Configuration possibilities
RouterOS provides powerful command-line configuration interface. You can also manage therouter through WinBox - the easy-to-use remote configuration GUI for Windows -, which providesall the benefits of the command-line interface, without the actual "command-line", which may scarenovice users. Web-based configuration is provided for some most popular functionality. Majorfeatures:
Clean and consistent user interface Runtime configuration and monitoring Multiple connections User policies Action history, undo/redo actions safe mode operation Scripts can be scheduled for executing at certain times, periodically, or on events. All
command-line commands are supported in scripts Local teminal console - AT, PS/2 or USB keyboard and VGA-compatible video controller card
with monitor Serial console - any (you may choose any one; the first, also known as COM1, is used by
default) RS232 asynchronous serial port, which is by default set to 9600bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stopbit, no parity, hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control
Telnet - telnet server is running on 23 TCP port by default SSH - SSH (secure shell) server is running on 22 TCP port by default (available only if security
