==Connecting to the Switch==
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.


<p>Open your web browser and enter IP address of your Switch (192.168.88.1 by default) and login screen will appear.</p>

==VLANs Tab==
 
<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>

</tr>
</table>
 
==Hosts Tab==
 
<p>This table represents dynamically learnt MAC address to port mapping entries. 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>

<p>An access control list (ACL) rule table is very powerful tool allowing wire speed packet filtering, forwarding and VLAN tagging based on L2,L3 protocol header field conditions.  SwOS allow you to implement limited number of access control list rules (32 simple rules (only L2 conditions are used); 16 rules where both L2 and L3 conditions are used; or 8 advanced rules where all L2,L3 and L4 conditions are used).

== Reset ==
 
There are two ways to reset the device to defaults:
 
=== 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 configuration (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
 
=== 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 SwOS configuration is cleared.
 
==Reinstall SwOS firmware==
 
<p>It is possible to upload and install SwOS firmware using BOOTP. This example shows how to reinstall SwOS using RouterOS.</p>
 
{{Warning | Each RouterBoard switch series have their own firmware which cannot be installed on other series models! In case wrong installation is accidentally done, correct firmware has to be reinstalled following these instructions.<br />
<br />
* RB250GS supports SwOS v1.0 and newer.
* RB260GS supports SwOS v1.7 and newer.
* RB260GSP supports SwOS v1.11 and newer.}}
 
 
* Configure IP address and DHCP server with BOOTP enabled on the installation router.
 
<pre>/ip address
add address=10.0.0.1/24 interface=ether1
</pre>
 
<pre>/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=10.0.0.2-10.0.0.254
/ip dhcp-server
add interface=ether1 address-pool=dhcp_pool1 bootp-support=dynamic
/ip dhcp-server network
add address=10.0.0.0/24 gateway=10.0.0.1
</pre>
 
*Upload new SwOS firmware file to the router filesystem.
 
<pre>[admin@MikroTik] /file> print
# NAME            TYPE            SIZE                CREATION-TIME     
0 swos-1.14.lzb    .lzb file        38142                sep/02/2014 08:40:17</pre>
 
* Configure TFTP server.
 
<pre>/ip tftp
add ip-addresses=10.0.0.0/24 real-filename=swos-1.14.lzb read-only=yes allow=yes</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 Port1 and ethernet port you configured DHCP server on. After few seconds new firmware should be successfully uploaded and installed.

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.
