VIDEO PEMBELAJARAN KONFIGURASI DASAR MIKROTIK RB941-2nD IP STATIK

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on configuring a MikroTik RB941-2nD router with a static IP address. Setting up static IP addresses is essential for maintaining consistent network connectivity, especially for devices that require a fixed address for services like servers or printers.

Step 1: Access the Router Interface

• Connect your computer to the MikroTik router using an Ethernet cable.
• Open a web browser and enter the router’s default IP address, typically 192.168.88.1.
• Log in with the default credentials:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: (leave blank)

Step 2: Update Router Firmware

• Navigate to the "System" menu.
• Click on "Packages" to check for available updates.
• If updates are available, download and install the latest firmware.
• Reboot the router to apply changes.

Step 3: Configure the Static IP Address

• Go to the "IP" menu and select "Addresses."
• Click on the "+" button to add a new IP address.
  • Enter your desired static IP address (e.g., 192.168.88.10).
  • Set the network mask (usually 255.255.255.0).
  • Choose the interface (e.g., ether1).
• Click "OK" to save the settings.

Step 4: Set Up DHCP Server (if needed)

• Navigate to the "IP" menu and select "DHCP Server."
• Click on "DHCP Setup" and choose the interface.
• Follow the prompts to configure the DHCP server, ensuring that the static IP address is outside the DHCP range to avoid conflicts.

Step 5: Configure Firewall Rules

• Go to the "IP" menu and select "Firewall."
• Click on the "Filter Rules" tab.
• Click on the "+" button to add rules for security.
  • Set the chain to "input."
  • Specify the action (e.g., "accept" for trusted traffic).
• Click "OK" to apply the rules.

Step 6: Test the Configuration

• Use a device connected to the router to check network connectivity.
• Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Mac/Linux).
• Type ping 192.168.88.10 to verify if the device with the static IP is reachable.

Conclusion

You have successfully configured a MikroTik RB941-2nD router with a static IP address. Key steps included accessing the router interface, updating firmware, and adjusting IP settings. For further enhancements, consider exploring advanced features like VPN setup or QoS settings for optimized network performance. Make sure to document your configuration for future reference.
