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: ```text [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 ``` disabled dynamic If there was a problem getting a valid ID, then the item can become inactive. Router ID to set explicitly. If the Router ID is not set, RouterOS can elect it from one of the configured IP addresses. See `select-dynamic-id` and `select-from-vrf`. Select which IP addresses RouterOS uses for Router ID election: - `any` - any address found on the router can be elected as the Router ID. - `lowest` - select the lowest IP address. - `only-static` - pick only statically configured addresses. - `only-active` - select an ID only from active IP addresses. - `only-loopback` - select an ID only from loopback addresses (loopback address is any non-point-to-point /32 address). - `only-vrf` - select an ID only from the selected VRF. Works with `select-from-vrf`. VRF from which to select IP addresses for the ID election. Currently selected ID.
