I’m used to work with Cisco equipment but I’m not sure how to do this on my Mikrotik rb493G at home. I’d like to create different Vlans and interface Vlan and pass them trough the Mikrotik firewall and have rule to go from a vlan to an other similar to what an ASA can do. Is it possible ? If so can someone help me get the basics ? thanks
Vlan’s are not really necessary.
As long as you configure different IP segments for your different network parts.
The RouterBoard will than route the traffic and by using firewall filter you can control the traffic
It is not clear to me what your goal is for the trunk, but then VLAN’s are needed but what traffic is supposed to go there?
I know this isn’t all necessary I want to replicate an enterprise subneting as much as possible. The trunk would be used to connect to a Vswitch on a VMware ESXI machine. I could have DMZ machine such as a squid proxy and IPS running on the ESXI machine but also private hosts on the Insid network.
With cisco hardware I would just create a Vlan for each subnets on a managed switch and put my default gateway for every vlan created on a cisco asa or pix firewall and I’d be done.
