Hello peeps…
Just had a question on the edit functionality on RouterOS. Since it’s Linux, that edit value seems to be much akin to nano editing a file. Now my curiosity is, does that mean that it allows for the box to be set to things that normal configuration wouldn’t allow?
It just ignores the value and leaves the previous value in the field. I verified this by trying to edit the l2mtu of a wireless card to 22000 and then save+exit and when upon re-opening the editor the value was the previous of 2290. I believe it is even case sensitive.

So I can totally see that failing to be honest. I believe that would be due to a hardware limitation.
What I am finding interesting is the software side of things. Like for firewall filters or something like the MPLS auto-bandwidth timer being a value other than what is allowed in the Winbox/CLI…
I don’t have a way to test that at the moment but I think Mikrotik does comparisons based on what is allowed which is why it didn’t give me an error before and just silently discarded it.
