CLI command not working or finding values

RouterOS General
1

I’m trying to run this command

 /ip route disable [find dst-address=0.0.0.0.0/0 gateway=10.15.30.1]

which I found on an article https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/basic-isp-failover-mikrotik-timothy-symonds/. The command doesn’t disable any of the routes despite them being there.

I also tried to find only and no results are returned.

It works if I use the find gateway only. ie.

 /ip route disable [find gateway=10.15.30.1]

.

What am I doing wrong here for the first 1 not to work?

First make sure the [ find … ] part works by running command

:put [ find ... ]

If find construct works, you should see some value printed (it’ll probably be a meaningless value like *30000001). What I found is that sometimes one has to put quotes around CIDR IP address, and I tend to put spaces around square brackets:

/ip route
:put [ find dst-address="0.0.0.0.0/0" gateway=10.15.30.1 ]
