I have purchased the
MikroTik RouterBOARD 2011UiAS
for our technical workshop (without internet connection)
to connect and test IP-Cameras and their controllers.
Ho can I access with my Windows 10 PC direclty connceted via CAT-Cable to the MikroTik RouterBOARD 2011UiAS ?
My PC has DHCP enabled and I cannot reach via Browser with //192.168.88.1
Even if I use a Home Internet Router Zyxel GS1005HP (it works as DHCP server automatically),
I cannot reach via Browser with //192.168.88.1
Use Winbox and connect to the router using the MAC address rather than an IP.
Or try connecting to port ether2 if you’ve been using port ether1, port ether1 is normally set as the WAN port in default setups.
Without wanting to be unkind, if those instructions (especially the
/ip dhcp-server setup
bit which walks you through it) are too complex, you may be better off employing someone to do it for you.
If you know the subnet you want to use and which IPs in that subnet you want to hand out, just run the command above and plug in the values as explained in the docs and you should be fine.
That is assuming that you’ve got all the ports on a bridge of course, and you have the gateway IP set as the IP on the bridge.
Setting up a DHCP Server using the UI is actually more difficult than using the CLI as you need to configure 3 separate things in the UI before it works (IP pool, DHCP Network and DHCP Server).
Is this a typical behaviour that you need to install the Winbox App first and only after this you can access via Browser to the MikroTik RouterBOARD 2011UiAS ?
No. Web browser access (called WebFig) is not dependent on having WinBox on your computer. Note that WinBox is far more useful than WebFig - and many of us block it.
