Hello! I received a WAP LTE to replace a broken 4G modem. The old setup was some old Huawei, connected to our RB2011UiAS-RM. The 2011 was set up as a pretty standard NAT/DHCP-appliance for the devices behind it. So far so good. The RB2011 got its WAN address from the Huawei. Simple as it gets. BUT, ...

That won't work. Some VMs have static IPs that simply can not be changed. The MT has been dropped in front of the machine to filter traffic as some of the VMs are exploitable.
