Selection of the Vlan ID and the assignment to the ports is your choice, decide what Vlan ID's you will use and where you will assign them. NOTE: Once you set port 1 to "trunk" mode, you will not longer be able to communicate with the switch unless you create a Vlan1 on your router. The way the OS is built, there is no need for a default gateway or a subnet mask. This behavior is a bit different than Cisco IOS that responds to untagged traffic via an IP bound to Vlan 1. Note that the switch will respond to http requests to its IP address on all ports. In this example we are using Vlan Id's 1, 20, 30 and 40. The default user name is admin with no password.Īll settings may be left at the defaults with the exception of a few. To log into the RB250GS switch, simply web browse to 192.168.88.1 from a computer on the same physical network segment with an IP on the same subnet, 192.168.88.0/24. The purpose of this article is to show the steps required to setup the MikroTik RB250GS switch as a trunked switch in the router-on-a-stick configuration. In practice, this same configuration can be used between two switches or two routers. In this example, a router with a single Ethernet interface is trunked to a MikroTik switch.
