Routing Settings
Routing Settings
Section titled “Routing Settings”The /routing/settings menu is much smaller than some older or unverified examples suggest. On verified RouterOS 7.15.3 CHR systems, this menu exposes a single configurable property: single-process.
Summary
Section titled “Summary”Use /routing/settings to control whether the routing stack runs in a single process.
/routing/settings/printTypical output:
single-process: noProperties
Section titled “Properties”| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
single-process | yes | no | no | Runs routing in a single process when enabled. |
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”Enable single-process mode:
/routing/settings/set single-process=yesReturn to the default behavior:

/routing/settings/printWhat /routing/settings Does Not Configure
Section titled “What /routing/settings Does Not Configure”The following items are not documented here because they were not present in the verified /routing/settings menu:
- ECMP tuning such as
ecmp-modeorl3-encoding - Redistribution controls such as
redistribute-connected - Default per-protocol distances such as
static-distance,ospf-distance, orbgp-distance - Route marking or distribution properties such as
route-mark,route-distribute, orroute-filter
If you need to place a static route into a non-main routing table, configure that on the route itself with routing-table=, not through /routing/settings.
On RouterOS v7, /ip/route/add does not accept routing-mark=. The routing-table= value must be the name of an existing table such as main or a table you created under /routing/table; an arbitrary string like custom-mark is not valid unless that table already exists.
/routing/table/add name=tenant-a/ip/route/add dst-address=10.20.0.0/16 gateway=172.16.1.2 routing-table=tenant-a- Verified on RouterOS 7.15.3 CHR.
- Properties sometimes described elsewhere under
/routing/settings, such as ECMP, redistribution, route marks, or default administrative distances, were not present in the verified menu and are intentionally not documented here. - This page is intentionally limited to the verified
single-processsetting; it does not describe OSPF, BGP template, or routing-filter behavior.
