routeros-netinstall
openbooklet.com/s/routeros-netinstallopenbooklet.com/s/[email protected]GET /api/v1/skills/routeros-netinstallMikroTik netinstall-cli for automated RouterOS device flashing. Use when: automating netinstall, writing scripts that invoke netinstall-cli, building netinstall tooling, understanding etherboot/BOOTP/TFTP protocols, working with RouterOS package files (.npk), using modescript or configure script, or when the user mentions netinstall, etherboot, or device flashing.
Configure or debug MikroTik CMR on RouterOS 7.26beta1: the optional cmr controller package, built-in /cmr/client, routed controller-addresses or neighbor discovery, TCP/54321, independent pairing requirements, labels, fleet scripts, alerts and HTTP webhooks, topology, upgrade rules, package directories and backup/export limitations. Use for a CMR controller or client, waiting-for-pairing, CMR alert or upgrade rules, fleet run-script, or the /cmr menus. Use routeros-quickchr for a disposable CMR lab and routeros-centrs for validated device operations. CMR monitors RouterOS clients; it is not a general SNMP/ping replacement for The Dude.
RouterOS command tree introspection via /console/inspect API. Use when: building tools that parse RouterOS commands, generating API schemas from RouterOS, working with /console/inspect, mapping CLI commands to REST verbs, traversing the RouterOS command hierarchy, or when the user mentions inspect, command tree, RAML, or OpenAPI generation for RouterOS.
RouterOS hotspot captive portal for wired/wireless access control. Use when: configuring hotspot on RouterOS, setting up captive portal, writing hotspot profiles or instances, configuring walled garden, setting DHCP option 114 (RFC 8910 captive portal URI), integrating RADIUS with hotspot, or when the user mentions /ip/hotspot, walled-garden, hotspot profile, or captive portal on MikroTik.
MAC-Telnet protocol (MikroTik Layer-2 terminal/exec over UDP 20561) wire format, session handshake, and MD5 + MTWEI (EC-SRP) authentication. Use when: implementing or debugging a MAC-Telnet client/server, reaching a RouterOS device by MAC address without IP, parsing MAC-Telnet packets, understanding the WinBox-style L2 terminal, deciding between classic MD5 and modern MTWEI auth, or when the user mentions MAC-Telnet, mactelnet, mactelnetd, port 20561, or MTWEI/EC-SRP RouterOS login.
MNDP (MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol) wire format, behavior, and RouterOS /ip/neighbor integration. Use when: implementing MNDP discovery, parsing MNDP packets, working with /ip/neighbor, understanding WinBox device discovery, debugging why a router doesn't appear in neighbor lists, or when the user mentions MNDP, neighbor discovery, WinBox discovery, or /ip/neighbor.
Ground RouterOS config/scripts/API code against a REAL router using quickchr (@tikoci/quickchr) â a CLI + Bun/TS library that downloads, boots, and manages MikroTik CHR VMs on QEMU. Use when: validating generated RouterOS config or scripts against real RouterOS before trusting them; spinning up a disposable CHR for REST/CLI/API iteration; writing integration/lab tests against CHR; needing hostâguest networking for a CHR (port-forward, L2/MNDP capture, guestâhost UDP); driving an external RouterOS tool against a live CHR. For raw QEMU/CHR boot mechanics (VirtIO, UEFI vs SeaBIOS, acceleration) without quickchr, use routeros-qemu-chr instead.
Answer a RouterOS question by asking RouterOS. quickchr boots a real, disposable MikroTik CHR router on the local machine under QEMU â no hardware, no cloud, gone when you remove it â and centrs drives it. Covers the shell path end to end: the add/start/stop/remove lifecycle and what --bg actually does, getting REST endpoints and credentials out of a machine, L2 links between two VMs, and the provisioning steps (device-mode) that only work before a machine's first boot. Use when: checking a claim or config against real RouterOS instead of guessing; needing a throwaway router for REST/CLI/API iteration; giving a shell script or CI job a router to talk to. For TypeScript harnesses that import the QuickCHR class, use routeros-quickchr instead.
RouterOS scripting language and CLI configuration idioms for .rsc files and interactive commands. Use when: writing or reviewing RouterOS scripts, scheduler/netwatch/on-event snippets, idempotent CLI config, :local/:global/:foreach/:do syntax, [find] selectors, print as-value handling, script permissions, or when the user mentions .rsc, RouterOS script, scripting tips, or CLI config automation.
RouterOS packet capture and TZSP streaming for protocol debugging. Use when: capturing packets on RouterOS, setting up /tool/sniffer, streaming live traffic via TZSP, using firewall mangle action=sniff-tzsp, debugging network protocols on MikroTik, receiving TZSP with Wireshark or tshark, saving pcap files from RouterOS, or when the user mentions packet sniffer, TZSP, sniff-tzsp, /tool/sniffer, or packet capture on RouterOS.
