Basic Dude Configuration for Nodes?

RouterOS The Dude
1

Hey,

So I am planning on running the Dude on my RB3011 to monitor a set of RouterOS Devices (wAP ac, BaseBox 2, CRS125) and SwOS Devices (RB260GSP). What services need to be enabled on the clients/nodes to get all of the data to the Dude server securely? (SNMP? API? API-SSL?) … and how do I do it securely? Is there a wiki article on this somewhere?

Thanks!

So far it seems that I need to have the standard winbox port open and use the admin user and password… (although I may try to make an account for the dude specifically)… and then I need to make a SNMP community for the dude… planning to use v3 with authentication and encryption.

Any feedback? Anything else?

Pretty much just that:

  • Use snmp v3.
  • If you plan to use ROS login for monitored devices then use secure mode check-box.
  • Use client in secure mode.

Anything difference between ros mode and snmp ?

Those are two different things.

  • ROS login allows server to access remote device over winbox port.
  • SMNP is just for SNMP service
