Hi guys,
im new in this forum and new using Microtik products. can anyone help me o first setup? the documentation and videos are not simple.
Regards in advance.
Hi, TomosRider .Hi Caluamba.
Can you give us more info?
For what purposes you need setup? Are you going to have some wireless networks? Do you need to use firewall? Is this your core router? How big is your network? Do you have need for dynamic or static routing?
Tnks TomosRider!As far as i understand, you need to setup 4 interfaces, except if you are using IPS or IDS, but there is no need for external HW firewall because you can setup your mikrotik to act as a statefull firewall.
For example, you can assign eth1 to act as WAN(your internet gateway), add second ip scope for your LAN segment and one more for your wireless segment.One more is your backup/failover interface. You can easily achieve this by using Winbox.
Check this great forum for some firewall best practices and study cases. Dont forget to disable ip services that you know you wont be using, minimalizing the security risks.
If you need anything else, feel free to ask, glad that i can help. Cheers!
