How to make MikroTik become a switch?

[artsmolkin]

Hello everybody!

Seems to me, I have simple problem, but Google can’t help me enough…

We have RB750, and we should make it a simple switch, like DIR-100, no more.
For what? I wan’t to have PoE switch, to connect some PoE devices, and those device should receive network settings from DHCP, which is above MT.
Like that: DHCP → MikroTik → PoE Device.

Could anybody help me?
Thanks!

Pick one port, say ether1 and set it’s Master port to “none”. Set all the other ports Master port to “ether1”. If you need to bridge this with a wireless interface, put the wlan and the ether1 into a bridge port interface.

Thank you!

I don’t need to bridge with wireless.
Should I bridge those five ports, or settings Master ports will be enough?

I don’t think you need to bridge in this instance.

… Master ports will also be faster since it happens in the switch chip and bypasses the CPU.
