May be a foolish question, but … I can’t figure out how to start mikrotik in a safe mode likely, so it will not execute the rules.
I have configured a script which will reboot MikroTik if doesn,t ping an internal IP, the problem is that the LAN Nic seems to be down, so the Mikrotik keeps on rebooting and I can’t access it
Thanks, Toni
Did that once too without a delay in the script. There may be a better solution but I created a txt file to upload in hyperterm that had the login responses followed by a script disable. There is a brief moment if the login is quick before the script runs. Of course you need serial console…
There should be some safe mode startup of the mikrotik I think. I found this at the manual:
http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/guide/specs.php
if you go at the end of the page, there is “safe mode operation” can’t find any thing else linked to it though.
Anyway, I fixed the problem. I replaced the damaged Network Card with another one, which took all the properties of the previous (IP, Interface Name) so it started up OK.
A good option yours GotNet, worth remembering, in case I do the mistake
