MikroTik SNMP Driver Overview

The MikroTik driver is a very basic driver. Their SNMP implementation is minimal. We inherit from the standard SnmpConnector() drivber.

The MikroTik driver is implemented in openl2/switches/connect/snmp/mikrotik/connector.py

MIB support

Info about configuring SNMP is at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/8978519/SNMP The MIB section of that document shows the limit MIB support there is.

MikroTik does NOT support the standard VLAN mibs (Q-Bridge).

Their private MIB can be found at http://www.mikrotik.com/downloads, and extends a few small things. Primary, we use it to read PoE information. Note their PoE entries are Read-Only!

PoE Data

Since there is no standard PoE support, we override _get_poeData() to read the MikroTik data, and parse it in _parse_mibs_mikrotik_poe()

We read the entries under mtxrPOEEntry (.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.15.1.1) which is part of the mtrxPoETable

mtxrPOEInterfaceIndex maps an PoE index to the ifIndex for the interface, so we store that, and create a PoePort() entry for the interface.

Next we read mtxrPOEStatus and mtxrPOEPower (according to the MIB in Watts), and store in the interface PoEPort() object.

Note that all these entries are Read-Only !
