Type: Directory

Global Router ID election configuration. The Router ID can be configured explicitly or elected from one of the router's IP addresses.

For each VRF table, RouterOS adds a dynamic ID instance that elects the Router ID from one of the IP addresses in that VRF:

[admin@rack1_b33_CCR1036] /routing/id> print
Flags: D - DYNAMIC, I - INACTIVE
Columns: NAME, DYNAMIC-ID, SELECT-DYNAMIC-ID, SELECT-FROM-VRF
# NAME DYNAMIC-ID SELECT-D SELE
0 D main 111.111.111.2 only-vrf main
