Manual:SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an "Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks.

Specifications

RouterOS supports SNMP v1,2 and 3. SNMP write is also supported.

Configuration

To enable SNMP in RouterOS:

[admin@MikroTik] /snmp> print 
       enabled: no
       contact: 
       location: 
       engine-id: 
       trap-community: (unknown)
       trap-version: 1
[admin@MikroTik] /snmp>  set enabled yes

You can also specify administrative contact information in the above settings.

Management information base (MIB)

You can download the latest MikroTik RouterOS MIB file. RouterOS v5.x uses such MIBs:

• MIKROTIK-MIB
• MIB-2
• HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
• IF-MIB
• IP-MIB
• IP-FORWARD-MIB
• IPV6-MIB
• BRIDGE-MIB
• DHCP-SERVER-MIB
• CISCO-AAA-SESSION-MIB
• ENTITY-MIB
• UPS-MIB
• SQUID-MIB

Object identifiers (OID)

Each OID identifies a variable that can be read or set via SNMP. Although the MIB file contains all the needed OID values, you can also print individual OID information in the console with the print oid command at any menu level:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface> print oid
