Problem with /ip route find [solved]

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi all,

I work in a project with two private LAN-gateways.

I want to use the netwatch-tool with up and down scripts.

My setup looks like followed:

Script: gw_1

/ip route set [/ip route find dst-address 0.0.0.0] gateway=192.168.10.254

Script: gw_2

/ip route set [/ip route find dst-address 0.0.0.0] gateway=192.168.10.250

Netwatch:

/tool netwatch> add host=8.8.8.8 interval=10s timeout=998ms up-script=gw_2 down-script=gw_1

But my scripts don’t work :frowning: I followed this guide: http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/tools/netwatch.php

I think the mistake is the command “/ip route find …” When I try to execute this command manually in a terminal it gives me no return-value.

Maybe someone know where’s my mistake.

P.S.: I am using RouterOS 5.8 on a MikroTik RouterBOARD RB/750.

Thank you in advance!

Looks like you’re missing an “=”…

[admin@MikroTik] > :put [/ip route find dst-address 0.0.0.0/0]

[admin@MikroTik] > :put [/ip route find dst-address=0.0.0.0/0] 
*30000001

Also note that the bit inside the doesn’t print anything on the console regardless. You have to use :put for that.

Yes that’s right!

But how can I use my commands to change the route? At the moment I use the followed command:

Script: gw_1

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set numbers=0 disabled=yes




[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set numbers=1 disabled=no

Script: gw_2

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set numbers=1 disabled=yes




[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set numbers=0 disabled=no

But this is not the best solution I think, because when someone add a route it could get the number of the default-route. You know what I mean?

set up comment to identify the routes. then find them to identify and then apply changes to IDs found.

Thank you so much! That works fine!

Now I use the followed command:

Script: gw_1

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set [/ip route find where comment="ISP2"] disabled=yes




[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set [/ip route find where comment="ISP1"] disabled=no

Script: gw_2

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set [/ip route find where comment="ISP2"] disabled=no




[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route set [/ip route find where comment="ISP1"] disabled=yes

And the scripts in netwatch… it works great! Thanks a lot!
