Winbox For Macbook
Winbox Download: Winbox is a GUI (graphical user interface) tool or application that is used to manage and configure the Mikrotik RouterOS or Server. There are many ways to configure the server (web, telnet, etc) but the Winbox tool is used to graphically configure your server. The bundle identifier for WinBox for Mac is WinBox.Wineskin.prefs. This free Mac application was originally created by Mike Kronenberg. WinBox for Mac lies within Design & Photo Tools, more precisely Viewers & Editors. Winbox for Mac, Wine based compilation for the Winbox application that offers you the possibility to configure your MikroTik router without using a web browser The MikroTik routers However, the MikroTik routers manufacturers provide to the users only the Windows version for the Winbox application. As many MAC OS users we were fighting with installing Winbox to our MACs. Winbox is a very nice tool, probably one of the best for network management and configuration.
I have a MacBook Pro (the new 13-inch model that just came out, unibody 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) which is running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X10.6.3) and an older iMac (White 17' Intel Core Duo) running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.. X11 is installed on the iMac running Leopard and I downloaded the pre-packaged Winebox version of the Winbox app from the Wiki and it worked. X11 automatically opened as well when I clicked to open the app and came up to the Connect window. I did not actually connect to a RouterBOARD to test full functionality, but I'm just trying to get my MacBook running Snow Leopard to that point. The Snow Leopard machine did not have X11 on it at first so I put in my Install DVD and loaded X11. When I click on the Winbox app the icon pops up on the dock and the Menu Bar gives me the same Wine options as when I run it on the Leopard machine, but the Connect window never appears. X11 does not open like it does on the Leopard machine and even if I open X11 manually and then run the app, I still never see the Connect window.
Anyone have any suggestions or links to How-To's that get Winbox working on Snow Leopard (as close to natively as possible). I don't want to have to hack my machine to pieces to get Winbox working in OS X. In that case, I'll just create a Boot Camp partition and install Windows, but I just hate to install Windows on my machine for one simple app, not to mention I won't have access to my E-mail, preferred web browser, Skype, etc. when I'm in a board configuring or troubleshooting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
WinBox for Mac Winbox for Mac is a small utility that allows administration of MikroTik RouterOS using a fast and simple GUI. It is a native Win32 binary, but can be run on Linux and MacOS (OSX) using Wine. All interface functions are as close as possible mirroring the console functions, that is why there are no sections in the manual. Some of advanced and system critical configurations are not possible from WinBox for Mac, like MAC address change on an interface changelog.
It supports IPv6 connectivity. To connect to the routers IPv6 address, it must be placed in square braces the same as in web browsers when connecting to IPv6 server. Winbox for macOS neighbor discovery is now capable of discovering IPv6 enabled routers. As you can see from the image below, there are two entries for each IPv6 enabled router, one entry is with IPv4 address and another one with IPv6 link-local address.
It has MDI interface meaning that all menu configuration (child) widows are attached to main (parent) Winbox window and are showed in work area. By default the app shows most commonly used parameters. However sometimes it is needed to see another parameters, for example “BGP AS Path” or other BGP attributes to monitor if routes are selected properly. It is possible to upload and download files to/from router using win box drag & drop functionality. You can also download file by pressing right mouse button on it and selecting “Download”.
It can be used as a tool to monitor traffic of every interface, queue or firewall rule in real-time. Screenshot below shows ethernet traffic monitoring graphs.
Features and Highlights
Winbox.exe is signed with an Extended Validation certificate, issued by SIA Mikrotīkls (MikroTik). WinBox uses ECSRP for key exchange and authentication (requires new winbox version). Both sides verify that other side knows password (no man in the middle attack is possible). Winbox in RoMON mode requires that agent is the latest version to be able to connect to latest version routers. Winbox uses AES128-CBC-SHA as encryption algorithm (requires winbox version 3.14 or above).
