Master port missing

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I am a newbie and experimenting with RouterOS in VMware.
In my config there are 2 hardware NICs and VMware’s NAT (+ I tried bridging with software lopback adapter) and they are visible in RouterOS, I managed to bridge traffic from WAN to LAN, but I can’ tune the internet on the local machine that runs RouterOS in VMware. I guess I have to bridge all the local NICs for that and the guide says I have to set one NIC as Master Port and other as slave ports wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Initial_Configuration#Setting_up_Wireless.
But the problem is that there is no such option :frowning:

Should be like this:

Do I have to set up some options so that master port would appear or this is normal for virtual RouterOS?
If it is normal, then how can I set up RouterOS to make the internet appear on host PC running RouterOS in VMware?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

This option applies when physical switch chips are available and supported - e.g. on several RouterBoard products. You don’t have such physical switch chips available and supported in a VMware environment.

OK. Now it is more clear.
Is there any workaround for that problem (let the internet on PC running virtualized RouterOS)?

Thanks. OK. Now it is more clear.
But is there any way to pass the internet on host PC running virtualized RouterOS?
