MikroTik RouterOS v6.30 publicado

La reciente publicación de la versión v6.30 del RouterOS hace un par de horas atrás ha traído gran expectativa en cuanto a su desempeño. Esta versión viene desde hace algunas semanas en testing con usuarios que la han estado probando hasta llegar a este release.

Esta versión viene cargada de nuevas funcionalidades además de algunos arreglos:

Como principales agregados tenemos el soporte de WMM Power Save para dispositivos móviles que permitirán el ahorro de la batería en los smartphone que soporten WMM. El agregado de encriptación IPSec para EoIP, GRE, IPIP entre algunos para la fácil configuración de seguridad en estos protocolos.

También hay una mejora a nivel inalámbrico en AC que permite la coexistencia con otros clientes wireless optimizando los tiempos de aire para no interferirse entre si.

El listado completo de cambios es:

What's new in 6.30 (2015-Jul-08 09:07):

*) wireless - added WMM power save suport for mobile devices; 
*) firewall - sip helper improved, large packets no longer dropped;
*) fixed encryption 'out of order' problem on SMP systems;
*) email - fix sending multiple consecutive emails;
*) fixed router lockup on leap seconds with installed ntp package;
*) ccr - made hardware watchdog work again (was broken since v6.26);
*) console - allow users with 'policy' policy to change script owner;
*) icmp - use receive interface address when responding with icmp errors;
*) ipsec - fail ph2 negitioation when initiator proposed key length
   does not match proposal configuration;
*) timezone - updated timezone information to 2015e release;
*) ssh - added option '/ip ssh stong-crypto'
*) wireless - improve ac radio coexistence with other wireless clients, optimized 
    transmit times to not interfere with other devices;
*) console - values of $".id", $".nextid" and $".dead" are avaliable for
    use in 'print where' expressions;
*) console - ':execute' command now accepts script source in "{}" braces,
    like '/system scripts add source=' does;
*) console - ':execute' command now returns internal number of running job,
    that can be used to check and stop execution. For example:
      :local j [:execute {/interface print follow where [:log info "$name"]}]
      :delay 10s
      :do { /system script job remove $j } on-error={}
*) console - firewall 'print' commands now show all entries including
    dynamic, 'all' argument now has no effect;
*) ipsec - increase replay window to 128;
*) fixed file transfer on devices with large RAM memory;
*) pptp - fixed "encryption got out of sync" problem;
*) ppp - disable vj tcp header compression;
*) api - reduce api tcp connection keepalive delay to 30 seconds,
   will timeout idle connections in about 5 minutes;
*) pptp & l2tp & sstp client: support the case were server issues its tunnel
   ip address the same as its public one;
*) removed wireless package from routeros bundle package,
   new wireless-fp is left in place and wireless-cm2 added as option;
*) pptp & l2tp client: when adding default route, add special exception route for
   a tunnel itself (no need to add it manually anymore);
*) improved connection list: added connection packet/byte counters,
   added separate counters for fasttrack, added current rate display,
   added flag wheather connection is fasttracked/srcnated/dstnated,
   removed 2048 connection entry limit;
*) tunnels - eoip, eoipv6, gre,gre6, ipip, ipipv6, 6to4 tunnels
   have new property - ipsec-secret - for easy setup of ipsec
   encryption and authentication;
*) firewall - added ipsec-policy matcher to check wheather packet
   was/will be ipsec processed or not;
*) possibility to disable route cache - improves DDOS attack
   handling performance up to 2x (note that ipv4 fastpath depends on route cache);
*) fasttrack - added dummy firewall rule in filter and mangle tables
   to show packets/bytes that get processed in fasttrack and bypass firewall;
*) fastpath - vlan interfaces support fastpath;
*) fastpath - partial support for bonding interfaces (rx only);
*) fastpath - vrrp interfaces support fastpath;
*) fixed memory leak on CCR devices (introduced in 6.28);
*) lte - improved modem identification to better support multiple identical modems;
*) snmp - fix system scripts table;
