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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-mndp@sha256:87451dfe642350ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.e70d1fd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
