get gateway from dst-address

RouterOS Scripting

Can somebody show me a script to get gateway address from dst-address?

Can’t quite figure it out…

Thanks

How do you mean it?

Something along the lines of:

{
:local gatewayWT [/ip address get [/ip route find gateway dst-address=10.4.0.0/16] ]
:put $gatewayWT
}

You can use the “/ip route check” command to get it on screen… But actually getting it as a value is a little more difficult. Your two best options are to either write to a file, and read from it 2s later, or to use the API. The former makes it difficult to extract the nexthop out of that, while the latter requires a separate device or metarouter.

this sorta works, put doesn’t give me a local to pass like $nexthop

 /ip route check dst-ip=10.4.0.0 once

which gets me:

     status: ok
  interface: ether4-WT_5AC
    nexthop: 10.251.250.4

need to grab the nexthop IP
