Mikrotik - is it possible to assign two pools of LAN addresses?

Question

Computer networks

Good afternoon. The situation is as follows: there is a local area in which there are many devices > 100, on IP addresses 192.168.1.X. Each device has a hardcoded static IP. I want to replace the main router with Mikrotik and transfer everything to a different range, 172.16.XX But I would really like that there would not be such a situation that I would install a new router, and all computers would fall off the network until I reconfigure. Is it possible to configure the router so that it routes both 192.168.1.x and 172.16.x.x addresses? And if so, is it not fraught with any problems?

Answer 1

Can. Without proper qualification, users may not have a network. It is done simply. You do two addresses on one interface. Hang up a dhcp server on it. Do not forget about dns (if it is on Mikrotik). Well, set up routes for each network with firewall rules.
