Summary
Detect Internet is a tool that categorizes monitored interfaces into three states - Internet, WAN and LAN.
LAN
All layer 2 interfaces initially have this state.
WAN
Any tunnel and LTE interfaces will always have this state. Layer 2 interfaces can obtain this state if:
- interface has an active route to 8.8.8.8.
- interface can obtain an address from DHCP (does not apply if DHCP server is also running Detect Internet).
Note: WAN interface can fall back to LAN state only when physical link status changes.
Internet
WAN interfaces that can reach cloud.mikrotik.com using UDP protocol can obtain this state. Reachability is checked every minute. If cloud is not reached for 3 minutes, state falls back to WAN.
Configuration
Sub-menu: /interface detect-internet
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| detect-interface-list (interface list; Default: none) | All interfaces in the list will be monitored by Detect Internet |
| internet-interface-list (interface list; Default: none) | Interfaces with state Internet will be dynamically added to this list |
| lan-interface-list (interface list; Default: none) | Interfaces with state Lan will be dynamically added to this list |
| wan-interface-list (interface list; Default: none) | Interfaces with state Wan will be dynamically added to this list |
State
Sub-menu: /interface detect-internet state
This submenu displays status of all monitored interfaces defined by detect-interface-list parameter.
