Basic RB1200 help needed - complete beginner

Hi there

This is my first post and am completely new to Mikrotik products.
My customer has purchased an RB1200 and asked me to set it up.
Please go easy with me as its all new - thanks in advance

If someone could talk me though how to produce the following config using winbox - i would greatly appreciate it.


I would like
Port 1 to be Lan
Port 2 to be WAN
port 3 - 10 be a basic switch

I would like router to be on 192.168.1.1
DHCP to send out address within 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.90
Vigor 120 modem is on 192.168.2.1

Port 1 will be connected to another switch ‘feeding’ multiple computers etc etc
Port 3 will be connected to a Vigor 120
Port 3 - 10 not critical but would just like to connect PC and connect to internet

I have PPPoE details from my broadband provider (username and password)

I have the DNS 1 + 2

Any other basic info you think is necessary

Thanks so much guys - sorry for the ‘basic’ post.
I really am a novice but looking forward to playing with it

Apologies if this has been covered anywhere else - new to the forum



Thanks

James

Your very best resource is the mikrotik wiki. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Main_Page

This gives detailed examples, walk-throughs, and in-depth descriptions of everything you just asked.

Thanks for your reply and advice

Can you advise me where i can setup the PPPoE and DNS side of things though?

I can find the other ‘basic guides’ on the wiki using Winbox - but the PPPoE guide seems to not explain it for Winbox (apologies if this doesn’t make sense)

Basically i need to enter the ADSL details and tell it that the WAN port is Ether2.

I have picked up a 750GL and 450G today and believe these have everything else setup for me (correct?)

Thanks again

I really appreciate your help

PPP → Interface → Add PPPoE Client
Here you set the GENERAL TAB → interface port, DIAL OUT TAB → username, password
Make sure to leave all check boxes like they are, except add a check next to “Use Peer DNS”
