I am currently working on a similar issue.

I have one mikrotik trying to fetch information from another.

I can start the session but cannot issue commands to the remote MT.

/system ssh 66.134.x.x user=malibu+ct
:delay 10
:global malibuAddress [interface pptp-server get fromMalibu client-address]
/quit


I would like to connect via ssh issue the command to get the client address form the pptp-server then quit out of the ssh session.

I have tried while (/system ssh 66.134.x.x user=malibu) do={
:delay 10
:global mal…
/quit
}

but to no avail.

I have tried, but no use,
I could not even create a session,
Try using this for getting pptp-server client-address,
:global malibuIP [/interface pptp-server get [/interface pptp-server find user=Mag ] client-address ]
:log error $malibuIP

Look the MikroTik Support Center Has Answered to My question.

Hello,
you cannot execute remote commands through ssh from router, you can do that
from any other linux host that is available to you.

also access to router without password is not advised to, as a better practice
use key to log in remotely through ssh and in your script point to a key file,
so your router is protected.

I think We have to find another way to solve this proble.

The code that I posted works fine locally but I was unable to send commands over the ssh.

I do appreciate the time and definate answer to the question.

First of All You have to generate public key, and then You can use say such command
PPP active print
You must put the same key in your mikrotik router,

user ssh-keys import file="your pub key "

running

ssh 192.168.250.250 -l admin -i .ssh/id_dsa /ppp active print

command on linux will print active connection.

hey guys

Maybe other way will be nice to use as well

As MT3.x got a basic http/ftp client (/tool fetch)

it is possible that remote router will have a script scheduled every some period of time that will do:

  1. Download script file from remote location
  2. run that script

if you want results from remote router like stats, logs, signals etc… you can use SSH with RSA/DSA keys to avoid login and password. that can be done easly from linux, never tried it from MT to MT but i believe if MT boxes will have pairs of public/prvate should work the same.

Other option is to write s simple script to get few values and send it via remote syslog to a Linux machine. and use a script on linux machine to check syslog and take action depends what is in syslog.

Answer for “How to do it” depends “What do you want”
