Just installed on CCR2116-12G-4S+, one border eBGP machine on production, still work all as expected.
(I know the risk, it's in a HA situation with another CCR1036-12G-4S with RouterOS 6.48.6)

No issues updating using Check for Updates on Winbox on CR326-24G-2S+, and 3 hAP ac2.

I hope not... upgrade a critical PPPoE server with just published software.............
Is not like a switch or a router, you take down all network for xxx customers without be sure than come up again............

Popping some popcorn for the big show. Extra butter!

DanielTheFox · Thu Jan 12, 2023 4:50 pm

haha, i might just try it (i have a second partition with v6.48.6 specifically for jumping back if something funny happens) but first I'm going to camp this post to see if there's a serious issue with TILE or anything shared with my router (a CCR1009-7G-1C-PC)

(extra edit to avoid making a new post)
Also since electricity here is horrible and has a lot of spikes, we always blame electricity if a customer router hangs or becomes unresponsive (most of the time it's actually the cause, but that gives us more wiggle room for upgrade issues and stuff like that.

*) l2tp - added VRF support for L2TP Ether interfaces;

only issue Ive found is the system->packages "check for update" only works via WinBox. The GUI doesnt show the latest firmware or any changes when clicking "check for updates"

Babujnik · Thu Jan 12, 2023 5:48 pm

ok.. so how do You import ED25519 SSH keys ?

public keys generated with "ssh-keygen -t ed25519" seems not to import on RoS:

[user@tik] /user/ssh-keys> import public-key-file=id_ed25519.pub user=user
unable to load key file (wrong format or bad passphrase)!

eworm · Thu Jan 12, 2023 5:55 pm

You can not. This is about ed25519 key exchange. Let's hope host keys and public key authentication will follow...

Sorry! My bad not look at the help docs...

The idea of using the @vrf is great!
After seeing that, I trying to guess why not using the same syntax/method with VXLAN, but putting it on VTEP remote-ip attribute.

Could that be considered as a suggestion?

It seems you are right, that the problem is not related to 7.7 upgrade, thanks! I rebooted without trying to update and the same kernel error—some bug of 7.6, unfortunately: it restores all my Firewall Address List after reboot, which I deleted before, all thousands entries. Oh well, gotta deal with it now...

UPD: it's a nasty bug when too long firewall address list eats all HDD space (free space become 0%) and then you cannot backup/restore. So I did Netinstall, restored from backup and after upgraded to 7.7, and everything went smooth then.

I didn't have time to test rc4, but it looks like the ability to blacklist ipv6 entries has been restored--thank you! It would appear that the 2nd of the above changes counters the 1st; perhaps they should have been omitted from the change log?

Updated home/office CCR2116 from 7.6 to 7.7. BGP back to main network, Containers, L3HW NAT/FW offloading are all working so far.

Also just got a shiny new hAP AX3 for the lab and upgraded it to 7.7. 2.5Gbps to CRS312 for uplink. Getting just over 100Mbps on 20MHz channel on 2.4GHz, and 800Mbps on 80MHz channel on 5GHz to my iPhone 11.

Setting fixed line rates (auto negotiation disabled) on SFP-RJ45 module to 100mbps not working anymore after 7.7 update on CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS. Always falls back to 1gbps which makes the line unusable when using older devices (like HP ILO).

jvanhambelgium · Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:14 am

Updated RB5009 with SFP module "S+RJ10" but see in Winbox some "flipping" behaviour, switching between 1G & 10G but the connection (on top of this interface my PPPoE runs) is just fine, 0 errors, maximum performance.
So at this point I'm not sure if this a "Winbox" cosmetic thing because otherwise I would have really glitches on the connection.

Screenshot from 2023-01-12 23-11-30.png

Screenshot from 2023-01-12 23-11-25.png

So these screens are switching between, as is the auto-negotiation is not "stable" but the link is fine.
Same with the screen below, the field like Temp & Supply-Voltage & "Copper Lenght" are flipping visible/not visible

Now that this is stable, I'm experimenting for the first time with the new wifiwave2 capsman support. I can't find the local-forwarding setting for wifiwave2, and the "bridge" setting in the CAP configuration seems to be missing. I've added the interfaces manually as bridge ports on the CAP and so this seems to be working, but is there a different way of doing this?

I've added the interfaces manually as bridge ports on the CAP and so this seems to be working, but is there a different way of doing this?

