Managing Routers

To start managing your Mikrotik, you first need to connect it to MIVO.

Connecting a Router

1. Go to Settings > Routers.
2. Click Add Router.
3. Fill in the details:
   • Session Name: A unique identifier for this connection.
   • IP Address: Your Mikrotik IP or DNS name.
   • Username/Password: Your Mikrotik API credentials.
   • Port: Usually 8728 (API).

Connection Status

MIVO will attempt to connect to the router in real-time. If the status is green, you're ready to start managing!

Backup & Restore

Protect your configuration by creating backups of your MIVO database.

• Backup: Creates a JSON file containing all router sessions and global settings.
• Restore: Upload a previously saved MIVO backup file to recover your data.

Caution

Restoring a backup will overwrite your current settings and sessions.
