Question

Hello, we are about to deply 80+ TRB140s used as backup service for clients. 

The will have a pretty simply config on each device, they just needs to act as a 2nd gateway for outgoing traffic. 

The devices sim cards are carrier MVNO with a customer apn etc and as such will not have internet access for be able to dial into the RMS. 

-install latest firmware updates.

-Reset to factory configuration (I have noticed that there are 3 network interfaces when the device comes out of the box) 

I have then created a script to run in shell, this applies config we require  (shown below), issues I have with it is

• The static route does not apply (as the interface does not exist?) worked fine on the dev unit but not applying to other TRB140's any way to resolve this ?

Is there a better way of doing this ?

Hello,

I suggest inserting another uci commit network line after #SET STATIC IPV4 ADDRESS   actions and test again. 

Another suggestion is to simplify your static route commands to a single one. For example, you could test on your development device:

ip route add 170.170.0.0/16 via 192.168.1.1 dev br-lan

br-lan is your desired network interface name.

Best regards.

Thank you for the feedback,

When using the command you suggested I keep getting an error.

Example:

root@Teltonika-TRB140:~# ip route add 172.17.0.0/16 via 172.17.249.254 dev br-lan

RTNETLINK answers: File exists

edit

root@Teltonika-TRB140:~# ip route list

172.17.0.0/16 via 172.17.249.254 dev br-lan

it exists in the CLI but does not show via the web interface.

edit -2

also after a reboot the above route is gone, how do you commit this and also make it show in the gui
