Howdy,
I’ve recently bought a Mikrotik RB751 and im having some troubles understanding the basics.
Right now I just wanna have internet through the ETH1 as default gateway.
I’ve added a pppoe-client in eth1 - with ip 10.27.0.1/28
Then a NAT srcnat - interface eth1 - action masquerade
My PC has the ip 10.27.0.2 - Gateway 10.27.0.1
But i can’t get access to internet.
My network is simple just WAN —> Mikrotik RB751 —> PC1 (with static ip) – PC2 (with static ip)
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
hi there
I recommend you to apply masquerade specifying out-interface the pppoe created interface ( in the example I named it pppoe-WAN.
here an example.
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat disabled=no out-interface=pppoe-WAN
hoping this will help you completing the task
have a nice day
You probably don’t need an assigned IP address for the PPPoE client. Your ISP will provide this dynamically when the PPPoE session terminates . along the same lines, all the IPs you have mentioned are private addresses - you must have a public address to be able to reach the Internet.
Hi m1cky64,
I was in your position a week ago. Please try the following.
- Update the firmware to v5.20 or whatever is the latest.
- Go into the web interface. This is usually http://192.168.88.1.
- Login.
- Follow the quick setup screen. If there is a checkbox for nat, please ensure that you check it.
- If you need static ip addresses, check the dhcp server box and adjust the address pool. If you are uncomfortable with this, let things be.
- Do ensure you have the pppoe user name and the corresponding password.
- If everything works according to plan, you should be connected to the internet.
- Now, adjust your clock either from the web interface or the commandline.
You can now adjust other features such as the firewall from the commandline.
If you want to avoid using the web gui, you can run the commandline based setup utility. I have not tried it though so cannot comment further.
I hope this helps.
