Winbox Suggest to Dev. Team.

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

I have more than 600 Mikrotik devices, so you must imagine my winbox list how big it is and how difficult is to find someone in some cases.

My suggestion is to put folders in the WinBox list so we can save our devices by name in their folder, and made it like a folder tree.

Hotel Client (<-- Folder, if you expand it you see the devices)
–Main router
–AP1
–AP2

BackBone
–AP
–Station

-Residencial client
– Main Router
– AP External 1

That would save me a lot of headache and im sure im not the only one with this issue hehe..

Thanks in advance.!

You can use The Dude to make a network map. From there you can connect to each Mikrotik device using the context menu.

I use Dude server as a live network monitor, but i dont see it practical, because i dont monitor my clients but i do have it on my winbox list, so if i had folders on the winbox will be easier so i can put it this way:

Cell1:
– client1
– client2
Backbone
– POP1
– POP2
Cell3
– Client1
– Client2 e

and if i can shrink the menu i will only see

CELL1
BACKBONE
CELL3

And i will open only the one i need to instead of having 1000’s IP and try to search one equipment on that list its painful hehe..
