I need to know about BCP tunnel how to monitor and restart. All scripts I have seen use ip address pings to monitor ppp tunnels. BCP tunnels do not have ip addresses.
I need a script or info to monitor and restart them.
Thanks

The easiest approach is to assign some non-conflicting IP addresses, solely for the purpose of the monitoring, to the individual bridges interconnected using the BCP tunnels. No tools are available in RouterOS to send and receive frames in other L2 payload protocol than IP (plus ARP asking for IP addresses so you still need them to be assigned) or IPv6.
You can also consider using packet counters of /interface bridge filter rules, but this way you can only monitor the Rx direction of the tunnel, so you can only use this approach if some spontaneous traffic always exists in both directions, and a script monitoring the tunnel transparency this way has to run at both ends of the tunnel.
