Hey Guys,
I ran an experiment to upgrade a ROS6 box to ROS7 to see what it looks like and found at least the following things:
1 - route "check" tracking doesn't seem to work?
2 - no-exports set on routes towards EBGP peers are interpreted rather than forwarded - so you can't signal to EBGP peers to no-export your routes from outside of their ASN anymore.
3 - it appears that the route policy conversion bugs out if one of the entries is disabled so you have to be prepared to fix any entries that are missing.
4 - you can no longer set the ASN of a route being advertised. (would need to update RPKI information)
5 - non-synchronous network statements are gone, so you can't easily send scrub communities via BGP anymore (because a legit route now has to exist in table).
1,2 and 3 feels like bugs, the rest I'm not sure why the functionality was removed.
Anyone successfully spoken to MikroTik about what their thought process was with the changes? (I opened a ticket for 2 and it was ignored.)
Thanks
Tim
