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 Load Balancing with 2 PPPoE and 1 Static WAN using ECMP | September 24, 2019
ECMP provides almost 100% reliable load balancing and link redundancy solution. ECMP is a per connection load balancing where connection is marked with source and destination IP pair. In my previous article I discussed how to configure DUAL WAN load balancing with failover using ECMP method where WAN connections were static IP Addresses. But some ISP companies use PPPoE service for their client connection. So, some network administrators become confused to configure load balancing with PPPoE WAN connection because PPPoE [...]
