Configuring a WAN interface

RouterOS General

Hi all

I am a newbie to Mikrotik - I am configuring an RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN via Winbox. I followed these steps:

I am stuck on configuring the WAN port - or better the port which connects to the Internet. The modem has a DHCP server and therefore anything which connects to it gets an IP.

How can I set up a specific port to act as a WAN port please? NAT masquerading?

Thanks all

Set the modem into the transparent bridge mode and set the wan port of the router according to the information you have from your isp. It is not so smart to have dual nat on the way.

There are different matters to do it.

first, group the interfaces in two BIG groups, WAN (alone, port 1 for example) and port 2 like MASTER, the the other port slave of the master.

Second, create a Bridge with the master lan port inside (just it, the other are slave)

Create a NAT rule, with outbound the WAN port and its ready…

After.. you have to assign ip like you want, create dhcp server, create pools, create dns server…
