Oh, yaiy, support for the #MikroTik #Powerbox Pro was added to #OpenWrt in 25.12.4! https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-25-12-4-service-release/250171
I guess I need to reflash a few devices now :D. 7 units to be precise. That way I could also fix the #LLDP stuff that I've had issues with with MikoTik's closed-source #RouterOS.

So have (tried to) set up some #LLDP (+ #SNMP) here on this network. With the goal to easily create automized network topology graphs for documentation and to check that everything is up+running. Two issues along the way:
1) LLDP on #OpenWrt is built without SNMP support by default. Which is necessary for recursing. A PR to fix that is stale: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21080
2) #MikroTik #RouterOS does not allow setting an LLDP management IP / interface. Leading to wrong IPs being picked+advertised...
lldpd: split lldpd-snmp into a separate package by miegl · Pull Request #21080 · openwrt/openwrt

Instead of relying on LLDPD_WITH_SNMP to build lldpd with SNMP support, introduce a separate lldpd-snmp package. This helps users of the ASU, as this makes including lldpd with snmp support possibl...

Mikrotik RouterOS backups: /export is good, but not enough

https://blog.narf.ssji.net/2026/06/12/mikrotik-routeros-backups-export-is-good-but-not-enough/

For… reasons… I had to restore my Mikrotik router from a backup yesterday. TIL:
