I’m brand new to MikroTik but not networking. I’m struggling with a hEX with 6.43.11 code. The idea is to replace a Cisco 2811 in my lab with the hEX. Currently the 2811 simply provides a single WAN interface and a single trunked LAN interface with 5 VLAN’s, each with it’s own DHCP scope and NAT to the WAN interface. The trunked LAN port connects to a switch that fans out the various VLAN’s.
I’ve been struggling with the configuration on the hEX. The WAN (ether1) and LAN (ether 2-5) are simple. But there are so many places to do VLAN’s that it’s extremely confusing. I just want ether5 to be trunked with native vlan 1 untagged and 4 other vlans tagged with DHCP pools on each and NAT to ether1 (WAN). Ether 2-4 are just untagged vlan 1.
There are videos and threads that talk about similar configurations but I’ve noticed the process seems to be different based on what level of code is installed.
I’ve been using WinBox as I’m not familiar with the MIkroTik CLI yet. It shouldn’t be rocket science but…
