Actual exam question for MikroTik's MTCNA exam
Question #: 174
Topic #: 5
What is the default protocol/port of (secure) winbox?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Winbox is the graphical configuration utility for MikroTik routers. By default, Winbox connects to RouterOS over TCP port 8291.
* A.#UDP/5678 - Used for Winbox neighbor discovery, not for connecting.
* B.#TCP/22 - SSH service.
* C.#TCP/8291 - Default and official port for Winbox connections.
* D.#TCP/8080 - Often used for HTTP proxy; unrelated to Winbox.
Extract from MTCNA Course Material - RouterOS Access Methods:
"Winbox uses TCP port 8291 to establish connections to RouterOS."
Extract from Rene Meneses MTCNA Study Guide - Access Tools:
"Winbox connects via TCP 8291. Neighbor discovery uses UDP 5678."
Extract from MikroTik Wiki - Winbox Port Info:
"TCP/8291 is the default port for Winbox. Ensure it is not blocked by firewall."
