Mikrotik as Hub

Hello, I’m a newbie user of Mikrotik and winbox. With my friends we have to do simple Hub on 5 port’s of Mikrotik RB1100 and don’t know how, we try with bridge, but it’s too hard for us. Thanks.

There is no hub functionality. You can use bridge or switch.

You need a bridge. Add the master ports to the bridge (so likely just ether1 and ether2, ether3 to ether5 are probably a slave to ether2 and thus already switched with them.)

Remove DHCP client from any ether port. Remove DHCP Server from any ether port. Remove IP Address from any ether port.

Optionally add static ip or dhcp client to bridge1 interface.

Remove any IP > Firewall > NAT rules i(ie: the default src-nat / masquerade rule)

I think thats it.

Rater use switching.

double click on ether 2 for example and set master port to port 1

The repeat for port 3-5.

Bridging it will work, but will get you less throughput
