Manual:Console

Applies to RouterOS: 2.9, v3, v4

Overview

The console is used for accessing the MikroTik Router's configuration and management features using text

terminals, either remotely using serial port, telnet, SSH or console screen within Winbox, or directly using monitor

and keyboard. The console is also used for writing scripts. This manual describes the general console operation

principles. Please consult the Scripting Manual on some advanced console commands and on how to write scripts.

Hierarchy

The console allows configuration of the router's settings using text commands. Since there is a lot of available

commands, they are split into groups organized in a way of hierarchical menu levels. The name of a menu level

reflects the configuration information accessible in the relevant section, eg. /ip hotspot.

Example

For example, you can issue the /ip route print command:

[admin@MikroTik] > ip route print

Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic,

C - connect, S - static, r - rip, b - bgp, o - ospf, m - mme,
