Yup.

Glad it helps you out.

I've now built a fairly comprehensive provisioning system for our Mtik based wireless networks using it, and so far haven't had to update the main mtik_api.pl core.

If you feel adventurous, feel free to turn it into an actual package ...

Any takers? Here's an example of the problem. I'm writing some provisioning code to add, remove and authorize wireless ACL's. Obviously my "primary key" is the MAC address of the radio. But the 'set' command requires the Mtik internal '.id'. So what I'd like to be able to do is a quick cal...

New version uploaded. Bug described in previous post is fixed.

I think I've tracked down the reason it hangs occasionally on the socket recv. A misunderstanding on my part on how recv works with regards to specified read lengths.

I'm testing the new version, I'll post it when I'm sure it's fixed.

FYI, I posted a perl API client here:

[New version uploaded 3/26/2008. Fixed a bug which caused command output to hang sometimes, and added simple command line client] Attached should be a ZIP with three files: Mtik.pm - a simple perl client for the Mtik API. Pretty much a perl port of the python client from the Wiki, with an extra rout...

I'm testing my new perl API client. Most stuff seems to work fine, but I'm having problems with the 'find' command. In the console, if I want to find (say) a wireless-access entry with a given MAC, I can do this: [admin@foo] /interface wireless access-list> :put [find mac-address="00:02:6F:56:7...

Is there any particular reason the API seems to report item ID's differently to the equivalent console 'print' command?

The 'print' command starts item ID's at 0, whereas the API starts them from 1.

I have a bunch of perl script which drive NET::telnet to do "stuff" in 2.x. None of it works on 3.0 because of changes in console output. This was referenced and marked fixed in this thread: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20153&p=97246&hilit=console+color#p97246 ...

Bump.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't currently have a spare Mtik to test b3 on. Can anyone confirm if accounting ON/OFF is being sent in 3.0beta10? This is kind of important, so I'd like to get a definitive answer. [edit] Ah, I just found it in the changelog : > What's new in 3.0beta10: [b...

It would be very useful if you could provide a 'radius' option to the 'ppp active print' command, which would add a column for the RADIUS Acct-Session-Id for each PPP session, if available. As I'm sure you know, some servers (like FreeRadius) provide the option to verify simultaneous use limits, and...

I'm told that Mikrotik don't support the RADIUS Accounting-On and Accounting-Off status types, as described in RFC 2866 and friends: Acct-Status-Type MAY be used by the client to mark the start of accounting (for example, upon booting) by specifying Accounting-On and to mark the end of accounting (f...

Yeah, I came across dd-wrt pretty quickly after starting to google this issue! Unfortunately as an ISP, it's hard for us to do this as part of a customer install. Too much risk of having to eat the cost of a new router if things go wrong, or having an installer spending a whole day sorting a fubar'e...

We recently started migrating our wireless networks over to MT routers, using the clients PPPOE Service Name to obtain the appropriate dynamic IP from freeradius on the backend (via the Called-Station-Id attribute). We have run into a slight snag though, when we discovered that some LinkSys routers ...
