Introduction
Microtek Router OS is an operating system designed specifically for Microtek routers. It serves as the brain behind the hardware, providing a robust foundation for network management and control. As an integral part of Microtek’s networking solutions, the Router OS plays a crucial role in delivering reliable and efficient performance.
Features of RouterOS
RouterOS offers support for various applications commonly utilized by Internet service providers. Examples include OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and multi-position label switching (VPLS/MPLS). Mikrotik provides product support through its community and wiki. It encompasses both professional and general adjustments, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
The software supports nearly all network interfaces (NIC) compatible with the Linux kernel, excluding wireless interfaces, except for Atheros and PRISM build interfaces.
