Need more info on configuration

RouterOS The Dude
1

Hi, I just found this program “Dude” and I love what this is capable of doing. However, I like to found out if there is a better manual than the original one that comes with the software. eg. How do you put in the pretty background like the display picture in the background of the network map? Also, how do you construct a link to a totally different network through a firewall. I have opened the 2210,2211 port and was able to login in remotely. But, I like to found out if there is a way to put this remote network display on the same screen as the local map? Please someone HELP?

We can help you to recover password if you send us your Dude data directory. (Of course if it is not corrupted somehow)
Also, there is no better manual than http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/MikroTik_Dude

Thanks for the prompt reply. My password is fine. No need for recovery. What I am looking for is to build a network map of multiple networks and display it on the same screen. I have many networks I work on that are all doing NAT. They all have a single point of entry with a public ip. How do I make dude see their internal network? It would help if the manual has an example of how to create the submap.

You can’t. You can only map networks of components that are individually reachable. Devices behind a NAT router aren’t.

You could put a ‘dude-server’ within each network, create a portmap to that dude-server on the NAT-router and than mange those dude-servers from a central location.

Thank you for the information. But, what is a portmap? Do you mean submap under the Add + function?

You need a way to contact the dude-server behind the NAT router from outside. In essence, this is not possible… Except if you map incomming traffic on the Dude port (2210) on the NAT router to port 2210 of the dude-server.

This is not something you do in Dude, you have to do it on the specific NAT router in question.

If all this is abacadabra, perhaps you should read-up on IP-networking…

I guess I didn’t explain it clearly. On the remote network, I have port 2010 & 2011 opened up on the NAT router and I am able to see the internal network when I connect remotely. I see the internal mapping just fine and it works great. My question is how to display this network on my local mapping.

Ah, ok, sorry.

Well, the easiest way is to start another Dude-client and connect it to the remote Dude-server.

If you want to integrate the remote networks into one big network map: I wouldn’t know how…

Thanks, I haven’t find the way either. It sure is nice if there is a remote agent that can do that.

Another way is to have a small bandwidth VPN to the network.
That is what we have done, and it works just fine, it discovers every thing in that network segment.

We had to create this network map of each segment behind the firewall on a different map page, that is not a problem.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion. But, I have many customers using NAT on their network and to build vpn to each site may not work out because they all use different kind of routers. Currently, I just open up the ports 2210, 2211 on their router and do a remote login to view their network. It sure is nice to be able to monitor everything on the same screen :open_mouth:
