Routerboard remote administration

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hello folks!, I have a new question for you, I have a lot of routerboards connected to a lot of debian servers with no graphical interface.
I need some way to remote update some configuration parameters on this routerboards (rb433).
As far as I know, routerboards doesn’t support snmp write access, so, I cannot use snmpd to update this parameters.
The dude is not usefull either because we don’t have graphical interface…

Thanks for your help!

huh? how about SSH or Telnet :slight_smile: ?

Yes, I have a python script to open a telnet session in the Routerboard and update the configuration, but sometimes doesn’t work.
I think this is not a very secure way to update this parameters, and it’s not very “easy to administrate”.
Do you know other way to do that?

Thanks!

Then there is the API, we even have a Python example for it:

it easy to update configuration through ssh, without problems :slight_smile:

normis, the API was created becasue the Routerboards doesn’t support snmp write feature?
