Eoip Mikrotik

Ethernet over IP (EoIP) allows bridging of local area networks (LANs) over an IP connection such as the Internet. EoIP creates an Ethernet tunnel between two routers, making it possible to bridge LANs remotely. This provides an easy solution for connecting a home and work LAN, allowing access to resources such as file servers, printers, and cameras from either location. While simple to configure, EoIP is limited to MikroTik RouterOS devices.

EoIP

Ethernet over IP (EoIP) Tunneling is a MikroTik RouterOS


protocol that creates an Ethernet tunnel between two routers on
top of an IP connection. The EoIP tunnel may run over IPIP
tunnel, PPTP tunnel or any other connection capable of
transporting IP.

When the bridging function of the router is enabled, all Ethernet


traffic (all Ethernet protocols) will be bridged just as if there
where a physical Ethernet interface and cable between the two
routers (with bridging enabled). This protocol makes multiple
network schemes possible.

Filter DHCP requests over EoIP

/interface bridge filter


add action=drop chain=forward comment=\
"Drop all DHCP requests over EoIP bridge"\
dst-port=67 ip-protocol=udp \
mac-protocol=ip

Things to Consider
● IP address management
– Static leases for DHCP
– Separate range for DHCP pool
● Firewall
