This page documents the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) functionality in MikroTik RouterOS, explaining how IP addresses are mapped to MAC addresses. It covers ARP table properties, read-only flags, VRF associations, and ARP modes (disabled, enabled, proxy ARP), including configuration examples for static entries and interface-specific settings.

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.
MACVLAN allows creating multiple virtual network interfaces with unique MAC addresses on a physical interface, enabling efficient IP address management and distinct PPPoE connections. It operates at the MAC level without VLAN tagging but has limitations like restricted packet reception and requires careful configuration for bridging scenarios.
Network Services documentation provides configuration guides for essential network services including DHCP, DNS, ARP, Cloud services, proxy features, SOCKS, and OpenFlow to support network-facing operations.
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.
The PWR-Line page describes MikroTik RouterOS devices that enable Ethernet-like connectivity over power lines using the HomePlug AV standard, detailing interface properties like ARP modes and bandwidth limits, along with configuration commands for network-key management and device pairing.
This page introduces VLAN functionality in MikroTik RouterOS, explaining how to create and manage Virtual LANs using IEEE 802.1Q standards for efficient network segmentation, with details on VLAN interfaces, trunking, Q-in-Q tagging, and interface properties.
This page documents MikroTik RouterOS W60G wireless interface configuration, covering setup for 60GHz point-to-point/multipoint links, ARP/MAC settings, encryption, and station management with detailed stats monitoring.
RouterOS wireless interface supports IEEE 802.11 standards with comprehensive features including multiple modes (client, AP, bridge), encryption protocols, channel width adjustments, and advanced transmission settings for optimal wireless network performance.
