please help me...

RouterOS General
1

Hi.

I have bought a routerboard 750G and I have NO idea how to configure this thing… I don’t understand a darn thing in winbox

What I want to get working is:

Port 1 - from ADSL
Port 2 - a possible ADSL 2 option with load balancing

Port 4 - Hotspot MAN
Port 5 - Personal LAN


And a firewall rule that blocks Port 4 - Port 5

Port 1 network range is 192.168.5.0/24

Port 4 range must be 172.16.0.0/16
Port 5 range must be 192.168.6.0/24



So can someone please help me out with this, because I’ve never seen anything as hard as using winbox to configure stuff, it makes no sense as all…

In the past I’ve used kerio winroute for a gateway, and it can handle everything i want to do, but… the site where i want to implement this stuff now, I can’t use a PC here..

So please, someone help me out

Hello

Everything is here http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Category:Manual hope this help

Thanks

Hi yea, thx for that link, I have been looking at at for a past 2 weeks now, and I don’t understand a thing… with the weird terms Mikrotik terms and slangs..

but still no luck, is there a way I can use something better then routeros with winbox on my routerboard 750G

This is just step one. Do you still have the default setup in your router? The RB750 series comes set with dhcp client on port 1. Port 2-5 are set as a switch. These may affect your ability to use port 2-5 as stand-alone ports.

Insure you have removed all ports from the switch in
/interface ethernet

5

isn’t there a method where I can just click and use a proper gui… the typing codes makes me confuse

6

use Winbox for configuration

7

I do, but its makes nooo sense at all, And they call it a gui :confused:

8

Maybe you need to attend some Networking classes first. Why do you need to configure routers anyway?

The default configuration should work fine, just use it as it said on the bottom of the cardboard box. If you want to see the “insides”, it will get very complicated, as this is powerful stuff.

9

Well the basic configure ain’t gonna work, that I can assure you..

I have explained in all in my first post tho… what I want it to do

I want to take my INTERNET and share it into 2 network with different IP ranges and block that 2 networks from each other. but they must use my 1 internet connection, thats it… :frowning:

10

Start Winbox. Login.
Click on interfaces.
Select ethernet tab.
Double click on each interface.
Set “master-port=none”.
Click “Apply”.

No typed entries at all. Is that not a gui interface?

Let me know when you have done that. And normis is correct. This is a very complex piece of equipment. That is why the 750 series comes pre-set as a SOHO router.

11

Yo..sorry for late reply…I had to put up 2 base stations

…I’ve done that thing master port none thing, what does it mean?

12

if you read surfertim post above its means a stand alone port not act as switch mode port.. check this post also http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/how-to-switch-all-port-on-rb493/40836/1

thanks

heheh yea, I’ve noticed that just now… but still I’m lost and the thing I want to do is just 4 clicks on “kerio control” but noooo… mikrotik wants to be confusing people, but kerio control needs a pc, and I have been told that a routerboard will be able to do the job and its seems to be cheaper. lol, and a pc needs a ups and have alot of failure points and its make sound and dust, but I have been playing a couple of hours now, and keeps messing something up, and then I have to reset the darn thingy…fml its 3am, later… I hope someone can help me out, its really a simple thing I want to do


ADSL

for

Network 1

Network 2

and then network 1 must be blocked from network 2, no traffic must be allowed, between then, my ADSL gots it own DHCP server, so on default setting the thing works, but not for the purpose I want to use it for, because I don’t know how to config the dam thing.. :confused:

14

I can’t belief this, no one is able to help me… :confused:
This is so simple idea to config…

15

why don’t u learn some networking? :smiley:

16

I know alot of networking, but don’t know mikrotik routers, I have never worked with one before trol, And I don’t understand the stupid routerboard system

17

OK, if you have the interfaces off the switch, now step 2.
Assign the two ips to each localnet interface.

/ip address
add address=172.16.0.0/16 interface=port4
add address=192.168.6.0/24 interface=port5

Use the correct names for port4 and port5.
You will probably be required to type on this. :open_mouth:
Once this is done, you will want to set a dhcp server on each localnet interface.

/ip dhcp-server setup

Run it twice, once for each interface.
Let me know when this is complete. :smiley:

EDIT: I am switching to my Windows box so I can use Winbox with you.
While you are in “/ip address”, remove the 192.168.88.1/24 assignment. I am not certain which interface it is assigned to in a 750 by default. It might disconnect you if you are logging in to that address with WinBox, so insure you can log in to the router with the other addresses you assigned before removing it.

18

Ok, thx man, I did it, but have used the gui, because, so lets hope I will have the same effect


port4 and port5 both that IP ranges is correct, and the dhcp server works perfectly, now the firewall rule?

This is my setup:

Port 1 – 192.168.5.123/24
WAN - DHCP client

Port 4 – 192.168.1.2/24
MAN

Port 5 – 192.168.0.1/24
LAN

19

No problem! I expected you would use Winbox. I use the CLI notation, but the menu selections are pretty much the same in WinBox.

Is the wan interface (port 1 ADSL) a dhcp client, or are you using a static assignment there? If it is dhcp, then you should be set now. If not, then you will need to set the ip in “/ip address” just like the other interfaces, except no dhcp-server.

Then set the default route.

/ip route
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=x.x.x.x

Then “/ip dns”. Set primary, secondary and “allow-remote-requests=yes”.

Check with a ping from your router
/ping www.google.com

Then a computer on a localnet interface.
That should do it.

Forgot the firewall rule.

/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward src-address=192.168.0.0/24 dst-address=192.168.1.0/24 action=drop
add chain=forward src-address=192.168.1.0/24 dst-address=192.168.0.0/24 action=drop

If you decide to let these nets communicate, insure you add an out-interface to the masquerade in
/ip firewall nat
