Mikrotik remote controlling via SMS

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi guys,

I’m working on a university project which idea is to think of, and provide as many exemaples (scripts) of Mikrotik RB (411U in my case) remote controlling via. SMS and USB 3g modem.

Currently I have following scripts:

  • for rebooting the device
  • notification about power failure (when on battery)
  • notification about interface failure
  • notification about IP change on the particular interface
  • restarting interface
  • backup generating
  • change bandwidth limits

All of these scripts are started by SMS messages, and I’m receiving corresponding SMS notifications. Most of scripts from above I found on the internet and made some modifications.

Could you please help me to think of any other examples, what I could control or monitor via SMS tool? I know the scripting language so I can write a script by myself, but I’m more theoretical than practical Mikrotik user, and currently I’m out of ideas.

I’ll appreciate any help,
thanks!

Upon receipt of an SMS have the router generate 4 random ports with a unique port knocking sequence that, if passed, grants permissions to try to SSH into the router on tcp/22. After the router generates the port knock sequence it sends it via email to a hard configured recipient, and closes the port knock sequence after 30 minutes.
