Some of RBs on my network do not use TCP 8291 for winbox.
e.g. use 8292 instead of 8291

How to use winbox tool in The Dude

hi
you can edit or view port number of winbox with follow this:
ip service print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
# NAME PORT ADDRESS CERTIFICATE
0 telnet 23 0.0.0.0/0
1 ftp 21 0.0.0.0/0
2 www 80 0.0.0.0/0
3 ssh 22 0.0.0.0/0
4 X www-ssl 443 0.0.0.0/0 none
5 winbox 8291 0.0.0.0/0

you can edit or view port number of winbox

I know how I can change the winbox port!
I want to use it without change winbox port?

Did you try something like 192.168.88.1:8292

Did you try something like 192.168.88.1:8292

yeah
When I connect via winbox use 192.168.88.1:8292 but when add this router to dude as a device and assign password to the device, just can use tcp port 8291 for winbox tool.

shahbazian, I actually understand your question I too would like a answer to this one.

I use the DUDE to connect to devices with the built in winbox tool

For security I have changed the winbox port in my devices

How can I change the default winbox port in the DUDE?

How can I change the default winbox port in the DUDE?

yeah
I have exactly the same.
But I can not find any answer for it, and apparently there's not any way unless the Winbox port back to default.

Ok over to the feature request forum then

Looking deeper i think the answer lies here in the tools Anybody out there know how to make this tool use a different port?

By adding the following command to the dude tools list can be partly solved this obstacle. But there are still several challenges:
First, "drive:\winbox_path" is different in different computers.
Then, Dude can't connect to the device and read more information from that.

I think if MikroTik add one option to determine winbox port in the dude will solve this problem.

I have had similar issues with different drives being used on different PCs and have solved it for tools that are "stand-alone executables" like PuTTY by:

1. Creating a "tools" share on the Dude server and give everyone (at least all your Dude users anyway) read access
2. Specifying the tool as - \\<Dude_Server>\tools\<tool_executable> [Device.firstaddress]

I dont know if Winbox is standalone but if so then this should help you out.

Do the Following...

open dude and go to tools on the left hand menu

Click on the + to create new tool - call it something like winbox8292 or whatever you like that will be unique to what is there already

now create it with the following variable content

"C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\winbox.exe" [Device.FirstAddress]:8292 [Device.UserName] [Device.Password]

where "C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\winbox.exe" is your location of the winbox.exe file

Note the spaces - it tells the variable it is the next field

Save that

now if you go to the mikrotik device on your - right click and select the tool that you just created

Should connect on correct port
