Hi, Im learning this scripting option of routerOS. Please help me with the following: in the winbox i use the following script

/ip firewall filter disable 1

as a simple script to disable rule 1 in my fw. i click run, it shows run 1 times. but the rule doesnt disable? Same with bandwidth management using Queues. I created a queue, paste the script exactly as it is on wiki.mikro... and click run, nothing! even in scheduler, paste the script, run every 10s. it shows ran 10 times etc but no result.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Hai fren
better, when you will make enable/disable any rule with find comment first.
don't use number of rule
i have sample for it here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17102

i found nothing in your article about the find statement. Please show me how I will find the rule and then disable it with scripting

Thanx!

add comment to your first firewall rule, for example myComment

After that you can use command: /ip firewall filter disable 1 doesn't work, because /ip firewall filter print must be executed first. Print command writes all filters to internal buffer. But this works only when you type commands from console and won't work as standalone script.

Aaah! the internal buffer makes sense - not being at the console yet no buffer

cool!

now lemme go try

Ok so this works.

Now for the next test: Bandwidth management using Queues.

I created a simple queue for the 192.168.0.0/24 IP range. I paste the script from the site and modified the 100MB (in bytes) to 1 to activate the script earlier. Nothing happends to the queues! its suppose to limit to 64k download.

Any Suggestions?

post your queue rule and script.

Queue rule:

name="queue1" target-addresses=192.168.0.0/24 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0
interface=all parent=none direction=both priority=8
queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0
total-queue=default-small


script:

:local traf;
/queue simple
:for i from=1 to= 254 do = {
:if ([/queue simple find target-addresses=("192.168.0." . $i)] != "") do={
:set traf [get [find target-addresses=("192.168.0." . $i)] total-bytes]
:if ($traf > 1) do = {
set [find target-addresses=("192.168.0." . $i)] max-limit= 32000/64000
}
}
}

I have set the traf > 1 just to see if it works.

Another thing: I have level 1 routerOS, which allows only 1 queue, is that maybe why its not working?

if you are running on 2.9 then: this should work!

Ok but with level 1 and 2.9 you can only have 1 simple queue which I already have for collecting the ip traffic needed in the script above. adding any more simple queues are not allowed... maybe time to get level 3?



Oh and closing statements with the 3 }'s at the end, where the 3 start {'s ?

1. :for loop ... do={
2. :if ([/queue .... do={
3 :if ($traf > 1) do = {

damn...sorry dude... I was replying on someone else' pc with very high res! { looked like [

Thanx for the patience

doesnt work... any ideas?
