Beginner Basics • Changing from bridge to router mode via Command Line?

Hi All,

I have a Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG (running 7.14.2) which is currently in bridge mode (as viewed from the "Quick Set"). I would like to switch it to router mode. Theoretically - easy enough from the "Quick Set". However, I'm concerned about two primary issues ...

• WHAT does it actually change in the configuration to effect this?

• HOW do I switch it back via the CLI if I needed to (my failsafe is Serial Console or the WiFi woobm/terminal)

I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to determine the answer to both of these things and not found any relevant information related to.

With the first - my concern is I have a fairly involved set of bridge interfaces, vlan topologies, etc ... and would like to preserve them - just enable Layer 3 routing between them.

Yes - I have full backups.

Much appreciated for any input or pointers on what I've missed in my digging around so far.
