Hi
I have managed to setup a Mikrotik wireless network with Radius and User Manager.
I got about 20 clients connecting to the internet using PPPoE User Manager accounts and that works well.
Now need to setup 4 or 5 IP cameras which I would like to access from 3 or 4 of the PPPoE Clients PC’s.
The cameras will be connected remotely and can also connect with PPPoE accounts (Cameras connected to Ubiquiti Bullets).
My Problem now how do I connect to the camera IP to monitor the cameras? One PPPoE user PC cannot connect to another PPPoE User (Camera) ?
Anybody got any experience that can help me?
Good day,
Routing everything through your core router would be ideal using dst-nat mappings. Of course this involves forwarding the relevant ports as necessary.
I.e. Client 1 address = 192.168.5.250
Client 2 address = 192.168.5.251 (Attached Camera, port 3333)
Core Router = 192.168.2.1
Because client 1 cannot access client 2 directly but the core router can. we can point our request on port 3333 (whatever they may be) to the core router (192.168.2.1) … using a simple dst-nat rule, the core router would in turn forward’ that request to client 2.
Hope that helps.
Tks for your post.
It sort of make sense to me but not sure how to assign ports and then forward in Nat Rule?
My PPPoE Clients all get IP’s from DHCP ie 10.3.1.x from the User Manager And Radius Server.
The wireless Wan that they connect to got an static IP I assigned to it 192.168.21.1. I assume that is the core router that you talk about?
Say client 1 got addrs 10.3.1.250 and camera 10.3.1.245, where do I assign the ports for the camera?
What would the dst-nat rule typically look like?
Many tks for your help.
or the easy way. Give the Client managment IP at same Interface as you have the pppoe-clinent. Connect from Client to Client trough this IP’s.
Remember, if its on wlan, you need to have default forward on
