2 MTRB750s and connecting them together.

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Alright I am racking my brain here and maybe I’m just missing a basic setting. I am new to the RouterOS so bare with me.

I am trying to connect 2 MTRB750’s together and I cant seem to get the IP addressing correct.
In MTRB750 B everytime I try to address eth4 to 10.10.2.28 the route for that IP comes up blue. Am I missing something here? I am trying to treat MTRB750 B Eth1 as the port that connects to MTRB750 A, which seems to work fine. Now, I can use eth2 and create a 192.168.88.1 and give it DHCP and that seems to work fine. The issue seems to be when 2 ports have 10.10.2.x address one of them wont work.

Any ideas?

what’s the idea with this setup? why do you need to connect them this way? maybe there is another way

You’d have to bridge or switch those ports. A router cannot have two routed interfaces on the same broadcast domain.

There is probably a better way. Routing is usually preferable to bridging and switching.

The reason why I wanted them routed this way is because I want to be able to log into all the equipment when need be. I wanted to create a routed network because the broadcasts when alot of people connect to the ap’s seem to be a real big problem. This is just a single segment of the network that I have now. Behind Router A is the “internet”. This is a completely nat’ed network. There are alot more hops between wireless equip but I just needed this basic setup so I could do what I needed to do :slight_smile:.

Now I could really care less what range the eqiupment stays on but when im behind router A and I cant log into eqiupment when its on another range thats a big problem. Id much rather stay away from bridging and switching if at all possible.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
