Note: To see exact configuration script that will be applied after system reset use following command /system default-configuration print
Warning: /system default-configuration print Always shows factory default configuration even if it is override by different netinstall script.
Wan Port
When applying configuration WAN port is renamed to "<wan port>-gateway", for example, if wan port is ether1, it will be renamed to "ether1-gateway".
Local Port
Local port can be:
- single interface
- ethernets configured in switch group
- bridged all interfaces that are not WAN and switch slaves.
If ports are switched then master port is renamed to "<ethernet name>-master-local" and slaves to "<ethernet name>-slave-local".
Lets take RB751 as an example. Board has ether1 configured as WAN port, it has switch chip and one pre-configured wireless interface. So in this case all ethernets except ether1 are grouped in switch group and bridged with wireless interface.
Generated config will be:
/interface set ether2 name=ether2-master-local;
/interface set ether3 name=ether3-slave-local;
/interface set ether4 name=ether4-slave-local;
/interface set ether5 name=ether5-slave-local;
/interface ethernet set ether3-slave-local master-port=ether2-master-local;
/interface ethernet set ether4-slave-local master-port=ether2-master-local;
/interface ethernet set ether5-slave-local master-port=ether2-master-local;
/interface bridge add name=bridge-local disabled=no auto-mac=no protocol-mode=rstp;
:local bMACIsSet 0;
:foreach k in=[/interface find] do={
:local tmpPort [/interface get $k name];
:if ($bMACIsSet = 0) do={
:if ([/interface get $k type] = "ether") do={
/interface bridge set "bridge-local" admin-mac=[/interface ethernet get $tmpPort mac-address];
:set bMACIsSet 1;
}
}
:if (!($tmpPort~"bridge" || $tmpPort~"ether1" || $tmpPort~"slave")) do={
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge-local interface=$tmpPort;
}
}
Wireless Config
Wireless configuration depends on market segment for which board is designed. It can be configured as AP or station in 2GHz and 5GHz frequencies. Default 2GHz frequency is 2412 and default 5GHz frequency is 5300. SSID is "Mikrotik-" + last 3 bytes in hex from wireless MAC address. Starting from v5.25 and v6rc14 Wireless Security profile is configured with WPA/WPA2 and security key equal to router's serial number.
For example, If Mac address of the wlan1 interface is 00:0B:6B:30:7F:C2, and serial number of the board is
/sys routerboard print
routerboard: yes
serial-number: 0163008F8883
Then following settings will be applied:
- SSID="MikroTik-307FC2"
- security settings:
- mode=dynamic-keys
- authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk
- wpa-pre-shared-key=0163008F8883
- wpa2-pre-shared-key=0163008F8883
Note: security key is case sensitive
If board has two chains (letter D in the naming of the board), then both chains are enabled. HT Extension is enabled on all CPEs.
For example generated config on RB751:
:if ( $wirelessEnabled = 1) do={
# wait for wireless
:while ([/interface wireless find] = "") do={ :delay 1s; };
/interface wireless set wlan1 mode=ap-bridge band=2ghz-b/g/n ht-txchains=0,1 ht-rxchains=0,1 \
disabled=no country=no_country_set wireless-protocol=any
/interface wireless set wlan1 channel-width=20/40mhz-ht-above ;
}
Default IP and DHCP Config
Default IP address on all boards is 192.168.88.1/24. Boards without specific configuration has IP address set on ether1, other boards has IP address on LAN interface.
All boards that has WAN port configured, DHCP client is set on WAN port.
Typically on all CPEs DHCP server is set on LAN port, giving out addresses in range from 192.168.88.2-192.168.88.254
As an example RB751 applied DHCP config.
/ip dhcp-client add interface=ether1-gateway disabled=no /ip pool add name="default-dhcp" ranges=192.168.88.10-192.168.88.254; /ip dhcp-server add name=default address-pool="default-dhcp" interface=bridge-local disabled=no; /ip dhcp-server network add address=192.168.88.0/24 gateway=192.168.88.1 dns-server=192.168.88.1 comment="default configuration";
Firewall, NAT and MAC server
All boards with configured WAN port has configured protection on that port. Any traffic leaving WAN port is masqueraded. In forward chain also three rules are added for boards with masquerade rule: accept established, accept related and drop invalid to prevent packets with local network IP to be leaked on the wan port.
Config example:
/ip firewall {
filter add chain=input action=accept protocol=icmp comment="default configuration"
filter add chain=input action=accept connection-state=established in-interface=ether1-gateway comment="default configuration"
filter add chain=input action=accept connection-state=related in-interface=ether1-gateway comment="default configuration"
filter add chain=input action=drop in-interface=ether1-gateway comment="default configuration"
nat add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1-gateway action=masquerade comment="default configuration"
}
/tool mac-server remove [find];
/tool mac-server mac-winbox disable [find];
:foreach k in=[/interface find] do={
:local tmpName [/interface get $k name];
:if (!($tmpName~"ether1")) do={
/tool mac-server add interface=$tmpName disabled=no;
/tool mac-server mac-winbox add interface=$tmpName disabled=no;
}
}
/ip neighbor discovery set [find name="ether1-gateway"] discover=no
DNS
Every board allows remote DNS requests and static DNS name is pre-configured.
/ip dns {
set allow-remote-requests=yes
static add name=router address=192.168.88.1
}