Local forwarding is the only type of forwarding available for wifiwave2 capsman currently, so there is no setting to switch between local and capsman forwarding.
Adding an interface to a bridge on the cap can be done by

#all commands executed on cap
/interface/wifiwave2/datapath 
add name=datapath-br bridge=bridge0
/interface/wifiwave2
set [find where !dynamic] datapath=datapath-br
#for dynamic interfaces
/interface/wifiwave2/cap
set slaves-datapath=datapath-br

Is it possible to connect from ax3 device back to ros6 for capsman config ? I don't see where you specify the capsman address or the discovery interface in the CLI - thank you.

Devices running the wifiwave2 package (like the hAP ax^3), can only be managed by capsman from other devices running with wifiwave2 package. So a ROSv6 CAPsMAN from the bundled wireless package cannot manage a hAP ax^3.
CAPsMAN address in wifiwave2 settings can be set with `/interface/wifiwave2/cap set caps-man-address=`

Thank you for the explanation! That makes sense now.

I'd like to report some behaviour that I have noticed while updating couple of devices, a CHR and RB4011.
On both I'm running VXLAN where I have attached PPPoE interface.
Initially after upgrading CHR first, VXLAN didn't work properly with RB4011, so PPPoE server was not reached.
After updating also RB4011 to v7.7, then VXLAN started to work again and now PPPoE connection is working again.
So not really sure whether there was any incompatibility for VXLAN between Ros 7.6 and 7.7, so I'm just reporting this here.

mducharme · Fri Jan 13, 2023 9:29 am

I have an audience as a wave2 cap. When I reboot it, the two CAP interfaces do not start getting managed by capsman properly until I disable them and re-enable them, and after that they work fine. It seems to be a bug.

Fri Jan 13, 2023 9:52 am

I'm unable to reproduce the issue going just by the description.
Please open a support ticket and include supouts from both capsman and the affected cap.

Devices running the wifiwave2 package (like the hAP ax^3), can only be managed by capsman from other devices running with wifiwave2 package. So a ROSv6 CAPsMAN from the bundled wireless package cannot manage a hAP ax^3.
CAPsMAN address in wifiwave2 settings can be set with `/interface/wifiwave2/cap set caps-man-address=`

So does that mean if you had a RB3011-RM Running RouterOS 7 without any WiFi interfaces then you cant manage a hAP ax^3 or does it mean you need to install the wifiwave2 package on the RB3011-RM to manage such a device?

Kind Regards,
Jim

Fri Jan 13, 2023 11:58 am

If the wifi2 package is available for that device, that's the way to go.

Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:09 pm

You need to install the wifiwave2 package on the RB3011, yes.

jimmer · Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:13 pm

If the wifi2 package is available for that device, that's the way to go.

Yeah, it uses the ARM packages so same as the hapAC2 and I am guessing the hAPax2 and hAPax3

Flash is OK and it has a gig of RAM so that wont be a prob.

Will just mean I wouldnt be able to use a smaller device for CAPsMAN for the hAPax series such as the RB750Gr3 even though it has the RAM it doesnt have the flash for the wave2 package.

Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:46 pm

Hex should be sufficient to be used.
Ofcourse you need to see if enough flash space is available.

Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:46 pm

The storage requirement for architectures that do not require local wifi interface drivers and firmware files is significantly lower.
The mmips package for the RB750Gr3 is 200kB.

I just tried setting up VLANs with the wifiwave2 CAPsMAN like how I would with the older CAPsMAN (putting the VLAN ID into the datapath settings on the CAPsMAN unit) and I get this error for the interfaces for remote CAPs:

"interface does not support assigning vlans"

Does wave2 capsman not currently support VLAN tagging for slave interfaces on remote CAP devices?

Fri Jan 13, 2023 1:34 pm

Only 802.11ax wifiwave2 interfaces support vlan tagging by the wireless interface.
I suppose the changelog entry regarding this could have been clearer.
All VLAN tagging in wifiwave2 is 'per-user' VLAN tagging. Setting datapath.vlan-id, you set the default VLAN id for users connecting on that interface. The default can be overriden by the access list.

mducharme · Fri Jan 13, 2023 1:39 pm

Is there any way around this for non-ax interfaces with wave2, where you want different SSIDs on different VLANs?

A workaround for non-ax interfaces would be to have static interface configurations and manually add wifi interfaces as bridge ports with the desired pvid like in this example https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... ccessPorts

jplitza · Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:17 pm

We are having issues with wireless mode=station-pseudobridge-clone and ARP replies. With 7.6, the Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD would reply to ARP requests for its own IP address with the cloned MAC address. Now it doesn't always do that, leading to very intermittent connectivity.

Luckily only an unimportant device. We worked around it by adding a static ARP entry to the router.

Hey guys,
Updating to 7.7 from 7.6 (x86) has corrupted my container or to be more specific, I think it has corrupted a file inside the workdir.(/usr/local/bin)
Downgrading to 7.6 didn't help but Reinstalling the container fixed the problem.
This was the docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/enwaiax/x-ui
And I got this error after upgrading: open bin/config.json: permission denied

Spidermila · Fri Jan 13, 2023 5:25 pm

I have experienced several messages like "private-dhcp offering lease 192.168.111.50 for 94:EA:32:35:52:98 without success" after upgrading to 7.7. The result was that the clients were unable to access the network nor Internet. Clients are mostly connected via CAP managed APs.
This happened for different clients with different OSes (e.g. Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 and iPhone SE 2020).
I have two bridges, each with a different dhcp server on my RB3011UiAS. Only one of the dhcp servers behaved like that. There were no other messages indicating what the problem could be. The configuration looked fine, just like before the upgrade.
I have downgraded to 7.6 but the problem persisted. Only after restore of configuration from before the upgrade to 7.7, the problem is gone.
This is only a heads up. If someone else gets into trouble with DHCP server, I hope you will have possibility to investigate deeper. I wasn't that lucky. I needed to get rid of the issue ASAP.

There's a bug in the DNS static vs caching implementation here. A/AAAA/SOA records can not coexist with CNAME records. If one of them is static, the other set needs to be filtered from the upstream.

Edit: it appears that CNAMEs in general can't coexist with all other record types, so if something other than a CNAME is static, any upstream CNAME needs to be filtered out, and vice versa.

ros 7.7 on ccr2116, rb2004... still don't establish stable 10g ethernet links when connected via DAC breakout cables to devices like cisco nexus, arista, juniper.

on the switch the links are flapping infinite after reboot of the mikrotik device or re-connect of the link. this happesn randomly and affects more than 50 percent of all links connected with 10g breakouts (we tested qsfp/sfp+ breakouts from cisco, gtek, fs and mikrotik - all the same result).

it worked without problems till ros 7.2.3. since 7.3 it's broken with above described non-production ready / non-stable result.

reported to support and updated under #[SUP-95119].

just be aware, in case you want to connect the high-end devices via breakouts.

I think this change

*) dns - query upstream DNS servers for other record types even if static entry exists;

creates some big problem for me.

For my local network I have some static A entries in my MT router for local services.
They don't have any static AAAA records as I don't want to use IPv6 for those services.
With 7.6 everything is fine.
After updating to 7.7 resolving the static A entries from within docker containers completely seems to be broken (e.g., ping gives just a bad address error).
Reverting back to 7.6 without changing anything else fixes lookup in the containers.

For 7.6 I got a valid (NOERROR) but empty response trying to resolve an AAAA record for a static A entry:

root@james:~# host -t AAAA -v mqtt.xxx.home 192.168.0.254
Trying "mqtt.xxx.home"
Using domain server:
Name: 192.168.0.254
Address: 192.168.0.254#53
Aliases: 

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 48407
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 13

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mqtt.xxx.home.		IN	AAAA

This correctly indicates that there is no IPv6 address to best of my knowledge.

With 7.7 I get a NXDOMAIN error (which is of course valid from an upstream server point of view as upstream server doesn't know anything about my local entries):

root@james:~# host -t AAAA -v test.xxx.home 192.168.0.253
Trying "test.xxx.home"
Using domain server:
Name: 192.168.0.253
Address: 192.168.0.253#53
Aliases: 

Host test.xxx.home not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I guess this NXDOMAIN at least confuses name resolution within my docker containers (docker DNS proxy?).
It seems to be no generic problem in host linux (I can ping a static entry from host but not from within container, ping by IP is fine in container).

Any ideas or any possibility to create an "empty" static AAAA entry?

I dont't really want to create real AAAA entries as I had some problems with docker and IPv6 in the past.

Thanks!

NPTv6 unfortunately is also buggy. In my experiments it is matching the firewall rule

Here what is in logs:

and in connection state tracking it has only one direction entry:

      protocol=icmpv6 src-address=2001:xxx:xx:x:xxxx:baff:fe35:149a dst-address=2600:xxxx:xxxx:1000::1

Upd: adding in raw table bunch of "no track" rules helps, but looses some part of firewall functionality... that's why netmap might be a better solution anyway...

Upd: adding in raw table bunch of "no track" rules helps, but looses some part of firewall functionality... that's why netmap might be a better solution anyway...

That is not a bug, that is expected. You are using stateful rules to filter NPTv6 traffic which is stateless. To begin with IPv6 restores the end-to-end principle therefore removing NAT and stateful-ness along with it. You are not supposed to create state-full ness for IPv6 if you want maximum possible end-to-end performance and eliminate STUN/TURN completely from the network.

