Hi,
where can i find a description between a mikrotek device in router and in bridge mode?
cheers,
Tycho
There really is no such thing as bridge mode or router mode in RouterOS or on the RouterBoard products. Different elements of the same device can be bridging/switching while others are routing.
Bridging/switching operates at level 2 of the network stack while routing operates at level 3. Other features such as the connection tracking used in the firewall operate across levels 3-5.

I guess, you are asking about Webfig.
Bridge mode bridges router’s interface together and acts as bridge between public and local networks;
Router mode makes one (public interface) as outgoing interface and additionally creates masquerading NAT on this port (optionally you can make DHCP-client, PPPoE-client on public interface), local network port is used as separate port (optionally DHCP-server can be configured there).
Yes, ive seen it in the web-based config and ive seen in “some online reference” or wiki the “/bridge” command so i thought routerOS has one mode for using a device a switche/bridge and one as a router.
Thanx for clearing this up.
