But it’s still not TR-069 isn’t it . Scripting is per device , and time consuming . Consider managing thousands of RouterBoard , Scripting is good if you have a few CPE , but when your talking about mass deployment you need TR-069, no help desk is going to take a support call and put a customer on hold while you script something up .
you’re right, it’s not TR-069. scripting is a lot more powerful stuff.
of course it needs a head start of coding, it’s not something out of the box. but auto-provisioning can be
done using different approaches.
no one stops us to actually create a similar environment/ecosystem with ROS scripting, to provide the same
look & feel as TR-069. if you need it right now, let’s make one. when you have to deal with 1000s of devices
it (the home-brew approach) will be a lot more efficient than doing everything manually while waiting for MTIK to implement TR-069
BTW, i would not compare the average TR-069 governed CPE feature set to something that ROS offers right now.
That is just re-inventing the wheel. Why develop new ecosystem when one already exists . ISP already have TR-069 asset in the business and interfaced with OSS/BSS systems, re-inventing (home-brew) is not feasible.
At the end of the day , this is a feature request , end user should have the option to choose what best fits the network and business. TR-069 is my feature request for V7.
Small thing: for multiple WAN envoronments it should exists some kind of predefined policy or on/off switch, about incomming and outgoing traffic. When something goes in from WAN1 should go out by WAN1, when something goes in frome WAN2 should go out by WAN2 and so on…
Your problem is that the connection-marking rules need to also have the criteria: connection-mark=no-mark
If not, then you can re-mark connections and break the routing policy.
I think User manager is most power full tool in future because every isp need radius with accounting, country wise payment gateway, sms api integration, plans flexibility etc.
These functions need definitely. And they need not only to us but also to you - mikrotik team, for that would have a more competitive product and a more extensive sales geography. I think when you had MUM tour in Asia have often been asked about the ISIS protocol. Oh Asians very love it
