| |
| SwOS is an operating system designed specifically for administration of MikroTik Switch products.
| |
| </p>
| |
| <p>
| |
| SwOS is configurable from your web browser. It gives you all the basic functionality for a managed switch, plus more: Allows to manage port-to-port forwarding, broadcast storm control, apply MAC filter, configure VLANs, mirror traffic, apply bandwidth limitation and even adjust some MAC and IP header fields.

| ==Connecting to the Switch==
| | SwOS is an operating system designed specifically for administration of MikroTik switch products. |
|
| |
|
| <p>Open your web browser and enter IP address of your Switch (192.168.88.1 by default) and login screen will appear.</p>

| |
| | |
| <p>VLAN tables specifies certain forwarding rules for packets that have specific 802.1q tag. Basically the table contains entries that map specific VLAN tag IDs to a group of one or more ports. Packets with VLAN tags leave switch through one or more ports that are set in corresponding table entry. VLAN table works together with destination MAC lookup to determine egress ports. VLAN table supports up to 4096 entries.</p>

When Switch receives a packet from certain port, it adds the packets source MAC address X and port it received the packet from to host table, so when a packet comes in with destination MAC address X it knows to which port it should forward the packet. If the destination MAC address is not present in host table then it forwards the packet to all ports in the group. Dynamic entries take about 5 minutes to time out.</p>

| |
| | |
| {{ Note | Each RouterBoard switch model has its own firmware which cannot be installed on other models. <br />
| |
| * RB250GS supports SwOS v1.0 and newer. <br />
| |
| * RB260GS supports SwOS v1.7 and newer. }}
| |
| | |
| * Configure IP address and DHCP server with BOOTP enabled on the installation router.
| |
| | |
| <pre>/ip address
| |
| add address=192.168.88.254/24 interface=ether1
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| <pre>/ip pool
| |
| add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=192.168.88.1
| |
| /ip dhcp-server
| |
| add address-pool=dhcp_pool1 bootp-support=dynamic interface=ether1 disabled=no
| |
| /ip dhcp-server network
| |
| add address=192.168.88.0/24 gateway=192.168.88.254
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| *Upload new SwOS firmware file to the router filesystem.
| |
| | |
| <pre>[admin@MikroTik] /file> print
| |
| # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME
| |
| 0 swos-1.2.lzb .lzb file 38142 sep/02/2010 08:40:17</pre>
| |
| | |
| * Configure TFTP server.
| |
| | |
| <pre>/ip tftp
| |
| add allow=yes disabled=no ip-addresses=192.168.88.1 read-only=yes \
| |
| real-filename=swos-1.2.lzb</pre>
| |
| | |
| * Hold the RESET button of the switch when starting it.
| |
| * After few seconds ACT LED will start blinking. Wait till ACT LED blinks twice as fast and release RESET button.
| |
| * Make ethernet connection between the switch and ethernet port you configured DHCP server on. After few seconds new firmware should be successfully uploaded and installed.
| |
| | |
| == Reset ==
| |
| | |
| There are two ways to reset the device to defaults:
| |
| | |
| === Jumper reset hole ===
| |
| | |
| Located on the bottom of case, behind one of the rubber feet of all SwOS devices – resets SwOS software to defaults. Must short circuit the metallic sides of the hole (with a screwdriver, for example) and boot the device. Hold screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is cleared.
| |
| | |
| === Reset button ===
| |
| | |
| The only button on the SwOS device. It has two functions:
| |
| | |
| *Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset SwOS configura-
| |
| tion (same result as with reset hole)
| |
| *Hold this button during boot time longer, until LED starts to bling twice as fast, and then release it to make the device wait for TFTP firmware upgrade
| |
