Configure SNMP on a MikroTik RouterOS device

Enable SNMP on RouterOS, common at branch sites and smaller edge deployments.

What you'll need

  • Admin access to the device's CLI (console, SSH or Telnet)
  • Winbox or SSH access
  • A Zynty account with Editor or Admin role
1

Enable SNMP and set a community

RouterOS uses its own command structure under /snmp.

/snmp community
add name=zyntyRO security=none read-access=yes write-access=no
/snmp set enabled=yes contact="netops@company.com" location="Branch - Lyon" trap-community=zyntyRO
2

Restrict by source address (recommended)

RouterOS lets you scope a community to specific source addresses directly.

/snmp community
set [find name=zyntyRO] addresses=10.20.0.50/32
3

Add the router in Zynty

MikroTik devices report interface, wireless and queue (QoS) statistics over SNMP, useful for branch routers doing traffic shaping.
