MT 2.8.10 Login Problem

RouterOS General
1

I’m having a pretty odd issue with a brand new MT router install.

I have a 64Mb 2.8.10 DOM installed in an ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard with a Athy 2500+ and 256 MB of RAM.

I installed everything, and had everything configured by Friday night. I came into the office this morning, and all of a sudden I could not log into my router. The username was admin, pass was admin (for lab testing purposes, heh heh), but I cannot log in using the local interface.

Curiously, I can log in just fine with the Winbox application ONLY. Telnet and SSH do NOT work. I’m a total newbie to MT so if anyone has any pointers for me, I’d very much appreciate it! Thanks!

From within WinBox, check IP → Services and make sure that Telnet and SSH are enabled.

FTP, SSH, and Telnet are all enabled. Besides, that doesn’t explain the whole not being able to log in locally thing anyway. I appreciate it though!

Sorry, I missed the part about the console port not working either.

Check Ports. Should show one serial port as being used by the console.

Also, System → Serial Console should be enabled.

I suppose the obvious question is: What were you messing with immediately before it stopped working :wink:

You have tried a reboot?

are you logging in from WAN or local? if from wan, make sure you add gateway in /ip route. can you post your mt configuration? try do /system reset, which reset everything back to default. make sure all interfaces are enabled

You have exact same hardwares with my mt so you shouldn’t have any problem.

also check your firewall input and forward rules

The “/system reset” command is something I’d like to do, but like I said, I can’t get into the box via any method except for the Winbox program.

This is with a keyboard plugged into the server. Locally. I’m not going through the network at all. The Winbox software doesn’t seem to give me a reset to factory defaults option, although I am going to double check it.

As an aside, I’ve been getting a constant stream of Process call traces and so on, as well as some kernel dumps, so I’m pretty worried about the health of this box. This is all new hardware, and I’m pretty good with this stuff, but I’m going to go check temperatures and all that stuff to see if I’m overheating or something. Is there a log I can check to see what’s going on (I should qualify that with, is there a log I can see in the Winbox software)?

Thanks everyone!

I suggest writing support. It sounds like a corrupted install. You can do a netinstall to fix this. There was a bug that was fixed in v2.8.10 where if you installed a CF or IDE and then immidately moved it to another device, the files would be corrupted because some parameters of the ATA controller can be different on another device.

Have you try Terminal in Winbox under left-side menu?
