Hello everyone!
I need to implement following configuration
WAN: 1 public fixed IP XX.XX.28.147
LAN1: 1 local IP class 192.168.1.0/24 for local WiFI and video network – link to one switch
LAN2: 1 public IP subnet xx.xx.28.32/27 static routed by ISP through public IP XX.XX.28.147 – link to second switch
Wich router from Mikrotik do you recommend for this configuration and how hard its to implement it? Can be done from GUI ?
I balance between Mikrotik and Ubiquiti switch.
Thank you very much.
It is not clear (to me) what you actually need/want, a router or a switch?
Anyway missing requirements are:
Any MikroTik router with at least 3 LAN ports will be an option. Due to lacking requirements it’s impossible to give more advice.
All can be done from the GUI (both web or desktop, on any platform).
I balance between Mikrotik and Ubiquiti switch.
If you want flashy GUI and lots of marketing…the latter might be a better option.If you want functionality and managability, please choose MikroTik. If you want best bang for bugs…MikroTik it is. If you want to learn and understand…yes, MikroTik.
You can use every Mikrotik product running RouterOS.
interfaces speed ? interface type ? vlan usage ? routing protocols ? routing speed required ? nat speed required ? poe, no poe ? wifi integrated, no wifi integrated ? want lot of firewalling rules ? handle ipv4 and/or ipv6 ? vpn site2site ? vpn roadwarrior ? ipsec needed ? ipsec speed ? internet connection speed ?
are you able to understand cli ? webui ? winbox ?
Have you read mikrotik documentation ? it’s easy for you to understand ?
There lot of others questions to choose your device.
My experience : Before buying expensive and powerfull devices like now, i tried to build a small training lab. I write my needs and try to find answers and solutions.
I found a RB2011 to understand RouterOS logic, mechanism, limitations… and to confirm, i also bought an hexS too.
This was my plan to definitely forget Cisco, Edgerouter, vyatta and pfsense.
I recently do the same for replace all wireless systems.
I had in mind RB1100AHx4 or maybe CCR2004 series
I need WAN interface speed 1Gb, LAN at least two for 2 LAN’s i specified in configuration, each LAN have already own switch with POE so i dont need POE for Mikrotik.
Routing and NAT speed to be between 500Mb - 1 Gb (500Mb limit from ISP, maybe i will upgrade to 1Gb), no wifi, not a lot of firewall, just need ipv4, no vpn required.
I don’t need SFP ports at this time, but maybe from future upgrades.
I need my router to be rack mountable.
I have basic knowledge of CLI, i work with few Mikrotik routers already and documentations its pretty clear for me.
I want a performant router so i don’t have to upgrade very soon, wich can handle traffic from over 30 pc’s, wifi network with 6 AP’s and one NVR with 16 IP cameras.
Thank you !
RB1100AHx4 list 329$, dual power supply
CCR2004-16G-2S+ list 465$, lots of ports you don’t need.
Alternative:
RB5009UG+S+IN list 219$, enough ports for your use, faster in routing than the RB1100AHx4
Thank you for your answer!
Hello everyone again!
I’m back, i just aquired RB5009Upr+S+IN. Now i need to do following configuration
WAN: 1 public fixed IP XX.XX.28.147
LAN1: 1 local IP class 192.168.1.0/24 for local WiFI and video network – link to first switch
LAN2: 1 public IP subnet xx.xx.28.32/27 static routed by ISP through public IP XX.XX.28.147 – link to second switch for local computers wich will have public ip’s from routed class.
How can i do it?
Thank you in advance!
