Bridge for LAN

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I currently have a system in place that bridges everything to routers. For example: at the main site there is an AP that bridges the WLAN interfaces with the ethernet. The ethernet runs into the router. So the IP of the bridge is 192.168.1.254. At each of the other locations they connect to the AP and those radios are bridged. So location 1 would have a radio that would connect to the AP and it’s ethernet and WLAN is bridged. It’s bridges IP is 192.168.1.253. It then connects to a router. Now for example the links between the two routers appear to be just a cable but really is a wireless link. I am trying to figure out the best way to do this with mikrotik.

Thanks in advanced.

Go to Interface > Bridge, create a new bridge (will show up as an interface to add an IP to) and add physical interfaces to it.

Bridged networks do not scale well. You should seriously consider a routed topology instead.

The only thing that we have bridged though are the wireless units. They are on a “wireless backbone” only. We are looking how to get this routed properly. Thanks for the input!
