I'm looking to drop these "rejected" routes from memory/routing table; however I'm unable to figure out how to do so. We're only running OSPF, not BGP. Could anyone provide a brief example of how to prevent these rejected routes from showing up in our routing table at all, regardless of it...

Is there a way to enable/disable particular notifications via the terminal of a RouterOS device hosting theDude package/server. I'm looking for something like: /dude notification disable number=5 /dude notification enable number=5 This would be beneficial to us as we'd like to script turning notific...

SOLVED:
I found an error in the wiki. DD command needs an input file specified. The following code,

unzip chr-6.44.5.img.zip | dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M

Should be:

There is a difference when using 802.11 or nv2 wireless protocol. nv2 allows a longer radio name

Thank you! That makes sense. I appreciate the help.

Thanks folks!

O1DMBFan

network devices names are meant to be brief networking devices are not the place to storage all you client information use ms-excel or a software to do that Radio names are meant to store whatever we want. Let's not discuss "what to store in radio-names" but instead discuss what may be ca...

I wish it was that simple. See attached:

Hello and thank you for taking the time, I've got a BaseBox5 running v6.41.1 with 22 clients.

I'm curious about channel width in the following scenario: CPE/Client: mode=station band=20/40mhz-Ce AP: mode=ap-bridge band=20mhz My question, will the Client operate within 20MHz because of the AP settings? Or will it operate in 40Mhz regardless of AP setti...

Buy international version instead. Thanks for the reply. Our distributors (US based) do not carry the international versions.

Hello Friends, Thanks for taking the time. We're finding it necessary to move away from the LHG5's because they're being shipped with only one configurable country: united states3. I understand the need to ensure FCC regulations are met, I'm only looking to change this from "united states3"...

Wow, another forum post that is 2 pages long, several firmware revisions later and the problem still exists.

So everyone knows when you get a device from the manufacturer and you first log into it, a message appears stating that this is the default configuration hit remove script to reset this device, or something to that affect.

Same problem RB800 5.11. It's the only board on our dude without SNMP details. Please advise.

O1DMBFan

I don't have every client on the dude. This would be excessive. I only have a few of the best signaled cpe's. Thanks for the suggestion but I'd really like to setup RouterBoards to check for an update somewhere on my network and then update if applicable. Any other options?

O1DMBFan

Bump.

So if this cannot be answered what are some ways I can have all of my CPE's upgrade automatically to the most stable version of RouterOS?

O1DMBFan

So I've seen the Wiki showing how to use the Auto Upgrade feature in RouterOS but it points to a router. Can I have it point to theDude and drop firmware in the dude or a windows server and have it check that in order to update the firmware. If someone could show me an example of how to do this that...

I have no undo available. The Tools>Layout command is also unsuccesful. I believe the reason may be that I have no submaps at all. If you look under submaps there is only Local and 'Sterling' which is one I added as a test. The worst part is I can't even edit the current local map. I can't add subma...

O1DMBFan

Update: After looking around further in The Dude, I've found that all the devices are still there with their data. They are listed under the devices panel. The problem lies within the local map and submaps. That's what is wiped clear. As well as my charts but those are not nearly as important. Any h...

O1DMBFan

It's 3.5. Yes restoring all of the files results in the same exact scenario as before restoring. Default password. Missing devices, submaps... everything.

O1DMBFan

So with no changes to the server itself the Dude just stopped allowing access. It kept reporting invalid username and password. I tried all of our usernames and passwords with no luck. I then tried the default admin with no password and it logged me in with no devices. My entire network was missing....

O1DMBFan

No Luck. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I have severall different RB600's with RouterOS v4.6 on it. These devices have Virtual AP's. I can create and remove these VAP's but cannot edit them.

I'm having a heck of a time finding any resources that can help me learn the basics of creating custom probes. I'm completely unfamiliar with the code the dude uses to do functions/probes. Since I can't find any tutorials or a reference of keywords and abilities I have nowhere to start. Could anyone...

O1DMBFan

Yea as soon as it happened I created the batch. Thanks for the info anyways. It's no big deal. I should have had a backup. It won't take too much work. Day or two. Thanks for thelp.

O1DMBFan

My backup xml file shows none of my devices or changes I've made. The high-latency was there but after removing it all i had was a blank configuration with no high-latency probe.

O1DMBFan

Help! I pasted that code into an XML file then imported the XML file. It hung up so I restared the dude service on my server and now the probe is there but my entire map is gone!

O1DMBFan

Great! Thanks so much. I have just a couple more questions.

First off where do I go about pasting in this XML code?

Secondly, is there a tutorial or wiki on writing code for the dude?

O1DMBFan

I am new to the dude and have read the wiki and researched on this forum and unable to figure out how to configure my dude to send a notification with ping times to a device raise above a certain amount (example: indicating interference). Could anyone help me out with this?

O1DMBFan

This is really plagueing my network. If someone could please help as soon as possible! I've even put in static routes and it bugs out and still wont work.

O1DMBFan

I don't have the option of downgrading back to v3.x. I've replaced one of my interfaces with an N card. Anything prior to v4 doesn't support N and will not even recognize the interface. Does anyone have a solution for this?

O1DMBFan

So ever since I upgraded some of my RB600's from 3.x to 4.x I've been having some OSPF issues. Other than the upgrade nothing on the network has changed. Randomly one of my devices will drop a route and it doesn't come back until I disable the local interface. It only happens on the 4.5 and 4.6 devi...

O1DMBFan

Is there is a place that counts the amount of wireless retransmits each interface has had?

O1DMBFan

Tom - I must be a little confused on how those cards convert channels then. The 'slip of paper' that comes with the cards stats that the conversion is a 2ghz off set. In this case how would 5770 convert to 3663? We did get this to work but it was by changing the country code to austria.

Thanks,

I just put 2.9.51 on a WRAP board and used hyperterminal to configure the IP on ether1 and then logged in to configure the rest. But in winbox nothing is popping up in the connect to ... box. Is there something I need to enable in order for this device to be "discoverable"?
