Mikrotik

Winbox Mikrotik can find/find Mikrotik devices connected to our PC / Laptop network. With this Winbox feature we can know Mac Address, IP Address, Mikrotik Identity, RouterOS Version, and its Routerboard type as shown below:

This feature can certainly help us to identify the Mikrotik that connect to our network. But with this feature will also reduce the network security, especially Mikrotik itself, because it can be found by anyone who uses Winbox. Even worse if the person is able to log into his Mikrotik and mess up the configuration in it. Do not get away ..

If you are using VirtualBox, up to version 4.3 there is no option to auto start VM VirtualBox, or run VM VirtualBox automatically when PC starts up as it does with VMWare. But do not worry, because this can still be tricked by using some tricks.

Auto start feature is very useful when we will create and use Proxy Server, etc. using Mikrotik on PC itself, or do other things. Well, for the autostart feature VirtualBox can we use, there are some tricks that we must run. The easiest and simplest trick is to create a VM shortcut that will run and run it automatically when PC startup.

How to Upgrade / Update Mikrotik RouterOS via Winbox

Performing regular backups of MikroTik configuration may reduce the risk of long downtime due to the need to reconfigure the router when there is a problem with the router. At least if the router is damaged, or RouterOS is corrupted, we do not need to bother anymore config from the beginning. Just restore its configuration from backup files that have been saved before.

But the problem sometimes we are too lazy to just do a backup configuration and save it. Just as lazy as me who has to manage dozens of Mikrotik Router. Tired of having to backup config one by one, hehe:
