Hi there!
I Have a small network with 8 relays.
all the AP are just set as AP bridge in 2.4GHz.
connected to the 5GHz Backhaul in Bridge
No IP is set to the devices.
All are Mikrotik devices!
It there a way to Monitor this By Mac Address Using The Dude?
Help plz
On a Cisco device you can track any connected device by mac address… An array of mac addresses are stored in one OID that can be hard coded into a probe or placed on a label.
Here is an example of a label.
Bridge:[if(array_find(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.272.1.1.1.8.1.2”,20,10),“40:31:4:f1:7f:ff”), " 1 online", " 1 down"]
I suspect that every device connected to the core device can be tracked by looking at SNMP to determine if it is actually bridging (mac address is in the connected devices oid). Run SNMP walk and search for a portion of the mac address in question. Then modify the above label then put that in the appearance of the main AP.
Just curious but why are you so opposed to adding IP addresses?

I am newbie in MT!
can you please show me how to do this?
I don’t own any mikroTik devices but I imagine you will need to plug a cable into each device and log in probably a serial cable. Check the manual for the MikroTik device you own. You will need to read. There are plenty of instructions in the Wiki for everything you could imagine.
If you inherited this network and have never done networking before you are in over your head and should read as many basic network administration web pages as you can find. Learn IP addressing, how to telnet and ssl, SNMP, ping, trace route, smtp and ftp to get started.
If you have a specific question about the dude and you can’t find it answered by all means please ask so we can help you get up to speed.

Dude doesn’t have the ability to monitor by MAC, you will need some kind of local services IPs on there.
Hello lebowski
Hello normis
thz for your reply
can you please guide me how I can do add the IP addresses and make it work?
Right click on your device in the dude, click the IP address box and type the IP address of the device you want to monitor.
