BTest Server and disabling

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi everyone,

I went through Greg Sowell’s tutorial on Mikrotik security. He proposes that the you should disable the BTest Server as one of the means through which you can secure your mikrotik.

However, every time i try to disable BTest Server i get the error message " counldn’t change the Btest Server settings - one or more tests running (6)".

This concers me since being new to Mikrotik, i have never run a bandwidth test directly from Mikrotik.

What does this mean?

Should i be scared?

Should i switch off BTest and how do i go about it?

Thanks,
:open_mouth:

Hi
Default setting of Bandwidth Test Server.

/tool bandwidth-server
set allocate-udp-ports-from=2000 authenticate=yes enabled=yes max-sessions=10

You can disable the Server via this command.

“/tool bandwidth-server set authenticate=no enabled=no”

and reboot your modem. If it again give that msg then reboot once and then apply the same.
