Is there any way to manage multiple RBs at the same time with Mikrotik? Like I have 135aps that I need to send changes to with 1 click? I know I can have winbox with 135 entries saved but I’m looking for something easier.
Thanks
If you know how to write shell scripts for Linux, BSD, etc, or write PHP scripts, you could script it to login to each mikrotik (with a provided list of IP addresses) and run a specified list of commands on each one.
Basically, you would need a list of IP Addresses and username/passwords that corresponded to each device, and then tell your script to use this list to login to each one.
I know with shell scripting (PHP too, I would imagine) you could use keys instead of passwords to login, but unless you’ve set that up already, you’re probably stuck with using a username/password to login to each one of them. I say that, because it’s tricky (impossible?) to have a script automatically login via SSH using a password.
For using SSH in PHP, here are a few links I had bookmarked:

Edit: Technically, if one were creative enough, you could make a browser-based management interface with saved profiles for each device (IP, Username, Password, Description)… similar to Winbox. Of course, there’s already a WebBox provided with MikroTik, but it’s not (yet) as advanced as WinBox.
Hey Zorker, check out Josh Kuo’s perl script here:

I was looking for help on something else and came across this.. thought it might be handy.