This is off-topic, I will not go further than this, but I suggest you learn network engineering further to understand better.

For IPv6 firewalling, use the raw table, remove all filter/NAT rules. The raw table aka prerouting chain is powerful and you can use various ACLs and parameters like src or dst address type.

Statefulness makes sense only for an IoT VLAN. Everything else, filter on host or not like an iPhone where nothing is running on any port, it doesn't matter.

I don't agree. Stateful-ness has nothing to do with NAT, it's the other way around (it's not possible to perform sensible NAT without being aware of connection state). When it comes to NPTv6, it can indeed work as stateless ... but that doesn't prevent firewallv6 from work in stateful manner. And stateful firewall has quite a few advantages over stateless firewall (speed is obviously not one of them).

The packet flow explanation doesn't differentiate between IPv4 and IPv6 (in some places it explicitly mixes them ... "IPv4 or IPv6"), doesn't explicitly mention netmap - it uses generic "DST NAT" and "SRC NAT" boxes and I assume netmap is covered (as a special case) with that functionality. And I assume NPTv6 is covered there as well.
If my assumptions are correct, then using NPTv6 (or netmap) doesn't change functioning of firewallv6, one only has to be carefull about which addresses are being used when packets are passing firewall (according to packet flow diagrams the "internal" addresses are seen by firewall).

But then my assumptions can be wrong. And I don't need NPTv6 (or netmap) so I'm not going to test it myself.

pe1chl · Sun Jan 15, 2023 2:01 pm

There's a bug in the DNS static vs caching implementation here. A/AAAA/SOA records can not coexist with CNAME records. If one of them is static, the other set needs to be filtered from the upstream.

Edit: it appears that CNAMEs in general can't coexist with all other record types, so if something other than a CNAME is static, any upstream CNAME needs to be filtered out, and vice versa.

That is according to DNS spec. CNAME and other data on the same name is not allowed in DNS. Sure it is sometimes inconvenient.
Maybe you need to cut back on clever use of static DNS records to override what outside DNS is telling you. That is never going to work well.
Static DNS records should only be used for names that you manage yourself.

When it comes to NPTv6, it can indeed work as stateless ... but that doesn't prevent firewallv6 from work in stateful manner. And stateful firewall has quite a few advantages over stateless firewall (speed is obviously not one of them).

Stateful-ness doesn't need NAT. But NAT requires stateful-ness to work. NPTv6 isn't NAT, it is stateless, it doesn't need the conn_track module.

You should stop pretending to be a know-it-all expert and do some reading.

This document describes a stateless, transport-agnostic IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) function that provides the address-independence benefit associated with IPv4-to-IPv4 NAT (NAPT44) and provides a 1:1 relationship between addresses in the "inside" and "outside" prefixes, preserving end-to-end reachability at the network layer.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6296
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The packet flow explanation doesn't differentiate between IPv4 and IPv6 (in some places it explicitly mixes them ... "IPv4 or IPv6"), doesn't explicitly mention netmap - it uses generic "DST NAT" and "SRC NAT" boxes and I assume netmap is covered (as a special case) with that functionality. And I assume NPTv6 is covered there as well.
If my assumptions are correct, then using NPTv6 (or netmap) doesn't change functioning of firewallv6, one only has to be carefull about which addresses are being used when packets are passing firewall (according to packet flow diagrams the "internal" addresses are seen by firewall).

But then my assumptions can be wrong. And I don't need NPTv6 (or netmap) so I'm not going to test it myself.

You are not entirely wrong about the stateful firewall, it has its place, and is useful for non-advanced users or engineers who lack the expertise to configure a stateless firewall that covers A to Z. I can filter out unsolicited traffic or in other words traffic that could for example try to SSH into the router or my hosts or whatever, using purely the stateless firewall by exploiting the various parameters supported in legacy iptables. But as I stated this is advanced and not everyone can do this, or should, because chances are, they may leave loopholes or break stuff on layer 3/4 (been there, done that).

But if an organisation or business or even a home user, wants true native IPv6 end-to-end principle restored, then they should make the efforts to learn advanced iptables and exploit everything there is in the prerouting chain to filter all the crap they want without harming the end-to-end principle and advantage of IPv6 therefore nearly zero performance loss compared to stateful firewall with severe performance loss when trying to route line-rate.

The packet flow diagram hasn't been updated in decades since the NetFilter project became “public” (mass adoption), which is unfortunately a problem for experts such as yourself that assume it is flawless. It does not differentiate between NAT66 and NPTv6 because both didn't even exist back then, when the original diagram went public. Unfortunately for non-experts like myself and other folks, this has been problematic in the field when we deal with experts that believe blindly the packet flow diagram is flawless, it is not. I recommend, you actually look at the Linux kernel source code, focus on the NPTv6 code and compare it to NAT66, they aren't remotely similar short of “translation”, but the mechanism varies between Earth and Mars. I could be wrong, the diagram could be wrong, but the source code does not lie. It is C programming, so easier to parse for non-programming folks like myself, C being procedural and all.

Now, hopefully someone in the Linux NetFilter project will eventually update both the docs and the diagram to reflect the new changes. Especially since everyone (except MikroTik and other vendors) is moving away from NetFilter for filtering (leaving packet assembly and dis-assembly/sk_buff etc still to NetFilter) to either XDP or entire kernel bypass using DPDK. A proper packet-flow diagram including these technologies to properly represent their flow in the process along with NPTv6 is more important now than ever to prevent misinformation from plaguing the networking industry.

The Wikipedia version of the diagram, is slightly more accurate as it does represent XDP, but does not cover the NPTv6 which is in “mangle” (after conn_track), but is supposed to stateless (can be proven by no_tracking in the raw table that it works). You need to realise it's all just hooks, the different “chains” can be hooked stateless_ly without conn_track under the hood. Performance wise, no_tracking doesn't guarantee performance-loss=zero if you use anything short of prerouting/raw table:

iptables has multiple pre-defined tables and base chains, all of which are registered even if you only need one of them. There have been reports of even unused base chains harming performance.

Source: https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables ... h_iptables

And hopefully, MikroTik migrates to nftables at the least and perhaps give us XDP support (ASIC offloaded or native mode) or DPDK, and we can all dump the stateful-ness bullshit (mostly but not entirely) and filter at the NIC level. ROSv7 took decades, we can expect this in Tik in about 60 years lol.

I have a problem with SRC-NAT, it is not matching all the connections so there are connections that are passing through the router without being NATed.

You mean "connections"? Or actually you mean only some packets belonging to a previous connection?
There is a wellknown bug (actually a bug in the Linux kernel) where the connection state is removed too early, and late packets like repeated ACK-FIN or RST belonging to an earlier connection are passed through without NAT.
The default firewall rule to block packets with connection state "invalid" is an attempt to block those packets, but it causes other problems as well.
Apparently the Linux developers have chosen to live with this problem (as it is present for decades) so I think it is best to do the same.

Disabling L3HW Offloading also led to a reduction in CPU usage, which is surprising, especially since L3HW Offloading promises exactly the opposite.

With offloading of CPU tasks to external hardware there is always the tradeoff between performing the actual task on the CPU, and detecting that the task may be performed by external hardware + loading the appropriate information into the external hardware. When there is little traffic, it may well be that loading the route into the switch costs more than doing the routing in the CPU.

This just means there's no more room for offloading routes. Your CPU's are handling all the routing. Mine does that on 7.4.1 unless I filter out routes to a couple hundred thousand down from 1.4 million. It's not a bug.

When I filter all but about 200K routes from external peers, everything fits in L3HW tables and CPU goes down to 0% on the core and 5% on the borders.

bluntmike · Tue Jan 17, 2023 8:44 am

I think this change
*) dns - query upstream DNS servers for other record types even if static entry exists;
creates some big problem for me.

For my local network I have some static A entries in my MT router for local services.
They don't have any static AAAA records as I don't want to use IPv6 for those services.
With 7.6 everything is fine.
After updating to 7.7 resolving the static A entries from within docker containers completely seems to be broken (e.g., ping gives just a bad address error).
Reverting back to 7.6 without changing anything else fixes lookup in the containers.

For 7.6 I got a valid (NOERROR) but empty response trying to resolve an AAAA record for a static A entry:
Code: Select all
root@james:~# host -t AAAA -v mqtt.xxx.home 192.168.0.254
Trying "mqtt.xxx.home"
Using domain server:
Name: 192.168.0.254
Address: 192.168.0.254#53
Aliases: 

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 48407
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 13

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mqtt.xxx.home.		IN	AAAA
This correctly indicates that there is no IPv6 address to best of my knowledge.

With 7.7 I get a NXDOMAIN error (which is of course valid from an upstream server point of view as upstream server doesn't know anything about my local entries):
Code: Select all
root@james:~# host -t AAAA -v test.xxx.home 192.168.0.253
Trying "test.xxx.home"
Using domain server:
Name: 192.168.0.253
Address: 192.168.0.253#53
Aliases: 

Host test.xxx.home not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
I guess this NXDOMAIN at least confuses name resolution within my docker containers (docker DNS proxy?).
It seems to be no generic problem in host linux (I can ping a static entry from host but not from within container, ping by IP is fine in container).

