Scripting Policy Based Routing

[nelson05]

I am looking to achieve something similar to the scripts listing a failover to a backup gateway using standard routing upon a netwatch condition being met. However, I am using Policy Based Routing and can’t seem to script changes in this command.

I basically want to enable or disable certain rules to redirect traffic: for example… /ip policy-routing rule enable 1 and of course, the opposite … /ip policy-routing rule disable 1

Both of these work from the shell, but nothing happens when I run the script. Also, I think it is possible to enable and disable items from scripts as when I enter… /interface ethernet disable ether1 …the command processes the change.

Many thanks in advance.

You can post your script, will check where exactly could be the mistake.

If you try /ip policy-routing rule enable 1, before /ip policy-routing rule print than it won’t work…

For scripts its better to use sintax like this:

/ip policy-routing rule enable [/ip policy-routing rule find table=main]

Thanks guys, your advice did the trick. I’m still figuring out the requirements of scripting and sure appreciate the help. All the best to both of you.
