Cannot ping static ip on seperate bridge?

RouterOS General
1

Please assist, this is just so strange, and do not understand why this is happening.

I cannot ping a AccesPoint/Host with a static IP address on a different bridge, while connected to a seperate bridge.

My Config:

[WiFi AP9:192.168.1.3]====[Switch]=====[192.168.1.2:AP9-BRIDGE][Mikrotik][AP10-BRIDGE:192.168.2.2]====[WiFi AP10]===[PC]

As illustrated above, I have two Access Points AP9 and AP10, a Switch and a Mikrotik Router and a PC connected to AP10.

[Host on WiFi AP10 to WiFi AP9]
PC with IP 192.168.2.X cannot ping 192.168.1.3

[Host on WiFi AP10 to WiFi AP9 Bridge IP]
PC with IP 192.168.2.x can ping 192.168.1.2, the AP9 bridge IP.

The strange thing is I can ping a non static IP address, attached to AP9.

I have three bridges,

  1. LAN - bridge ip: 192.168.0.2
  2. WiFi AP 9 - bridge ip: 192.168.1.2
  3. WiFi AP 10 - bridge ip: 192.168.2.2

Here is my address list:

0 X ;;; defconf
     192.168.88.1/24    192.168.88.0    ether2
 1   ;;; lan
     192.168.0.2/24     192.168.0.0     bridge
 2   ;;; ap9
     192.168.1.2/24     192.168.1.0     bridge-ap9
 3   ;;; ap10
     192.168.2.2/24     192.168.2.0     bridge-ap10

My routes:

1 ADC  192.168.0.0/24     192.168.0.2     bridge                    0
 2 ADC  192.168.1.0/24     192.168.1.2     bridge-ap9                0
 3 ADC  192.168.2.0/24     192.168.2.2     bridge-ap10               0

When checking the ARP List, the host is visible with the correct MAC and IP address.
Just so strange.

I have Queues and for that I had to enable: Use IP FireWall in the Bridge Configuration.

Could that be the cause?

I did a test using ping on a Mac… and that fails.

I did a test using mtr which also use icmp, and that works just fine.

If fixed the problem by just rebooting the AP10, I suspect it still had an old IP address, 192.168.0.13;
Since the AP had seperate Power, it never got rebooted after me thanking network addresses.

Well after the reboot I could Ping the host and no change was made to the Mikrotik.

It worked for a brief moment then it stoped… ??? grrrrr

Finally I figured out some more information.

When I plug in a host at the AP (ethernet), I can ping the host. But not the AP itself, unless I connect to it via WiFi.
So It must be the access point itself, blocking access.
