Manage ports in bridge
Description
These scripts are supposed to handle interfaces and switching them from one bridge to another.
Requirements and installation
Just install the scripts:
$ScriptInstallUpdate bridge-port-to-default,bridge-port-toggle;
Configuration
The configuration goes to ports' comments (/ interface bridge port
).
/ interface bridge port add bridge=br-guest comment="default=dhcp-client, alt=br-guest" disabled=yes interface=en1;
/ interface bridge port add bridge=br-intern comment="default=br-intern, alt=br-guest" interface=en2;
/ interface bridge port add bridge=br-guest comment="default=br-guest, extra=br-extra" interface=en3;
Also dhcp client can be handled:
/ ip dhcp-client add comment="toggle with bridge port" disabled=no interface=en1;
There is also global configuration:
BridgePortTo
: specify the configuration to be applied by default
Install global-wait and add a scheduler to start with default setup on system startup:
/ system scheduler add name=bridge-port-to-default on-event="/ system script { run global-wait; run bridge-port-to-default; }" start-time=startup;
Usage and invocation
The usage examples show what happens with the configuration from above.
Running the script bridge-port-to-default
applies all configuration given
with default=
:
/ system script run bridge-port-to-default;
For the three interfaces we get this configuration:
- The special value
dhcp-client
enables the dhcp client for interfaceen1
. The bridge port entry is disabled. - Interface
en2
is put in bridgebr-intern
. - Interface
en3
is put in bridgebr-guest
.
Running the script bridge-port-toggle
toggles to configuration given
with alt=
:
/ system script run bridge-port-toggle;
- Interface
en1
is put in bridgebr-guest
, dhcp client for the interface is disabled. - Interface
en2
is put in bridgebr-guest
. - Interface
en3
is unchanged, stays in bridgebr-guest
.
Running the script bridge-port-toggle
again toggles back to configuration
given with default=
.
More configuration can be loaded by setting BridgePortTo
:
:set BridgePortTo "extra";
/ system script run bridge-port-to-default;
- Interfaces
en1
anden2
are unchanged. - Interface
en3
is put in bridgebr-intern
.
