SwOS is an operating system designed specifically for administration of MikroTik switch products.


==Summary==
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==


<p>Management device should be on the same subnet as Switch. Open your web browser and enter IP address of your Switch (192.168.88.1 by default) and login screen will appear.</p>

==Interface Overview==
 
<p>
SwOS interface menu consists of 10 tabs:  Link, Forwarding, Statistics, VLAN, VLANs, Static Hosts, Hosts, SNMP, ACL and System.

* <b>Discard Changes</b> - removes unsaved configuration
* <b>Insert</b> - add new item to the list (places it before current item)
* <b>Sort</b> - sort VLAN table by VLAN-IDs; sort host table by MAC addresses
<br/>

* <b>Logout</b> - logout from current Switch
* <b>Reboot</b> - reboot the switch

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>

SwOS is an operating system designed specifically for administration of MikroTik switch products.

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.
