basic setup/gateway question

Hardware MikroTik hardware general
1

New to mikrotik and not very network savvy so bear with me :slight_smile:

I have a simple setup where I have two public subnets, one /30 assigned to eth1 on mikrotik and /29 routed to /30 by DC to be used by servers
behind mikrotik.

I have assigned the gateway IP address of /30 to eth02 - and I have set the gateway IP of /30 to be the default gateway of MikroTik.

Now on the servers, outgoing IP address of each server is seen as MikroTik’s IP instead of the actual static IP of each server. (IPChiken shows IP of MikroTik). How would I fix that? I am guessing this is because the default gateway of mikrotik is set to gateway of /30?

Thanks in advance,
Mo

If that really is the /29 on eth2, it sounds like you set up things correctly. If the outside world sees those servers with public IPs to carry the IP address of the router itself the most likely thing is that you’re NAT’ing where you shouldn’t be. Check your NAT rules and see if the /29 is masqueraded to the router interface IP on eth1. If you’re not sure, post the output of “/interface ethernet print detail”, “/ip address print” and “/ip firewall nat print detail”.
