I'm not sure this is related to 7.9rc, however HotSpot is not designed for multigateway configuration.

Thanks!

Still some issues with ssh keys:

*) ssh - added support for Ed25519 key export and import in PKCS8 format;

Export of hostkey in ed25519 works, reimport of the same key or other ed25519 keys will not import (tested on CHR(x86) platform):

Also user keys ed25519 in PKCS8 Format generated with the following command are not imported (with or without password doesn't matter)

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -m PKCS8 -f my.key

SUP-111720 for AX3 seems to be solved.
No more error messages about customized default config script at startup.
Default script (system default-configuration) is now also adjusted, not only caps part anymore.

osc86 · Fri Mar 31, 2023 1:41 pm

thanks for this new release.

*) ipv6 - send out RA packet with "preferred-lifetime" set to "0" when IPv6 address is deactivated;
please also do that when the router is rebooted (updates, maintenance).

And please fix PoE on hap ax3 to stay on when rebooting the device.

Already know, already reported from me two times on another two rotueros version, and the exact procedure for fix that error, never fixed.

Then I broke down to rewrite it every time, they didn't care anyway.

On 7.6

I had it too on AX3 and for me this was solved with 7.9rc1. See couple of posts up where the reference is of sup ticket.
No more error after reboot.

Export of hostkey in ed25519 works, reimport of the same key or other ed25519 keys will not import (tested on CHR(x86) platform):

Haven't found a way to convert the exported host keys to OpenSSH format using

ssh-keygen

.

sshpk seems to work using the following:

$ node sshpk/bin/sshpk-conv --informat=pkcs8 --file=router_ed25519.pem --outformat=ssh --out=router_ed25519.pub --comment "admin@router"
$ file router_ed25519.pub
router_ed25519.pub: OpenSSH ED25519 public key
$

Might be safer to provide a mechanism to export just the host public key (or encrypt the hosts keys with a passphrase).

rebooting is the only solution.

just an order of magnitude higher.

Well, this is a "release candidate" and MT had occasions where more than one RC happened before corresponding "full" release. Meaning that even MT considers this more a lab testing release than for production environment. Surely it's up to anyone to install rc or even beta in their production networks if they decide so.

And RC should never be run in production. I would say stay away from 7.x.0 and wait for 7.x.1 or higher. But it seems that MT like to add new function compare to make it stable. I was hoping on 7.8.1 be fore 7.9beta/rc, or at lest backport fixes broken in 7.8 to make 7.8.1 and try to reach the first long time release for 7.x

works fine to obtain the host public key (so long as you remember to specify the port if you've changed it from the default).

Non. Currently ed25519 keys for public key authentication are not supported.

Hmmm...:

*) ssh - added support for Ed25519 key export and import in PKCS8 format;

*) ssh - added Ed25519 host key support;

So they only added Ed25519 for "host keys", not for authentication? That's unfortunate...

At the moment Ed25519 key import/export is available only under the "/ip/ssh/" menu. The format must be PKCS8. An additional fix for the "/ip/ssh/import-host-key" function will be available in rc2.

Please note that ssh-keygen ignores the PKCS8 format parameter for Ed25519 key, you should use OpenSSL to generate the key and store it in PKCS8 format.

"openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out private.pem"

Tx Power for 2.4 GHz interface on hAP ax2 is limited to 15 dBm. Tested with different Country configured.
Moreover, right after changing a country 20 dBm is displayed for a while and then it falls to 15 dBm.

The monitor command will report transmitter (radio) power. As rextended pointed out, 15dBm is the appropriate transmitter power to use for an interface with 5 dB (rounded up) antenna gain, when operating on a channel, where regulatory requirements limit EIRP to 20dBm.
The initial reading of 20dBm is erroneous. As the interface is starting up, the actual power figure is not yet available and the reading falls back to max regulatory EIRP.

rextended · Wed Apr 05, 2023 10:49 am

For be clear: the bug can be the temporary display of 20, not what you suppose: the tx power = 15.

i suggest setting default (factory) value of SIP TIMEOUT to 3 minutes (by default). hope we can see it in next releases.

