Suggestion for setup

RouterOS General
1

Hi.

I was wondering if anybody could maybe shed some light on my prediciment.
I have the following setup: A Routerboard with 3 mPCI wifi cards (currently setup as AP-bridge). The Routerboard is connected directly to my DSL modem routering PC via Ether1. I was wondering how would I setup the mPCI cards and Routerboard, to have each mPCi card on its own subnet and have the IP of the AP-Bridge act like a gateway? I have read thought the basic setup stuff but I cant seem to find something about how to have this setup or am I just missing something small? Any help would be greatly appreciated

just create the networks with the appropriate subnets, pick a routing protocol or use static routes whichever you prefer (OSPF is pretty sweet).. and route between the interfaces.. If you’re using static routing you’ll have to define all the routes. If you use OSPF it will “learn” the routes based on the ip addresses of the interfaces and what networks you specify within the OSPF configuration.

I’m not familiar with OSPF. What’s the downside using it?

:sunglasses: The upside to using OSPF, RIP or ever BGP is that you do not have to maintain your routing table manually. When a route changes, these protcals will adjust the routes for you.

The down side is that these protocals require bandwidth. If your band width is limited (ie 1Meg) there may be times that your system thruput will be low!! RIP requires the most bandwidth.
