RouterOS is the operating system developed by MikroTik for networking tasks. This repository holds a number of scripts to manage RouterOS devices or extend their functionality.
Use at your own risk, pay attention to license and warranty!
Latest version of the scripts require recent RouterOS to function properly. Make sure to install latest updates before you begin.
Specific scripts may require even newer RouterOS version.
If you know how things work just copy and paste the
initial commands. Remember to edit and rerun
global-config-overlay!
First time users should take the long way below.
Want to see it in action? I've had a presentation Repository based RouterOS script distribution including demonstation recorded live at MUM Europe 2019 in Vienna.
Be warned! Some details changed. So see the presentation, then follow the steps below for up-to-date commands.
The update script does server certificate verification, so first step is to download the certificates. If you intend to download the scripts from a different location (for example from github.com) install the corresponding certificate chain.
[admin@MikroTik] > / tool fetch "https://git.eworm.de/cgit/routeros-scripts/plain/certs/R3.pem" dst-path="letsencrypt-R3.pem"
status: finished
downloaded: 4KiBC-z pause]
total: 4KiB
duration: 1s
Note that the commands above do not verify server certificate, so if you want to be safe download with your workstations's browser and transfer the files to your MikroTik device.
- ISRG Root X1
- Let's Encrypt R3
Then we import the certificates.
[admin@MikroTik] > / certificate import file-name=letsencrypt-R3.pem passphrase=""
certificates-imported: 2
private-keys-imported: 0
files-imported: 1
decryption-failures: 0
keys-with-no-certificate: 0
For basic verification we rename the certificates and print their count. Make sure the certificate count is two.
[admin@MikroTik] > / certificate set name="R3" [ find where fingerprint="67add1166b020ae61b8f5fc96813c04c2aa589960796865572a3c7e737613dfd" ]
[admin@MikroTik] > / certificate set name="ISRG-Root-X1" [ find where fingerprint="96bcec06264976f37460779acf28c5a7cfe8a3c0aae11a8ffcee05c0bddf08c6" ]
[admin@MikroTik] > / certificate print count-only where fingerprint="67add1166b020ae61b8f5fc96813c04c2aa589960796865572a3c7e737613dfd" or fingerprint="96bcec06264976f37460779acf28c5a7cfe8a3c0aae11a8ffcee05c0bddf08c6"

Always make sure there are no certificates installed you do not know or want!
Now let's download the main scripts and add them in configuration on the fly.
[admin@MikroTik] > :foreach Script in={ "global-config"; "global-config-overlay"; "global-functions" } do={ / system script add name=$Script source=([ / tool fetch check-certificate=yes-without-crl ("https://git.eworm.de/cgit/routeros-scripts/plain/" . $Script) output=user as-value]->"data"); }
The configuration needs to be tweaked for your needs. Edit
global-config-overlay, copy configuration from
global-config (the one without -overlay).
[admin@MikroTik] > / system script edit global-config-overlay source
And finally load configuration and functions and add the scheduler.
[admin@MikroTik] > / system script { run global-config; run global-config-overlay; run global-functions; }
[admin@MikroTik] > / system scheduler add name="global-scripts" start-time=startup on-event="/ system script { run global-config; run global-config-overlay; run global-functions; }"
The last step is optional: Add this scheduler only if you want the scripts to be updated automatically!
[admin@MikroTik] > / system scheduler add name="ScriptInstallUpdate" start-time=startup interval=1d on-event=":global ScriptInstallUpdate; \$ScriptInstallUpdate;"
To update existing scripts just run function $ScriptInstallUpdate.
[admin@MikroTik] > $ScriptInstallUpdate
To add a script from the repository run function $ScriptInstallUpdate with
a comma separated list of script names.
[admin@MikroTik] > $ScriptInstallUpdate check-certificates,check-routeros-update
Most scripts are designed to run regularly from
scheduler. We just
added check-routeros-update, so let's run it every hour to make sure not to
miss an update.
[admin@MikroTik] > / system scheduler add name="check-routeros-update" interval=1h on-event="/ system script run check-routeros-update;"
Some events can run a script. If you want your DHCP hostnames to be available
in DNS use dhcp-to-dns with the events from dhcp server. For a regular
cleanup add a scheduler entry.
[admin@MikroTik] > $ScriptInstallUpdate dhcp-to-dns,lease-script
[admin@MikroTik] > / ip dhcp-server set lease-script=lease-script [ find ]
[admin@MikroTik] > / system scheduler add name="dhcp-to-dns" interval=5m on-event="/ system script run dhcp-to-dns;"
