This is great. Thank you all. Total number of leases is sufficient for my purposes, though I can certainly see a use case for getting the totals of each pool (and count of pools) if the RouterOS devs are ever bored (unlikely). Next question: Is there a way to get a count of "available" dhc...

The following will disable itself and reboot your router at 3am.

/system scheduler add name=reboot start-time=03:00:00 on-event="{/system scheduler set [find name=reboot] disabled=yes;\n\
:execute script=\"/system reboot\";}"

re-enable as needed.
Tested on v7.11.2

What is the disadvantage to using masquerade over src-nat if you have a static?

LaZyLion

In addition to having RouterOS as the vpn server, could we all use Mikrotiks as the vpn clients? Is there a limitation to how many clients one could setup with this? Having a public IP on the server isn't an issue for us, but I like the simplicity of Zerotier for setup and management. I would love t...

LaZyLion

Hi all The Zerotier client allows adding static routes but only to the main routing table. It would be nice to specify a different routing table on the Zerotier interface tab. This would make handling marked routing-table traffic much easier as one could update routes en-mass from the Zerotier porta...

Not OP but I'll add on to this. Not everybody uses their routers the same way so it doesn't really matter what the point of doing it is. The point is to learn how to do it. In my case I'm going to have a lot of these routers in the field and I don't want to have to log into each of them individually...

LaZyLion

Thank you Sib! This had been driving me crazy for over an hour. For future me googling: interface/lte/monitor lte1 once will get you the list of available item names (called keys) and values. To extract a specific key: :put ([interface/lte/monitor lte1 once as-value ]->"imei") or :local lt...

We have spent an incredible amount of money on Ciena switches for OAM and have to add Edgerouters or Vyos instances for routing.
RouterOS handles QinQ well enough, but if it had OAM features it would greatly simplify our lives.

Is there a way to mask a password in a script? Instead of /user set admin password=bla-bla you'd use /user set admin password-md5=f56e8aca4cdfaefba307865a179e28a7 Field techs can have user-level passwords, but I'd like to at least pretend I'm protecting my admin passwords from curious Georges.

LaZyLion

I'm having this issue as well. I'm using 6.39.2 The manual clearly states these numbers should be returned as integers: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface but :put [:typeof [/interface ethernet get ether1 rx-bytes]] shows that an array is being returned. The spaces make this extra unhel...

Hi all This new post feature is great for me. It adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind when transmitting sensitive information like wifi passwords. I have a script that all my routers run to check in with my php server. It started as a dyndns client but has evolved into so much more. Her...

Hi all

Sorry it this has been asked before but google failed me.

How do I determine if a wireless interface is doing b or g or n.

I know I can disable B by changing the Band setting, but I'd like to be able to
determine is an interface is being dragged down by a client.

Thanks all.

Hi all, I got to playing around with functions and came up with a way to url encode text. I regularly use /tool fetch to send information to a php script on my web server. I run my own homemade DYDNS variant and it helps to have the information properly encoded so it arrives intact. The code: Create...

LaZyLion

Hi all I'm adding my two cents to the issue as well. This is now July 31 of 2016. Eight years of an ongoing issue! oh well. I'm using ROS 6.36 on all devices involved. Devices are in AP Bridge mode, same SSID, same AES WPA2 key All set up by script so no typo's. The devices connect and work great fo...

LaZyLion

I see. So the srcnat chain is not restricted to packets that are leaving the router via a wan port. Hence to need to specify the out-interface so that only packets leaving via wan get masked. Thank you. But could the same effect be had using: /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address-type=!local...

LaZyLion

Hi all, Ever since I started working with RouterOS, I've wondered why is it necessary to specify the "out-interface" in the srcnat firewall rule? /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1 action=masquerade add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether2 action=masquerade add chain=srcna...

LaZyLion

Hi all In all the configuration examples I've seen, and even in the default configuration, I see this: /ip firewall nat add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1 In a multi-wan setup, there is such an entry for each wan. I've always wondered, why is it necessary to specify the "ou...

For anyone like me who has been doing endless googling and finding lots of examples that lack decent explanations, here is how I understand load balancing; nth vs pcc. This assumes you read examples like https://aacable.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/mikrotik-4-wan-load-balancing-using-pcc-with-pppoe-serv...

Hi all I'm playing with load balancing using pcc firewall rules in mangle and I've noticed that when I do a ping, tool fetch, or any other traffic from the console, it doesn't get matched to any of my mangle rules. I just tried and I can't get of the chains in mangle to trap router initiated traffic...

Strods LaZyLion - We fixed print function for "/system package update" in latest 6.28rcX versions. Now something like this might work for you: { /system package update check-for-updates once delay 5 :put [/system package update get latest-version ] } First function will force RouterOS to c...

LaZyLion - Since 6.27 "/system package update check-for-updates" is dynamic and gives output to console. That has caused changes. You can use command like this: :put ([/system package update check-for-updates once as-value ] -> "current-version") Great, that gives me the current...

RouterOS auto upgrade script is broken, there is no more "current-version" and "latest-version" properties in "/system package update". I would like to re-iterate this issue. In 6.26 we get: [user@myrouter] /system package update> :put [get current-version ] 6.26 But i...

Hi all I'm looking for a little clarification on something: If I go into ip/dhcp-server/leases and make an entry static, an option appears to "block access" for that users mac address. If i am understanding correctly, this will prevent the user from renewing or getting an ip when their lea...

Update. I'm Running 6.17 now. The interface is still being changed by Quickset to Ether2. I use a few different ip addresses on my bridge and it seems to only change the most recently added. I'm tempted to use a dummy ip address but this could issues since I use Ether2 as a Wan port. The last added ...

LaZyLion

There is a bug in Quickset. When you hit Apply it changes the interface for lan ip from bridge-local to ether2. If you are not connected to ether2, or ether2 is not part of the bridge, you will not be able to reach it. This may be what is happening to you. To check this, use a serial cable to see wh...

I have a similar setup in I have two wan connections that I want to failover with. The first is very reliable and very stable, but slow, and expensive to use if you exceed the low data cap. The second is much much cheaper to use, much much faster, but stable as a wind vane. We do not want load balan...
