I think you're asking if your setup scripts (either hand-coded or exported) from pre-6.42 routers will import on post-6.42 routers. Depending on what features you use, the answer is no. I have seen changes in the CLI generated for master/slave ethernets and bridges, as expected, but there were also incompatible changes in /tool mac-server in 6.41, and I think one other place I can't recall now. In all cases, CLI scripts generated before and after the boundary release are refused by routers running releases on the other side of the boundary. In general, MT isn't user-friendly about later versions accepting earlier scripts, even when they could do so easily (e.g., the additional field in /ip firewall filter limit=… in 6.34, made mandatory for no apparent reason). Of course, they did a pretty good job of converting the configuration of a router to the new format during the upgrade process, but that doesn't help your stored scripts. > On Aug 20, 2018, at 12:09 PM, Sam Morris via Mikrotik-users > <mikrotik-users@wispa.org> wrote: > > We have a number of devices to upgrade from 6.35 to 6.42.
