Noob question, linking switches

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello mikrotik community,

I just bought a new mikrotik ethernet router (RB2011UiAS-IN).
I am wondering if there is a way to “link” the 5 ether 10/100 ports with the 5 ether 10/100/1000 ports.
My idea was to have a wan entering from ether1 and then having ether from 2 to 10 slaving on ether1

Thanks in advance,

Yes, if there are no bridges configured yet, then create a bridge and make ports 2 - 10 members of this bridge
Assign the LAN gateway IP to this Bridge, then assign DHCP to this Bridge to issue LAN IP’s to clients
