Where is documentation for "add" in "/ip address add"

Mon Jan 23, 2023 11:06 pm

The command:
/ip address add
has the "add" keyword, but the wiki doesn't document it.

Link to Wiki for "/ip address"
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Address

Where is the documentation for the "add" keyword in "/ip address"?

----
Also - fix typo:
In the wiki, it is written:
In case of bridging or PPPoE connection, the physical interface may bot have any address assigned
Instead of the word "bot", it should be written "not", as follows:
In case of bridging or PPPoE connection, the physical interface may not have any address assigned

Luckily you reported that spelling error to us, otherwise how were we to understand?

In general examples are useful though I'm used to having an explanation for every keyword/command which exists in a product.
I thought maybe it exists someplace else, but I understand from your comment that it isn't.

No need to be cynical, I was just trying to help

The "add" subcommand occurs for every configuration item where a list of values can be assigned.
There is generic documentation here: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Console
It shows you that add/remove/edit/print etc are subcommands present in many contexts, and they are not explained everywhere.
At some point you are presumed to understand that "add" will add an IP address. Or a route. Or whatever.
