Discussion Of The RoMon Mikrotik
RoMON was abbreviated from the Router Management Overlay Network which is a new feature on Mikrotik RouterOS version 6.28. This may still feature RoMON alien to You, because it is available in a new version of RouterOS and WinBox. Well, to find out more what it RoMON Mikrotik, let's discuss in this article.
The Meaning Of The RoMON
What is RoMON? RoMON (Router Management Overlay Network) is a Mikrotik proprietary protocol (the protocol is only supported on devices Mikrotik), which can make the connection secure layer2 (secure) to MikroTik devices either through Physical connection ( Ethernet) or Layer2 Tunnel.
In addition, RoMON also has the following features:
Discovery and management MikroTik devices via Ping, SSH, Winbox (version 3.0. rc 9 and above).
Able to do discovery (search) the MikroTik devices enable RoMON which has gone through multiple hops.
So with this we can detect RoMON device on WinBox Mikrotik Mikrotik devices even though they are located in a different network segment and passes through some of the other router (multiple hops). This contrasts with the usual Mikrotik WinBox feature, which can only detect the Mikrotik devices is one network only.
How To Enable RoMON
RoMON communication based on parameter RoMON ID taken from the MAC Address of the router. The devices enable RoMON will make a discovery of MAC Address Peer and also data forwarding protocol independently.
This time we will try a simple implementation of this feature by doing the remote router (RoMON Enabled) on a different network to use the winbox. Specifically for this feature as we have alluded to above, we will use the Winbox version 3.0. rc 9 who have supported features RoMON.

RoMON features found on the Tools menu? RoMON. To activate it we just tick the option ' Enabled '. Then we set the parameters of the ' Secrets ' at RoMON Settings. This parameter serves as a device for connection authentication MikroTik connected. For example this time we fill the ' Secrets ' with 12345. According the topology of the example case above, this configuration is also performed on the third router.
When we look at the Settings there is a parameter ID RoMON. This ID is the MAC Address of the router used for communication devices. Can we determine the parameter with any MAC Address in the router's interface, but if we're not the contents by default will use the MAC Address of the router first.
Next after the third router has tersetting such as the above configuration, we will try to do a different network devices remotely by using Winbox.
