How to Enable or Disable Ethernet at Mikrotik with Command Line Interface (CLI)

Today, my friend learn to me about "How to Enable or Disable Ethernet Interface at Mikrotik with Command Line Interface (CLI)". Here, I will share you about that.

Step by step will be done :

- Open "Command Prompt" in "Start Menu" --> run --> cmd --> enter

- Type "telnet" command with your Mikrotik IP Address--> enter

- Type your log in account, example : admin --> enter

- Type your password --> enter

- In "admin prompt", type "int" (interface) --> enter

- In "admin > interface", type "pr" (print) --> enter (to show all of Ethernet interface)

- Choose number of Ethernet Interface which your want to enable or disable. Here, I choose of Ethernet number 3

- In "admin > interface", type "dis 3" (disable Ethernet number 3) or "ena 3" (enable Ethernet number 3)

- In "admin > interface", type "pr" (print) --> enter (to show all of Ethernet interface). On screen display you will see of Ethernet number 3 will be done to disable.

- Finally, in "admin > interface", type "/quit" --> enter (to exit from telnet program)

Configuration

RouterOS supports various methods of configuration - local

access with keyboard and monitor, serial console with a

terminal application, Telnet and secure SSH access over

networks, a custom GUI configuration tool called Winbox,

a simple Web based configuration interface and an API

programming interface for building your own control

application. In case there is no local access, and there is

a problem with IP level communications, RouterOS also

supports a MAC level based connection with the custom

made Mac-Telnet and Winbox tools.

RouterOS features a powerful, yet easy to learn command-

line configuration interface with integrated scripting

capabilities.

  •     Winbox GUI over IP and MAC

  •     CLI with Telnet, SSH, Local console and Serial console

  •     API for programming your own tools

  •     Web interface

New in RouterOS v4 is the Lua scripting language, which

opens up a multitude of approaches in automation and

programming of your router.
