RB5009 not able to factory reset

Mon Oct 04, 2021 11:27 pm

Hey everyone,

I just got my RB5009, pretty psyched to set it up. I was playing around with some settings (from Fedora 34 were I was able to connect via 192.168.88.1 ip). As one does, I messed up the settings pretty bad and can no longer connect to the device.

I've tried resetting the device (pull the power, hold the reset button while I plug it in and then wait until I get a flashing light on the SFP cage) and trying to connect again via port 1 over TCP/IP but I am getting 'Destination Host Unreachable. Here's some additional config details:

$ip a
9: enp10s0u2u1u2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 3c:e1:a1:d0:9f:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.88.2/24 brd 192.168.88.255 scope global noprefixroute enp10s0u2u1u2
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::d877:1309:d45:4c20/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

$ip route
default via 192.168.88.1 dev enp10s0u2u1u2 proto static metric 20100
192.168.88.0/24 dev enp10s0u2u1u2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.88.2 metric 100

Re: RB5009 not able to factory reset

I had a similar situation happen recently. When I went to initially connect to this device, I wanted to simply see if it could get an IP address via DHCP via my ISP but could not get it to connect (despite getting one fine with my ASUS RT-N66U, which is of course completely disconnected and powered off while attempting to connect the RB5009). I then chose to reset the config through the webfig, which seemed to go well but still could not get an IP address.

Then I attempted to reset via SSH using the following commands at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... figuration
/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes skip-backup=yes
This is where it seems to have gone wrong. I waited a couple of minutes to reconnect to 192.168.88.1 and could never get connected. I also followed the reset directions at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/pages/vi ... andjumpers and still cannot connect.

If you have the option to use Winbox, this can connect using the MAC address rather than using an IP. You still need the right credentials but once you have them, you can do a full reset using the Winbox application.

If you fully reset a routerboard, and select no default config then it will have no IP address.

You will need to use winbox and click on the mac address when it appears in neighbours.

Also if you don't see it when connected to ether1, try a different port.

Thanks for your quick reply and suggestions!

I was able to connect via MAC address using Winbox. Prior to your messages, I understood that I can connect via MAC address but didn't have access to a PC or Wine to run the app at the time. I've successfully got this RB up and running and eliminated my CenturyLink router and AP.

I have got the same issue, but it doesn't popup under neighbors. I tried eth1, 2 and 8 but no luck. Do I need some specific IP settings in my PC or does it work with DHCP on the Ethernet card?

If you still have trouble check my last post in my thread: viewtopic.php?t=202754 for my newly acquired L009. In my setup, L009 port2 is connected to my ISP modem. If your device port2 is connected to a PC, the same should still work using winbox/MAC addr. Press the refresh button few times.
