Where can I see the Advertisements Route in MikroTik?
To view the Advertisements Route on a MikroTik device, specifically when working with dynamic routing protocols such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), or RIP (Routing Information Protocol), you can use either the RouterOS command line interface (CLI) such as the WinBox graphical tool.
These advertised routes are important to understand what routes your MikroTik router is sharing with other routers on the network.
Using the RouterOS CLI
To view routes advertised in the CLI:
- For BGP:
- Access the terminal of your MikroTik device.
- Use the command
/routing bgp advertisements printto list the routes that your router is advertising to its BGP peers.
- For OSPF:
- Enter the terminal.
- Use the command
/routing ospf advertisement printto see the OSPF routes that the router is advertising.
These commands will show you the routes that your MikroTik device is advertising to other routers using the corresponding routing protocols. For specific protocols like RIP, the commands may vary and it may be more relevant to review protocol-specific configurations and statistics to understand shared routes.
Using WinBox
- WinBox offers a graphical user interface for managing MikroTik devices that may be friendlier for users less familiar with the CLI.
- To view routes advertised by BGP in WinBox:
- Open WinBox and connect to your MikroTik router.
- Navigate to
Routing->BGPand select the tabAdvertisementsto view the advertised BGP routes.
- For OSPF, the display may vary, but generally, you will find OSPF details under
Routing->OSPF, where you can explore the different tabs to see information about advertised routes, OSPF neighbors, and more.
Remember that to see advertised routes, your device must be properly configured to participate in the dynamic routing protocol you are using, and it must have peering relationships established with other routers.
The availability of certain options and commands may vary depending on the version of RouterOS you are using.