Any ideas or any possibility to create an "empty" static AAAA entry?

I dont't really want to create real AAAA entries as I had some problems with docker and IPv6 in the past.

Thanks!

7.7 also broke my home static entries when using home assistant, nslookup returns the ipv4 followed by a NXDOMAIN error.

For example - I have an A for paradox.lan to 192.168.88.49 - I just created an AAAA with the IP as 192.168.88.49 in Winbox which just saved as ::ffff:192.168.88.49 and everything works again.

[edit] bit of a ipv6 noob but i see now @ https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asn ... stypes.pdf that ::ffff/96 is used to map v4's

for me 7.7 still has two main pppoe issues:
- some time in case of massive client's diisconnections the dynamic simple queue about pppoe got invalid and the only way to delete them is to reboot the router;

hello
I recently updated my ebs 3011 with 7.7, everything was fine except that in my 3011 that I had as a balancer (pcc with recursive routes) the balancer stopped working, it didn't give me internet I had to return it to 6.48
In rbs with models prior to 3011, all 7.7 is installed without problems, but when doing a reboot they hang, it just happened to me with a RB760IGS and a 2011 all wrong and I couldn't recover them with anything

It is a problem with your configuration. The behavior of recursive routes has changed, as have some other related things (e.g. route marks).
You will need to study the changes and adapt your configuration to it, it will not be automatically done by the conversion done when upgrading.

We just upgraded from v6.9 to the new v7 were everything was working fine.

For BGP to partially work, we had to disable BFD and now we are currently having issues to advertise networks that are not static assigned within the /ip address or static routes from both ends using eBGP.

Anyone has a solution for this?

FIBRANETPLUS · Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:23 pm

Try disabling PCC balancing, and then a netinstall/basic config, and work your way back. Eventually you'll find out what's causing your problem.

I check and found problem with OLT (ZTEC320) whit 2 OLT same problem.

If I connect any PC o Router to any MikroTik port, this pages and apps work fine

But not work in ONT, very strange.

*) wifiwave2 - fixed 4-way handshake with TKIP;

This means thath WiFiWave2 devices are capable to be used as repeater in Station mode?

rkrisi · Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:23 pm

I have experienced several messages like "private-dhcp offering lease 192.168.111.50 for 94:EA:32:35:52:98 without success" after upgrading to 7.7. The result was that the clients were unable to access the network nor Internet. Clients are mostly connected via CAP managed APs.
This happened for different clients with different OSes (e.g. Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 and iPhone SE 2020).
I have two bridges, each with a different dhcp server on my RB3011UiAS. Only one of the dhcp servers behaved like that. There were no other messages indicating what the problem could be. The configuration looked fine, just like before the upgrade.
I have downgraded to 7.6 but the problem persisted. Only after restore of configuration from before the upgrade to 7.7, the problem is gone.
This is only a heads up. If someone else gets into trouble with DHCP server, I hope you will have possibility to investigate deeper. I wasn't that lucky. I needed to get rid of the issue ASAP.

Well it seems I'm having the same issue. All APs on 7.7, controller (which is also the router) is on 7.6. Only my MacBook having this problem, others can connect successfully.

pe1chl · Tue Jan 17, 2023 6:50 pm

It is not a bug.

Well, it is a bit unfortunate that both this and "/routing bgp aggregate" have been removed in v7.
An unsynchronized route would have been a simple way to work around the lack of route aggregation.
(but probably it most cases it was used incorrectly and I can understand why it was removed)

mducharme · Tue Jan 17, 2023 7:05 pm

This has always worked assuming you didn't need bridging and were fine with the repeater using a different SSID than the main network. I think you're probably getting four-way TKIP handshake mixed up with four address mode support, the latter is needed for bridging and extending a network while keeping the same SSID, and is not available yet.

Tried upgrading my hAP ac2 via System>Packages, router ended up boot looping. Had to restore it via Netinstall, and the backup I've made prior the foul update hasn't been restored fully and I have to reconfigure a whole bunch of settings to get back to where it was before, for example I had to connect to the router via the MAC address to even realize the backup has restored in any form, and from there I can see that a lot of configuration is missing. VPN secrets, interface names, addresses, which was the reason I couldn't connect to my router via IP, services, and so on and so on. I have no idea how it ended up being so bad, this is the first time I had to deal with a failed update and it ruined almost everything.

Did it run v6 before and did you upgrade to v7 without ever doing a netinstall of a v7 version?

supra107 · Tue Jan 17, 2023 8:27 pm

What are you quotting whole preceding post for? Do this help undertending the conversation? No. Use "Post Reply" button.

