Versions:
MndpTray.Core 2.3.0.0, published by Pádár Tamás, is a lightweight Windows system-tray utility that continuously listens for MikroTik routers and other devices broadcasting the MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol (MNDP). Designed for network administrators who need instant visibility of live MikroTik hardware without opening Winbox or logging into the CLI, the tool populates a concise pop-up menu with every discovered device’s IP address, MAC address, identity string, and platform type. A single click copies the IP to the clipboard, allowing immediate pasting into Winbox, SSH, or browser-based management consoles, while a double-click can launch a custom executable or URL template for faster workflow integration. Because MNDP operates at Layer-2, the utility works across VLANs and subnets where the protocol is forwarded, making it useful in large campus networks, WISP tower sites, and rapid-deployment scenarios where documentation is incomplete. The application keeps a rolling cache of up to 4,000 unique devices, automatically purging stale entries after a user-defined timeout, and can optionally write a CSV log for later audit or inventory import. Four major versions have been released since the project’s inception, each refining memory footprint, multicast handling, and Windows theme compatibility so the 150 KB executable can remain resident on everything from legacy XP workstations to current Windows 11 endpoints. MndpTray.Core is distributed under an open-source license and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
