Greetings to all,
Current Situation at my home-network:
- 1 Subnet (192.168.178.0/24) with DSL-Hardware (FritzBox) doing DHCP, all clients are connected to WLAN / LAN to this box.
Situation I'd like to realize:
- Still 1 Subnet (192.168.178.0/24) wit DSL-Hardware doing DHCP
- RB941-2nD Connected to Router (kind of acting as a Switch), DHCP-Proxy set, (ether1, 192.168.178.xxx)
- "Special" Devices I'd like to firewall connected to RB941-2nD (ether2 - ether4, 192.168.178.x)
- Firewall-Rules control traffic of connected devices (ether 2 - 4) to OTHER Devices connected directly to FritzBox and / or the Internet
What I realized:
Everything above, but with a separate Subnet on RB941-2nD and NAT.
So with my beginner's knowledge to RouterOS I'm only able to create a second Subnet and work with NAT and Firewall-rules.
The Reason why I'd like to have everything in ONE subnet is based on some services relying on broadcast (e.g. a MineCraft-Server on Raspi which is otherwise not found as a "local game" for my kids and they would need to sign in to Microsoft to connect...)
Is this even possible? I tried to bridge all ports but this is giving me the same subnet (which is good), but firewall-rules are not possible for a bridged network... am I correct?
Thanks for your Ideas appreciate your input to this,
Stay safe,
Martin!
