Beginner Basics • Re: Setting crs304-4xg-in as layer 2 switch

Your crs304-4xg-in is defective :shock: it has two ether4 ports :wink: :lol:

Now, seriously, how are you managing the Mikrotik? (I presume with Winbox via MAC).

A good idea is (unless you really-really need it) is to keep a port outside the bridge, for emergency access (it is not a problem in a "dumb" bridge but when/if you will want to make it more secure or play with some advanced feature it is easy to lock oneself out).
As a matter of fact if you look at the device layout:

you will see that ether5 is designed to be not part of a bridge.

I would take port 5 out of the bridge, a 1 Gb port in a bridge with 4 10 Gb bridge may slow down everything (or worse), even if not used/not connected to anything.

Describe what/how it doesn't work.
