Getting Started: MikroTik Static Route Configuration

[@jeruelmorales349]

best and simple explaination about static routing i have experienced in my entire life! thanks..

[@gyorgykovacs6781]

OMG, i have read so much about basic routing and finally here i found an a easy to understand explanation. You are awesome. Thanks

[@blindside995]

This was brilliant! Thank you so much for taking so much time and attention to detail on this video! It really shows in your ability to explain these ideas in simple terms.

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Glad you enjoyed it! I felt like talking about routing deserved more than just quickly showing people how to add a static route. I wanted this video to be a lesson and hopefully leave a better understanding how routing works especially to new people as I personally know how intimidating routing can be if you are just starting to figure it out.

Great lesson - thank you. Looking forward to soon replacing my home network with Mikrotik kit. Reminds me somewhat of working in the first computer controlled International Telephone Exchange in Australia - that was in the mid '70s. There we worked with 'Selection Sequences', to determine the ROUTING of telephone traffic, based on Country Codes + Area codes. The Selection Sequence tables contained lists of circuit routes, like Cable and Satellite connections to different O/S Exchanges (i.e. 'routers'). A bit like Ethernet, the principles stay the same - only the speed changes.

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Welcome to the channel :D! I love the comparison of modern computer networks to Telephone exchanges and use this comparison myself when trying to explain routing to someone new in networking and how things have evolved over timer.

Thank you very much for your lesson. I install verfy small networks but my clients might want to expand their network a little more. I keep watching this lesson many times until it "sinks in" my mind!

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Glad to hear these lessons are helping you Dimitris, you are always welcome to comment about things you want me to maybe expand on and I will see if I can make a future video about your suggestions :)

Thanks alot for these wonderful videos. U have impacted me with good knowledge

Thank you very much for this lesson, appreciate!

Hi, could you please advise me that can we create the NAT rule that NAT from 1 ip public into multiple local ip address?

[@tonyosime9380]

Hi, great video! What visualization tool were you using? It looks very good.

[@andrepotts3898]

im trying to figure out how do you do the vpc and the eve topology

[@srh_btk]

So useful video! Thank you, Berg! I am preparing for my MTCNA certification and your video series like magic wand for my understanding! Looking for more videos about MiktoTik. Have a nice day! P.S. Could you tell me please what playlist or soundtracks are playing in the background?

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you the best of luck with your MTCNA I know you can do it :D!

[@nonsochristopher8278]

Please how can one configure static routing between bridges on same mikrotik router?

[@MindSparqTrivia]

Goodwork sir. .how to do static routing on wireless setup, for example i'm on a pppoe wireless point-to-multipoint setup sir? how to access its LAN?

[@tj11391]

Thank you

[@Blue8132]

Have you used a Nat-config or a firewall rule to allow the traffic before?

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Hi Tobias, routers by default allow all forward traffic. What are you wanting to know exactly? I have a different video on how to use the MikroTik firewall and setting up NAT rules is also very straight forward.

[@Blue8132]

@@TheNetworkBerg I want to translate one lanip to another completely separate lan. ;)

[@TheNetworkBerg]

@@Blue8132 ahhh well depending on which side you want traffic to initiate you could use either a src or dst chain to achieve this, I could make a new video specifically on NAT rules or even go over this in my stream later tonight.

[@Blue8132]

@@TheNetworkBerg What I want to do exactly. In one building I have LAN A) in a separate building I have LAN B). I have two access points now, which are supposed to be members in LAN B). Both lans have a gateway, this connection with the AP's is only meant as a fallout route, as a redundant route, should the VPN tunnel fail. These are my considerations so far: /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=192.168.X.X/24 action=masquerade out-interface=ether1 (Here is the other LAN then directly connected, on which the AP hangs, which will be part of the Lan B)'s) /ip address add address=192.168.Y.35/24 interface=ether1 add address=192.168.X.45/24 interface=ether4 /ip route add dst-address=192.168.X.0/24 gateway=192.168.Y.35 add dst-address=192.168.Y.0/24 gateway=192.168.X.45 add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.X.1 (in LAN 192.168.X.0/24 exist a dhcp server)

[@Blue8132]

@@TheNetworkBerg And i would it really like to see this ^^ the LAN B ist from Lan A perspective a "MAN" and from LAN B perspective LAN A is a "Man" , the router is the only interface between this too seperates lan

Could you please share this lab setup file? Thanks!

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Hi Ronak, unfortunately this lab has been terminated when my PC had some hardware issues. Though I am working on some lab files for members who are in the "Network Supporters" tier. But will try and create a Static Route configuration lab that you can import into your own EVE-NG :)

[@RonakPatel-ct8wf]

@@TheNetworkBerg After watching this video I've created a lab and it worked. Thanks for the response though! Looking forward for more videos :)

@@RonakPatel-ct8wf awesome, great to hear you got the lab working!
