Basic Configuration - Mikrotik Routerboard 1100 AHX2

RouterOS General
1

I am new to this product. I wanted to configure it just so ether11 will connect direct to the ISP and one switch group will be used to distribute the pool of Public IPs provided by the ISP.

I have configured ether11 to point to the ISP and ether1 to ether5 are now configured for IP distribution. My issue is from the switchports ether1 to ether5 I could ping each of the hosts connected but from this switch group, I could not connect to ether11 for internet access.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am guessing that your default route is not set properly.

Post your configuration file?

Post your export and a diagram of your network if you have one. Otherwise we are working blind.

This should be a good start:

  • /interface bridge
    add admin-mac= arp=enabled auto-mac=no l2mtu=1598 name=
    Loopback protocol-mode=rstp

/interface bridge port
add bridge=Loopback interface=ether1
add bridge=Loopback interface=ether6

/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] name=ether1 speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] master-port=ether1 name=ether2
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] master-port=ether1 name=ether3
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] master-port=ether1 name=ether4
speed=1Gbp
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] master-port=ether1 name=ether5
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether6 ] name=ether6 speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether7 ] master-port=ether6 name=ether7
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether8 ] master-port=ether6 name=ether8
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether9 ] master-port=ether6 name=ether9
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether10 ] master-port=ether6 name=ether10
speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether11 ] name=ether11 speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether12 ] name=ether12 speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether13 ] disabled=yes name=ether13

/ip dhcp-client
add default-route-distance=0 dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no
interface=ether11 use-peer-ntp=yes

/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat comment=“”
out-interface=ether11

Your configuration is pretty typical if you are receiving a DHCP address from your ISP and NAT’ing that/ those addresses to the hosts on the LAN. That doesn’t sound like it is what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to route the IP addresses to your hosts? Are you trying to bridge them to the host?

Thanks gents for the replies. Thanks w0lt and RouteRite, your suggestions are perfect for what I am trying to accomplish.
