Documentation updates - July 21, 2026

Summary of documentation changes made on July 21, 2026.

Getting Started​

  • CHR and x86 Licensing: Documented account binding, trial expiration, and license transfer behavior for CHR and x86 licenses.

Hardware​

  • Disks: Documented SED and FSTRIM limitations on USB-attached drives, clarified swap-over-container behavior, corrected the disk trim description, and added the swap max size limit.
  • RouterBOARD: Cross-referenced the new minimum-firmware and minimum-version fields shown by resource print.

Diagnostics & Monitoring​

  • Resource: Documented the minimum-firmware and minimum-version fields shown by resource print.

Storage​

  • Self-Encrypting Drives: Noted an FSTRIM limitation when an SED is used behind a USB bridge.
  • RAID: Documented the /disk raid-scrub-cancel command.

Containers​

  • Container Apps: Documented how to select the web port used by a container app.

Documentation updates - July 20, 2026

Summary of documentation changes made on July 20, 2026.

Site​

  • Documentation versioning: The current documentation was frozen as version 7.24, which is now selectable from the version dropdown. Frozen versions are excluded from search engine indexing, and site search no longer returns duplicate hits from frozen versions for pages that still exist in the current documentation.

Authentication & AAA​

Wireless​

  • WiFi: Clarified the Network section — a /interface/wifi/network entry without labels applies to all interfaces, and the examples are now annotated as network and radio presets. The MLO example gained a security.passphrase value.

User Guides​

  • PIM-SM: Reworked the configuration examples. The basic example now splits the PIM interface template from a separate igmp-interface-template for the client-facing interface, so the PIM instance learns local group memberships. The static RP example replaces the loopback bridge with the built-in lo interface and adds IGMP querier configuration for R2 and R3.
  • IGMP proxy: Removed the quick-leave configuration example.

Hardware Guides​

  • hAP ax 2 and hAP ax 3: Renamed the hAP ax pages so page names match the products — the former hap-ax page is now hap-ax-3, and hap-ax-2 now holds the hAP ax 2 content. Existing bookmarks to the old hap-ax URL will need updating.
  • Wireless systems: Added product images from mikrotik.com to the LDF 5, SXT SA, and SXT SQ series pages, and to several LTE kit pages.
  • Hardware guides: WinBox download links across 176 device pages now use the mt.lv/winbox shortcut, and the default IP address 192.168.88.1 is now linked with an explicit https:// scheme.

Documentation updates - July 16, 2026

Summary of documentation changes made on July 16, 2026.

Authentication & AAA​

  • Certificates: Added the full list of built-in root certificate authorities, with organization, common name, and subject ID for each — covering Amazon, DigiCert, GlobalSign, Go Daddy, Sectigo, USERTrust, and ISRG roots. A separate table documents the reduced trust store on SMIPS devices (DigiCert Global Root G2, ISRG Root X1/X2, ISRG Root YE/YR). The list is also noted as accessible at /certificate/builtin/.

System​

  • Scheduler: Documented the days parameter, which restricts a task to specific days of the week (mon,wed,fri, or always). The property list was converted to a proper table and gained the policy parameter, start-time=startup is now documented on the start-time row, and a new example shows a task that runs only on business days. Also clarified how days, start-time, and interval interact.

Hardware​

  • RouterBOARD: Added a note that on-event scripts for the Mode, Reset, and WPS buttons execute with read,write,reboot,ftp,romon,test permissions.

Network Management​

  • DHCP: Filled in previously empty property descriptions for the DHCP client (custom-source-mac-address, custom-hostname-suffix, caps-managers) and the DHCP server (address-lists, use-reconfigure). Expanded add-dns-entries and add-dns-entries-suffix to explain how the FQDN is built from the client hostname, and added a note that the parent DNS zone must already exist — the DHCP server does not create it.

Getting Started​

  • x86 licensing: Added a FAQ entry on correcting a mistyped Software ID on a purchased key, with step-by-step instructions for the "Fix Software ID" option in the mikrotik.com account.
  • RouterOS licensing: Internal links across the licensing pages now use Docusaurus routes.

Hardware Guides​

  • Hardware guides: Fixed broken URLs, heading hierarchy, and table-cell headings across 80 switch and wireless system pages, and replaced remaining Confluence help links with Docusaurus routes.

Documentation updates - July 14, 2026

Bridging & Switching​

  • L3 hardware offloading: Documented hardware-offloaded VRF support. A new "Hardware-Offloaded VRF" section lists which switch chips support it (98DX8xxx, 98DX4xxx, 98DX325x, 98CX8410, 98DX7xxx) and which do not (98DX3xxx, 98DX2xxx), the per-chip VRF table limits (512 or 1024), interface-association rules, and VRF assignment on ingress traffic via the new-vrf option in /interface/ethernet/switch/rule. The Marvell Prestera switch chip features page gained a matching VRF entry.
  • Bridge: Added a "DHCP Snooping Binding Table" section describing the DHCPv4 snooping binding database built on top of /interface/bridge/host, including the dhcpv4-status, dhcpv4-ip, dhcpv4-server-id, and dhcpv4-expires-after fields, MAC–VLAN identification under VLAN filtering, and WinBox/console screenshots.

Containers​

  • Containers: Normalized the property table's type/default formatting, fixed numbered-list indentation that was rendering incorrectly, and corrected minor grammar.
