Notes
| Warning |
|---|
The routing protocol configuration upgrade is triggered only once. This means that if a router was downgraded to ROSv6, the configuration was modified and the router got upgraded back to ROSv7, then the resulting configuration is the one that was present before the downgrade. To re-trigger v6 configuration conversion, load ROSv6 backup with the option |
BGP
Anchor bgp bgp
All known configurations will upgrade from 6.x to 7.x sucessfullysuccessfully. But keep in mind that there is a complete redesign of the configuration. v7 BGP implementation provides with connection, template and session menus.
Template contains all BGP protocol-related configuration options. It can be used as a template for dynamic peers and apply a similar config to a group of peers. Most of the parameters are similar to the previous implementation except that some are grouped in the output and input section making the config more readable and easier to understand whether the option is applied on input or output.

All known configurations will upgrade from 6.x to 7.x sucessfullysuccessfully.
OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 are now merged into one single menu /routing ospf. At the moment there ano are no default instances and areaareas. To start OSPF you need to create an instance and then add are to the instance.
...
Upgrade MPLS setups with caution, and make sure to backup configuration before the upgrade.
Routing filters
Anchor routingfilters routingfilters
All supported options are upgraded without any issue, in the case of an unsupported option - an empty entry is created. The routing filter configuration is changed to a script-like configuration.
...
Anchor user manager user manager
RouterOSv7 provides with the new and redesigned implementation of User Manager, configuration now is integrated into RouterOS WinBox and console, more information is available here. Direct migration from older User Manager is not possible, it is possible to migrate older database from /user-manager/database/migrate-legacy-db However, it might be a good idea to start configuration for from the scratch.
New features
New Kernel is implemented in RouterOSv7, that lead to performance changes due to route cache, as well some tasks might require higher CPU and RAM usage for different processes.
