Mikrotik RB vs Cisco ASA

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Currently we are using cisco ASA firewall in our network. It was configured by an Cisco guy.
It have /29 pool configured on it. it is currently doing port forward for mail traffic / web portal cameras etc via public ips. for example 1.1.1.1 public mail traffic is routed to internal mail server, and 1.1.1.2 ip web traffic is routed to internal web server.

It is also acting as a secure VPN server. Employees uses Cisco VPN client to connect to it from there homes. Network Load is very low, currently it handles only 5mb wan connection and 3-5 vpn connection occasional.

My question is can I replace this Cisco ASA firewall with mikrotik? will mikrotik be able to support all the features which is Cisco currently supporting?

If yes can someone please guide me that how I can configure /29 public IP pool given to me from the ISP and how I can bind each public to internal server , eg.: mail traffic should go via 1.1.1.1 > internal mail server ip and portal should be reachable via 1.1.1.2 > internal portal server

There are various options for the ASA so whether a RouterBoard can replace it depends on which options are in use. If you are just forwarding a few IPs and taking a few VPN connections then most likely you could replace the ASA with a routerboard and use a different VPN client.

Ok can you please guide me how I will configure /29 public pool on mikrotik?

as currently the fiber (via media converter) connects to Ethernet 0 and lan is connected with ethernet 1

How I will od it in mikrotik? which interface and what ip should I confiure on mikrotik rb?

sorry being novoice, but I am very newbie and really want to learn this in test lab.

do i have to enable proxy arp too ? (I read about it in the mikrotik forum)

use the mikrotik wiki for guidance in setting up.

first learn the wiki with all the features you need and than you can migrate easily.