Most routers use 3 minutes udp session timeout. when SIP timeout is higher than 3 minutes, keep alive packets or reconnections will not happen. and this will make your phone number unavailable.

tbh 10 seconds value will work even better if you add connection tracking timeout to SIP ALG. for example, i want SIP connection to stay in connection tracking table for 1 hours, and set sip timeout to 10 seconds so devices will send keepalive/invite etc each and every ten seconds.

thanks for reading , regards

Hello,

I’ve just found one possible bug, when activating ft=yes old iPads Air 2 running iPadOS 15.7.4 could not connect anymore (activating ft-over-ds do not help neither), always requesting for password and telling bad password. In my case valid authentication are wpa2-psk and wpa3-psk only (checked also with wpa-psk unsucessfully).
By looking here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202628 is seems related to 802.11r adaptive, could it be possible to just activate 802.11k and 801.11r and add a checkbox to active 802.11r adaptative ?

Deactivating ft (ft=no) solve the issue.

Thanks for all the hard work - but a large number of users are still suffering from non-working sfp adapters in the RB5009's
One user is running a RB5009UG and this one does work while a larger group of other users (both RB5009UG as well as RB5009Upr) suffer from a problem with non-working sfp (fs.com) adapters.
The sfp adapters work fine in a HexS and a tp-link media converter - so it seems that the problem lies with the RB5009.

As this issue is now going on for 6 months or more - would you be so kind to give this some priority please?

I don't think it's so difficult to replicate... it happens to me in several routers. It happens when a tunnel gets disconnected for whatever reason, and then the router creates a new one (when there is a static -in interface, it creates a new dynamic one) but the process for the old tunnel seems to keep running in the background, maxing out a core of the cpu.

20dBm for all countries? No.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... ree/db.txt
Guatemala - 30dmb
Panama - 36dBm
I've played with the "Country" option and it doesn't affect the reported TX power. It always says 15 (+4.5?). But for Guatemala the limit is (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (30), for Panama - (2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (36).
At the same time, changing the "Country" option for 5GHz interface affects the reported TX power: I saw values from 9dBm (Ukraine) to 25dBm (Guatemala, Panama). But still less than allowed values (including antenna gain: Guatemala - (5725 - 5850 @ 80), (36)).

In addition:
https://i.mt.lv/cdn/product_files/hAPax2_221036.pdf - Wireless specifications
vs
https://fccid.io/TV7C52-5AXD2AXD - Operating Frequencies

Okay, I was able to get 25dBm (+5) for 2GHz interface with region Panama and 1 ch (2412 MHz) configured. 13 ch is not supported for Panama - what?!.
But https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... ree/db.txt says that the limit for Panama is 36dBm for 2400 - 2483.5 @ 40, so 13ch (2472 center freq., 2461–2483) should not be supported. The same for Guatemala and a lot of other counties.

No, it needs to be specified that particular config is for non-AX devices.

7.9rc2 working on ax2 without any issue

Hi.

For me, FastTrack counters stay at zero on hap_ax3. Since 7.8.
On a rb2011 everything is OK with a similar config.

Joe1vm · Wed Apr 12, 2023 8:40 pm

2x hap ax2 + hap ax3 working as caps connected via Cisco switch to 5009 acting as main router and capsman.
Both hap ax2 randomly disconnect from capsman. Sometimes they reconnect by itself, sometimes the reboot is needed. Some mobile phones are dropped randomly with password requirement for reconnection or wifi disable/enable step. Both of them powered via POE. Sometimes the port 1 flips and reduce the rate from 1G to 100M. Hap ax3 with the same confign does not act like that.
No similar issue was observed with 7.8. So, downgraded back to 7.8.

CAPsMAN AX3/Audience issues with 7.9RC1 and 7.9RC2

Dynamic binding of datapath to bridge port not working on remote Hap AX3 devices

Dynamic binding of datapath to bridge port works on Hap AX3 device if it is also acting as the CAPsMAN

Updating CAPsMAN wifi profiles results in remote APs re-creating their wifi interfaces names with next available number. Resulting in manual wifi->bridgeport bindings being lost

Audience does not support vlan assignment for WiFi, resulting in it not being able to participate in the CAPsMAN configuration.

