Important Notes

• This page describes the configuration of MikroTik Switches with RouterOS. See also: MikrotikSwitchSwitchOS

• It is assumed that the switch already has a base configuration: see RouterOSBaseConfig

Bridge and VLAN configuration

Extending the ports of a router is the most common usecase for a managed switch at a funkfeuer node. An olsr-capable router (e.g. an EdgeRouter) is connected to one port of the switch and can access other ports of the switch separately. This is done via VLANs: the router is on a trunk port, other (wireless) devices are on access ports. See the RouterOS Documentation on Bridge VLAN Tables for further explanation. First it is advisable to create a VLAN table in the documentation(!) of your node (e.g. a wiki page).
