Hi. I’ve been using a RB450G for some time as my home router (v5.10..v6.19). But now I’ve got a possible application for using MikroTik at work.
Normally on a project we have a machine that has 4 IP addresses in the range 192.168.2.0/24. And we normally just connect a supervisory PC and give it an IP address in the same range and directly access each of the hosts.
But for a new project we have 10 of these machines with one supervisory PC. The supplier of the machine won’t change the IP addresses so that they don’t clash but is offering a Rockwell NAT device http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Networks-and-Communications/Network-Address-Translation-Device for each machine at $750 each. So I thought this would be a way for work to buy me a RB1100AHx2 to play with 
But before work will buy one I need to demonstrate the proof of concept using my RB450G
So I’ve tried to configure the following:
172.16.1.1 (ether1)
172.16.2.0/24 => netmap => 192.168.2.0/24 (vlan2)(ether2)
172.16.3.0/24 => netmap => 192.168.2.0/24 (vlan3)(ether3)
172.16.4.0/24 => netmap => 192.168.2.0/24 (vlan4)(ether4)
172.16.5.0/24 => netmap => 192.168.2.0/24 (vlan5)(ether5)
But no matter how I try and configure the VLAN’s to bridges to ports I can’t seem to get it to work 
. I can’t even ping using the tool using the VLAN as the interface. Any suggestions? Or pointers to a tutorial that might give me some clues.
Thanks
Mike
