- プロビジョニング成功後に自動でプロファイルリストを更新
- MBIMモデムでeSIM存在検出機能を追加
- eSIMプロビジョニングをグローバルCRL証明書設定から除外し、より柔軟な運用が可能に
新規モデムサポート RG650E-EUモデムのパススルーサポートを追加しました。
運用面の改善
remove-sent-sms-after-sendオプションで送信済みSMSを自動削除可能に- SIM PINエントリステータスに関わらずICCIDを表示
- MBIMプロトコル経由のSMS送信安定性を向上
WiFi機能の改善
チャネル選択の最適化 クライアントがサポートしにくい5GHz帯チャネル(UNII-3-4)をデフォルトで避けるようになりました。これにより、接続性の問題が減少することが期待されます。必要に応じてchannel.deprioritize-unii-3-4で上書き可能です。
CAPsMAN関連 重要な設定変更時のみCAPsMANが再起動されるようになり、不要な再起動による接続断が減少しました。
その他の改善
- WiFiスキャンリストを拡大
- ステーションモードでの接続ループ問題を修正
- TR069サポートを追加
PoE機能の強化
CRS320でのUPSサポート CRS320でライン双方向型(line-interactive)とオフライン型(offline)UPSをサポートしました。
検出機能の改善
- デュアルシグネチャ検出を改善
- ショート回路検出と報告を改善
- すべてのクラスの最大電力マージンを増加
ファームウェア更新 802.3at/bt対応ボードのファームウェアを更新しました。更新時にPoE-Outインターフェースへの電源供給が一時的に中断されるため、計画的なメンテナンスが必要です。
IPv6関連の改善
NDプロキシング 個別アドレスのIPv6 NDプロキシングをサポートし、より柔軟なIPv6ネットワーク設計が可能になりました。
ルーティング改善 静的ルートでpref-srcが動作し、設定可能になりました。
WireGuard対応 WireGuardインターフェースのauto-link-local機能を修正しました。
システム・管理関連の改善
OpenFlow 1.3サポート OpenFlow 1.3のサポートを追加し、新しい「openflow」パッケージが利用可能になりました。SDN環境での活用が期待されます。
リソース管理の統合 /system/resource/usbと/system/resource/pciを/system/resource/hardwareに統合し、デバイスツリー形式で表示されるようになりました。これにより、ハードウェアリソースの把握がより直感的になりました。
WinBox関連
- 最小バージョンを3.42に引き上げ
- 多数の機能追加とUI改善を実施
- コンテナ、BGP、WiFiなど、新機能に対応するメニューを追加
WebFig改善 トークン認証を追加し、ページリロード時のパスワード入力が不要になりました。ログアウトボタンで関連セッションすべてがログアウトされ、セキュリティも向上しました。
コンソール改善
- スクリプト編集時にTAB文字をスペースに置き換え
- ファイル名補完と検証機能を追加
- 大きなテーブル表示時の視覚効果を改善
その他の注目すべき改善
VRRP機能拡張
- sync-connection-tracking用の詳細設定を追加
- proxy-arpサポートを追加
- フェイルオーバー時のTCP接続状態の問題を修正
VXLAN機能追加
- checksumとlearningプロパティを追加
vrf設定をvtep-vrfに名称変更し、より明確に
Sniffer改善 パケットをpcapng形式で保存し、インターフェース名、パケット方向、ナノ秒精度のタイムスタンプが含まれるようになりました。トラブルシューティングがより詳細に行えます。
PTP精度向上 タイムスタンプとパケット送信間の遅延を削除し、PTP精度を向上しました。RDS2216デバイスのPTPサポートも追加されています。
まとめ
RouterOS 7.20は、BGP、コンテナ、ブリッジ・MLAG、DHCP、ファイアウォールなど、多くに渡って大幅な機能強化が行われています。
- BGPのEVPNサポートとインスタンス機能 – より高度なネットワーク設計が可能に
- コンテナ機能の大幅な拡張 – メモリ管理、KVMサポート、ハードウェアアクセスなど実用的な機能を追加
- MLAG環境の安定性向上 – ホスト学習ロジックの改善により、より信頼性の高い運用が可能に
- ファイアウォールとコネクショントラッキングの改善 – マルチコア対応の強化とIPv4/IPv6の個別管理
- 管理ツールの使い勝手向上 – WinBox、WebFig、コンソールの多数の改善
本リリースは、エンタープライズ環境やサービスプロバイダー向けの機能が大幅に強化された印象です。特にBGP、コンテナ、MLAGを使用している環境では、アップグレードのメリットが大きいと考えられます。
アップグレードを検討される際は、本番環境への適用前にテスト環境での十分な検証をお勧めします。

アップグレード前には、必ずバックアップを取得し、Changelogを十分にご確認ください。



なお、同時にWinbox4にもbeta33がリリースされているのですが、こちらは今回のアップデートと関係するのか、「新しいウィンドウを開く」を有効にして接続しようとしても失敗する事象が発生しています。
Winbox3では問題は発生していません。
