Need Script !

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi,

I need a script that updates my ip address on my mikrotik !

Im running a EoIP tunnel between 2 routerboards and have problem with dynamic ip so I need a script that updates my ip on both sides of the tunnel.

I am not understanding your question - please rephrase

i think his ISP gives him a dynamic IP, and he needs a script that will change his EoIP configuration when the IP changes. He has two routers connected over EoIP

If that is the understanding then he will need a changeip.com account to dynamically track the changing IP address. Then he could use a script with a simple resolve statement to get the current IP of each side and use that to populatethe EOIP tunnel parameters.

Hi Normunds,

I use this topic to ask you a simple question… Is mikrotik planning to use dynamic DNS resolution ?
Because actually I’ve srcipted most of my routers to run dynamically…

For IPSEC I resolve the “proposal name field” to have dynamic policies and for peers, I’ve put the DNS in the beginning of the secret key (vd.wifx.net/adsf72345°§45blabla) :unamused:
For EOIP and PPTP I perform a DNS resolution on the interface name:

# Mise à jour des IP Dynamiques des tunnels EOIP
:foreach i in=[/interface find type=eoip-tunnel] do={
:if ([/interface eoip get $i remote-address] = [:resolve [/interface eoip get $i name]]) do={:put false} else={/interface eoip set $i remote-address=[:resolve [/interface eoip get $i name]]}
}

Is there another solution ?
Thanks,
Julien

I think the script he posted does what you want - right?
In his case he put the (Dyn)DNS name of the remote end as “name” parameter in the EoIP interface.
The script checks if the ip address has changed and - if yes - reconfigures the EoIP tunnel.

Now the only thing left is to run this script regularly via the system scheduler.

So Heinrich, paste the code in the source of a script, it’s fully functionnal, you just need to name your EOIP interface (Name) with the dns name, like “blabla.wifx.net”, and if you have EOIP tunnels that don’t have a DNS, just name it with the IP address directly… :open_mouth:

Our dynamic dns is great for this. It would be even better to have MT be able to use DNS hostnames for endpoints … just simply resolve them each time they are dialed. This way if a tunnel drops because of an IP change the next retry causes a dns resolve and uses the correct IP automatically. A script is an excellent workaround - but would be a great enhancement to 3.0 to use dns or ips in those fields.
