Can't add a route with a PPPoE client as the gateway in RouterOS 7.5

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

I am trying to set up routes with PPPoE clients as gateways (for multi-WAN) on 7.5 but the router will not accept the routes.

If I try to do this through WinBox, the route saves but the gateway box changes to being blank.

If I use the terminal, I get:

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=tl203@a.1@main 
invalid or unexpected argument base
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=tl203@a.1@main dist
ance=2
invalid or unexpected argument base
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=tl203@a.1@main dist
ance=2 routing-table=main
invalid or unexpected argument base
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route add  gateway=tl203@a.1@main distance=2
invalid or unexpected argument base
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route add  gateway=tl203@a.1 distance=2
invalid or unexpected argument base

If I try to do it by copying the default route, which works, I get an error “Error in Gateway - address expected!” when I click OK.


Is there some way around this?..

Discovered that this works if the gateway doesn’t have an @ in the name!
