 h2. Status 

 This document is **PRE PRODUCTION**. 

 h2. Setting up a newly arrived Mikrotik switch 

 This part is specific for mikrotik-crs326 devices and should 

 After arriving within 1 work day do: 

 * Unpack 
 * Find out which name the switch should have 
 ** go to https://netbox.ungleich.ch 
 ** search for crs326 
 ** identify the last used number 
 ** Create a new device 
 *** go to devices  
 *** devices 
 *** add 
 **** name: "mikrotik-crs326-XX" 
 **** device-role: a device role 
 **** device-type: CRS326 
 **** serial-number: <from the device> 
 **** site: placeX - 
 **** create 
 * Add a physical label with its name 
 ** Do not continue before you have done that! 
 * configure your notebook with the ipv4 address 192.168.88.23/24  
 * connect to the crs326: @ssh admin@192.168.88.1@ 
 * Configure the switch 
 ** Set identity: @/system identity set name=mikrotik-crs326-XX@ # use the correct name 
 ** Set password: @/user set admin password=@ # use the password for mikrotik in the place that you are, use password store 
 ** Enable IPv6: @/system package enable ipv6@ 
 ** Reboot so that IPv6 is enabled: @/system reboot@ 
 ** Add a place indendent, unrouted IPv6 address: @/ipv6 address add eui-64=yes advertise=no interface=bridge address=2a0a:e5c0:1:c::/64@ 
 ** Get the assigned IPv6 address: @/ipv6 address print@ 
 ** Disconnect from the switch 
 * Assign your notebook the IPv6 address *2a0a:e5c0:1:c::23/64* 
 * Connect to the switch via IPv6 
 ** Remove the IPv4 address 192.168.88.1 to avoid collisions with other switches: @/ip address remove numbers=0@ 
 *** Verify: @/ip address print@ 
 * Verify / update entries in netbox: 
 ** Verify that the serial number is correct: @:put [ /system routerboard get serial-number ]@ 
 ** Netbox 
 *** go to the ipv6 prefix https://netbox.ungleich.ch/ipam/prefixes/216/ 
 **** create a new ipv6 address 
 **** set the DNS name to *mikrotik-crs326-XX* 
 **** role = loopback 
 * Ensure all steps are taken correctly 
 * Move the device to our inventory / stock if not directly used 


 h2. Configuring a Mikrotik switch for integration into the network 

 Depending on the usage scenario, we will define a variety of bridges and assign ports to it. 

 * In almost all cases the uplink port will be the *sfp-sfpplus1* port. 
 * In almost all cases we want to apply vlan tagging to that port 
 * For server networks, we configure the MTU to the highest value the switch supports 
 ** Devices are configured with a 9200 MTU 
 ** So the MTU on the switch ports needs to be at least 9200 

 h3. First step for all integrations 

 * Setup MTU of the *sfp-sfpplus* ports (plural) 

 h3. Use case 1: coworking network 

 To use the switch in a coworking network, we keep the MTU
