MikroTik has a robust CLI on their products, offering both switch and router OS variants. My use case necessitates using a routers, so these commands are done in RouterOS. The basic homelab network consists of: DSL Internet Modem, MikroTik Router, Synology Wireless Router in Access Point mode.
RouterOS Initial configuration for access and logging
