hello
i just purchased mikrotik routerboard rb750 g. and i dont have a clue how to set it up. Need guidance here.
here is my scheme
internet—>rb750g—>switch—>7pc(1 server billing+6pc client)
thnks
A 750G comes configured for that out of the box. Just plug the WAN interface (the “Internet”) into ether1, and clients into the other ports. Since you have more than four clients you’ll need an additional switch, so it would probably be easiest to just plug an 8 port switch into ether2 and then the clients into the 8 port switch.
At that point your clients can get a DHCP address from the router, and pass traffic to the Internet. That is assuming that the Internet facing interface is going to be given a DHCP address by your cable modem or DSL modem. If that is not the case, you will need to find out what your WAN IP address (a.b.c.d), subnet mask, gateway (a.b.c.e) and DNS servers (a.b.c.f, a.b.c.g) are supposed to be. Translate the subnet mask into CIDR notation (n) by entering it all into a calculator such as http://www.subnet-calculator.com/ and figuring out the number of mask bits), and then add an IP address, a default route, and the DNS servers:
/ip address
add address=a.b.c.d/n interface=ether1
/ip route
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=a.b.c.e
/ip dns
set allow-remote=yes
set servers=a.b.c.e,a.b.c.f
But none of that is necessary if you get WAN DHCP leases.
If you have more specific questions do post them.
