Just install MicroTik RB750 - Static IP via DHCP

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,
Just purchase a RB750GL and very impress with the features (not too sure how to use but willing to learn). Currently I am trying to replace my existing setup

ISP provider (TMNet Unifi 10MB 1 Fix IP)

Current setup (traditional)

----------------- Dlink DIR-615 ---------- TPLink Router ------------------ Local Lan (Mail Server)
ISP: Assign xxx.xxx.xxx.221 xxx.xxx.xxx.222/192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1/24


I am trying to replace both the DLink DIR-615 and TPLink Router with just one Microtik 760GL
and from the example given on the local distributor I can only see one IP address assign since
it is Static (DHCP) there is no where I can keyin xxx.xxx.xxx.222. I need the xxx.xxx.xxx.222 ip
as we already have a few A Record in public DNS pointing to this xxx.xxx.xxx.222.

---------------- Microtik 760GL ------------------------------------------ Local Lan (Mail Server)
ISP Assign xxx.xxx.xxx.221 / 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1/24

This is my first time on RouterOS and I am using WinBox so I am not sure how to create another interface
for this IP xxx.xxx.xxx.222. Any help would be most welcome. I want to replace both the Dlink and TPlink
because after prolong usage they are not reliable. Microtik is highly recommended.

Thanks in advance.

Go to IP Addresses and add the extra IP in.

Thanks Nik,

My internet access is via vlan.500 which I created. Do I add the ip address to the ether1-gateway or the vlan.500.

Essentially you want to add a second address to the “external” WAN interface?

/ip address
add address=xxx.xxx.xxx.222/24 comment="Secondary address for WAN interface" \
    interface=ether1-gateway network=xxx.xxx.xxx.0

The /24 and network addresses are a S.W.A.G. so adjust as needed to match the primary address. If your WAN interface is different change that too.
