system/device-mode

Type: Settings Directory

Current device-mode settings. The mode and the per-feature switches apply at startup and can be changed only with update, which requires physical confirmation. See the Device mode guide.

Read-only Argument	Type	Description
mode	enum	Current device mode. advanced - For CCR and 1100 series devices; previously called enterprise. basic - For most other devices. home - For home routers. rose - For RDS and similar devices with wide disk use.
allowed-versions	string	Comma-separated list of RouterOS versions considered secure, used to block downgrades to vulnerable releases (for example 7.13+,6.49.8+). An upgrade to a release that ships a newer list updates it; a downgrade does not. Ignored when install-any-version is enabled.
flagged	bool	Whether the device is in the flagged state: the startup configuration analysis found signs of unauthorized access and disabled the suspicious configuration. Reviewed and cleared with update flagged=no.
flagging-enabled	bool	Whether the configuration analysis for signs of unauthorized access runs at startup. Default: yes.
scheduler	bool	Whether /system/scheduler is allowed to perform actions.
socks	bool	Whether the SOCKS proxy in /ip/socks is allowed.
fetch	bool	Whether /tool/fetch is allowed.
pptp	bool	Whether /interface/pptp-client and /interface/pptp-server are allowed.
l2tp	bool	Whether /interface/l2tp-client and /interface/l2tp-server are allowed.
bandwidth-test	bool	Whether /tool/bandwidth-test, /tool/bandwidth-server and /tool/speed-test are allowed.
traffic-gen	bool	Whether /tool/traffic-generator, /tool/flood-ping and /tool/ping-speed are allowed.
sniffer	bool	Whether /tool/sniffer is allowed.
ipsec	bool	Whether /ip/ipsec is allowed.
romon	bool	Whether /tool/romon is allowed.
proxy	bool	Whether the web proxy in /ip/proxy is allowed.
hotspot	bool	Whether /ip/hotspot is allowed.
smb	bool	Whether /ip/smb is allowed.
email	bool	Whether /tool/e-mail is allowed.
zerotier	bool	Whether /zerotier is allowed.
container	bool	Whether container functionality (/container) is allowed.
install-any-version	bool	Whether installing RouterOS versions outside the allowed-versions list is permitted.
partitions	bool	Whether changing the partition count (/partitions) is allowed.
routerboard	bool	Whether changing /system/routerboard/settings options (except auto-upgrade) and the SwOS/RouterOS transition on dual-boot devices is allowed.
attempt-count	num	Number of unsuccessful device-mode update attempts since the last reset; a request that cancels a pending update does not count. After three, an update is refused and a reset window opens for the time set by the last activation-timeout; a button press or power cycle inside the window resets the counter. A confirmed update also resets it. Default: 0.
