use it for igmp-proxy ) ?

I got an answer from mikrotik: There is no multicast package, it is now part of system package, however IGMP-Proxy is not available in ROSv7 at the moment.

The Packet Sniffer on Mikrotik itself does not see any attempts to communicate with the server at all, filters by IP or port do not catch any packets in the direction of the server when the Wireguard interface is turned on and off.
Settings are made after Hard Reset, minimal - external interface and wireguard (+ manual IP for Wireguard interface).

rplant · Fri Sep 11, 2020 2:45 am

You can make a second wireguard interface, and copy the private and public key out of it.
Then delete it.

Wireguard implementation seems to have gone pretty smoothly.

I don't suppose a backport to V6 is possible :)

rplant · Fri Sep 11, 2020 9:01 am

One issue with wireguard.

Sometimes It doesn't seem to keep its connection mark on output
The input to wg is coming in with a connection mark, but the output sometimes has
no connection mark.

Actually, on further review, its only when the output needs to go via a non default route.
(route marking needed), and also happens with Openvpn (and perhaps others)
sstp (tcp) using the same connection and route marking works correctly.

Ive asked in the forums before updating to V7. One of the supports said it wont harm your device. I did it and it bricked my device. Thanks and sadly i will need to buy another retarded mikrotik device because its my only option. Plus LDF-5 doesnt work in net install mode my computer doesnt recognize it. Sad...

pe1chl · Fri Sep 11, 2020 11:05 pm

Users claiming netinstall doesn't work normally have made a mistake. It is not wise to try netinstall first on a device that already is in trouble, as when you tried it on a working device you would have found it is usually finicky.
You have to get the feel of it, and of course you have to have all the necessary preconditions present.
When you do it all correctly, it will also work on your dead LDF 5.

Follow the manual until you arrive to configure netbooting. Then ignore what the image days (192.168.88.3) and set instead 192.168.88.1.

Then it will work.

I have an issue here with the 7.1 beta 2 on 3 hAp ac^2 devices. Had te return to the stable branch for wireless to become stable again.
On all devices i had serious stability issues.
He told that the same I am seeing: devices get stuck but otherwise connected on both interfaces.
Some time after last disable/enable cycle or reboot, any of the devices stop flowing through the wireless connection. If they are "clever" they migrate to the other, say wlan2. I often find after a few hours that all devices except one are in, say wlan1 and only one is in registration table at wlan2, but not working. disable/enable makes it work again, until it failed
It was not happening in 7.1beta1, it takes a few hours to happen, seems to be related with noise and distance, as it got better to me by:
* increasing the antenna gain in both interfaces (which also made for better signal overall and less warm router, BTW).
* changing a few other wireless settings.
Currently I have:
Code: Select all
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] authentication-types=wpa2-psk group-key-update=1h mode=dynamic-keys supplicant-identity=MikroTik
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] adaptive-noise-immunity=ap-and-client-mode antenna-gain=4 band=2ghz-onlyn channel-width=\
    20/40mhz-Ce country=spain disabled=no frequency=auto installation=indoor mode=ap-bridge ssid=MT \
    wireless-protocol=802.11 wmm-support=enabled
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] adaptive-noise-immunity=ap-and-client-mode antenna-gain=5 band=5ghz-onlyac basic-rates-a/g=12Mbps \
    channel-width=20/40/80mhz-XXXX country=spain disabled=no frequency=auto installation=indoor mode=ap-bridge rate-set=configured \
    ssid=MT vht-supported-mcs=mcs0-9,mcs0-9,none wireless-protocol=802.11 wmm-support=enabled
and it happens less than with the default settings. Failing devices are mostly android, but also a windows and a linux laptop occassionally. I have set wireless debug in one of the phones and saw a message like NETWORK_UNAVAILABLE DHCP NOT RESPONDING=1 (I'm inventing the message but it was the idea). The router thought that the phone was happily connected, BTW, but it disappeared from registration table when I switched wifi off / on in the phone, only to return to the same when I forced to reconnect. After disable/enable of the wlanN interface everything works again... for a few hours.

Can confirm the DHCP issue on RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN, though I've only had it happen with one laptop (AC 9560, Arch Linux: linux 5.8.7.arch1-1 networkmanager 1.26.2-1). I was initially reluctant to blame RouterOS since I do tinker with a lot of experimental stuff (and the network card allegedly sometimes has issues with BT, got a new BT mouse recently, etc.), and all other devices seemed to operate normally, but after finally spending a few hours troubleshooting this I have to assume it's the router. RouterOS log only shows the client connecting and disconnecting. Linux/networkmanager log shows a DHCP timeout, which will (by default) make it disconnect after 45s and try reconnecting again. I noticed a DHCP lease does exist for the MAC address.

It isn't very consistent though, 7.1b2 worked normally at first, then the issue would occasionally kill the connection, but would be successfully reestablished after a few reconnects. It gets worse over time, from 1-2 times per day to every few minutes, until DHCP would fail every single time (no clear indication why). All other devices I checked worked normally at the time. Router restart fixes the issue temporarily.
Everything worked fine with 7.0 (I think b5, pretty sure I didn't test out 7.0b7 onwards with the new kernel).

Hello guys,

Could you please tell me, how can I set gateway value to the specific interface for incoming BGP filter?

/routing/filter/rule/add action=accept chain=bgp_in set-in-nexthop-direct=gateway1

doesn't seem to work. Perhaps set-in-nexthop-direct isn't implemented yet in ROS 7?

Is there any workaround for this?

They posted a print with one hAP AC2 doing 700 Mbps. Given the CPU used by the RB4011, with also 4 cores and much higher processing power, I'd say yes.

Thats a dream coming true. Getting away from the monster high frequency Intel Xeon (running openvpn at 700Mbps and now wireguard at 1Gbps, which is no problem) down to a single small router with poe and 1 gbps of protected internet....Just move all servers over to a tiny intel nuc to, if one can do with mikrotik I will not even need dual NIC or 2,5gbps to do full duplex firewalling at 1gbps. This is awesome!

I just setup Wireguard on my hAP AC² to replace the IPSEC tunnel I had before and am seeing around ~ 230 Mbit/s with max overclocked CPU on it. Would be nice to squeeze out a little bit more. Here is the CPU load while it's running and I have fasttrack disabled.

Thanks to Mikrotik for Wireguard in the first place it's an amazing addition.

I can also confirm that 2,4 GHZ Wifi is broken and client's don't get dhcp on that one, 5 GHZ seems to work fine.

For me it works... until it stops working. Then I do

ant it works again... until it stops working again, in a few hours.