Incorrect password [Using WPA2] occurs after a period of time across multiple devices (Samsung Phones/Win11 etc), only resolved by rebooting APs

Longer version
Hap AX3 has issues with 7.9rc1&rc2 with capsman. Datapath fails to dynamically add to bridge on remote APs, and comms go nowhere unless the wifi interface is manually added to the bridge port, and bridges uplink (trunk) port is set to disable hardware offloading. Manually bridging wifi/virtual ap to bridge creates issues also. If the CAPsMAN configuration is updated, the remote CAPs will re-create their wifi interface names using the next available wifi numbers. This means you have to go back and add the new interface names to the bridge. Rebooting the remote CAP will result in it getting its original wifi names, and the bridge ports working again. => Dynamic bridge port assignment not working on remote CAPs, If CAPsMAN is running on an AP, that AP will work with dynamic binding.

I also have the problem of 'incorrect password' after a period of time. Phones (Samsung) and Laptop (Win11) all show disconnected with invalid password. Re-entering the credentials (WPA2) does not correct the problem. Only solution is to reboot the CAPsMAN AP and then the remote APs. Once done, systems can re-connect (Win11 automatically, Samsung Phone you have to tap the SSID in the WiFi list and then it will attempt to re-connect).

I also have an Audience, and the firmware does not support vlan assignment on it. Hence it cannot be part of the CAPsMAN network at present.

So, in summary: 7.9rc2 lack of dynamic datapath bridge binding makes CAPsMAN unworkable (Any changes to CAPsMAN config result in remote APs regenerating their interface names and hence no longer being bridged to the network). 'Incorrect password' issue after a period of time, with a reboot of APs being the only solution.

I bit of work is needed before I can have a stable WiFi with FT roaming across AX3 unfortunately. I do not know if Mikrotik will ever support vlan assignment on the Audience, and I may have to drop it from the network (If it can't be managed by CAPsMAN it cannot participate in FT roaming).

I have none of your problems, I have one hAP ax3 and two hAP ax2 with capsman which work perfectly.
You probably misconfigured capsman wave 2, I don't use dynamic interfaces for wifi.

Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:01 am

If you truly want to use capsman and caps as intended, dynamic interfaces should be possible, including vlan.
I had a similar problem with a test setup, support told me this will be fixed in next version.

CAPsMAN is "meant" to use dynamic binding, so that you do not need to configure static bridge port bindings on each remote CAP. Support has looked at the configuration, stated that dynamic binding will not work (will be fixed, hopefully in the 7.9 release). Also suggested how to setup static binding. I can only surmise that you are using static binding on your AX devices (i.e. Manually bridging the wifi interface to the required bridge/vlan). I also have multiple SSIDs to broadcast (so virtual APs).

As for the incorrect password problem, it started happening at RC2 I think. What version of Mikrotik OS are you using for your setup, and what authentication mechanism are you using (WPA2, WPA3, 802.1x....), and reading other threads I am not alone with that problem.

Rc versions almost always will include fixes for problems introduced in a particular release tree. That is the whole point of "release-candidate". Once rc1 is released, then other releases will be further attempts to stabilize the version before the "stable" release. Other new fixes will be included in the next version "beta" releases.

Thu Apr 13, 2023 1:47 pm

This is due to change in dockerhub.

…and a good one, since it means we're moving toward a world of standards-based container tech, which will help break Docker, Inc's hold on this key technology.

The day RouterOS goes fully OCI-compliant will be a great day.

Multiple workarounds are already posted in forums

My favorite isn't here anywhere — it's on my site — so I'll repeat it here, having no better place to put it: download the image as a tarball and run it through skopeo to "normalize" the format. You can then upload that fixed-up tarball to the router.

$ docker pull adguard-home:latest
$ docker save adguard/adguardhome:latest -o agh-broken.tar
$ brew install skopeo         # or apt, or dnf, or…
$ skopeo copy docker-archive:agh-broken.tar docker-archive:agh-fixed.tar
$ scp agh-fixed.tar myrouter:
$ ssh myrouter
> /container/add file=agh-fixed.tar interface=veth1 …plus any other parameters that please you

If the provenance of the skopeo tool worries you, be assured that it comes from Red Hat's Podman project, one of the leaders in this OCI movement. You can use their "podman" CLI tool in place of "docker" in the commands above, if you prefer.

On 7.9rc3, with a CCR2004 it is not receiving ICMPv6 RA (Router Advertisements). Downgrading to 7.8 fixed the issue.

