Hi there,
We’re considering to go for the RB750 when it is available, but since there’s no console port, I’m a little worried about provisioning, which is today done by a provisioning script and a cut’n’paste into the console.
What kind of configuration will the RB750 be shipped with?
it’s preconfigured with a DHCP client on the WAN port, and DHCP server on the bridge that’s ports 2-5
it also has a masquerade rule and some basic firewall rules to prevent any access from the WAN side
Hi Normis,
Thank you very much for your reply.
An unexpected configuration, but nevertheless, I should be able to work with that.
it’s designed for ease of use. plug in LAN, plug in WAN, and it will work.
you could auto provision with a shell script since it will have default ip
normis: what about netinstall? will it be possible?
Yes, you will be able to use netinstall.
how? with reset button?
yes, reset button will load etherboot.
is that feature already/will be present in other routerboards? it’s simplier than using null-modem…
currently it’s not possible. it’s not a software thing
but i thinks is in RouterBOOT, so why you wont add it?
In future Routerboot versions maybe.
or at least add option to /system/routerboard:
boot-device=if-reset-push-boot-from-ethernet
it shouldn’t be that hard…
it would help many routerboard administrators
who uses netbooks/notebooks and doesn’t have builtin serial port…
Does it have a Serial Port header on PCB?
Why dont you upload a photo of RB750’s board to routerboard.com? there are only photos of plastic case..
no, there is no possibility to connect serial COM cable to RB750. Therefore additional reset button functionality.
What is the latest news on the availability of the RB/750?
I’ve had some on backorder for more than a month…
please contact sales@mikrotik.com with that question.
Ours landed yesterday and we will begin shipping them on Tuesday (Monday is a US holiday).
I think they began shipping this week to all distributors (who ordered them in July) so you should see yours soon.
