I use it all the time - and can report that RoMON is bloody marvellous! :-D Cheers! Mike.

Steve,

You may also want to investigate the possibility of using RoMON (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:RoMON) to help you manage the device at layer 2 when they are not layer 2 accessible to your PC.

Quote: RoMON stands for "Router Management Overlay Network". RoMON works by establishing independent MAC layer peer discovery and data forwarding network. RoMON network operates independently from L2 or L3 forwarding configuration.

I haven't used this myself yet as we generally have layer 3 connectivity to our devices, but can definitely see some use cases.

Regards, Philip
