Using bridge or is there an other option?

Since an short time we discovered Routerboard en RouterOS, since the delivery of our first RB2011 i learned a lot from the documentation and forums here and use it for some basic things in our office.

Tomorrow we receive our new fiber connection in our main office with an /27 subnet of public ip’s (provider told us they would deliver on PPoE but now it is just an static subnet), because of the 100/100mbit connection and the RB2011 doesnt seem powerful enough we have ordered an RB1100AHx2.

On the fiber connection we will have some tennants and our own office, so we need to distribute the IP adresses to different networks (all with their own routers or equipment), and i need some queues on them, some addresses need 10mbit, others 20 and some flexible what is left.

Also we will connect some wireless (WDS) bridges so we can add a few more tennants closeby so they can use our fast connection.

For this part i think i creat an bridge described in this article: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/TransparentTrafficShaper This waywe can create some limit’s (and priority’s) while maintaining the maximum of the public ip adresses.

Also i am thinking to use some small other subnet’s (like public wireless for guests in our office) behind the Mikrotik through NAT (so i would use 1 or 2 ip addresses for like 4 to 8 subnets i think) so i need to make an (virtual?) interface that is connecting on the bridge and give it an static ip from my /27 so i can run normal nat on this, is this correct?

and in total, are there other (better) way’s to create the setup we desire or is this the way to go?

Make a jpeg of what you’re wanting to do … The only reason you’d want a bridge is if you want different networks to talk to each other, otherwise just plug in each network into the available ports and route them all out ether1.
