  • MikroTik VLAN Routing Configuration with Manageable Switch

    A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of computers, servers, network printers and other network devices that behave as if they were connected to a single network. VLAN is a logical topology that divides a single broadcast domain into multiple broadcast domains. VLAN is a layer 2 method. So, a manageable switch is required to manage VLAN in your network and a router is required to route and control your inter-VLAN. VLAN increases network security and performance as well as improves IT efficiency. So, it will be a better plan to implement VLAN in your network. If you have or manage MikroTik Router and manageable switch, VLAN implementation in your network is not so difficult. In this article, I will show how to easily configure inter-VLAN routing with MikroTik Router and manageable switch. Core Devices and IP Information To configure a VLAN network and inter-VLAN routing, I am using a MikroTik RouterBoard 1100 AHX2 (RouterOS v6.38.1) and Level One (GEP-2450) manageable switch. IP information that I am using for VLAN network configuration are given below. WAN IP 192.168.30.2/30 and Gateway IP 192.168.30.1 LAN networks: 10.10.20.0/24, 10.10.30.0/24 and 10.10.40.0/24 DNS IP: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 This IP information is just for my R&D purpose. [...]

    MikroTik VLAN and Bridge Configuration |   September 19, 2017

    VLAN and Bridge are two useful features in MikroTik Router.  These two features are frequently used in any MikroTik network configuration. VLAN divides a physical interface into multiple logical interfaces. So, you can isolate your network into multiple logical networks on a physical interface. On other hand, MikroTik Bridge integrates multiple physical interfaces in a logical interface. So, you can extend your broadcast domain on multiple physical interfaces and can extend your popular services such as PPPoE or DHCP on [...]
