We are working on a completely new SNMP for RouterOS and we are going to also support SNMP write. Could you please write what you wish to see in RouterOS SNMP support, and what network management programs you now use that have SNMP write support.

actually we are also preparing an open API for configuration of the router, so you can develop your own applications that connect to the router and configure/control it. this is not connected to SNMP but i guess you will also like that

My SNMP wishes...

read access:
* MT version. There is no excuse for not having that now. I have a database to keep track of my MTs, and use SNMP to keep some of the fields updated. We do this with lots of other hardware. I don't have a way to easily determine the version in the MT.

i use this oid to get the fw version (2.9 only): .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.4.0

the docs are incomplete about the oids
just do a snmpwalk and you get quite an interesting list

michal

while I'm on the topic, how can the "upgradable-till" oid be converted from hex to text. I am basically looking for a human readable text date with year/month/day or similar.

Code: Select all

[admin@bht] > /system license print 
       software-id: "xxxxxxx"
  upgradable-until: sep/01/2006
            nlevel: 3
          features: 
[admin@bht] > /system license print oid
       software-id: .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.1.0
  upgradable-until: .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.2.0
             level: .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.3.0

mocha:/usr/local/mis/bin # snmpwalk -v1 -c public 10.0.1.5 .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.2.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.4.2.0 = Hex-STRING: 07 D6 09 01 00 00 00 00 

Now, I can have my database automatically update the version and hostname of my Mikrotiks! I run this script with cron each day. I use the database both as a glorified inventory spreadsheet, and to feed other scripts such as one that makes mrtg config files.

Code: Select all

# more db.update.mt 
#!/bin/bash
MYCMD="mysql -B -N -h 127.0.0.1 -u xxxxxxxx -s -pxxxxxx -e "

for IP in `$MYCMD " use mt; select ip from router;"` ; do
  VER=`snmpget -r2 -v1 -c public -Ovq $IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.4.0 |cut -d" " -f1|sed -e "s/\"//g"`
  NAME=`snmpget -r2 -v1 -c public -Ovq $IP SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 |cut -d: -f4`
  $MYCMD "use mt; update router set version='$VER' where IP='$IP'"
  $MYCMD "use mt; update router set hostname='$NAME' where ip='$IP'"
done

For some reason, I can't get bash to print the month properly. I could use the perl example, but I'm almost there and don't want to need two scripting languages to convert a hex date to decimal.

Code: Select all

mocha:/usr/local/mis/bin # cat getle 
#!/bin/bash
HEXDATE=`snmpget -r2 -v1 -c public -Ovq $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.2.0`
CDHEXDATE=`echo 0x$HEXDATE |sed -e "s/\"//g" |sed -e "s/ //g"`
echo $HEXDATE
echo 0123456789
echo $CDHEXDATE

YEAR=`echo $CDHEXDATE|cut -b0-6`
echo YEAR
printf "%d\n" $YEAR

MONTH=`echo $CDHEXDATE|cut -b7-8`
echo MONTH
printf "%d\n" $MONTH

DAY=`echo $CDHEXDATE|cut -b9-10`
echo DAY
printf "%d\n" $DAY
mocha:/usr/local/mis/bin # ./getle 10.0.1.5
"07 D6 09 01 00 00 00 00 "
0123456789
0x07D6090100000000
YEAR
2006
MONTH
./getle: line 14: printf: 09: invalid number
0
DAY
1
mocha:/usr/local/mis/bin # 

#!/bin/sh

OUT=`snmpget -r2 -v1 -c public -Ovq $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.4.2.0 |sed 's!\"!!g'`

YEAR=`echo $OUT |awk '{printf "%d", strtonum("0x" $1 $2)}'`
MONTH=`echo $OUT |awk '{printf "%d", strtonum("0x" $3)}'`
DAY=`echo $OUT |awk '{printf "%d", strtonum("0x" $4)}'`

Can you be more specific on you SNMP requests? What traps would you like to see? What is THE SNMP feature that you miss the most now?

add or delete user and change their permissions.
We have tech support that come and go. They take a look from the tower at the client which is very helpful. Big pain to go do this to every access point we have manually.

Hello Brian,

To view available OIDs,
you can type e.g. 'queue simple print oid'.

Follow this topic about SNMP,

I would like to simply set the interface speed in my monitoring application, but that is not an option, it's not an option in many monitoring applications. I am also emailing the vendor of my monitoring system(IPSwitch What Up Professional 2006) for the ability to change it in there.

I am asking you to change it as well, as ROS is reporting things incorrectly (see my comments about my wireless links) so when you go to fix that, I would just like to see the following option added to any available interface ex. snmpinterfacespeed=######## then when any SNMP probe reads the standard 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.# OID, it reports the value specified by snmpinterfacespeed. Then when I probe my wlan interfaces, they do not show up as 11mbps, regardless of what radio and config I have, or when I have a interface connected to a wireless bridge (like an orthogon link) I can change the interface speed to reflect the speed of the link in the middle, not the speed of the ethernet port that it's connecting to...

Hello Brian,

Probably you can set appropriate configuration in external monitoring server, that will show desired values, e.g. traffic below 8 Mbps.
It's possible to set name to each monitored value (interface, queue simple, queue tree etc.), where you can set 'VLAN1 8mbps limit', that will indicate it's VLAN1 interface with '8 mbps' limit.

I wouldn't mind an OID for # of ppp users connected.

It would be nice to have OID´s for noise floor, Signal to noise and Tx/Rx CCQ.
