hi kids, this is your dad, huahuanjayy wkwkwk, Nuenomaru the handsome is back in action.
This is the first article of 2026. I’m starting with a simple article to help beginners like me ^_^
For the case in this article, I will allow the NMS VLAN and service VLAN from both the uplink port and the ports that connect to users (adjust according to your needs). Of course, I will also cover the configuration needed so your Mikrotik can be remotely accessed from your monitoring system.
1 Create VLANs on the interfaces (uplink and downlink)
Go to the Interfaces menu, First, choose which interface you want to allow the VLAN on. Simply click the interface/port -> click +, then choose VLAN.
Here, I use ether1 as the uplink port, and sfp1 as the port that connects to the downlink device.
For the Name field, you can name it whatever you like. Set the VLAN ID to the NMS VLAN (and later do the same to create the service VLAN), and select the interface according to your needs.
2 Create a Bridge to encapsulate the VLANs within the ports
Click the Bridge menu, click the + icon, then name it as you like. Once done, click Apply and then OK (Repeat the same steps to create the NMS and service bridges).
Click the Ports submenu, click the + icon, adjust it according to your needs, and assign it to the VLAN on the port that you created in the first step (Repeat the same steps to create the NMS and service bridges).
Up to this point, the view in your Interfaces menu will look like this (VLANs appear under the ports, and the bridges you created are also visible).
To allow the Mikrotik to be remotely accessed from your network system, we need to configure its IP address and subnet.
Click the IP menu, select Addresses, enter the IP address and subnet ( / ), also enter the network address, then assign it to the uplink VLAN interface.
4 Configure Gateway
Click the IP menu, select the Routes submenu, and enter your gateway and destination address.
Once done, click Apply and then OK
5 Assign a Name to the Device/Hostname Device
Click the System menu, select the Identity submenu, and set the name as you like.
6 User Account Creation and Privilege Assignment
Go to System → Users, click +, then create the user account and assign the appropriate privileges (e.g., Read, Read/Write, or Full Access).
7 IP Services List
Click the IP menu, select the Services submenu, and then enable or disable the services you want to allow for remotely accessing this Mikrotik.
Okay, to make sure your Mikrotik can be remotely accessed and the settings worked, just ping the NMS IP. And gotchaaa ^_^
Next, adjust the configuration according to your needs. Sorry that the first article of 2026 is this simple ^_^
Hahaha alright, that’s a wrap for today’s article—my coffee’s gone, so that’s my cue to stop typing.
Let’s end this with a Bismillah at the start and an Alhamdulillah at the finish. Catch you next time, tech gembelers!.
