Firmware update using dnsmasq ¶

I using using a Fedora 25 system and the RB260GSP port 1 is connected to my ethernet port (enp4s0).

Stopping firewall to allow DHCP/TFTP inbound

sudo systemctl stop firewalld

Firmware file needs specific name

cp swos-rb260-1.17.lzb /tmp/fw.260
cd /tmp

Starting dnsmasq with TFTP/bootp option

sudo dnsmasq --interface enp4s0 --bind-interfaces --no-daemon --port 0 --dhcp-range 192.168.1.100,192.168.1.200,12h  --dhcp-authoritative \
  --dhcp-host=00:00:00:00:01:01,192.168.1.101 --enable-tftp --tftp-root=`pwd` --log-queries --log-dhcp

Start firmware upgrade:

1. Power-off RB260GSP
2. Press-and-hold reset button
3. Power-on RB260GSP
4. Wait till ACT led starts flashing very fast (it first flashes slowly).

Debugging ¶

When using tcpdump under FreeBSD the VLAN 802.11Q tags are not displayed. Using this trick will show VLAN information on interface vr1:

tcpdump -i vr1 -Uw - | tcpdump -en -r -

Factory Default ¶

IP: 192.168.88.1
Username: admin
Password: <none>

per port VLAN Switch ¶

According to the ​MicroTik tutorial you can easy create an per port VLAN configuration, allowing you to access all ports individually on your router device. How-ever the instructions are out-dated and not working well. With try-and-error I managed to create an new setup which seems to-do the trick. Download the configuration and enjoy.
