routeros-mndp skillA

routeros-mndp is agent-read markdown (skill) from tikoci/routeros-skills: MNDP (MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol) wire format, behavior, and RouterOS /ip/neighbor integration. Use when: implementing MNDP discovery, parsing MNDP packets, working with /ip/neighbor, understanding WinBox device discovery, debugging why a router doesn't appear in neighbor lists, or when the user mentions MNDP, neighbor discovery, WinBox discovery, or /ip/neighbor..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# MNDP — MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol

MNDP is the UDP broadcast/multicast protocol that RouterOS uses for automatic device
discovery on the local network. It is the same protocol WinBox uses to find routers.
Every RouterOS device participates by default.

## Why This Matters for Agents

- **`/ip/neighbor`** on RouterOS is the CLI/REST surface for MNDP results
- WinBox's "Neighbors" tab is an MNDP listener
- Any agent implementing device discovery for MikroTik equipment needs MNDP
- The protocol is simple enough to implement from scratch — no library needed

## Protocol Basics

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Transport | UDP |
| Port | 5678 |
| IPv4 | Broadcast to 255.255.255.255:5678 |
| IPv6 | Multicast to ff02::1 (all-nodes link-local) |
| Direction | Bidirectional — same port for send and receive |
| Authentication | None — read-only discovery, no credentials |
| Scope | Layer 2 broadcast domain (does not cross routers) |

## How Discovery Works

1. **Listener sends a refresh packet** — a small UDP datagram to 255.255.255.255:5678 (MAC-Telnet sends a minimal 4-byte zeroed header; a 9-byte form also works — see below)

How to install

Latest version
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-mndp@git:20260626.5284858
Exact content
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-mndp@sha256:ad868fa58e172092

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
