MikroTik offers multiple ways to access and manage your devices, providing flexibility depending on environmental needs and configuration.
Here are the main ways of accessing MikroTik equipment management:
- WinBox: It is a graphical configuration tool that runs on Windows and offers a complete user interface for managing MikroTik devices. WinBox allows users to configure the router and its functions without using line commands.
- WebFig: It is the web interface for managing MikroTik devices. Similar in functionality to WinBox, WebFig allows users to access the router from a web browser, providing a graphical interface for configuration.
- SSH (Secure Shell): Allows secure remote access via the command line. Users can connect to MikroTik via SSH to manage the system using RouterOS command-line interface (CLI).
- telnet: It is another command line access method, although it is less secure than SSH because it does not encrypt the connection, making it more susceptible to data interception.
- RouterOS API: The RouterOS API allows developers to create custom applications to manage MikroTik devices, offering a programmatic way to interact with the router.
- Serial Console: For low-level access or system recovery, MikroTik also provides access through the serial console, which can be useful especially in situations where there is no network access.
These access options provide network administrators and technicians with a versatile range of tools to handle simple to complex configurations, ensuring they can manage their MikroTik devices effectively and securely in different scenarios.
