plan-B

Hi!

When messing around with bridge vlan filtering, there is a nice plan B. Install the code below to your switch with correct bridge name and it will help you when requested so.

/system scheduler
# nice feature to automatically unlock the switch from bad vlan config
add name=plan-B on-event="/interface bridge set bridge vlan-filtering=no" \
    policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive,romon \
    start-date=nov/11/2018 start-time=16:20:00

Set the start date and time of plan-B to 5 minutes ahead of current time just before issuing command:

/interface bridge set bridge vlan-filtering=yes

In case you have misconfigured bridge vlan filtering, then after 5 minutes you will have your access back to the switch.

Or use safe mode while programming the router.

SAFE MODE- reinventing the wheel

Thanks! Quicker and better than plan-B from MUM. Hope it also works for the vlans.

Safe mode is good solution but having Plan-B is even better if you commit “safe” configuration.
