Which MikroTik tool provides GUI configuration using MAC or IP connectivity?

• A. WinBox
• B. WebFig
• C. QuickSet
• D. Terminal

Answer: (A)

WinBox is MikroTik’s Windows-based GUI tool that lets you configure RouterOS with a graphical interface. It can connect to devices either by MAC address on the local network or by IP address when an IP is available. The MAC-based connection is especially useful for first-time setups when you don’t yet know the device’s IP, because WinBox can discover the router directly via its hardware address and grant access. Once an IP is known, you can manage the device over IP, which is convenient for remote or easier daily administration. This combination—GUI configuration plus both MAC and IP connectivity—is what makes WinBox the best fit for this scenario. WebFig provides the GUI through a web browser over the device’s IP, so it requires IP connectivity. QuickSet is another quick, IP-based setup tool aimed at initial configuration, and the Terminal is the command-line interface, not a GUI.
