Mikrotik Basic Configure


Prerequisites to Configure a MikroTik Router
Before going to start basic configuration of a MikroTik Router you should have below information.
1. Basic knowledge about IP Addressing.
2. Win box Software.
2. PC with windows operating system installed and RJ45 cables.
If you have the above requirements properly, you are now ready to start MikroTik router basic configuration. I’ll show you the proper steps to configure a new MikroTik router in the rest of this article.

Easy Steps to Configure a MikroTik Router
MikroTik router basic configuration includes assigning IP addresses and enabling NAT for accessing internet. MikroTik router basic configuration can be divided into 4 steps.
1. Assigning WAN and LAN IP addresses
2. Gateway configuration
3. NAT configuration and
4. DNS configuration


Among the above 4 steps, first three steps are mandatory for accessing internet trough your MikroTik router and step 4 is optional but it must be done for proper MikroTik router configuration.
To configure a MikroTik Router properly according to the above 4 steps, I’m using below information and a simple office network diagram where three users are connected to MikroTik router through a network switch and one interface of the router is connected to internet for accessing internet information.
1. MikroTik Router Board
2. WAN IP: (ISP provided)
3. Gateway: (ISP provided)
4. Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
5. LAN IP Network: 192.168.10.0/24 (Private IP block chosen by me)


Configuring Basic Functions Working with Interfaces

Before configuring the IP addresses and routes please check the /interface menu to see the list of available interfaces. If you have PCI Ethernet cards installed in the router, it is most likely that the device drivers have been loaded for them automatically, and the relevant interfaces appear on the /interface print list, for

Accessing the CLI
MikroTik v2.9
Login: admin
Password: /password & #
[admin@MikroTik] > password
old password:
new password: ************
retype new password: ************
[admin@MikroTik] >

BRIDGE

In command line interface (or with the mikrotik tool winbox that you can download in official site) you must create a bridge interface

/interface bridge add name=bridge
Then you must add single interface in bridge that you have created

/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3
…
MASTER/SLAVE PORTS

In first thing you must decide which interface is the master (in my example is ether1), the master port is usually the port that is connected to the router.

In command line interface you must put this configuration:

/interface ethernet set ether1 master-port=none
/interface ethernet set ether2 master-port=ether1
/interface ethernet set ether3 master-port=ether1


1. Command to configure Mikrotik
1. Setup router
//to create a name for network card
admin@mikrotik>int
admin@mikrotik int>eth
admin@mikrotik int eth>print
admin@mikrotik int eth>set 0 name=LAN
admin@mikrotik int eth>set 1 name=WAN
admin@mikrotik int eth>print //to assign ip address to network card
admin@mikrotik ip address>add address=x.x.x.x netmask=x.x.x.x interface=LAN
admin@mikrotik ip address>add address=x.x.x.x netmask=x.x.x.x interface=WAN
admin@mikrotik ip address>print //to create NAT rule
admin@mikrotik ip firewall nat>add chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-interface=WAN
admin@mikrotik ip firewall nat>print //to assign gateway
admin@mikrotik ip route>add gateway=x.x.x.x
admin@mikrotik ip route>print //to assign dns
admin@mikrotik ip dns>set primary-dns=x.x.x.x
admin@mikrotik ip dns>set secondary-dns=x.x.x.x
admin@mikrotik ip dns>set allow-remote-requests=yes //to create dhcp
admin@mikrotik>setup select s =config dhcp server dhcp server interface=LAN dhcp space=x.x.x.0/24 dhcp pool=x.x.x.x-x.x.x.x select x to exit.

2.Create login page(Hotspot)
admin@mikrotik ip hotspot>setup interface=LAN local address=x.x.x.x/24 masquerade=yes address pool=x.x.x.x-x.x.x.x select certificate=none
ip address of smtp server=0.0.0.0 dns="press enter" dns name="put it blank" name of local hotspot=admin password=23804151 Mikrotik Server with Hotspot Done


2. How to link from Mikrotik to Radius server
1.Go to Radius Server and Create NAS(Network Access Server) by click on server configuration click add
2.Complete the following field
3.Click Add
4.Login with winbox to the Mikrotik router
5.Click on IP DNS Setting change DNS
6.Click on IP route and then change gateway
7.Click on IP Pool Delete dhcp_pool1
8.Click on IP DHCP server Click DHCP and select DHCP that have and click on delete(-) and click on networks
then select on the network click delete(-)
9.Click on IP hotspot in server tab select hsprof1 and then click delete(-) click profile and select hsprof1 then click delete(-)
The IP Wan of Mikrotik that Radius Server Control The character or number that match with Mikrotik Double click and then change Appropriate gateway


Go to DHCP server in DHCP tab click setup next until finish so it created the IP pool and network automatically
8. Go to hotspot again in server tab click setup and then click Next until finish
9. Click Profile in hotspot and double click on hsprof1
10.Click on Radius Click Add(+)
11. Check the check box and complete some fields below Uncheck Cookie Check on Use RADIUS
The Radius server IP address that control The character or number that match with Radius server


How to change from one ISP to other ISP
1.Login with winbox to the Mikrotik router
2.Click on IP DNS Setting change DNS
3.Click on IP route and then change gateway
4.Click on IP Pool Delete dhcp_pool1
5.Click on IP DHCP server Click DHCP and select DHCP that have and click on delete(-) and click on networks then select on the network click delete(-)
6.Click on IP hotspot in server tab select hsprof1 and then click delete(-) click profile and select hsprof1 then click delete(-)
7. Go to DHCP server in DHCP tab click setup next until finish so it created the IP pool and network automatically
8. Go to hotspot again in server tab click setup and then click Next until finish
9. Click Profile in hotspot and double click on hsprof1 Double click and then change Appropriate gateway Uncheck Cookie Check on Use RADIUS
