The setting of ROS soft routing can use WinBox. Winbox can find the ROS system through the mac address. Initially, we can use the mac address to log in. After setting, we can use the ip address to log in. The initial password is empty.
The background of ROS soft routing is still quite bluffing, it is all English interface, and there is no setting wizard. In fact, it only takes four steps to get online.
The first step is to set the network port and address
Enter the management interface and open the interface menu on the left
Here we can see the two network cards of the ros system. First, we need to determine the lan port and the wan port. If there is always data going, then it is the LAN port. Let's set it up, and the wan port should also be marked.
Next, we set the IP address of the LAN port, click the IP-adress menu on the left, we can see that the default is 88.1, here is set to the network segment of our LAN to customize, the interface must select the LAN port.
The second step is to implement PPPOE dialing
We open the interface menu on the left, click the + sign, select PPPOE client, you can customize a name, and the most important thing is to select the wan port.
The second tab, set up our broadband account and password
Just keep the default, there is a DNS option, if the check is to use the DNS of the operator to automatically obtain, usually we fill in manually, just keep the default.
Returning to the interface interface, we can see that a pppoe dial-up has been created, with an R mark in front of it, indicating that the pppoe connection is successful. However, at this time we can not access the Internet, enter the third step of setting.
The third step, set the firewall and NAT settings
Open the IP menu on the left and select firewall
We select the NAT tab, click the + sign, in the action tab, select masquerade, the address masquerading option, and click OK directly, so that the NAT setting of the firewall is completed.
The fourth step, create a DHCP service
Open the IP menu on the left, select DHCP Server, click dhcp setup, which is equivalent to the quick guide of dhcp setup, we select the LAN port.
During the setting process, we need to pay attention that if it is a dual soft route, it needs to be set to the IP address of the bypass route, and if it is a single route, it can be set to the address of the ROS soft route itself. Manually set the DNS address, you need to set a real DNS server here, otherwise you will not be able to access the Internet.
After the above four steps, we can surf the Internet normally.
Another powerful feature of ROS soft routing is DNS caching, which can improve the speed of opening web pages and improve user experience. Next, let's set up the DNS cache.
The first step is to enable DNS caching
Set ROS as the DNS server of the LAN.
Open the DHCP Server in the IP menu, click the network tab, and double-click the IP address. Since we want to use the DNS cache of the ROS soft routing, we need to set the DNS Servers to the IP address of the ROS soft routing. In this way, the ROS soft routing becomes the DNS of the LAN, click OK.
The second step is to allow ROS soft routing to respond to DNS requests remotely, open the IP menu and select DNS. This option determines whether ROS soft routing can respond to remote DNS requests
We set the upper-level DNS, select 114 and Ali DNS here, open cashe, and we can see that there are already a lot of caches.
Briefly talk about the workflow of DNS caching. Our computer and mobile phone have obtained the DNS set by ROS soft routing. If it exists in the cache, then return it directly. If it is not in the cache, go to the upper-level DNS to find it. This is about of fluency. Setting up the ROS DNS cache can improve the speed at which we open web pages.
After setting the DNS cache of ROS soft routing, we can also set the domain name resolution of the intranet
Then, we enter the URL we just entered in the browser to access ros, which is essentially DNS hijacking.
The first is to change the password, click the system menu, select users,
Secondly, we need to close some unnecessary services, click the ip menu, and find the service. This is the login method provided by ROS soft routing. Not all of these methods can be used. We can close those that can be closed, such as ssh, telnet, etc. I only keep winbox here.
Another point, ROS soft routing can be upgraded online.
Here click system, click package, click update, we click to download and install, restart is the latest ROS soft routing version.
The last is the UPNP related to the download, open the IP menu, and select the bottom upnp.
The above is the main content of this article. The function of ROS soft routing is very powerful. Here are just some of the simplest settings.
