I have two wan connections a straightforward Cable connection where I can pull multiple dynamic IPs (but that dont change often).
The router easily connects and pulls an IP, no fuss no muss putting 0.0.0.0/0 in for default gateway works etc......
The other connection is via Bell Fiber. The line comes to an ONT and then comes out an ethernet cable tot he mikrotik router.
In the router I create.
a. a straight ethernet port much like cable.
b. create vlan 35 using the Base ethernet port as the interface.
c. Use the vlan as dhcp client.
The router searches for the vlan35 network and binds like the straight cable but no routing connectivity occurs automatically
I have to.
a. go to IP dhcp client
b. double click on the vlan35 interface client line
c. go to status tab
d. find the IP gateway IP for the ISP
e. place the gateway IP in the appropriate routing rule
THEN I AM connected.
So what kind of connection is this?
(Should I worry about MTU numbers or anything else??)
