How to know explicit info/error about anything (CLI) ?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi there,

I’ve recently installed, for testing purpose, 4/5 RB951G-2HnD and i’m playing with those :slight_smile:

I’ve noticed that i can activate & get some log with /system logging but i want explicit information about error : typicaly when i see “I” (invalid) in whatever conf, for example while i’m doing /ip dhcp-server p (which is invalid on 2 boxs and valid on 2 others boxs :smiley:)

Thanks,

XaT

Well i’ve done that for loggin (all to echo) for testing

While i’m disable/re-enable my 2nd dhcp-server (which is invalid), i don’t get error or any information about the invalid dhcp-server

@edit: just added wireless & interface to echo log

Normally the dhcp server shows invalid if the interface is disabled or no longer exists.

Nop, in that case my wlan is running, accepting connection and well connected to -at least- one device.

This is a VirtualAP connected to wlan1 with specific security policy

Post “/interface wireless”. I use VAPs also. It only shows invalid if I disable the VAP interface.

If I do this…

…it shows this:

I know it’s related with my virtualap “wlan2” but i don’t want to find the solution (i find the solution by logic, no adress was set on Vap) : i just want explicit error :smiley:
