Hi all, my first post here..

I have just received a RB1100AHx2 for our office. We want to configure it as the core router for our users and servers. The general configuration is as follows:



Although currently we only have WAN 1 and WAN 2 active and consequently only LAN 1 & LAN 2 are active. We are still waiting for the FTTP coverage to get to our office location, hopefully in a few weeks. Previously we used ClearOS inside a PC our router, but decided to switch to RouterOS & RouterBoard combo for better hardware support.

What we have so far is the basic configuration running:

• - eth1 is used for configuration
  - eth2 is used for dialing the WAN/DSL 1 connection (PPPoE Client)
  - eth3 is used for DHCP server for LAN 1 that will be using WAN 1 for internet connection
  - eth4 is used for dialing the WAN/DSL 2 connection (PPPoE Client)
  - eth5 is used for DHCP server for LAN 2 that will be using WAN 2 for internet connection

We don't have the routing rules yet. WAN 1 and WAN 2 will not be shared/load balanced between the two LANs, at least for now. I figured that this setup should not be difficult to setup.

Can anybody help me or give pointers?

Thank you in advance.

hi
you can't run more one dhcp server on one interface.
but if you want to service on ether 5 you can do this:
--------------------------------------------------------
/interface pppoe-client
add ac-name="" add-default-route=no allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 \
dial-on-demand=no disabled=no interface=ether2 max-mru=1480 max-mtu=1480 \
mrru=disabled name=pppoe-out1 password=123 profile=default service-name=\
"" use-peer-dns=no user=123

/interface pppoe-client
add ac-name="" add-default-route=no allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 \
dial-on-demand=no disabled=no interface=ether4 max-mru=1480 max-mtu=1480 \
mrru=disabled name=pppoe-out2 password=123 profile=default service-name=\
"" use-peer-dns=no user=123

/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool1 authoritative=after-2sec-delay bootp-support=\
static disabled=no interface=ether3 lease-time=3d name=dhcp1

/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool2 ranges=192.168.2.2-192.168.2.254
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool2 authoritative=after-2sec-delay bootp-support=\
static disabled=no interface=ether5 lease-time=3d name=dhcp2

/ip address
add address=192.168.1.1/24 disabled=no interface=ether3 network=192.168.1.0
add address=192.168.2.1/24 disabled=no interface=ether5 network=192.168.2.0

/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting disabled=no new-packet-routing=LAN1 \
passthrough=yes src-address=192.168.1.0/24
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting disabled=no new-packet-routing=LAN2 \
passthrough=yes src-address=192.168.2.0/24


/ip route
add disabled=no distance=1 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=pppoe-out1 \

add disabled=no distance=1 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=pppoe-out2 \

Hi perspetolis! Thanks for your complete post!

Yes actually I want to add the second DHCP server on ether5, fixed my initial post .

I'm going to try it out on the router right now.

By the way, can a new user like me give karma to other helpful users?

Hi perspetolis,

What version of router are you using? because I have tried your configuration as well with v5.24 but it's not recognized with the command "new-packet-routing"
Anyway, I cannot make router to access to Internet without add default-route of pppoe-out1 or pppoe-out2

Much appreciated if you can clarify.
