Production adapter

MikroTik RouterOS

Drive RouterOS routing, firewall, VPN, wireless, and hotspot through FreeSDN with the full staged dual-gate write contract across 13 feature domains.

Vendor: MikroTikCategory: NetworkingProduction

Production tier: 13 feature domains with the full staged-write contract.

The MikroTik adapter manages RouterOS devices over the RouterOS REST API, spanning 13 backend feature domains. Routing (BGP and OSPF), firewall, VPN (IPsec), DHCP, DNS, queues, PPP, hotspot, and CAPsMAN wireless all use the same stage-and-apply contract as the other gateway adapters, and the adapter adds firmware lifecycle, config backup/restore, topology discovery, and SNMP.

What you can do

MikroTik RouterOS capabilities

One contract across 13 domains

From firewall and NAT to BGP, OSPF, IPsec, hotspot, and CAPsMAN, every domain reads, stages, and applies through the same audited pipeline, so RouterOS behaves like every other gateway in FreeSDN.

Vendor-agnostic topology

Neighbor discovery returns the same nodes-and-edges envelope as Omada, so the topology graph renders identically whether the device is MikroTik or TP-Link.

Firmware and SNMP surfaces

Switch release channels, check for updates, download and install, and manage SNMPv3 users with auth passwords redacted on the way back out.

How it connects
  • Connects over the RouterOS REST API.
  • Authenticates with a device username and password stored as an encrypted credential.
  • The UI provides 13 tabs (9 primary domain tabs plus Firmware, Backup, Topology, and SNMP); CAPsMAN, PPP/PPPoE, BGP/OSPF, and IPsec config are reachable via the API.

Good to know
  • The UI has 13 tabs: 9 primary domain tabs (System, Interfaces, IP, DHCP, Firewall, DNS, VPN, Hotspot, Queues) plus Firmware, Backup, Topology, and SNMP. Four backend domains (CAPsMAN, PPP/PPPoE, BGP/OSPF, and IPsec configuration) are reachable through the API but have no dedicated tab yet.
