Select Switching or Bridging of Master/Slave Port?

This question may arise when we want to create multiple interfaces at the Mikrotik to be one segment. There are some options that we can use, including IE can use Bridging techniques or use the Switching harness mode Master Slave port and Port. Both give the same results as if, but actually there is a difference.

The configuration of the Master/Slave Switch Port using a special switching chip embedded on RouterBoard, so as not to overload the CPU. Mikrotik will not get too big a burden of switching on the CPU even though his passing traffic is very high. The illustrations were like in the picture above. From the illustration above pictures it can be seen that acts as a Master Port eth2 and eth3-5 as a Slave Port that uses the switching chip.

The ability of Switching Ports varies for each switching chip embedded on RouterBoard.

By doing bridging, we can combine several different interfaces into one interface ethernet for example cement with wireless, which cannot be done by the method of Master/Slave port switching. In addition we can apply to bridging firewall filter rule, where at switching cannot be done except for Mikrotik Router Switch Cloud (CRS).

protocol STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).

Using the bridge we can cope network loops with ease, using protocol STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).

So in essence the second of these methods is the same, just the difference in the speed vs features. If you are already a mikrotik high specification, and the traffic is not too great, can use a bridge only. But if instead you better wear switching.

That's the easy way to choose Select Switching or Bridging of Master/Slave Port?
hopefully helpful articles.

Discussion Of The RoMon Mikrotik

Discussion Of The RoMon Mikrotik RoMON was abbreviated from the Router Management Overlay Network which is a new feature on Mikrotik RouterOS version 6.28. This may still feature RoMON alien to You, because it is available in a new version of RouterOS and WinBox. Well, to find out more what it RoMON Mikrotik, let's discuss in this article. The Meaning Of The RoMON What is RoMON? RoMON (Router Management Overlay Network) is a Mikrotik proprietary protocol (the protocol is only supported on devices Mikrotik), which can make the connection secure layer2 (secure) to MikroTik devices either through Physical connection ( Ethernet) or Layer2 Tunnel.  In addition, RoMON also has the following features: Discovery and management MikroTik devices via Ping, SSH, Winbox (version 3.0. rc 9 and above). Able to do discovery (search) the MikroTik devices enable RoMON which has gone through multiple hops. So with this we can detect RoMON device on WinBox Mikrotik Mikrotik dev...

Common Computer Errors | What The Meaning of Computer Errors

Computer errors will crop up once least expected, they will cause the complete system to suddenly close up, and that they will unknowingly corrupt information to the purpose wherever it cannot be deciphered. Although they can not continuously be avoided, it is vital to recollect that pc errors are often corrected. The key's to know what pc errors square measure, perceive what they mean after they show up, and understand how to minimize their occurrence in the first place. Computer error Basically, pc errors square measure the results of variety of things which will or might not have something to try and do with the method the pc is employed. They "operate" whenever there's a conflict among commands. Remember that computers primarily flee of a series of commands and it has always a sleek method. But once one command conflicts with another command - or once one command asks for a method or data that may not on the market, the pc returns results th...

Usability Of Wireless Tools Mikrotik

Usability Of Wireless Tools Mikrotik Explanation of the use of Wireless Tools-Mikrotik Mikrotik Router has Wireless functionality and features that we can take advantage of for communication between devices with Mikrotik wireless communication using the media. But not all Mikrotik Wireless feature can use this, because not all types of Mikrotik is no Wireless Card. Usability Of Wireless Tools Mikrotik Call it Mikrotik RB 750 who only got 5 ethernet interface and without the wireless interface because there is no wireless card. Specific to Mikrotik Pool, most could use Wireless because it features a Mini PCI slot is available for the wireless card. OK, this time we will learn wireless wireless usage i.e. Mikrotik tools standard Mikrotik. Wireless tools is very important in building wireless networks with mikrotik, to monitor and monitor the condition of the wireless network around the US. To use the wireless tools, you can use the winbox and into the Wireless menu. ...
