/routing/id
Global Router ID election configuration. ID can be configured explicitly or set to be elected from one of the Routers IP addresses.
For each VRF table RouterOS adds dynamic ID instance, that elects the ID from one of the IP addresses belonging to a particular VRF:
[admin@rack1_b33_CCR1036] /routing/id> print Flags: D - DYNAMIC, I - INACTIVE Columns: NAME, DYNAMIC-ID, SELECT-DYNAMIC-ID, SELECT-FROM-VRF # NAME DYNAMIC-ID SELECT-D SELE 0 D main 111.111.111.2 only-vrf main
Configuration Options
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| comment (string) | |
| disabled (yes | no) | ID reference is not used. |
| id(IP) | Parameter to explicitly set the Router ID. If ID is not explicitly specified, then it can be elected from one of the configured IP addresses on the router. See parameters select-dynamic-id and select-from-vrf. |
| name (string) | Reference name |
| select-dynamic-id(any | lowest | only-active | only-loopback | only-static | only-vrf) | States what IP addresses to use for the ID election:
|
| select-from-vrf (name) | VRF from which to select IP addresses for the ID election. |
Read-only Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| dynamic (yes | no) | |
| dynamic-id (IP) | Currently selected ID. |
| inactive (yes | no) | If there was a problem to get a valid ID, then item can become inactive. |
/routing/table
If custom routing table is required, it should be defined in this menu prior to use it anywhere in the configuration.
By default RouterOS defines 'main' routing table which adds routes in the FIB.
[admin@rack1_b33_CCR1036] /routing/table> print Flags: D - dynamic; X - disabled, I - invalid; U - used 0 D name="main" fib
Configuration Example
Let's consider a basic example where we want to resolve 8.8.8.8 only in the routing table named 'myTable' to the gateway 172.16.1.1:
/routing table add name=myTable fib /routing rule add dst-address=8.8.8.8 action=lookup-only-in-table table=myTable /ip route add dst-address=8.8.8.8 gateway=172.16.1.1@main routing-table=myTable
Configuration Options
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| comment (string) | |
| disabled (yes | no) | ID reference is not used. |
| fib() | Flag indicating whether routing table should add routes in the FIB. |
| name (string) | Name of the routing table |
