RB750-UP POE ?

RouterOS Scripting
1

I recently got a 750up router with the capability to turn on and off power to ports 2-5. Looking for a script to ping that port and if it doesnt reply after so many try’s or minutes that it will cycle the power to that port.

Any love on this? I could use a script like this one, would be handy if someone already had one written.

This should be trivial. A netwatch job to ping the address, and a one-liner script to turn off and on the power to that port.

and the command to run from Netwatch:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> set ether1 poe-out=off

I wrote a little script that restarts power based on the port status, but it doesn’t work because find for poe value doesn’t work. I believe this is a bug.

       
:local iface;
       :foreach i in=[/interface ethernet find poe-out=forced-on]  do={                                                                         
           :set iface [/interface ethernet get $i value-name=name];                                                                             
           /interface ethernet monitor $i once do={                                                                                             
               :if ($status="!link-ok") do={                                                                                                    
                   :log info "poe-watch restarting: $iface";
                   /interface ethernet set poe-out=off $iface;                                                                                  
                   /delay 2s                                                                                                                    
                   /interface ethernet set poe-out=forced-on $iface;
                   :log info "poe-watch status: $status,  restarted: $iface";                                                                   
                   /delay 60s                                                                                                                   
                  }
           }                                                                                                                                    
       }

I then run this on a 1 second schedule.
