Not fixed yet as far as I know.

When I sent in info to Mikrotik on my crash 1072 they admitted it was something 
to do with connection tracking.

So what I’ve done and am doing, is moving all CGNAT/Connection tracking off of 
the 1072’s in my network and moving that to a 1036 or CHR.

You mean the 1072 issue, or the 1100AHx4 issue?

I think that was found and solved recently.

I think that was their answer on some 1100AHx4 units that would spontaneously 
and silently reboot.  Basically hope it was a bad batch, and the replacement 
wasn’t from the same batch.  Unfortunately in our case, we will often buy 
spares at the same time.

Haha - "Get a new one" .. only with MT.

like the 1072 has some kind of bug, or maybe a leaky cap, that eventually 
causes them to do this.  No matter of fiddling fixes it, we swapped out the 
unit and have not have the same issue since.  We have 1072s running 15gig 
inbound without issues.  So, while  I do attest that this is a MT (rather 
routeros) issue, we don’t have any data to know where it is unless the 
manufacture can tell us.  So far they are tight lipped.

Their support is behaving the same way exactly.  They told me to take the 
watchdog off and allow the internet to be frozen (downtime for all my 
customers) whenever it happens at any random point in the day/night while I 
rush to log into it with a serial cable.  The absurdity of it.  Luckily I told 
him from day one that I have a CONSOLE SERVER and that I log all the serial 
output of all my switches and routers.  But even though I told them that a 
couple times they still requested I plug in a serial cable and wait for it to 
freeze.  So I'm like .. hellooo there is a serial cable plugged in at all 
times!  I told him there is no output.  It just reboots.  I even humored him 
and turned the watchdog off and we had a reboot on the weekend while the cable 
was plugged in and the console was logged in.  I even had logging set to echo 
for a lot of things and nothing.. just a hard freeze.

There is no BGP on this one and the processor is not high leading up to the 
crash at all.  Updated 5 times already and its just a placebo.   They need to 
get their shit together.

This last year, I've seen a MikroTik CCR1072 switch from long being rock-solid 
to now having occasional random reboots (from watchdog) or 100% CPU usage, 
which strangles the BGP process. In the latter case, tools->profile would show 
the firewall taking 100% of CPU, even after temporarily disabling all firewall 
filter and NAT rules and connection tracking. Not fun.

MT tech support did not seem super helpful or interested, mostly recommending 
to disable watchdog (unacceptable on a production router) or to upgrade 
firmware (without specifying the suspected cause of the problem or nature of 
the fix).

Tried 1 update, that didn't seem to help, have now tried another...

MIkrotik has been rock solid for me for years.  Until this year and the 1072's. 
 Random reboots set off by watchdog timer on all of my 1072's.  Some more than 
others.  Threads in the forum all discuss the same problem exactly.  Its a 
connection tracking issue.. however I need connection tracking on one 
particular router.  I've adjusted everything I could.  Firmware and board 
firmware all up to date etc.  Happens randomly with low levels of traffic,  
high levels of traffic,  sometimes a couple times a day,  sometimes weeks.  No 
DDOS evidence at all from upstream routers.  Configs checked and rechecked by 
third party experts.  I graph everything about the Mikrotik and there are no 
clues or anything abnormal happening before the crash.  Plenty of memory, disk 
space,  CPU etc.    Replaces all the trannies, power cables and such.  Not 
running BGP only OSPF on the one that is giving me the most trouble.

Even have a serial console cable plugged into them to my opengear and set it to 
log pretty much everything to console including the kernel and nothing.  A hard 
freeze.

Then there is Mikrotik support...  I've never needed their support before until 
now.  So I put a ticket in and the shitty attitude I'm getting from them seems 
like they KNOW there is something wrong with the hardware and they are 
intentionally not being helpful.  It is pretty clear to see with all the people 
reporting this issue that there IS an issue.

If this is any indication of how things are going to go with Mikrotik on the 
newer hardware going forware I think its time to jump to an enterprise level 
system.  Juniper most likely.  Shame because they are just about keeping up 
with the demands with their hardware.  Getting closer to 100Gbps etc and ROS7 
... but at their current pace I think we've outgrew them.

All the threads discussing this issue has been absolutely quiet when it comes 
to Mikrotik jumping in to mention or try to help troubleshoot.  I think they 
know they had bad hardware out there and do not want to honor warranties.  I've 
heard rumors of bad batches of 1072's.

Anyone else encounter this?