Thu Apr 13, 2023 7:35 pm

tpedko - If we push all of the possible fixes in every release, then we will never reach a "stable" release. We do, at some point when we consider all of the new features quite stable, build an RC version. Then rc1 is released. After that only fixes that polish particular release tree are included. All others are included only in the next release. If we would include all of the possible fixes in every release, then any version would be a beta version. The fix that you refer to was prepared only after rc1 release.

PROBLEM: hAP AX lite with both 7.8 and 7.9rc3: without wifiwave2 package (due to user error) installed, Reset Configuration via button or GUI ends up with NO configuraton. User must know he must access router using winbox+MACaddress+ethernet and install wifiwave2 from extras package, otherwise it's bricked for him without reasonable way to restore.

Story: hAP AX lite comes with 7.6. Upgraded via downloaded 7.8 main package because no access to ethernet for it and didn't even have a look on installed packages list. After that noticed that wifi doesn't come up, so suspecting unhappy upgrade, did a reset configuration via button and it went even worse. Organized access to ethernet, luckily I also knew how to reach router via winbox+MACaddress and figured out that it MIGHT be caused by wifiwave2 is missing from extras. After installation of wifiwave2 Reset Configuration went back to normal again.

Fri Apr 14, 2023 10:43 am

That's a triple error.
Manual upgrade instead of normal upgrade process, not taking into account all packages and then pressing reset.
Will normally not happen for a "normal" user :lol:

Point of the problem is that accidentally partial offline upgrade removes wifiwave2 package and this makes Reset Configuration act wrong. Expected result would be that even without wifiwave2 package, after Reset Configuration router gets default configuration, but without wireless functionality.

CAPsMAN AX3/Audience issues with 7.9RC1 and 7.9RC2

Incorrect password [Using WPA2] occurs after a period of time across multiple devices (Samsung Phones/Win11 etc), only resolved by rebooting APs[/

I also have the problem of 'incorrect password' after a period of time. Phones (Samsung) and Laptop (Win11) all show disconnected with invalid password. Re-entering the credentials (WPA2) does not correct the problem. Only solution is to reboot the CAPsMAN AP and then the remote APs. Once done, systems can re-connect (Win11 automatically, Samsung Phone you have to tap the SSID in the WiFi list and then it will attempt to re-connect).

I'm facing the same issue on an HAP Ax2, it's only appearing using v7.9 from beta till rc2 (didn't test rc3 until now). I'm using static wifi interfaces with vlans. Do you need a support ticket for this issue ?

Fri Apr 14, 2023 5:17 pm

It will be fixed in a later version.

See post 117 and 121 above.

But the post you are referring to, are about dynamic interface/bridge, not about authentication issues, like stated in posts 114, 97 and 95.

So for me it's not the same issue, or I'm wrong ?

Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:15 pm

Ah, but your response did not specify what part of the complete quote you made was your problem (the usual problem with complete quotes and not clarifying...).
Using static wifi interfaces and VLANs, I had it working.
Using dynamic interfaces and VLANs as well but with a workaround which required completely disabling VLAN handling on the AP-bridge which kind of negates the way I want to use it. So I stopped that experiment until the proper fix comes out.
Working means for me also authentication was functioning.

nonolk · Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:09 pm

You’re right, therefore I edited the post with just the useful information.

coddy · Fri Apr 14, 2023 9:24 pm

@nonolk: I don't have a SUP for the "incorrect password" problem, I don't have a handle on it yet.

I created a sup for the dynamic binding/vlan problems, and was informed it will be fixed (hopefully 7.9 final, but that may be too optimistic).

I don't know at this stage if the password problem is caused by FT=yes, I know it takes a long time to appear. There are some key timeouts in the FT section notably ft-r0-key-lifetime which defaults to 600000s (~7 days). I might change that down to less than a day and see if the problem occurs more frequently.... Just I have to reboot all the APs after the config change because the static bindings will be lost (such a pain).

Update: Changed ft-r0-key-lifetime to 300s and could not get failure (under RC3). So probably nothing to do with FT. Will see if problem re-occurs under RC3+.

