The first from a Mikrotik router and the second a Cisco router.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In the first example an extra space was seen after “sensitive source=" . In the second example the ports listed in the VLAN output break across two lines, but sometimes only one. In this second example, I have noticed it will go back and forth. Sometimes the ports are listed all on one line, sometimes two. I have many Mikrotiks with many lines of configs, so I haven’t checked to see if there is a recurring issue with the same line or not.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-----------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- add name=startup-tone policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,sensitive source=":for t1 from=1 to=10 step=1 do={\r\n :for t2 from=300 to=1800 step=40 do={\r \n :beep frequency=\$t2 length=11ms;\r \n :delay 11ms;\r \n }\r \n }\r \n"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+ add name=startup-tone policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,sensitive source=": for t1 from=1 to=10 step=1 do={\r \n :for t2 from=300 to=1800 step=40 do={\r \n :beep frequency=\$t2 length=11ms;\r \n :delay 11ms;\r \n }\r \n }\r \n"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- !VLAN: 1 default active Fa2, Fa3, Fa4, Fa5, Fa6, Fa7<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- !VLAN: Fa8, Fa9<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+ !VLAN: 1 default active Fa2, Fa3, Fa4, Fa5, Fa6, Fa7, Fa8, Fa9<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-----------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyone know how to fix this? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Aaron<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
