Configure Bridge on MikroTik Router

MikroTik routers are known as powerful devices, because their features are quite complete compared to routers from other brands.

In this article, we will discuss one of the features of Mikrotik, namely the bridge. Bridge serves to combine 2 or more interfaces into one broadcast domain or into one segment. Bridges can combine several types of interfaces into one segment such as wireless and ethernet interfaces.

The following is a bridge configuration on 2 Mikrotik routers, which aims to combine two separate local area networks into one segment.

Create Bridge on Br1

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1

Create Bridge on Br2

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1

On Br1, add the interface connected to the LAN and the interface connected to Br2 to the bridge port. The same is done in Br2.

/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2

If the configuration on the MikroTik has been done, then you configure the ip address which is one subnet on each client device.

After the configuration is done on all devices, the clients should be able to connect to each other.
