AP with external DHCP?

Hii there,

Yesterday, I have received my new CRS326-24G-2S+ (I will refer to it as “router”) along with two hAP AC Lite (will be “AP1” and “AP2” respectively).
I also have a Dell PE2748 (will be “switch”) in “unmanaged”-mode that has most of my “stationary” stuff (like my virtualization server, my NAS, my gamepc/workstation etc. etc.).
First MikroTik devices I have done more with than just physically setting it up, so I’m new to WinBox and ROS… please be patient with me, I’m doing my best!
I have spent most of yesterday and today to set up the router in a barebones “it works” config and, am now trying to get everything to work the way I want it to.
I’ll do my best to have my goal make any sense in the next (whether it makes sense from a “network topology” aspect is a different story).

First, let’s define my pools (on the router):

  • cabled: 10.0.3.1-10.255.255.254
  • wireless: 10.0.1.1-10.0.1.254
  • wireless-guests: 10.0.2.1-10.0.2.254
  • parents: 192.168.0.3-192.168.254.254
  • parents-guests: 192.168.255.1-192.168.255.254

Ok, now here’s the setup I want when it comes to physical ports:

  • The router will be connected to the WAN (via ether1).
  • Switched is hooked up to router’s ether2.
  • AP1 will be connected to ether3 and will be my wifi (along with a guest network for my guests).
  • AP2 will be connected to ether4 and will be the wifi of my parents (along with a guest network for their guests).

Next, we have the setup I want when it comes to the DHCP leases:

  • The switch should get the addresses from the pool “cabled”.
  • Leftover ports (including the SFP+ ports) on the router should also get addresses from the pool “cabled”.
  • AP1’s main network should get the addresses from the pool “wireless”.
  • AP1’s guest network should get the addresses from the pool “wireless-guests”
  • AP2’s main network should get the addresses from the pool “parents”.
  • AP2’s guest network should get the addresses from the pool “parents-guests”.

And now comes the most tricky(?) bit of it all… the network isolation:

  • AP1’s main network should have access to every other part of the network.
  • AP1’s guest network should have access to nearly every other part of the network except the stuff on AP2 (and it’s associated guest network).
  • AP2’s main network should only have access to itself on AP2’s main network.
  • AP2’s guest network should have no access to other parts of the network (also not being able to see other clients on AP2’s guest network).
  • Everything has access to the internet (duh).

I hope you guys can help me out getting this setup :slight_smile:
I prefer to work in WinBox instead of the command line.
Again, I’m fairly new to this and would like to learn how to do it (I have a “basic” understanding of networking).

Cheers!

I have managed to get most of this working except for the isolation and the DHCP pools for AP1’s main and guest network.
They currently take away from the “Cabled” pool instead of the pools I want to assign them (“wireless” and “wireless-guest” respectively).
