Both the Fritz!Box 7340 and MikroTik hAP ac lite router currently act as DHCP servers, effectively splitting the network in two LANs. The MikroTik router was also configured as a bridge for the
Code: Select all
192.168.88.xxx
In order to avoid the trouble of double NAT, I would like to reconfigure the MikroTik hAP ac lite as a Layer 2 switch. There are advantages of doing so over double NATing.
All DHCP and NAT should be handled exclusively by the Fritz!Box. Furthermore, the MikroTik hAP ac lite should have a static IP address in the same local IP address range so it can still be managed over its web interface.
The Fritz!Box configuration is not an issue. However, I am an utter newbie managing MikroTik's RouterOS and I found no instructions on the web concerning this specific problem. Hence, my question:
What are the (detailed) steps to configure a MikroTik hAP ac lite as a Layer 2 switch, removing its DHCP server whilst keeping a static IP address for management?
By the way, I am on GNU/Linux, so using Winbox is not an option for me.
