PTP Link wireless monitor
Thankfully the issue of a PTP link losing wireless registration only occurs very seldom but when it does it's never at a good time and a reboot appears to solve the issue, so what we are looking for is advice on how to create a script that on a PTP link when there is NO wireless registration for say 30 mins the router will reboot!
Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
So far my thoughts are the wireless registration status is the best to monitor
/interface wireless> monitor wlan1
status: searching-for-network
/interface wireless> monitor wlan1
status: connected-to-ess
Which gives me from the PTP station side two status options "searching-for-network" or "connected-to-ess"
if i could add to the script to prevent false positives or worse reboot loops,
(1) Run the script if it finds "No Wireless Registration"
(2) wait say 5 mins and then recheck wireless status again
(3) if (A) "No Wireless Registration" is found wait another 5 mins, or (B) if status is "connected-to-ess" :log info "Wireless Registration Restored"
(4) now 10 mins has elapsed, run wireless status again if "No Wireless Registration" is found then reboot the router
Any advice or suggestions on how to solve this is most welcome!

sure this can help you

Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
@ ADahi Many thanks for your help!
In testing so far the script which I have edited is working very good,
Workflow so far
(1) Scheduler item “Wireless_Registration_Monitor” Script runs every 10mins and restarts 10mins after a reboot,
(2) If after 10 mins ( 2 x 5mins wireless status checks) = “No Wireless Registration - 10 Mins Elapsed - Rebooting Now” is activated
(3) But before rebooting “Router Rebooted Email Warning” scheduler item is enabled!
(4) Router reboots and after 5mins scheduler item sends email “Router Rebooted Email Warning” and after 30 seconds this scheduler item is disabled to prevent sending further emails alerts every 5 mins!
Station side of PTP link ( will have to edit wireless status for AP side)
Router Rebooted Email Warning

Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
I'm happy to help you, and without schedule extra script, I putted the Email warning script inside main script, edit it as you need.
Code: Select all
:do {
:if ( ([/interface wireless monitor wlan1 as-value once]->"status")="connected-to-ess" ) do={:quit;}
:log info "No Wireless Registration Wait 1 - 5 mins";

Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
@ ADahi thank you,
Just a thought, generally the station side of a PTP will not have internet access when there is no wireless registration! so a alert email could not be sent?
This is the reason why I added the email to the scheduler which runs after rebooting when wireless registration and internet access has been re-established,
However the AP side may have internet access without wireless registration so the email alert could be sent before rebooting, from this it looks like station side and AP side would have different monitoring configurations used,
As I have already have netwatch checking PTP IP address's and will alert when an IP address is down,the purpose of this script is to solve by rebooting what I call partial router lockup resulting in loss of wireless registration of a PTP and if it works without any unforeseen issues I may use it on PTMP AP's.

Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
With the AP using the script to monitor "status" will not work,
however "registered-clients" appears to be a good option
"registered-clients: 0" (less than 1 to trigger reboot)
"registered-clients: 1" (one or more to trigger no action)
Any suggestions !
Code: Select all
/in wi monitor wlan1
status: running-ap
registered-clients: 0
authenticated-clients: 0"registered-clients: 0" (less than 1 to trigger reboot)
"registered-clients: 1" (one or more to trigger no action)
Any suggestions !
Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
off course will not work with AP, it is for station
you have to change if condition, as you suggested
do you want schedule reboot for AP?, if so i think not good idea
can you export configuration here?, may be we can fix problem from root

Re: PTP Link wireless monitor
I am looking at two variations of the script
(1) AP side of a PTP will have
(a) registered-clients: 0 - which should activate the 10 min script with 2 X min checks before rebooting
(b) registered-clients: 1 - No Action
(2) PTMP AP will have
(a) registered-clients: 0 - which should activate the 10 min script with 2 X min checks before rebooting
(b) registered-clients: 1 or more - No Action
As mentioned the problem does not occur very often but when the issue does occur it's usually late in the evening and this has resulted in customers being without internet access
until the following morning before the router is rebooted,
