flashfig

RouterOS General
1

I have tried using flashfig with both an OmniTik and SXT both running 5.6.

In both cases, I see the device in the list (SXT is reported as “Groove”)
In both cases flashfig reports “flashfigged”
In both cases the cute song plays over and over and over…

In both cases the config is not on the device.

I have tried this multiple times by setting:

/system routerboard settings set boot-device=flash-boot-once-then-nand

The config is very complicated:

/ip address add address=192.168.88.12/24 interface=ether1

Any ideas? flashfig is a great feature…if it works.

i think I found a work around.
I found that this works:

:delay 20s

/ip address add address= ......

If I quickly Winbox by mac into the device after flashfig, there is no IP address and after about 10s the IP appears.
I’m not sure if 20 seconds delay is required, it’s just what I tried.
It is the same result on SXT and OmniTik. RB450 works fine without the delay.

I sent an email to support.

this script is ran on boot-up, so if there is no such interface ether1 you get no result. addition of the delay ensures that router is up and everything is initialized (drivers loaded) when you start to add configuration.

That is what I suspected was wrong. The delay doesn’t solve the problem completely, however.

Also, the same problem occurs if I try:

/system reset-configuration run-after-reset=.......

I received an email back from support confirming the problem; an attempt will be made to remedy in the next version.
