Automation with SSH

[@matelotjim9035]

I'm really warming to Druvis, he would make a good teacher.

[@bucharestcartraffic]

i am using python to grab wireguard interface bandwidth every 5min and save it into a influxdb and Grafana to show data.

[@NowInChessCom]

Of course we want something with Python! :-) Even if it is just a "Hello, world!", something to start with, it would be really helpful

[@svennme]

Such a good thumbnail - kudos!

[@piotrkasprzyk9159]

Python + MikroTik examples, please!

[@felixlazaro2406]

Amazing video!!! Mikrotik + Python videos is a great idea!!!

[@HadiSedqi]

I want to keep an active ssh connection between Mikrotik and my Linux server from within a script. I am able to establish a stable connection to my server from the Mikrotik terminal, but I want to do this with a script as well, so that my ssh tunnel is connected when the time is up. What should I do?

[@grzegorz.rynkowski]

Have you considered providing alternative machine friendly output to your commands (simar to gpg option --with-colons)?

[@LILOREB]

Ansible with mikrotik would be really useful

[@wissman68]

V good series ...nice work! I 'd like to see python in action with routerboard

[@nikolashuminosky6987]

also by using ssh u can push the config, so useful!

[@sohaiblodhi]

I am also doing that and managing it by my own custom software.

[@fagobg]

What about some automation examples with Ansible...

[@713cmartin]

I believe python use example will be more than welcome.

[@mjsun42]

Thank you for the nice video ! One question: Can I use the public key for multiple routers ? Say, I want to access Router B and Router C from Router A, after generate a pair of key, can the same public key used by Router B and Router C ?

[@RB01-lite]

Absolutely, that's how PKI is supposed to work - one holder of a private key and multiple holders of the public key.

[@mjsun42]

@@RB01-lite Thanks for the quick reply ! Also, I successfully installed the RouteOS on NVme SSD, so thanks again ! :-)

[@grzegorz.rynkowski]

Is it possible to backup/restore entire config with scp (to copy files) and ssh (to execute config import/export). Is scp supported?

[@grzegorz.rynkowski]

Ok, the scp is supported. Thanks

[@twada81]

Yes, I want to see Python examples or any other, how to automate changes etc. on routers with using some "maths" and "dynamic parameters"...

[@xgamer]

At work we use ssh exclusively to setup hundreds of mikrotik with vpn, ssh keys, vlan, etc... To bad there is no way to auto setup switchos devices.

[@SB-qm5wg]

Been using SSH for healthchecks for over a decade.

[@wreckedzilla]

cool, wasn't aware of the OR

[@threenine221]

do some python mikrotik

[@BattousaiHBr]

one thing we do on every new install is setting the l2mtu to the max-l2mtu of each interface. not really sure why it doesn't already come this way from the factory or why there even are separate l2mtu and max-l2mtu values. :foreach i in=[/interface/ethernet/find] do={ \ :local iName [/interface/ethernet/get $i name]; \ :local iMtu [/interface/get $iName max-l2mtu]; \ /interface/set $iName l2mtu=$iMtu}

[@Andrew_Thrift]

Some platforms have shared buffers, maxxing the l2mtu on these will use buffer space. The Tilera based CCR1xxx are like this.

[@BattousaiHBr]

@@Andrew_Thrift where can i check up on the limit for these before hitting buffer space?

[@BattousaiHBr]

@@Andrew_Thrift can you provide where you got this information from? after scraping google you are the sole informant of this. not even mikrotik's wiki has any mention of that.

[@nazmang2]

Please scale up text in next videos, font in console is too small 😑

[@gabrielporto.mikrotik]

KZbin has upgraded so you can zoom in on the video on your smartphone or tablet.

[@nazmang2]

@@gabrielporto.mikrotik what about Android TV with 4K display?

[@SiBex_ovh]

You should say about script.auto.rsc !!! This way i run scripts who detect internal stuff e.g interfaces/addresses and modify them in dedication way to only this branch. On end of script is self-remove .auto.rsc. Linux script do massive FTP sendding and reconnect to check if file is removed, if not then list all not done and report as mail to check them.

[@mikrotik]

We have a video about that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHOmaKCJmLOIoNk
