Vlans, IP allocations and bandwidth control

RouterOS General
1

Hi All,

A bit of a big ask for me as a newbie but I am trying to set up an RB750 to provide VLANs, IP allocation/control and bandwidth control.

I have 2 IP blocks avaliable at the WAN interface:

Can this be done on the RB750?

Thanks.

From a configuration perspective it can be, but a 750G (faster than a 750) you can route small packet traffic at about 60Mbps - so you’re not going to burst to above 100 as your diagram shows. I’d go with more solid hardware than their smallest SOHO router.

Thanks for your reply fewi. I also have a 450 available to me but I will invest in better hardware once I nave proven that it can do what I need.

Any thoughts on where I should start with the config? I am starting with a completely default device.

Thanks

The current manual is on the wiki. You’ll need to implement VLAN interfaces (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/VLAN), the IP addressing on the interfaces (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Address), possibly DHCP (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DHCP_Server), a static route (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Route), and queueing (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Queue). Feel free to post back any specific questions you have.

Thanks fewi.

This is what I have so far…

Does that look like i’m on the right track?

Ok. I think I’m getting it now…

The only outstanding issue that I have is that my client pc can not access the internet. It can ping its gateway and it can ping the wan port IP address but it can not get out of the RB and access anything.

Is this a route problem?

Could be. Without seeing your configuration that’s hard to tell.

Post the output of “/ip address print detail”, “/ip route print detail”, “/interface print”, “/ip firewall export”.
