Hello,
I would like to ask you for help in setting up this router.
I need to set multiple static IP for ether1.
I work with 4 computers in the network. So I have to constantly change the IP range, I would need to set it up so that when I connect to the mikrotik, I would be able to get to all 5 computers.
10.10.10.x
192.168.66.x
192.168.64.x
10.0.0.x
It is possible to set it somehow, so that I can connect to all PCs without changing the IP on my PC?
Thanks for reply jaroslav
any idea?
I doubt it, but without a network diagram, I’m relegated to a position of basing that on past experience with other related problems, not the complete particulars of your actual problem.
I work with 4 computers in the network. So I have to constantly change the IP range
This is what has me doubting you, because this claim is a false premise. Everything else built upon it is therefore suspect.
You don’t say what type of “computer” we are talking about, but based on your level of discourse, I’m going to guess it’s running Windows. If true, there are several ways to add multiple IP addresses to the computer’s network interface. If it’s running some other OS, the methods differ, but the concept is the same. Regardless, the target IP dictates the source IP and route your packets take to get to the other computer.
Nothing about this requires the “VLAN” claimed in your post’s title or that you change the LAN-side IP address of the router. There is, in fact, nothing MikroTik or RouterOS related in your question as currently posed. Until you can make that link, you’re pursuing an off-topic matter here.
SO I described it wrong. Here is a picture.
So how to describe the name? I know that it can be set in the network card settings, but I need to connect using WIFI, since I am connecting to a device where there is no access (elevator CPU).
I often connect to other devices, but always with the same IPs, I actually use 4 IP ranges. Is this possible to set? To have DHCP on my PC and depending on which of the 4 devices I connect to, it would take settings accordingly. That should be set, the gate would always have to be set, right?
Multihoming in general, IP aliasing when the multiple networks are on a single L2 interface, without something like VLANs or VPNs to split them up at L2.
I need to connect using WIFI
That has no relevance as long as the WiFi interfaces are on the same bridge as ether1. The technique I referenced above works under that condition, too. The only wildcard you’ve added to the game is…
To have DHCP on my PC
That complicates things due to weaknesses in the Windows network stack, but as long as you’re using a relatively recent version, there is now a workaround.
I don’t need to have DHCP set up on my PC. So the best option is to always change ranges, or have 4x mikrotik for each PC.
I am using Windows 10. The problem is that I have a company PC and I have to enter passwords every time. It really bothers me and keeps me away from work.
so I’m looking for a solution to have my computer set up so I don’t have to enter passwords all the time when changing IPs.
Then why did you bring it up above?
So the best option is to always change ranges
No, the best option is to multi-home your PC. Put one IP for each subnet into the computer, on the same interface. If you give it 10.10.10.2, 192.168.66.2, 192.168.64.2, and 10.0.0.2, then when you connect to the elevator control PC at 10.0.0.3, the source IP will be 10.0.0.2. If you connect to 192.168.66.3, the source IP will be 192.168.66.2 instead, even though it is coming from the same computer, via the same WiFI network interface.
You can continue spending time arguing about it, or you can try it and find out that I am correct.
Not really what was asked but I use (as a caveman) a third party IP switcher in a place where I need once in a while to change the IP settings to access a particular network device.
The one I use:

Changing computer settings is two or three clicks, once configured.
Ok I tested it and when I use LAN cable it is working.
But how can I set up router for WIFI connection ?
Static IP aliasing works on WiFi interfaces, too.
And I repeat: nothing about this is RouterOS-specific. This is generic Windows networking. The same solution would work with any network equipment, from any vendor. You’re off-topic here.
Tangent : thank you very much I will look for some another forums about networking.
