Mikrotik-Connector 0.2

A python-based SSH API for MikroTik devices

Mikrotik_Connector

The MikrotikDevice class provides a set of methods to interact with MikroTik devices using SSH. It allows you to connect to the device, execute commands, retrieve configuration information, and perform various tasks related to network administration.

Dependencies

• paramiko
• packaging

Make sure you have these dependencies installed before using the Mikrotik_Connector

Example of usage

Here's an example of how to use the MikrotikDevice class to interact with a MikroTik device:

from Mikrotik_Connector import MikrotikDevice


# Create an instance of MikrotikDevice
device = MikrotikDevice()

# Connect to the MikroTik device
device.connect(ip_address="192.168.88.1", username="admin", password="your_password", port="22")

# Retrieve the device's identity
identity = device.get_identity()
print("Device Identity:", identity)

# Get the license level of RouterOS
license_level = device.get_license_level()
print("License Level:", license_level)

# Retrieve information about a wireless LAN interface
wlan_info = device.get_wlan_info(interface="wlan1", value="frequency")
print("Wireless Info:", wlan_info)

# Retrieve IP addresses assigned to interfaces
ip_addresses = device.get_ip_addresses()
print("IP Addresses:", ip_addresses)

# Retrieve information about system resources
resources = device.get_resources()
print("System Resources:", resources)


# Disconnect from the device
device.disconnect()
