MikroTik RouterOS v7

MikroTik RouterOS v7

Just a collection of changes/quirks I’m noticing so far in RouterOS v7 beta releases. I plan to keep this updated as I continue to play more with v7.

  1. When importing public keys you can now use password protected keys, but it deletes the key once it imports. This is a difference from v6 where you had to delete the key manually after importing or it would sit in “files”.
  2. Automation is going to be a little more difficult with v7 if using regex to scrape through commands. stdout seems to add a number of `\n` characters to the beginning of the return output. Also, many column headers have changed. This could introduce breaking changes to automation tasks once routers are upgraded.
