RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello everyone,

Aim: Assigning a static IP to a MikroTik’s CloudRouterSwitch and connect 10 servers into it. Later these 10 servers will work together.

Background

My system consists of the following:

  1. A CloudRouterSwitch, with 24 ports (Master on Port 1, Slaves from Port 2 to 24) from MikroTik.

  2. Internet : A static IP/GW/NetMask .

  3. Servers: 10 machines.

  4. Physical Links:
    4.1. I connected my static IP cable to port 1.
    4.2. Connected my laptop to port 2 (I can check/update configuration via 192.168.88.1).
    4.2. I connected 10 machines from port 3 to port 13.


    Questions:

  5. Methodology : As a networking beginner, what I need to do here?

  6. Address Assignments :
    2.1. I just need to change the local IP of the master port (port 1) to the static IP address?
    2.2. For each network interface (/etc/network/interfaces) I need to use 192.168.88.3 to 192.168.88.13 for each machine?

Any guiide would be appritiated. Thanks.
