Process of communication is divided into seven layers
Lowest is physical layer, highest is application layer
Communication
 MikroTik Basic Training Class - Online Moduls - English

9
It is the unique physical address of a network device
It’s used for communication within LAN
Example: 00:0C:42:20:97:68
It is logical address of network device
MAC address
It is used for communication over networks
Example: 159.148.60.20
2
0
IP
Range of logical IP addresses that divides network into segments
Example: 255.255.255.0 or /24
Subnets
Network address is the first IP address of the subnet
Broadcast address is the last IP address of the subnet
They are reserved and cannot be used
Subnets
 MikroTik Basic Training Class - Online Moduls - English
Select IP address from the same subnet on local networks
Especially for big network with multiple subnets
Selecting IP address
Clients use different subnet masks /25 and /26
A has 192.168.0.200/26 IP address
B use subnet mask /25, available addresses 192.168.0.129-
192.168.0.254
B should not use 192.168.0.129-192.168.0.192
B should use IP address from 192.168.0.193 - 192.168.0.254/25
Selecting IP address Example
Use
Combined RouterOS package
Drag it to the Files window
Upgrading Router
 RouterOS functions are enabled by packages
Package Management
Package Information
 Option to set name for each router
Router Identity
 Identity information is shown in different places
Router Identity
 Network Time Protocol, to synchronize time
 NTP Client and NTP Server support in RouterOS
NTP
To get correct clock on router
For routers without internal memory to save clock information
For all RouterBOARDs
Why NTP
 NTP package is not required
NTP Client
You can backup and restore configuration in the Files menu of
Winbox
Backup file is not editable
Configuration Backup
Additionally use export and import commands in CLI
Export files are editable
Passwords are not saved with export
/export file=conf-august-2009
/ ip firewall filter export file=firewall-aug-2009
/ file print
/ import [Tab]
Configuration Backup
Used for installing and reinstalling RouterOS
Runs on Windows computers
Direct network connection to router is required or over switched LAN
Available at www.mikrotik.com
Netinstall
 1.List of routers
 2.Net Booting
 3.Keep old configuration
 4.Packages
 5.Install
Netinstall
All RouterBOARDs shipped with license
Several levels available, no upgrades
Can be viewed in system license menu
License for PC can be purchased from mikrotik.com or from
distributors
RouterOS License

wiki.mikrotik.com - tons of examples
Useful Links
Bandwidth test can be used to monitor throughput to remote device
Bandwidth test works between two MikroTik routers
Bandwidth test utility available for Windows
Bandwidth test is available on MikroTik.com
Bandwidth Test Utility
Set Test To as testing address
Select protocol
TCP supports multiple connections
Authentication might be required
Bandwidth Test on Router
Plan network design carefully
Take care of user’s local access to the network
Use RouterOS features to secure local network resources
Access to Local Network
ARP joins together client’s IP address with MAC-address
ARP operates dynamically, but can also be manually configured
• Address Resolution Protocol
ARP Table
ARP table
provides: IP
address, MAC-
address and
Interface
To increase network security ARP entries can be crated manually
Router’s client will not be able to access Internet with changed IP
address
Static ARP table
Add Static Entry to ARP table
Set for interface arp=reply-
only to disable dynamic
ARP creation
Disable/enable interface or
reboot router
Static ARP configuration
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Used for automatic IP address distribution over local network
Use DHCP only in secure networks
DHCP Server
To setup DHCP server you should have IP address on the
interface
Use setup command to enable DHCP server
It will ask you for necessary information
DHCP Server
Click on DHCP Setup
to run Setup Wizard
Select interface for
DHCP server
Set Network for DHCP,
offered automatically
Set Gateway for
DHCP clients
Set Addresses that
will be given to clients
DNS server address
that will be assigned to clients
Time that client may use
IP addressWe are done!
DHCP-Server Setup
4
To configure DHCP server on bridge, set server on bridge interface
DHCP server will be invalid, when it is configured on bridge port
Important
 Leases provide information
about DHCP clients
DHCP Server Information
 Show or hide different Winbox columns
Winbox Configuration Tip
We can make lease to
be static
Client will not get
other IP address
Static Lease
DHCP-server could run without dynamic leases
Clients will receive only preconfigured IP address
Static Lease
ip route rules define where packets should be sent
Let’s look at /ip route rules
Route
Destination: networks
which can be reached
Gateway:
IP of the next router to
reach the destination
Routes
 Default gateway: next hop router where all (0.0.0.0) traffic is sent
Default Gateway
Look at the other routes
Routes with DAC are
added automatically
DAC route comes from IP
address configuration
Dynamic Routes
A - active
D - dynamic
C - connected
S - static
Routes
Our goal is to ping neighbor laptop
Static route will help us to achieve this
Static Routes
Static route specifies how to reach specific destination network
Default gateway is also static route, it sends all traffic (destination
0.0.0.0) to host - the gateway
Static Route
Additional static route is required to reach your neighbor laptop
Because gateway (teacher’s router) does not have information about
student’s private network
Static Route
Remember the network structure
Neighbor’s local network is 192.168.x.0/24
Ask your neighbor the IP address of their wireless interface
Route to Your Neighbor
Network Structure
2
2
Add static route
Set Destination
and Gateway
Try to ping
Neighbor’s
Laptop
Route Your Neighbor
The same configuration is possible with dynamic routes
Imagine you have to add static routes to all neighbors networks
Instead of adding tons of rules, dynamic routing protocols can be
used
Dynamic Routes
Easy in configuration, difficult in managing/troubleshooting
Can use more router resources
Dynamic Routes
We are going to use OSPF
OSPF is very fast and optimal for dynamic routing
Easy in configuration
Dynamic Routes
Add correct network to
OSPF
OSPF protocol will be
enabled
OSPF configuration
