Python snmp in mikrotik routeros

sure! using snmp (simple network management protocol) in mikrotik routeros allows you to monitor and manage network devices. in this tutorial, we will cover how to use python to interact with a mikrotik router via snmp.

### prerequisites

1. **mikrotik router**: ensure you have a mikrotik router set up with snmp enabled.
2. **python environment**: make sure you have python installed on your machine.
3. **snmp library**: we will use the `pysnmp` library in python. you can install it using pip:



4. **snmp configuration on mikrotik**:
- log in to your mikrotik router.
- navigate to `ip` `snmp`.
- enable snmp and configure the community string (default is "public").

### snmp basics

snmp operates using a client-server model where the server (the mikrotik router) responds to requests from the client (your python script). common snmp operations include:

- **get**: retrieve information from the snmp agent (the mikrotik router).
- **set**: change a parameter on the snmp agent.
- **trap**: send alerts from the agent to the client.

### example: using python to retrieve snmp data

here’s a simple example of how to use python to perform an snmp get operation to fetch the system description from your mikrotik router.

#### python code example

### explanation of the code

1. **imports**: we import the necessary classes and functions from `pysnmp`.
2. **configuration**: we define the target router's ip address and the community string.
3. **oid**: we specify the oid for the system description (`sysdescr`).
4. **function `snmp_get`**:
- this function takes the target ip, community string, and oid as parameters.
- it uses `getcmd` to send an snmp get request.
- it handles potential errors and prints the retrieved value if successful.
5. **call the function**: finally, we call the `snmp_get` function to execute the request.

### running the code

2. run the script using python:
