14 DAY TRIAL // MikroTik has made available a new firmware package targeted at all of its routers, switches, access points, and other devices, namely the 6.20 stable version, which allows using files larger than 4GB and supports FQDN as an IPsec ID.
In addition to that, the new release adds compatibility with the SMSC750x USB Gigabit Ethernet device, allows using certified SCEP fingerprints for transaction IDs, and increases the PPPoE connection timeout so that busy PPPoE servers can still be accessed.
If version 6.20 is applied, the EoIP/EoIPv6 (Ethernet over IP/IPv6), GRE/GRE6 (Generic Routing Encapsulation), IPIP/IPIPv6 (IP in IP/IPv6), and 6to4 (IPv4 to IPv6) tunnels will be able to make use of the Auto MTU, DSCP, TCP MSS clamping, and “Don’t Fragment” features.
Moreover, the new update allows IPsec to bind modeconf address to username, as well as UPS to perform selftest, and changes the DHCP server’s lease time from 3 days to 10 minutes so that running out of IPs won’t be a problem in the future.
Last but not least, MikroTik also adds and enables by default Auto MTU support (Maximum Transmission Unit) for bridge connections, as well as for the PPPoE server.
Therefore, in order to make use of these changes, download MikroTik Router Firmware 6.20 for the appropriate device model and architecture, apply the package, and enjoy your newly improved network unit.
