Not all of the RouterBOARDS with USB ports have the same supported features. This article list all supported USB features by each RouterBOARD.

USB power reset

Available properties:

  • duration (time; Default: "3s") - Time interval how long power is turned off.

For example, "/system routerboard usb power-reset duration=10s" will turn off USB port power for 10 seconds.

RB2011 series have micro USB port which operates in host mode when USB device is attached through USB OTG cable. Some vendor cables require forced host mode to recognize connected device.

Available properties:

  • usb-mode (automatic | force-host; Default: "automatic") - Defines USB port mode.
