All,
I’ve been pouring thru many posts, but I’m not having any luck yet trying to accomplish the following:
We have 500+ Mikrotik RB750Gv2 to deploy in the next 8 weeks. Want I want to do is automate this process as much as possible.
Stage 1 will be updating all RB750s to our v6.32.4 firmware standard. What I’d like to be able to do is set my config technicians up with a 24port Gig switch loaded with up to 24 RB750s and a Windows laptop connected to same switch to quickly push this firmware update to all connected fresh out of the box RB750s. Based on my readings, I have a test bed setup with a Cisco gig switch and three new RB750s and installed The Dude v4b3 on my windows laptop. It looks like The Dude can be used to do batch software updates. I also used a configured RG750 as a router/DHCP server set to 192.168.89.1/24. When I launch Dude, Devices/List shows my laptop as the Dude Server on 192.168.89.254, and the four RB750’s are displayed with their same subnet IPs. I double click on the RB750 router, set it up as “Router OS” and “Type = Mikro Tik Device” and change the User Name and Password to my settings, and it comes right up and connects in the Dude. However, I’m stuck with the next step: When I do the same Device config settings for the three “virgin” RB750s, the Dude fails to connect to any of them. It LOOKS like to me that the login process is failing - note that the three default RB750s have a blank password, and that seems to be the problem even though I delete / no entry in the Password field??? How has everyone else resolved this/get around this Dude connecting to fresh RBs that have the default login settings?
Stage 2 will be batch configuration of multiple RB750s: I am planning on trying FlashFig feature in NetInstall. I have two script files that I can create .rsc files out of and will see how successful this works. If there are other suggestions for bulk configuration I’m all ears.. 
Thanks much all !
