I would like to install my Mikrotik unit after my cisco router. i have public ip which ranges for 68.208.X.X (6 public ip) i would like my ISP clients to be able to pick ip from the microtik router. I have 2 network card installed on my microtik and a home network is using 192.168.0.x and currently other clients do not receive ip addresses from the microtik only the computer i am on pick an ip.
how shld i set up connection so that the microtik router can be after the cisco router and all my clients on 68.2.8.X.X, will be able to pick ip address and the local hub will also be able to make connect thtough proxy server 192.168.0.1.
You want:
Cisco → Switch A ← MT router → Switch B ← Clients
Is that right?
You want to set up the MT with “ether1” connected to the Switch A. You should set the IP address of the MT with address: 68.208.X.X and default gateway of the ethernet port of the cisco, also 68.208.X.X type IP. The ether2 interface on your MT will need 192.168.0.x address (something like 192.168.0.254/24). Then, you need DHCP on the MT router and NAT for the 192.168.0.x network. The following commands will get you started.
/ip address interface=ether1 address=68.208.X.X/28
/ip address interface=ether2 address=192.168.0.254/24
/ip dhcp-server setup **YOU JUST NEED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
/ip firewall src-nat
add src-address=192.168.0.0/24 action=masquerade
That should get you going. Not certain this is what you were asking for, but it should accomplish what you were wanting to do.[/quote]
By the way,
You could accomplish this without the cisco if you wanted. As long as the cable company is not authing based on the MAC of the CISCO, that is.
