Mikrotik Netwatch script on AP for auto reboot ...
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=56138
First - what this does:
- It will ping test an IP address. This is a remote IP address (such as the Base Station IP 192.168.0.10)
- If the remote IP address does not answer any pings for 5 minutes, then the router reboots.
To set it up - follow these steps using Winbox:
- Go to System>Scripts
Click on the red "+" Give your script a Name (in my example I will use "NetWatchBoot-192.168.0.10"
- In the Source: area paste in the entire line below:
- if ([/ping 192.168.0.10 interval=5 count=60] =0) do={
log info "my ping watchdog is down" ; /system reboot }
Here is the Logic... The above sample will ping 192.168.0.10 for 5 intervals of 60 seconds = 5 minutes If it does not reach the the assigned script NetWatchboot IP address, the MikroTik will reboot
- Click the Apply button - then click the OK button
At this time - we have a script - it is not running or active yet.
- Go to Tools>Netwatch
Click on the red "+" On the Host tab - type in 192.168.0.10
Set interval for 30 min
- Click on the Down tab
Paste in the line below: /system script run NetWatchBoot-192.168.0.10
- Click the Apply button - then click the OK button
Reboot the Router from System>Reboot>Yes
