I tried for a month to figure out RouterOS.  Failed.  Another tech who is way more experienced in Cisco, etc tried and failed.  

Luckily we were really only using them as switches, so we loaded SwitchOS and were able to do what we wanted.

In short, we found RouterOS to be TOO complicated and SwitchOS to be UNDER complicated.   Because of this, the company eventually gave up and replaced them with HP switches that people could more easily configure.

I WISH I could understand RouterOS, since MikroTik has some very interesting alternatives to conventional enterprise gear at a WAY WAY lower cost.
