Install RouterOS in existing network

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi folks,

I do have a demo network 192.168.10.0/24. This network is used for demonstrations of different products. My goal is to integrate RouterOS in 192.168.10.0/24 and access it via the web interface where I can demonstrate MikroTik features. I want to connect the Mikrotik router to the existing switch, and eventually add one host to MikroTik LAN to have some traffic going on.

I am a bit confused about how to do it. The MikroTik router has a default IP 192.168.88.1/24, when I change it to 192.168.10.x - it doesn’t work. Do I need to connect MikroTik WAN to the existing switch or I need to connect MikroTik LAN to the existing switch. How to configure it?

Thank you in advance.

Best
YAz

I would:

  • Reset the device, no default configuration
  • Create a bridge
  • Add all interfaces to the bridge
  • Add DHCP client to the bridge

After this, you can browse to the IP assigned to the RB.

What would you like to demonstrate?
