Hi there,
I'm new to the mikrotik world. Hi everyone. I'm excited to be here, but..... This stuff is harder to make it WORK than I thought it would. So I'm sure I can get some valuable learning experience here. Having said that..
I purchased a CRS326-24G-2S+ to expand my home network (run out of port is the primary motivator) I have plans to clean up my IP CAMS, IoT device, remote home (site) access, but before I go there I need to figure out few items in the new realm-routeros (I had been using Merlin software on ASUS and been able to achieve most of the things i needed) . I will post under other threads on specifics. Sorry for the long winded intro.
So over the past few days I have been trying to figure out how to separate my IoT devices (thermostat, hue, lutron hubs) and IP Cameras (after i get the iot to work) from my main subnet so things work faster.
Basically I have followed the online manuals, various forums (including this one) and was not successful. I got there partially but never got it to work .
My setup for now is this.(till i figure out all about RouterOS i need to keep comfortable enough to take place of Asus as my main router)
internet provider modem / router -> Asus AC router with Merlin Firmware (DHCP, DSN, wifi, VPN, traffic usage stats, kid control stuff) -> CRS in bridge mode static ip from Asus router on eth1 (AP - secondary/extender, POE switches / smart and dumb, HyperV & hosts, home media wired, IoT hubs, wired PC/MAC)
I would like to create VLANs (i think it is the best ) with separate subnets for IoT hubs wired for now add wifi later, IP Cameras.
I tired to follow this guide (one of many) that got me closest to what i need in that i could route between the vlans but not get outside of the CRS https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:I ... ement_port VLAN Example #3 (InterVLAN Routing by Bridge) -
What I would like to achieve is to have eth15 and eth16 get ip in the range 192.168.50.0/24 all ports of CRS are bridged on all ports, network is 192.168.1.0/24 . CRS IP is 192.168.1.6 , ASUS router 192.168.1.1
I did create DHCP for the 192.168.50.0/24 network and got the eth15 an eth16 get the IP
Anyone would care to help me out here. Please let me know if I have missed some crutial info or my info is lacking. I know I'm lacking some skills , hence I 'm here.
Thanks in advance and Merry Xmass all.
