Looking Glass Type Software for RouterOS Request

RouterOS General
1

For Cisco, Juniper, Zebra/Quagga, there are tools made for troubleshooting from a web interface such as Looking Glass software that presents a simple web interface for doing BGP queries as well as traceroute’s and pings.

Is there such a program designed to work with ROS 5.x/6.x ?

I am not a programmer, so modifying someone elses code to work with ROS and SSH/Telnet commands would be way beyond my abilities.

Since this would be a quasi public facing website, I dont want to expose the ROS web interface for this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a website where there are a lot of these tools listed.

I’ve scarcely any BGP experience, but I imagine you can set up e.g. a PC-based quagga server as a route reflector (or otherwise “sucking”/copying/cloning its routes from your Mikrotik) or similar and then use lookingglass on that? That way the quagga server “knows” the same info as your router, but is a little less sensitive for logins and load etc.

Same thing was discussed here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/looking-glass-software-and-mikrotik/61390/10
it has some solutions

but don’t be under the impression that your looking glass / cisco solution is not “public”. LG uses telnet and is insecure anyway
