Bridging
Interface Bridging
MikroTik RouerOS supports MAC level bridging of Ethernet packets. Ethernet, Ethernet over IP (EoIP), Prism, Atheros and RadioLAN interfaces are supported. The Bridge Interfaces can also be Firewalled.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
- Multiple bridge interfaces
- Bridge associations on a per interface basis
- Protocol can be selected to be forwarded or discarded
- MAC address table can be monitored in real time
- IP address assignment for router access
- Bridge interfaces can be firewalled

Transparent Bridging of Remote LANs
Remote LANs can be transparently bridged over secure VPN connections by means of Ethernet over IP tunnels and Ethernet bridge. One MikroTik Router is required per one remote LAN. The Routers should be able to communicate with each other over public network. Secure VPN tunnels are established between them. EoIP tunnels are run over these VPN connections with bridging between EoIP and LAN interfaces.
- VPN, EoIP, and Bridge features are included in the Base License
- PPTP, L2TP, or IPsec can be used for secure VPNs
