RANCID is a system that lets you fetch router configs into CVS. It supports many devices by default but not MikroTik which is sort of a new kid on the block. Someone was nice enough to create a patch for MikroTik. This patch doesn't cleanly apply so here's all you need to get it going in a non-patch method. These docs were made on a FreeBSD system, paths may be different in your case.

  • Edit /usr/local/libexec/rancid/rancid-fe and add this line to the %vendortable hash:
    'mikrotik'		=> 'mtrancid',

Then just add a device as type mikrotik to your router.db file. like so and things should work as expected: 

router.foo.net:mikrotik:up

Issues

  • Mikrotik generates a random mac-address for openvpn server when the config is displayed. To fix this bug, force its mac-address:
/interface ovpn-server server set mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:01
