I’ve got a RB750GL and a pair of RB433GL’s and I’m struggling.
I’ve got the devices working using Webfig, but I’m trying to add facilities and they seem to need a text interface.
I’ve tried Putty, but I cannot cut and paste lines of code into it.
Can I cut and paste lines of code using Webfig?
What am I doing wrong? or am I using the wrong application?
This PC is running Ubuntu 11.04, but I can run windoze XP under virtual box.
Thank you,
David.
If pasting from notepad, wordpad etc, its not working. Try using a unix style editor like uestudio. What to use. when pasting. dos not matter, ssh, telnet, serial, wimbox etc.
what lines, and from where are you copying it? paste one such line here, so we can see why it’s not working in putty
I have been trying to take code from the Mikrotic manuals and pasting it into Putty.
/ ip firewall filter
add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=1337 action=add-src-to-address-list address-list=knock
address-list-timeout=15s comment=“” disabled=no
add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=7331 src-address-list=knock action= add-src-to-address-list
address-list=safe address-list-timeout=15m comment=“” disabled=no
This is an example of a paste.
Am I correct that I cannot load code into my Router Boards with Webfig?
David.
works fine for me when I paste this into SSH command line …
what doesn’t work for you exactly? after you paste this, hit ENTER and then type “print” to confirm if rules are added
Sorry, I should have been more specific, I can copy the code, but it does not paste into Putty.
David.
Use shift+insert or middle mouse button to paste into Putty.
or simply right click
Thank you everybody who replied, I think I’ve got the hang of it now.
The RB750GL is programmed, I’ll test it tomorrow.
Now for the radios…
David.
Good news, the RB750GL performs very well.
It’s replacing a Cisco RVS4000 and the throughput of the RB750 is twice that of the Cisco, and the price is about a third, excellent value.
My latest problem, people are trying to log onto the RB750 from the WAN side, is it easy to stop this?
David.
change port to services (eg, ssh, telnet web) Dissable what not needed.
