The script relies on reading your router's
configuration to determine
what needs to be updated. If someone provided a static script, every
time you ran the script it would create 300+ IPIP interfaces, and
there would be no mechanism for deleting orphaned interfaces and
routes. One of the parameters to create the IPIP interface is your
local IP, so simply exporting someone else's configuration isn't going
to work either. It is critical that the script interacts with your
router.
I need export from working Mikrotik router set to route 44/8 subnet as
an example, so I can learn how it works and hopefully create Mikrotik
script that does what is necessary to make it applicable to any Mikrotik
router.
Can you provide me that example? It is just an export of IPIP settings
and routing table.
I do not expect problems with handling replacements or orphan settings.
You could implement this in something other than
Python if you want,
like Mikrotik's native scripting language. I'm not very familiar with
Mikrotik's scripting language so I was not able to implement this
myself. I chose Python because I knew I could get it working quickly
and move on to something else.
I have some experience with Mikrotik scripting and I can try, but I need
something to start from as I was unsuccessful to create such example
myself. Python script that is offered does not work here and I have not
enough Python and Linux knowledge to be able to make it work.
I don't see occasional reliance on an external
Linux server to be a
problem.
I do. First, I dislike my routers to depend on third parties, and
second, I do not have Linux server that can run that script.
You could even run the Python script from Openwrt in a
MetaROUTER
running on your primary Mikrotik router.
This is not available on all Mikrotik based routers. My guess is that,
at least in my area, most Mikrotik routers used would not have this as
an option.
There are so many options here that simply asking
someone else to do
it for you is not appropriate. Go forth and experiment!
This is rude and unnecessary approach. I did not ask anyone to do work
for me. All I asked was export from already set Mikrotik router so I can
have example I can work on to create necessary tools.
I already have several offers to simply establish VPN to other AMPR
subnets and they will do all the routing for me. I decided to first try
to make it on my own.
It seems that you do not understand that I do not need 44/8 subnet
addresses as they are just like any other private IP network. All I want
to do I can do fine using any other private IP subnet.
I want to use 44/8 to spread the word and help others to get involved.
And I am not alone.
When people see how things are complicated they simply turn in the other
way. Do you want me to do the same or to try to reach my goal to make it
simpler, and easier to implement, at least in the area where I have some
experience - Mikrotik routers.
Ok, message received, and it does explain a bit why there is not so much
people involved in AMPRNet.
