Hi all,

I’m a newbie. I’ve beed provided by ISP three VLAN IP along with details to configure my uplink. Here in my router only one fiber connectivity has been connected to my ethernet 1 interface. I tried to configure enthernet 1 as my uplink and enthernet 2 as my LAN. I need your help in step by step configuration suggestion regarding my given criteria. I tried to configure both ethernet interface but failed to ping to the uplink VLAN ip. Please suggest :frowning:

You should:

  1. Create a VLAN interface “hanging” from the ether facing your ISP (ether1) with proper VID, say you name it “WANVLAN”.

  2. Assign the IP/mask assigned by your ISP to that WANVLAN interface.

Does the mikrotik ping the ISP end IP now?

If so:

  1. Add a default route (0.0.0.0/0) using the ISP gateway IP on IP > Routes
  2. Add a src-nat masquerading rule, out-interface=WANVLAN on IP > Firewall > Nat

You should now be able to ping internet from the router and any device on the lan using it as gateway.

Thanks mate… I got everything right. :slight_smile: . Now may i ask something new. Now my target is creating a redundency. I’ve one private IP(my private IP) which is using for my home. Goal is if my main up link is down then all packet will use my private IP for to provide user service. I heard it’s not possible. If it’s then could u pls suggest me the way out.

Post a diagram with connections, interfaces and IPs. Handrawn is fine.