The factory version was v6, but I upgraded to v7 via WinBox around when it first came out and all the updates since then were going fine, until today. Then I used Netinstall to bring it back to the version it was running before the upgrade, which was v7.6.

pe1chl · Tue Jan 17, 2023 8:31 pm

Ok, it would be best to now do a /export show-sensitive file=xxxx to save what you have, download the .rsc file, do the netinstall to 7.7 with blank configuration, then connect via MAC and upload that export file and import it.
That should save you from having this issue again in the future.
(alternatively, when you do not have too much specific local configuration, it can be better to apply "default configuration" and start to manually configure from there)

supra107 · Tue Jan 17, 2023 8:35 pm

What are you quotting whole preceding post for? Do this help undertending the conversation? No. Use "Post Reply" button.

What I should've done is export the .rsc file before even initiating the update in the first place, that would've saved me a lot of nerves and time. I was misguided to believe that the backup is a universal solution to a botched upgrade, and now I had to rely on an export from last year to try and bring the router back to where it was before.

Which is odd, because I rolled back the exact same device to the exact same RouterOS version it was on when I made the backup, yet it ended up being incomplete. Perhaps due to using Netinstall it resulted in it being improper for the device?

No, it should normally be possible to use backup across versions, you could even restore a v6 backup into v7 and it would re-do the conversion to v7.
However, your config was probably corrupt. That is why the upgrade went wrong too. The advise is therefore to use the /export instead of the backup, after starting a fresh config database using the blank netinstall.
Lots of users went through this. You have a router running v6, you upgrade it to v7 and it appears to work OK, then you upgrade and some time after that it sometimes forgets part of the configuration at reboot. This is finally solved when the configuration is re-done using a recent v7 install. I don't know when this issue was fixed, it is a long time ago. But it looks like existing installs that have been upgraded in the past do still suffer from it, as it comes up on the forum quite regularly.

Same problem in 7.6 and 7.7 - lets encrypt update certificate - name changed (to curent date and time), but certificate is still old and expired.
It is neccessary to delete certificate and create new.

In 7.7 it is not neccessary open port 80 on firewall and enable http.

I downgraded to 7.6, because i had no time to investigate IPSEC problem.
SSTP did not work, disable and enable SSTP did not help.
But change parameters in SSTP (certificate none, tls ver any,...) aply and set it back work.
SSTP is working again.
This problem happened on 1 of 2 routers, the seconds upgrades and SSTP works with 7.7.

benlg · Wed Jan 18, 2023 11:32 am

In 7.7 it is not neccessary open port 80 on firewall and enable http.

Interesting, no more needed to open port 80 to generate a Let'sEncrypt certificate ?
How does RouterOS do then ?
And http service no more needed either ? Certainly they now use the "standalone" certbot method.
But "standalone" method still needs port 80, so rather strange...

mkx · Wed Jan 18, 2023 7:49 pm

But "standalone" method still needs port 80, so rather strange...

In some implementations (e.g. certbot for linux), script, when running in standalone mode, starts a limited http server on configured port (can be 80 FWIW) only for certificate renewal. After that, service is shut down again.

benlg · Wed Jan 18, 2023 7:52 pm

Yes, but then it still needs port 80 to be opened in FW :)
tova, a few posts above, seems to say that port 80 does not need to be opened anymore in FW, which then sounds strange :|

mkx · Wed Jan 18, 2023 8:01 pm

Yes, but then it still needs port 80 to be opened in FW :)

Well, if I wrote such a script, then I'd surely also add necessary FW rule (and push it to very top so any rule that might block it, would be evaluated afterwards) ... and remove it after it's not needed anymore. Similarly one can (temprorarily) override DST NAT (which would otherwise redirect packets from chain=input to chain=forward), but can similarly be overshadowed by a action=accept DST NAT rule (again pushed right to the top).
And something similar for IPv6 (if it's enabled on router).

benlg · Wed Jan 18, 2023 8:06 pm

Sure, there's certainly a MikroTik hack somewhere...
Which is exactly what I do for now in my own renew schedules (I do not rely on MikroTik ones, to avoid leaving port 80 opened) :)

benlg · Wed Jan 18, 2023 8:07 pm

mkx · Wed Jan 18, 2023 9:21 pm

Doc still mentions about port 80 though :

Yeah, it does, but in different context. Here what's written:

Note that the DNS name must point to the router and port TCP/80 must be available from the WAN.

None of it is about router config. It says that FQDN set on command line has to point to router (directly or indirectly) and TCP 80 connection has to arrive at router (if router is behind a firewall, that upstream firewall has to allow/forward connection to this router). That's all the quoted part of manual page says.

Any ideas or any possibility to create an "empty" static AAAA entry?

