What is the default port number for HTTP traffic on MikroTik routers?

The default port number for HTTP traffic is 80. This port is a standard used for web traffic and is widely recognized and used across the internet for serving web pages. When a web browser requests content from a server without specifying a port, it automatically defaults to port 80 for HTTP. This convention is crucial for proper web connectivity and is adhered to by virtually all web servers and clients.

In contrast, the other port options are designated for different protocols: port 443 is used for HTTPS traffic, which is the secure version of HTTP; port 21 is reserved for FTP (File Transfer Protocol), which is used for transferring files; and port 23 is for Telnet, a protocol primarily used for text-based communication with remote computers. Understanding these standard port assignments is essential for configuring network devices and troubleshooting network issues.
