When you run the following command, "interface/wifi/capsman/remote-cap/print", one of the fields you get back is "state". I've looked through the Mikrotik documentation and haven't found what kind of information this gives you. All of the caps I have just say "ok". Woul...

It looks like the intention is to go from a serial port on a UPS to a USB port on a router. For routers that only have a console port, is it possible to make a cable to go from the UPS Rj45(RJ50) serial port to the Mikrotik RJ45 console port and have that work? We're looking to replace/install a bun...

In the second sentence he literally says that the local interfaces will not participate in roaming. For context, I was asking about having 1 ax2 as the main router and having another ax2 being a cap. That's fine though, roaming working across APs managed by the same instance of RouterOS is great new...

Strange, Mikrotik support said this:

Controller can not control local interfaces via CAPsMAN - yes, only remote cAP control is possible.
Local interfaces, will not be the part of cAP network, and will not participate in the roaming between the APs.

I'm working on a project that configures home routers (at least at first) and makes it so the support staff can change wireless settings, port forwarding, dhcp reservations, etc from a dashboard. The idea is that no one has to really know all the details of Mikrotik configuration because the program...

I've been using RouterOS-api for a while now but I see there is also laiarturs-ros-api. It appears to be less used but newer. It also seems simpler. Here are a couple examples: import routeros_api connection = routeros_api.RouterOsApiPool('192.168.28.1', 'admin', 'goodpassword', plaintext_login=True...

For an unfortunate update, I just checked with Mikrotik Support and they say capsman will still not manage the local interfaces. I asked if they plan on fixing that and haven't gotten a response yet. Old capsman didn't really have roaming though, right? My assumption is that using capsman for remote...

Hold on here. Using the API, there is no "find" anywhere (at least since 2009)... See https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=29173 Ah, I could see "find" not existing for the API making find not work. Thank you. I originally wrote an application that used SSH for everything ...

Also, is there a better way to get the interface speed? This would be 48 separate requests for a 48 port switch. A fast way is to use: snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.88.1 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed Thank you for this. It looks like I can run ifDescr to find out which interface I'm look...

I am trying to use the API to get the speed of the ethernet interfaces. I am running the monitor command once for each interface because I don't think there's an easier way (easier being less requests). When I try to use find to get ether1, I get this: 'Error "no such item" executing comma...

Kid-control doesn't seem to give accurate bandwidth usage information. I'm using 7.10 on an hap ac2 as a test. When I run a speedtest on my computer, I get about 100Mbps down and about 45Mbps up. Kid control is showing about 30Mbps down and kbps up. Is anyone else having the same issue? Does it seem...

I just ordered 2 of the PWR Line Pros to test them out and I'm not able to get them to sync. I tried using different outlets throughout the house (plugging them directly into the outlets) and at this point I just have them both plugged into the same power strip. I have tried holding the sync button ...

It looks like the MPLS ECMP coming in v7 is really what I'm looking for. I just don't know how long it will be until Mikrotik adds it. I'm assuming there isn't any information about that? I don't believe there's a roadmap. I have about 1/3 Mikrotik switches and the rest vendors which don't support b...

I currently have a network that is routed using OSPF and intend on enabling MPLS and using BGP to send public traffic over MPLS-TE's. I have many sites where I have 2 radio links as backhaul to aggregate bandwidth. Currently, I have LACP enabled to balance traffic based on layer 3+4. When I enable M...

I've been trying to get TE with auto bandwidth adjustment to work but I ran into a couple problems. 1. The Traffic Engineering Interface never shows traffic even when there's traffic on it. 2. When using auto bandwidth settings, the rate measured last field works until the first update interval. Aft...

I'm having the same problem with the Device Name setting to the IP address of the Device instead of using the SNMP information. I was thinking I could be doing something wrong but maybe this bug just hasn't been fixed in the last 3 years? Does this feature seem to work for anyone else yet?

Well shucks. That adds about 23 grand to the project. I guess I'll need to rethink the whole thing.

Would I be able to pay you to go over this design in a little more detail with me?

I work for a WISP and we currently have public networks sub-netted all over and we're running low on public IPs. I plan on switching the network to Mikrotik from Cisco, having larger /22 or so sized subnets and giving sites access to them by using MPLS/VPLS. It sound like this is becoming more popul...

That was it. Thank you so much for the quick reply.

Hello, I'm setting up a test lab to look at changing the WISP for which I am an engineer from Cisco to Mikrotik. I'm trying to figure out how to make vlans work in RouterOS and have been running into a lot of problems. Currently all I'm trying to do is set up a vlan interface, assign an ip address t...
