Hi Team, I am interested in what the collective brains trust thinks about ROS v7 in production. It appears that the availability of CCR's that support V6 is dwindling and that V7 is the future. The question is: What has your experience with V7 been like and what type of env are you running it in? And are you ready for 100% v7?
I think it's pretty OK. I have not had any major dramas deploying it on new systems and I am starting to upgrade ROS6 systems to 7 - but we'll see how it goes. I am hanging out Long Term.

Hi Andrew, No hesitation now from me. Been running in production since January this year running BGP at the datacenter edge and core (CCR & CHR). The quality and cadence of releases and feature upgrades has been great and is now beyond parity with v6 for us, particularly around BGP Communities. Haven't experienced any issues whatsoever in our env and stability/uptime has been 100%. I'm a fan...

Hi Andrew, I second Dirk's remarks. We've been using ROSv7 in prod for the last 246 days and 7 hours since we updated it to ROSv7.6 (yes, we know v7.11 is available) and it hasn't skipped a beat. Filters were a little bit tricky, however we eventually got it working. Truth be told (I'd have to trawl through my e-mails) I believe it was Dirk who gave me some pointers in regard to how to get it sorted. ROSv7 has my vote.

Hi, I have been running 3 production networks of similar size to below, and everything has been peachy. - 2xCHR in a VDC with VRRP for failover - Connected to 10-12 branch sites - Everything running Wireguard and OSPF and a bit of EoIP Andy -----Original Message----- From: Public <public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au> On Behalf Of Andrew Gilbett Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 9:34 AM To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: [MT-AU Public] ROS V7 Hi Team, I am interested in what the collective brains trust thinks about ROS v7 in production.

Only problem I had was where I upgraded a CHR VM in the datacentre but didn't upgrade the customer's routers. OSPF stopped working between v7 and v6. -----Original Message----- From: Public <public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au> On Behalf Of Andrew Gilbett Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 9:34 AM To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: [MT-AU Public] ROS V7 Hi Team, I am interested in what the collective brains trust thinks about ROS v7 in production.

OSPF between v6 and v7 had some issues but I think they were sorted a while back. But some aspects of OSPF config are so different that you will run in to gotchas. I’ve been waiting for BFD, and while it’s finally in there I’d like to see a few releases with it before trusting my network to it. Also +1 vote for waiting for long term releases. I really don’t want to be chasing version changes constantly and enough little things keep changing at the moment that I’d hate to stay too far behind and then have to deal with a number of version jumps in one go when there’s a security update. Where I am running it at home and on one customer network site I’d say it’s ahead of v6 for the areas I’ve dealt with. Cheers, Andrew
