I'm brand new to routerboard, so please bear with me.
I just purchased a crs125-24g-15-2hnd-in and have been fighting with it for about 2 days now. I am trying to set up the following configuration:
eth1->ISP
eth2-8 & wireless->subnet 1(10.x.x.x/8)
eth9-16->subnet 2 (172.16.x.x/16)
eth17-24->subnet 3 (192.168.12.x/24)
(although so far, I've only been able to successfully set /24 addresses)
For now, I want the switch to handle DHCP and DNS for all three subnets. The real servers will be coming later.
Later I will be setting up firewall rules (and hopefully NAT) so that subnet 3 can only access 1&2, subnet 2 can access 1 and ISP, subnet 1 can only access ISP
I was fighting with routeros 6.6, but had it upgrade to 6.17 just before posting this.
eth1-8 & wireless appear to be fine out of the box. I configured 9 with master none and designated 10-16 to have 9 as master. Also did the same for 17-24, and got DHCP to work on all three subnets.
I have been attempting every which way I can look up to set up static routes (preferably) or bridge the connections, but the routes never seem to go active and bridging attempts disable DHCP on the subnets.
Any assistance or steps you could provide will be helpful. I will probably reset to factory defaults again before implementing them, so any settings you may have questions about can be assumed to be factory default.
