I think it would be (for other reasons as well) worthwile to have the possibility to pause the updates (e.g. holding down mouse button long enough so that updates come in that have to be displayed frequent updates (busy router where counters in the firewall or connection table are updating all the time) a table with quite some entries (firewall with > 200 rules, large connection table) IMHO the following is required to reproduce the behavior: When the problem is present, that results in erratic column width, which is at least not as dangerous as erratic movement of firewall rules! To test if a new version is affected, I try to drag the column width in such a screen. They are aware of the problem, hopefully a fix is coming.įor me it appeared to be solved but it again came back.
#WIN BOX MIKROTIK MOVIE#
I have submitted that to support including a screen capture movie of the problem. Until it is fixed, as you said, it's dangerous and practically not usable.
It's not reproducible 100%.īut the issue IS there for us that are affected. I can see why MikroTik might ignore this.
#WIN BOX MIKROTIK PC#
I don't know if it's something on the local PC that causes it, or something about the number of rules on the router. The other day I was using Winbox on a colleague's PC and I noticed that there it didn't exhibit this behavior. This behavior is quite dangerous, as some accept rule might "slip" below a drop rule and you lose connection to the router, so that you can't take it back. I'm writing "still" because I've read this problem somewhere else already a while ago and it doesn't seem to be new with v3.27. It seems to only happen when a rule is opened somewhere, at least for me. When you're dragging a rule, it jumps to the very bottom of the list every second (on each window refresh). As long as a rule detail window is open, the list itself will not let you drag and drop rules properly. an "autosave in disconnect" checkmark that saves the session when the connection is abruptly terminated (of course not possible when session saved on router)įirewall and Bridge Filter rules lists are still misbehaving. possibility to store the session file on the router instead of on the local computer
#WIN BOX MIKROTIK MANUAL#
(I know that you can just copy a session file but that is a manual operation that has to be done carefully and is easily forgotten when connecting to a new router) a "save as default" which is then used for new connections that have session, maybe a different one per Group.
It would be helpful to have some documentation and some more features around the session mechanism: The whole concept of "saved sessions" is not very clear to many new users and it isn't really explained in the manual either. No a session is not a connection! A session is the winbox term for a saved set of UI settings (like open windows, selected columns, column width, etc) Refer to Mikrotik's official documentation if you need assistance with RouterOS installation.It should open a new winbox window where you can select a new session. Even better, check out this simple installer script.
#WIN BOX MIKROTIK HOW TO#
Although Winbox is not officially supported on our platform (or Linux in general), the steps in this guide demonstrate how to install it on Ubuntu and other distributions by using Wine. Refer to Mikrotik's official () if you need assistance with RouterOS installation. If you've already done this part and it's still not working, the solutions in these threads might be helpful.
