Mikrotik: Script to re-connect wan pppoe-outx after X hours

Example of Mikrotik Script to execute customized function IF condition matches !

---

Requirements:

• Mikrotik should disconnect wan client pppoe-out1 , only if its uptime is above 8 hours for that single session. There should be several checks like the script should check for following (to avoid errors)
• Check for valid interface name , if interface not found, print error
• Check for Running Status, if the pppoe-out interface is not connected to ppp server, print error
• If the pppoe-out client uptime is above then the defined maximum uptime limit, it should disable interface, wait for 5 seconds, and then re-connect
• Check if interface is in running status, print its IP address an strip its subnet

Solution:

the Script !

 

# Mikrotik Script to monitor UPTIME of the PPPOE-OUT(x) WAN interface, and act accordingly
# Useful when you want to disconnect your wan interface for any reason if it uptime crosses max up time limit defined. 
# Maybe to hide router form Remote PPP Servers uptime Monitoring System

# Tested with Mikrotik 6.35.2 / on RB3011UiAS (arm)
# Created: 8-JUN-2016

# Define which interface uptime you want to monitor, in this example, i used pppoe-out1, you may change it as required
:local PPPINT pppoe-out1;

# Define the UPTIME Limit that will be matched with uptime, Example is 8 hours
:local MAXUPTIMELIMIT 08:00:00;

# Define how long it should wait before re-connecting / re-enable wan interface, example 5 seconds
:local DELAY 5s;
