Hi all,
I need help.
Due to a missconfiguration, I loose access to a SEXTANT, no more possible to telnet, winbox or mac-telnet.
But the device still running correctly in bridge.
Is it a way to reset the device? without physically access due to high mast mounting.
Is it a way to netinstall with an default ip at routerboard boot ? or tftp ?
thanks for helping.
regards
Armand
You have lost access both on ethernet side and wireless side?
Unfortunately, the only way to regain access is to physically access the device and reset it.
No, you can’t reset the Mikrotik without physically access If you’ve lost the connection.
Try to connect wirelessly from the ground with laptop.
Use winbox to connect to sextant with MAC address.
I try mac telnet from wireless and ethernet, no way…
winbox also
telnet…
nothing…
I just want to know if in the routerboard(bootloader) there is a possibility to do an tftp or other method…
Netinstall is the only option in that case

You must go up in the tower for this.
Sorry
Of course there is, you can use Netinstall, look for it in the wiki. But you just can’t use it if not physically accessed.
If I have to…
I need a lift, I would like to avoid that…
Normis,
so we need this feature for the future in the routerboard firmware 
Doing an tftp check on specific ip add at start…to reset the unaccessible device…
You want to avoid lifting? Well I can’t help you with that.
You can make an /export compact and than add a script which will load the exported file via scheduler at startup. Never tested it, but worth trying if necessary.
I have backup of the config, that is uploaded to ftp each day
but it is to recover access to the device…
It is not an emergency because the device is still running ok. but in the future I will have somme trouble to manage it…
Try to work with fallback IP /32
I set this on a bridge, the bridge does nothing but sometimes can you need this.
