Hi

Thank you

thank you very much

Hi,
I am newbie in Mikrotik. I need to change the MAC address of one of the ethernet interfaces, but I put the above mentioned command /interface ethernet set ether1 mac-address=xxx, I receive the message: "invalid item number" I am trying to put the command using winbox "New Terminal" feature. Can I do that in that way or I should login via Command line to put that command?

you have to enter correctly formed MAC address you can take an example from existing mac addess

follow these steps:

Thanks @normis and @janisk
Finally I managed to get the job done

follow these steps:

Code: Select all

How do you revert any MAC address changes?

You set it back to the old MAC address using the same command. If you don't know what that was you will have to reset to factory defaults.

Maybe this? Should have looked first =(

/interface ethernet reset-mac-address

or reset-mac (depends where you read)

is there a similar method that doesn't involve reseting whole RB configuration, but for wireless interfaces?

It resets the whole wireless interface config (including MAC address)

Code: Select all

/interface wireless reset-configuration <wireless interface>

It resets the whole wireless interface config (including MAC address)

But cant use this on remote wireless client ... How can i do it on remote client?

if you require to do this on remote client, you have to create script and schedule it to run in some time. then do reset, and re-apply your settings.

While you have feature available, use them with caution.
