RouterOS and SwOS

Tue Mar 09, 2021 2:56 pm

Hello guys,

perhaps a little help with my network diagram.

I have a CCR1009-7G-1C-1S + and a CRS354-48G.
I have to manage VLAN's for 16 offices - do I create VLANS on the switch or the router?

So each office will be a VLAN of itself. They cannot see each other on the network.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wonderful.

Just one question.
I check my switch on Routerboard for it to boot in SwOS.
But nothing happens, cannot access it via winbox nor web.

Is this something they missed on this switch?

Thanks!

For my plain simple switch. using ROS, its not accessible by winbox but by IP address only.

Correct, and will have a default IP address of 192.168.88.1. Don't forget to set a fixed IP address on your LAN adapter.
Winbox will show the switch though it can't be managed by Winbox.

There is a lot to read here and research - I'm still learning as I go and I will read all of this.
I have to have 16 VLANS.


Would it be better to make a bridge for each vlan?

The preferred way is to filter the (single) bridge, please read the link I posted earlier carefully.
