Transparent IP Mode

Fri Nov 27, 2020 6:20 pm

Good morning

someone know how to activate the transparent mode on the Mikrotik.
we do it very well on the sonicwall or even pfsense.

I don't want to be nat.
I want to use public ip behind the Mikrotik.

Isn't that the same as:
  1. Bridging 2 interfaces
  2. Giving IP address to the bridge
  3. Enabling bridge firewall (in bridge settings) and setting up such bridge firewall rules?

Is the IP subnet that you want to use behind the Mikrotik, the same subnet as the ISP uses to connect to your outside interface?

Or is it a separate subnet? A lot of providers that I work with use a /30 or /31 to connect to the customer, then if the customer wants more addressing they issue a separate /29 or whatever as what I call the "customer subnet". In this case you router needs to route between, and you probably want all the normal firewall rules but just don't configure NAT.
