Hi Alex, You need to declare the variables outside of the if statement to be able to access them, otherwise they're only accessible from the scope of which they were created in. For example: # set local hostname :global hostname [/system identity get name] :global LocalIP :global ManagementIP :global PublicIP :global PrivateIP :global RouterID :if ( $hostname = "artr1" ) \ do={ :global LocalIP 192.168.0.1 :global ManagementIP 1.3.8.72 ... This will work.
