Routing filters are also a work in progress. In general, MPLS and VPLS works between ROSv6 and ROSv7 Be sure to review the syntax pre and post upgrade as well as the operation state and be prepared to delete and re-add the configuration as needed if MPLS is not functional post upgrade. Like the other protocols it has gotten better but still may need adjustments since it now includes the AFIs for IPv4 and IPv6 with LDP. Upgrading to v7 for OSPF normally works without issue or intervention.

Interface templates have replaced network statements to advertise prefixes and form neighbor adjacencies, so be sure to look in that menu after upgrade to work with network statements in v7. OSPF has come a long way in RouterOS v7 and is stable as well as interoperable with RouterOSv6. Note the changes below to the structure of BGP menus and peerings as it has changed. For the most part, it works without intervention but occasionally config will need to be removed and readded or edited. Upgrading to v7 – RouterOS – MikroTik DocumentationīGP config migration has gotten better in the last few versions of v7. MikroTik added a helpful chart to the support docs that shows what config is automatically upgraded and what needs to be manually adjusted. – A method to netinstall is available in case the upgrade fails for any reason

– Console access is working (if applicable) – The config is backed up using ‘export’ and ‘backup’ and the files have been moved off the router One of the common questions asked by MikroTik users is how to go about upgrading from ROSv6 to ROSv7.
