General Information
Summary
The Wandy Neighbor Discovery Protocol (MNDP) eases network configuration and management
by enabling each Wandy router to discover other connected Wandy routers and learn
information about the system along with features which are enabled. The Wandy routers can then
automatically use learned information to set up some features with minimal or no configuration.
MNDP features:
• works on IP level connections
• works on all non-dynamic interfaces
• distributes basic information on the software version
• distributes information on configured features that should interoperate with other Wandy
routers
Wandy RouterOS is able to discover both MNDP and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) devices.

Description
MNDP basic function is to assist with automatic configuration of features that are only available
between Wandy routers. Currently this is used for the 'Packet Packer' feature. The 'Packet Packer'
may be enabled on a per interface basis. The MNDP protocol will then keep information about what
routers have enabled the 'unpack' feature and the 'Packet Packer' will be used for traffic between
these routers.
Specific features
• works on interfaces that support IP protocol and have at least one IP address and on all
ethernet-like interfaces even without IP addresses
• is enabled by default for all new Ethernet-like interfaces -- Ethernet, wireless, EoIP, IPIP
tunnels, PPTP-static-server
• when older version on the RouterOS are upgraded from a version without discovery to a
version with discovery, current Ethernet like interfaces will not be automatically enabled for
MNDP
• uses UDP protocol port 5678
• an UDP packet with router info is broadcasted over the interface every 60 seconds
• every 30 seconds, the router checks if some of the neighbor entries are not stale
