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. [...]

VLAN Routing Configuration between MikroTik RouterOS | September 27, 2018
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical topology that divides a single broadcast domain into multiple broadcast domains. It increases network security and performance as well as improves network efficiency. MikroTik VLAN routing configuration with manageable switch was discussed in previous article. Today we will learn how to configure VLAN between MikroTik RouterOS. This Router to router VLAN (layer3 VLAN) is useful when any ISP provide connection to one or more local ISPs who use MikroTik Router to maintain [...]

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 [...]

User Management in Linux (Red Hat/CentOS) | September 28, 2017
User management is an important part of Linux (especially Red Hat Enterprise Linux) system administration. Linux users can be administrated using user or group administration GUI (Graphical User Interface) tool as well as through Red Hat/CentOS Linux command prompt. But I will always suggest you to do command line user administration as much as possible because in production GUI will not be provided always. Many people who are learning Linux administration do not know all features of user administration command [...]

MikroTik DNS Client and Caching DNS Server Configuration | April 7, 2019
Domain Name Server (DNS) is an essential part in a computer network. Today web communication cannot imagine without DNS. DNS is a client server protocol where DNS Client requests for the domain name resolution and DNS Server response on it. MikroTik Router has both DNS Client and DNS Server features. The DNS Client is used to resolve domain name to IP address from a DNS Server. On the other hand, the DNS Server feature provides domain name resolution for the [...]

How to Bind Hotspot User to MAC and Static IP in MikroTik | November 6, 2020
MikroTik Hotspot is usually a user based Hotspot access controlling system. Internet access and bandwidth can easily be maintained with Hotspot user based system. But sometimes we may require more control on Hotspot system which is not possible only username based system. So, we may need to bind hotspot user to MAC and static IP address. If we can bind hotspot user to static IP address, it is easy to control Hotspot users with MikroTik Router and Firewall. So, in [...]

MikroTik Hotspot HTTPS Redirect with Free SSL Certificate | June 21, 2020
SSL Certificate is required to enable HTTPS Login and HTTPS Redirect in MikroTik Hotspot. In one of my last articles I discussed how to configure MikroTik Hotspot HTTPS redirect and HTTPS login with MikroTik self-signed certificate. But self-signed certificate is not trusted by operating system. So, we get the following two issues if we configure HTTPS Login and HTTPS Redirect with self-signed certificate. Ask to proceed unsafe site: As browsers cannot trust self-signed certificate, it shows a warning message and [...]

HTTP vs. HTTPS: The Impact Of Using SSL Certificates | November 29, 2021
Google and cybersecurity experts continue to make clarion calls to web admins and website owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS. But is there any difference between the two other than the extra “S” at the end of HTTPS? Not everyone understands the differences between HTTP and HTTPS and why the difference is so significant. In this post, we will discuss the differences between HTTP and HTTPS, the reasons why you need to switch from HTTP to HTTPS, and the [...]
