create a my own default configuration to run after reset configuration

David1234 · Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:05 pm

Hello ,
I have created a backup file of my router
now - I want it to run after I make reset configuration automatically
but when I run this command

/system reset-configuration run-after-reset=backup.rsc

it just reset the router to default and doesn't run any thing to the old configuration

why?

Thanks,

Make sure it has no syntax errors. Also try to run it manually and see if there are no problems.

That's something mikrotik really lack, a Config checker.

Syntax checker is not enough. The script debugger is very necessary also.

I have run the file manually - working just fine
so this is not the problem
and this is the file I'm running - simple

The order things run in the script may be important, especially when creating interfaces that others depend on. Also, you appear to have a naming issue ... notice here:

set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] blah, blah
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] blah, blah

Those are probably not the default names after /system reset-configuration.

I have check - and yes they are the names
if I make al the setup manually - it does work
"reset configuration--> /import file=test.rsc" , it upload the file and work just fine

what else could it be ?

Thanks,

Add delay at the beginning. Or loop to delay until wireless interfaces are loaded.

Also worth adding no-defaults=yes and skip-backup=yes to the reset command.
This will prevent the router from building the default setup (like the 88.1 IP address etc.)
