FiberOps-Lite

FiberOps-Lite is a lightweight PHP-based self-management and network monitoring system designed for ISPs using MikroTik devices as their core infrastructure. This project is a demo subset of the full FiberOps platform — a more advanced, robust, and production-ready solution developed by CyberCode Labs.

⚠️ Note: This is a demo project, not intended for production use. The full version of FiberOps includes advanced features, improved security, better scalability, and refined UI/UX.

🚀 Main Functionality

FiberOps-Lite connects to MikroTik RouterOS API and provides essential real-time data about network clients and interfaces. Features include:

• PPPoE / Hotspot connection status
• Client IP and uptime
• Current service plan (profile)
• Interface traffic (Tx/Rx)
• VLAN ID assigned to ports
• Optical power and ONT model

These functionalities are exposed via PHP scripts that interact directly with MikroTik devices using their binary API protocol.

🧩 Project Components

File	Description
routeros_api.class.php	PHP class for low-level connection to RouterOS API via TCP/SSL.
FiberOps_Lite_Address.php	Gets the IP address assigned to a specific interface.
FiberOps_Lite_Current_Plan.php	Retrieves the user profile (service plan) from PPP/Hotspot.
FiberOps_Lite_Graphic.php	Returns raw Tx/Rx bytes for graphing bandwidth.
FiberOps_Lite_ONT_Model.php	Extracts ONT model info from MikroTik fields.
FiberOps_Lite_Power.php	Retrieves optical power value (dBm) for ONTs.
FiberOps_Lite_State.php	Checks if the user is currently connected.
FiberOps_Lite_Uptime.php	Returns connection uptime for PPP/Hotspot users.
FiberOps_Lite_Vlan.php	Gets the PVID (VLAN ID) assigned to a bridge port.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• PHP (backend scripting)
• MikroTik RouterOS API
• Binary API Protocol (length-prefixed sentences)
• TCP/IP Socket Communication
• (Recommended: AJAX-based frontend)

---

📦 Use Cases

• Customer self-service portals for ISPs
• Network monitoring dashboards
• Technical support tools for remote diagnostics
• Client-side real-time data visualization
• Prototype for MikroTik-based service platforms

---

⚠️ Security & Best Practices

• 🔐 Credentials should NOT be hardcoded in scripts. Use secure configs (.env, vaults).
• 🧼 Sanitize $_GET inputs to prevent injection or invalid requests.
• 📝 Implement proper error logging instead of plain "N/A" responses.
• 🚫 Avoid class duplication (routeros_api.class.php vs routeros_api_class.php).

---

📈 Scalability Notes

For larger deployments or multiple MikroTik devices:

• Use caching for repeated API queries (Redis, APCu).
• Move to background workers for polling heavy metrics.
• Offload repeated metrics to monitoring platforms (e.g., Prometheus).
• Ensure scripts are async-safe and non-blocking on high load.
