Thanks for the response. Reading the API notes https://pypi.org/project/RouterOS-api/ I'd missed the note about using underscores. NOTE: Attributes with -, like max-limit use underscore _: max_limit Following works OK. list_queues.add(queue="UnlimUp/UnlimDown", target=ipaddress, place_befo...

i'm looking to place new simple queue items after the first rule. Mikrotik CLI works fine. /queue simple> add name="TEST" target=192.168.1.66/32 parent=none queue=UnlimUp/UnlimDown comment="test" place-before="1" Python code works fine until I add place-before Python co...

Super frustrating that our CCR2004's are just bricks until BFD is implemented.

Hi,

Using BFD to reduce OSPF convergence times.

I have UDP ports 3784 and 4784 from unknown sources blocked in the firewall but I'm still getting errors in log file..
Could you advise what port(s) require blocking to prevent this?

Seems to be a workaround...

Hi folks, I'm trying to disable/enable an IP address via a script but ignore it if the IP address is already in the correct state. However, I'm getting an issue if I nest the If statements. if ([/ping 172.16.1.1 interface=ether2 interval=1 count=3] = 0) do={ :if ([ /ip address get [find address=&quo...

Seasons greeting Mikrotik. If you're going to do a mUPS hardware refresh at some point in the future, can you consider a low voltage disconnect feature? At the moment we add an in-line one with the battery(s) but it would be a much nicer product if one were included. As it can already detect when th...

Not sure if our Latvian friends can solve this issue or if Microshoft are completely at fault but we predominantly use hAP lites as CPEs. We narrowed port flapping issues to XBOX users. It would appear that when they go into standby they cause the port on the hAP lites to flap. I'm not sure if this ...

Hindsight. I'll experiment with PTMP OSPF next time I'm deploying a tower as it appears easier to config and reduces the amount of hello traffic (not that it's a huge concern). Did a bit more digging. The priority explanation for NBMA is in here but not on their main OSPF manual. https://wiki.mikrot...

Probably something obvious but I'd been tearing my hair out. I have Mikrotik routers on towers connected via bridged radios. To reduce broadcast traffic I have OSPF running with NBMA. If a router boots up, everything was fine and working. However, if the link drops for whatever reason and OSPF goes ...

Hope they update the PowerBOX with this chipset (and squeeze the RB3011 into small RB2011IL-IN case)

That is hardly LTS. LTS is supposed to last years. I don't think it makes much sense for RouterOS. It's all relative. 6 months of supporting a stable release is much longer than the current "install and hope" scenario. The newer the version, the more risk. If you don't want/need to run bl...

They're disabled anyway. I only used them temporarily whilst converting network from bridged to routed.

6.29 and 6.30.2 had major problems for me. 4 days ago I upgraded about 10 towers (some bridged, some routed, some a bit of both ;-) to 6.30.4 as a last ditch attempt before facing the prospect of dropping them back to 6.7.. So far so good. 6.30 should be equivalent to LTS. Having a list of "kno...

I'm not sure what I'm missing but I can't seem to get fastpath working on RB750GL. ROS 6.30.4 I have simply bridged the interfaces. Fastpath is checked under IP services No firewall rules. Connection tracking is off. No queues All the other conditions under http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Fast_...

Ok, I'm struggling a bit to get my head around fastrack. If I have a tower router with a fairly typical setup, can I use fasttrack on certain interfaces? If so, what's the most efficient method? Simple input filter to stop unathorise access add action=drop chain=input src-address-list=!tik_admins Po...

Seems a strange way of doing it. Why would you want to bridge you wan ports?

Set your default route (0.0.0.0/0) to your primary wan and do the same to your backup wan with a higher distance cost. Then just src nat.

That way you can also put specific routes or services over your backup wan

Seems to be working for me. Thanks guys.

/system logging
set 0 disabled=yes
add topics=interface
add topics=dhcp
add topics=firewall
add topics=route

Ok, I'll try the latter. I was trying it the other way by adding a specific topic and disabling it but of course it just ignored the disabled rule ...doh!

Is there any way to ignore a logging action. Specifically I've got billing software that logs into routerboards every 5 minutes via the API and SSH. Bit of pain having to trawl through the log file to see "real" errors.

On your router with the customer's bridge port, you could try changing the settings on edge from "auto" to "yes". This may tell your router to ignore the BPDUs coming from that port. Thank you. Seems to have worked. Router with root bridge quickly came back "Error discardin...

I have a bridged customer with a device sending out rSTP. They have a dedicated port on the Mikrotik router at our tower and all the ports on the Mikrotik are currently bridged (I'm working my way through routing the network but it's a long process and occasionally involves visiting far away custome...

Include the frequencies you want in the scan list.

Win XP home so can't be UAC. Any ideas anyone?
