Network and Firewall Requirements

MikroWizard — Network & Firewall Requirements #

Copy of required inbound/outbound ports and external hosts for MikroWizard operation.

1. Server — Inbound Ports (open on MikroWizard server) #

PortProtocolPurpose
80TCPHTTP dashboard access; firmware & package downloads by MikroTik devices.
443TCPHTTPS dashboard access.
5014UDPSyslog listener (default Port).
1812UDPRADIUS authentication.
1813UDPRADIUS accounting.

2. Outbound Connections Required by MikroWizard #

  • SSH to MikroTik devices — default 22/TCP. If a device uses a custom SSH port, allow that port.
  • MikroTik API — default 8728/TCP (allow custom API ports if used).
  • Internet access for updates & license — allow HTTP/HTTPS to mikrowizard.com.
  • Firmware & package downloads — allow HTTP/HTTPS to MikroTik hosts: download.mikrotik.com, cdn.mikrotik.com, and mikrotik.com.

3. MikroTik Device Requirements #

  • Send syslog to the MikroWizard server on 5014/UDP (default) — configurable.
  • Allow devices to download firmware/packages from the MikroWizard server via 80/TCP (HTTP). Firmware fetching from mikrowizard uses port 80.
  • If device API or SSH ports are changed, ensure those custom ports are reachable from the MikroWizard server.

4. Firewall Rules — Summary #

Inbound to MikroWizard server: Allow TCP 80, TCP 443 (dashboard & firmware), UDP 5014 (syslog), and UDP 1812/1813 (RADIUS).

Outbound from MikroWizard server: Allow TCP 22 (SSH) and TCP 8728 (API) to MikroTik devices; allow HTTP/HTTPS to mikrowizard.com, download.mikrotik.com, cdn.mikrotik.com, and mikrotik.com.

Notes: adjust ports if your environment uses non-standard ports.
