REST API with examples for developers.
RoMON is a Router Management Overlay Network that establishes an independent MAC layer network for secure router management, using EtherType 0x88bf and DST-MAC 01:80:c2:00:88:bf. It allows ports to participate with configurable IDs and costs, supports dynamic ACL rules for packet forwarding, and uses MD5 hashing
RouterOS scripting enables automation through user-defined scripts triggered by events like system scheduling or traffic monitoring. Scripts use a command-line syntax with optional prefixes, named parameters, and physical line formatting, supporting both single-line and multi-line execution.
WinBox is a GUI utility for administering MikroTik RouterOS with Linux/macOS support via Wine, offering secure connections through AES128-CBC-SHA encryption and ECSRP authentication. It provides simple and advanced modes for connecting to routers, with neighbor discovery for discovering nearby devices while avoiding incompatible protocols.
