Why is it that when I unplug a network from one of the nic’s in our routeros box does it not remove that route from the routing table. Like a cisco router does. Instead it stays there even if the network is unpluged.
this leads to problems with dynamic routing.
Please can this be sotred so that if a interface is down the routes for that interface are removed, until the interface is back up.
Most interfaces support the ‘Running’ check. For example, the DP83816 on our RouterBOARD products.
Perhaps the Ethernet chip you have does not support this. For cards that support this, when the ‘R’ is not displayed, the routes for this interface will be invalid until the interface comes back up – just like Cisco.

The cards are intel pro/100’s. Has anyone else had this problem ?
I will try some other cards today see what I find.
Do I want running-check set to yes or no ?
You have to have the running check set to yes – for the routes to be invalid when the interface is disconnected.
