MikroTik RouterOS v6.43 [current] publicado

Esta disponible para actualizar la rama current del RouterOS a la versión v6.43, la cual trae una lista grande de agregados y arreglos que los listaremos a continuación.

Hay que tener precaución al actualizar, porque hay un cambio en el proceso de autenticación via API, que hará que la mayoría de los sistemas de facturación o sistemas que utilicen API dejen de funcionar hasta tanto no se actualicen.

Otro de los cambios o agregados que se tiene nivel de bridge, es el soporte de Q-in-Q, DHCP Snooping y DHCP option 82, funcionalidades que eran solicitadas por los usuarios del sistema operativo.

La funcionalidad a nivel de DHCP server para crear queues dual-stack será de gran utilidad para quienes estén utilizando este método para brindar conectividad tanto IPv4 como IPv6.