I dont't really want to create real AAAA entries as I had some problems with docker and IPv6 in the past.

Thanks!

Since 7.7 IPV6 lookups now return NXDOMAIN and it makes my docker containers ignore the valid IPv4.

I finally figured this one out.. I created a regex that matches my internal record and created an AAAA record that points to -2001::- fe80::
I'm not sure if it's right or not but it seems to make docker happy enough to ignore the ipv6 record.
It would be nice if there was an option to return nothing...
EDIT: I switched from 2001:: as that's a valid address to fe80:: which is a link local address. It seems to work better and thus far I haven't found it making and random connections.

Yes that makes sense for me also, that's the reason I asked, but is it possible to upgrade directly from 6.40 to 7.7 ?

Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:43 am

Theoretically, yes.
Practically: I wouldn't do that.

Always make proper backups first (digital and export, CHECK completeness of export)
How I would do it: 2 options:
1- first upgrade to latest 6.49, then move to ROS7 (my preference).
2- go all the way and take the big jump

If you experience strange behavior, it might be needed to netinstall device, clean config, and re-import via terminal config from earlier backup (block by block, could be some parts have been re-ordered and may cause errors but that should be pretty obvious)

What device are you aiming for ? Some of the low-resource devices do not feel too happy about ROS7, so be aware of that before you move.

Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:53 am

...

....

To prevent mistakes: In that context "import from backup" means copying and pasting configuration EXPORTED in a text form with a command:

/export file=filename

or even better

/export terse file=filename

as each line is a complete command then

Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:56 am

Correct. But that should be obvious when you try to open the binary backup ;-)
For completeness however, it doesn't hurt mentioning it again so thank you for the addition.

pe1chl · Thu Jan 19, 2023 11:55 am

I think in any case the wisest thing to do is to first upgrade to 6.49.7 and then do an export, try the upgrade to 7.7 and again do an export, and finally netinstall the device to 7.7 and use those exports to re-build the config.
When you are still on 6.40 and it is not some specialized enterprise device but it is your home router, the very best thing to do is to start completely from scratch with default config and to keep that export only as a manual guideline to remember what things you had configured.
DO NOT copy stuff like bridge configuration, firewall rules or IPsec config from that old config, it has all changed and improved so much over time that it is much better to start fresh. Really. You only use the export to pick up things like passwords and general config outline.

Beside the DNS problem I've already mentioned here:
Even though I've disabled the NTP server I can't run a wireguard server on Port 123 anymore. It was working with 7.6.

wg_mobil: Could not create IPv4 socket

Port 124 is working so I guess RouterOS is blocking this port even with NTP server disabled somehow.

Edit: It seems to start (and work) if I disable the NTP client. Is this intended? I'm pretty sure I had it enabled on 7.6 too.

You are correct.. I just started to wonder about that this morning... I did a tcpdump and it is indeed firing off a request to the internet... So I tried again using `fe80::` and it seems to work. I didn't see my linux docker container making any requests to that address. I assume it knows it's a local link address maybe? Not sure.

ishanjain · Thu Jan 19, 2023 5:09 pm

Hey, I believe this update breaks wireguard for me. I am using RB450GX4 and I am on mikrotik 7.7. I upgraded from ros 7.6.

I can't reach any thing in my internal network from any peer except for one wireguard peer. The wireguard peer that is still working has an endpoint configured and it's a machine on Linode. Every thing else is stuff like Mobile phones//tablets/laptops on public WiFi. These clients do not have an endpoint configured.

In the logs, I see handshake initiation traffic from clients but mikrotik router is not responding to this traffiic.

Screenshot 2023-01-19 203403.png

In the traffic stats in wireguard menu, I see the rx/tx counters are moving, so I captured some packets with packet sniffer(interface=wireguard-interface, no other settings configured, direction=any) and I don't see any traffic at all. I am not sure why is the rx/tx counter moving?

Screenshot 2023-01-19 203528.png

For "Ishan's Phone", Last handshake is stuck at 01:01:34 even as I am typing this but rx/tx stat keeps moving? on the WAN interface, I only see handhsake initiation traffic. I'll try rebooting the router in a few hours and I am guessing that'll fix this but this is really weird.

All wireguard clients except for the machine on linode have this problem.

Thu Jan 19, 2023 5:42 pm

Maybe best to start a new topic with full config of your setup.
Wireguard works just fine on my devices (also 7.7).

As for tx counters moving, wireguard ALWAYS sends. It's only when you see something coming back that you know it works.

eworm · Thu Jan 19, 2023 5:46 pm

My guess is that you have one or more wrong ranges in peer's allowed-ips setting.
