I have an RB951ui-2hnd running rOS 6.4 and would like to change WAN port from the default port 1 to port 5 and use the POE pass through feature to run a Groove 52hpn CPE.
I'm new to routeros and Mikrotik and would appreciate any pointers on how this can be done either in the Webfig or by script.
Re: RB951ui change WAN port from port 1 to port 5 in AP mode
It would probably be easiest to see your current config. In Webfig or winbox, open a terminal and type /export, then copy/paste it here.
Re: RB951ui change WAN port from port 1 to port 5 in AP mode
Thanks for the response.
I have started with the router set to its default configuration then exported the configuration and attempted to modify it to change the wan port from ether1 to ether5. The modified configuration is below.
I used the command "/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes skip-backup=yes run-after-reset=default-mod-wan5.rsc" to load the modified rsc file. After loading the configuration the WebFig "Quick Set" page shows the "Configuration Mode" is Bridge, under "WAN" it shows only the MAC address of ether1 rather than ether5 and under the heading "Bridge" Address Acquisition is Static.
ether5 has been set as a dhcp client and is getting IP's from the CPE connected to it
Ether1 is master, ethers2-4 are slaves to ether1 and the router is giving out dhcp but there does not seem to be any connection between ether5 and the other ports.
Any suggestions of how to proceed would be appreciated.

Re: RB951ui change WAN port from port 1 to port 5 in AP mode
I tested your config and it and it was working for me.
The quickset page you can pretty much ignore since you've deviated from the standard config, and it probably doesn't auto-detect the changes.I used the command "/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes skip-backup=yes run-after-reset=default-mod-wan5.rsc" to load the modified rsc file. After loading the configuration the WebFig "Quick Set" page shows the "Configuration Mode" is Bridge, under "WAN" it shows only the MAC address of ether1 rather than ether5 and under the heading "Bridge" Address Acquisition is Static.
What are you trying to do that's not working? Are devices on those ports not able to route out?...there does not seem to be any connection between ether5 and the other ports.
Re: RB951ui change WAN port from port 1 to port 5 in AP mode
I have been trying to set ether1 as the master port with ether2-4 as slaves and ether5 as wan. I want to set the bridge to be the DHCP server, Bridge the WLAN and ether1 so that ether 1-4 & WLAN give out dhcp for the local network and ether5 is a client for the CPE.
I've only been able to get DHCP on the WLAN and I just realized I didn't check if I could access the CPE from the local network.
I believe your correct about ignoring the Quick Set page. I'm screwing things up when I mess with things on the Quick Set page. I just don't know enough about the CLI to wipe out the defaults and set up an Wireless AP/Bridge from scratch with ether5 as the WAN or if that is possible with the RB951ui-2HND.

Re: RB951ui change WAN port from port 1 to port 5 in AP mode
I tested your edited config on a RB450G and it worked great for me, so I don't think the RB951ui-2hnd is the issue. It may be a config issue further down the line. Are you able to get out to the internet if you plug directly into the Groove with a PC?
I would start by plugging a PC into one of the LAN ports of the RB951. Ping each device from the inside out to find out where the connection is broken.
1. RB951 bridge (192.168.88.1)
2. ether5 (192.168.221.52)
3. Groove CPE
4. ...
5. 8.8.8.8 (or other public IP)
