Automation with SSH

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

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

How make a map of my net?

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

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

Such a good thumbnail - kudos!

Ansible with mikrotik would be really useful

Been using SSH for healthchecks for over a decade.

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 ?

What about some automation examples with Ansible...

Python + MikroTik examples, please!

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

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

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

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.

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}

I believe python use example will be more than welcome.

cool, wasn't aware of the OR

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

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

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.

do some python mikrotik

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

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