*) wifiwave2 - automatically add a VLAN-tagged interface to the appropriate bridge VLAN;
I use a CHR as CAPsMANv3 with 7.9RC3 and a hAP AX2 as CAP with 3 SSID´s, two of them with VLAN tag (Guest and IoT).
But in none of my configs (I´ve tried several onces) the automatically add VLAN-tagged interface to the appropriate bridge VLAN is working.
Even the VLAN tag is missing in the CAP bridge wifi interfaces although it´s shown in the CAPsMAN:

hc_299.jpg

No VLAN tag on the bridge interfaces:

hc_301.jpg

And the dynamic created interfaces are shown in the bridge only if I add "dynamic" manually to the bridge.

MAC_ADDR@@wifi1 reauthenticating
MAC_ADDR@@wifi1 reauthenticating
MAC_ADDR@@wifi1 connected, but was associated
MAC_ADDR@@wifi1 disconnected, key handshake timeout, signal strength -44

mkx · Sat Apr 15, 2023 9:23 pm

CCMP is standard WPA2 encryption algorithm ... part of AES from WPA2. WPA3 added other algorithms, hence it's now shown explicitly in wave2 setup. I guess it's used if nothing is configured explicitly, in which case removal of this option won't make any difference.

I guess this is due to line endings. Try to end all commands with a semicolon to avoid this.

(Yes, some people here are against ending commands with semicolon... But there are good reasons to use them.)

As an alternative you can make sure to save the file with Windows line endings (not just line break, but also carriage return).

Would be nice if Winbox could work with Unix line endings in terminals as well. Fun fact: Winbox with Wine works as expected. 😝

@Ullinator see my post #114, dynamic port binding does not work in AX models at present.
If you want to get it to work you have to manually bind the wifi interface to the bridge using the correct vlan-id. Here's hoping Mikrotik get this sorted soon, they have an AX CAP device in production now, I am sure they need the firmware to support it. The current workarounds are not supportable at scale.

Winbox Terminal -> Error
SSH -> Works

reproduce in ros v7.7

I can reproduce this copy and paste error in windows 11 the script is being copy from notepad, i used notepad++ as a workaround

*) rose-storage - various stability fixes;

Likely worth mentioning specifically... but ROSE now seems to mount SMB in MacOS 13.3 in v7.9rc. That was not working in v7.8. Thanks!

I use a CHR as CAPsMANv3 with 7.9RC3 and a hAP AX2 as CAP with 3 SSID´s, two of them with VLAN tag (Guest and IoT).
But in none of my configs (I´ve tried several onces) the automatically add VLAN-tagged interface to the appropriate bridge VLAN is working.

The wifi interface is only automatically added to the appropriate bridge VLAN, when datapath.vlan-id is configured on the cAP.
We are yet to implement this functionality when datapath.vlan-id is only configured on the CAPsMAN.

device can't connect with wpa2-psk ccmp while it worked fine with ros 6.x on hap ac same config.

Does the issue persist if you set security.disable-pmkid to 'no'?
If so, please open a support ticket regarding this.

Hi FToms, the VLANs ARE added to the bridge:

but I can´t change the VLAN ID in a dynamic interface:

How should it work in your opinion?

Mon Apr 17, 2023 7:53 pm

Disable vlan bridging on ap bridge.
That's how it worked for me after feedback from support.

Yes same issue with or without disable-pmkid set.
Will open a ticket.

The fan control settings don't seem to do anything. I set a minimum fan percentage on my CCR2116-12G-4S+ (which I've upgraded to use PWM fans) but they still just stop when the temp goes a bit below 58 and then spin up loud again when it goes a few degrees over. I wonder if just swapping out the fans is enough to get the board to realise that it has pwm fans

The fan control settings don't seem to do anything.

On my CCR2116 with Noctua PWM fans.
I have confirmed that there are some levels of rpm.
0% = 0～3000 rpm (automatic?)
20% = 0～3000 rpm (same to above?)
40% = 3000～3500 rpm
60% = 4000～4500 rpm
100％ = 4700～5000 rpm

Not quite following you, can you elaborate a little?

Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:52 am

Apologies, bad wording from my side.
On AP device, disable VLAN filtering.
Winbox / Bridge / tab VLAN, uncheck VLAN Filtering.
This worked for me.

But I disabled that workaround and usage of capsman2 and will wait for a next version where this is implemented properly.

Hi holvoetn,
thank you very much! It´s totally strange, but it works now :-)
I have no idea how, but it does!

hc_514.jpg

"OS2WG AX Gast" is VLAN99 in my network and the client get´s the right IP, although the VLAN is not filtered on the CAP, really strange!

2.5Gbps Fixed rate on GPON SFP (Huawei MA5671A) works but PPPoE Scan is not working (shows no entries) was working on 7.7 stable on RB5009.

7.9rc3 still not work :(

Yeah, I don't know if the fan controller has some static RPM -> PWM% mapping, but I got some 250-6000 RPM fans and they don't really behave as I would expect them to. The change in RPM is not linear with the temperature target at all and the fan behaviour is very similar to how it was with non PWM fans with the RPM jumping from ~2.7k RPM to 5k RPM when the temp hits 59 (default target of 58). I tried setting a min fan speed percent of 10% and the fans turned off at around 55 degrees. I now have the min fan speed at 40% and they seem to be staying on at 2.7kish.

Any idea if Mikrotik will add support of TLS v1.3 to the SSTP server/client?!

Network5 · Fri Apr 21, 2023 11:50 am

IMPORT/EXPORT note:
When trying to import in 7.9rc3 the configuration from 7.8 there could be a syntax problem on /routing/bgp/vpn, the command line gets discarded.

/routing bgp vpn
add disabled=yes export-route-targets=xxx:1004 import-route-targets=xxx:1005 label-allocation-policy=per-vrf redistribute=connected route-distinguisher=xxx:1004 vrf=vrf-MPLS_TEST

In 7.9 some parameters seems changed (import., export.) and redistribute is missing from the parameters list:

/routing bgp vpn
add disabled=yes export.route-targets=xxx:1004 import.route-targets=xxx:1005 label-allocation-policy=per-vrf route-distinguisher=xxx:1004 vrf=vrf-MPLS_TEST

Is anyone haivng wireles issues with a hAP-ax3 and the last 7.9rc3? Wireless interfaces suddenly went down with no aparent reason or error on logs (both, not only 5Ghz, so it is not a DFS issue). The only particular thing of this equipment is that is setup with VLAN filtering (couple of vlans coming from ether1 and redristribute it in two wirless interfaces). When login into winbox, wifi interfaces looks fine, but all clients has been disconnected and SSID is not anounced. When reverting back to 7.8, issue seems to dissapear.

Thanks!

Pls add in PPP attribute Address-List over RADIUS Auth.
In MikroTik Specific RADIUS Attribute Numeric Values:
Mikrotik-Address-List 14988 (Mikrotik) 19 string
But it didn`t work.

PS Mikrotik-Group 14988 (Mikrotik) 3 string - work fine!

Looks like the DHCP options sequencing issue that broke Google Nest Doorbells has been reintroduced in 7.9. Please resolve!

bpwl · Sun Apr 23, 2023 12:22 pm

Disable VLAN filtering, or add the tagged VLAN needed to the wifiwave port ?

Confirmed this is indeed broken. DHCP failing for a multitude of devices in my environment with the "DHCP offering lease without success" log messages. It's happening to a multitude of devices, notably:

Google Nest Doorbell
enphase envoy Solar controller
All my Tasmota devices running Tasmota 12.4.x

I'm wondering about the same thing. Could supporting only old and obsolete cipher suites for SSTP be considered as a bug? Probably not :(

leonardogyn · Mon Apr 24, 2023 6:34 pm

No, it has not been fixed. Instant crashes due to high CPU utilization.

I'm also facing problems with OpenVPN on 7.8, and i really don't believe it's being triggered by high CPU usage. I'm facing that on a CCR1009 which barely exceeds 7-8%, so there's really a lot of spare CPU time and, even then, the problem is happening, just as described on several posts on the 7.8 release. Openvpn interface shows connected but doesn't flow traffic. Restarting the interface doesn't solve the problem, only rebooting the routerboard seems to solve it.

Haven't tried 7.9rc on the places i'm facing the problem, but not good hearing it's not fixed :(

The problem happens when a tunnel gets incorrectly disconnected (because the internet connection drops off or whatever reason). The router is not capable of killing the connection (that's why you see the interface still as "connected") and you cannot kill it either. A new dynamic interface is created but the old connection uses a full core from the CPU and, after some variable time, the router gets restarted.

Still no solution for this, and it seems neither for short or medium-term...

Rox169 · Tue Apr 25, 2023 2:47 pm
