<<[[:TableOfContents|TableOfContents]]>> ====== 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|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 [[[https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/28606465/Bridge+VLAN+Table#BridgeVLANTable-Trunk%2FAccessportsetup|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).
