Hello Guys,

I'm new to Mikrotik . I recently purchased an RB1100 I'm trying to do some basic config , but WOW , that GUI has to much info for me, Maybe because I mostly use CISCO.

Basically I'm trying to turn one port into a WAN port and assign it an IP address , also I need to have a DHCP to give out IPs starting on 192.168.1.1 and some port forwarding to ip 192.168.1.180

Can someone give me an idea on how to do this ?

Thank You

Hi, not much help from me, but if you are good with cisco, you can use CLI on MT. Telnet or SSH, whatever you like.

BtW, no offence, you can answer yourself, with approx. 30min looking @ GUI.

Also, you can try http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:In ... figuration

I know it's still the GUI but maybe quickset would get you going. You could then use the cli export command to see the sort of changes it made to the default config.

Winbox is overwhelming at the beginning but once you get used to it the ability to have multiple overlapping windows visible simultaneously is a massive power user feature. Going back to webfig (or other vendor GUIs) where you can only load a single function at a time feels so claustrophobic
