Manual:System/LEDS

Applies to RouterOS: v5 +

Summary

Sub-menu: /system leds
Standards:

RouterOS allows to configure each leds activity the way that user wishes. It is possible to configure the leds to display wireless strength, blink the leds on interface traffic activity and many other options.

For example default led configuration on Groove

[admin@MikroTik] /system leds> print 
Flags: X - disabled

RB Groove uses five leds for wireless strength and one for ethernet activity monitoring.

Configuration Properties

Property	Description
disabled (yes | no; Default: no)	Whether item is disabled
interface (string; Default: )	Name of the interface which will be used for led status. Applicable only if type is interface specific.
modem-signal-treshold (integer [-113..-51]; Default: )	Applicable if type is modem-signal
leds (list of leds; Default: )	List of led names used for status report. For example wireless signal strength will require more than one led.
type (ap-cap| flash-access | interface-activity | interface-receive | interface-speed | interface-status | interface-transmit | modem-signal | poe-out | wireless-signal-strength | wireless-status; Default: )	Type of the status: ap-cap - blink on CAP initialising with CAPsMAN, steady on once connected flash-access - blink the led on flash access interface-activity - blink the led on interface (traffic) activity interface-receive - blink the led on interface received traffic interface-speed - interface-status - light the led on interface status change interface-transmit - blink the led on interface transmitted traffic modem-signal - blink the led on 3G modem signal (eiher USB or miniPCIe) poe-out wireless-signal-strength - light the leds displaying wireless signal (requires more than one led) wireless-status - light the led on wireless status change.

Basic examples

Enable the User ACT LED to show current CAP status on a RB951

/system leds
add leds=user-led type=ap-cap
