WHY are the Sextants and Metal S5HPn's pre-configured!

I’ve been throwing these up for PtP links, and I’m noticing they have PRE-CONFIGURED

  • DHCP Server
  • DHCP Client
  • NAT Firewall filter settings

WHY are these coming pre-configured!?!?! Anyone that’s ever used Mikrotik does all the programming from scratch. Now I have to and “undo” every radio I get in, removing all the pre-configured settings. Is there anything else that is pre-configured I have to go find?

So I figured I’ll just do a system-reset. NOPE! A system reset “should” erase all settings to default right? I resets everything back with DHCP Client, Server, Firewall filters…

Remove configuration.

is there anything they “sneaked” in there that is configured that I don’t know about. and what is the command to remove the configuration?

4

/system reset-configuration if memory serves me right.

5

/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes

6

When you first connect to these devices, all of the preconfigured stuff is shown to you, with two buttons “Keep” and “Remove”

that works, thanks
