I cannot re-open my older ticket once again, but I do not see any changes about including fixing bridge/passthrough feature in the latest release RutOS 7.06.12 for legacy RUT240.
These fixes are key feature for me, that were patched allready with newer 7.07 that RUT240 will not get, but such improvements/fixes should be also included with 7.6.x version too.
@AndzejJ explained me that: The bridge/passthrough fix you mentioned is planned to be included in the v7.06.12 firmware.
but in fact they were not included untill these days, once I checked 2024.06.20 in global changelog for RUT2_R_00.07.06.12.
As far as I am aware, the fixes were merged and should be available in v7.06.12. Perhaps the other team did not include this information in the global changelog. Could you please test one of the RUT240 devices with version 7.06.12 to see if the issue still occurs?
I allready upgraded my RUT240 unit to version 7.06.12 and tested Passthrough - it doesn’t work correctly, still passthrough feature have remaining bugs with blocking (not flushing) MAC Address in ARP table.
While upgrading I set “Keep settings”, so maybe I will wipe out current config to factory reset and try once again from scratch set everything. I will check within 1-2 days and return to make 100% sure, but for this moment I can tell it was still not working.
However, I lost backup file for fixed firmware correction from helpdesk with version “RutOS RUT2_T_F13449_00.07.06.65” and now I cannot return to missing developer software and posses only global public stable software 7.06.12 which I believe does not include it.
Anyway, I will check it and return with information.
AndzejJ, I have to apologize to you and cancel my earlier words.
After I reset to factory settings setup everytihing one more time, Passthrough works finally great and smooth without any hanging up and complaining.
Please chase other Team to include information in global changelog that RutOS 7.6.12 also includes fixes like below, it will be beneficial for other people:
Mobile: updated bridge/passthrough mode logic to flush ARP and add static ARP entry if MAC is specified
Mobile: added metric to default gateway when using passthrough mode
Now, reason why I complained was my fault - I switched in mobs1a1 interface “Subnet selection” from: AUTO (default) into P2P (which not works with my scenario it forces to use mask /31 not /30 I mention in the other ticket).
Anyway, after switching it to AUTO it works great.
Sorry for inconvenience and fault accusation.
This ticket can be closed. I will also update my other ticket to finally enclosure process it.
