In WinBox after opening the Terminal wondow, and pasteing a huge amount of commands, telnet and ssh stop responding correctly You can login… The ascii-draw Mikrotik shows… but no command prompt (huh bug in SH?:()… You cannot make any /system script…
I have had the same problem…But I get round it by using putty to ssh in and paste the commands that way…
Putty also locks up after a while (about 500 or more commands) it looks like while adding the commands the CPU usage hits 100% and stays there and eventually it just cannot deal with more rules from the paste and they start failing. The CPU usage eventually stabilises back to normal but it does take a while…
Pasting 300 rules at a time works fine…
I found the same thing on a Routerboard 230 and a P233mmx system. I haven’t needed to paste that many rules into a more powerful box as yet…
