The IP Scan tool in RouterOS scans networks for active devices, collecting IP addresses, MAC addresses, response times, DNS names, SNMP strings, and NET-BIOS names. It can scan by IPv4 prefix or interface listening, with warnings against conflicting settings.
IPIP (IP-in-IP) is a tunneling protocol in RouterOS for secure point-to-point connections over IP networks, supporting IPv4 encapsulation and interoperability with other platforms. It offers basic configuration options like MTU, keepalive, and DSCP settings, with warnings about lack of encryption.
This page introduces IPv6 addressing in MikroTik RouterOS, covering its benefits over IPv4, address types and syntax, simplified representation with zero compression, prefix notation, and the absence of broadcast addresses replaced by multicast.
This page introduces networking fundamentals in MikroTik RouterOS, covering the OSI and TCP/IP models, their layers, protocols, and Ethernet communication details including MAC addresses and frame forwarding types.
