can't ping mikrotik IP

hi everyone. please help on this.
i have set two non-public static IPs one on a cisco router and the other one on a mikrotik router with default configuration. the routers are directly connected to each other. now i can ping cisco from inside mikrotik but the vice versa fails. seems to be something in mikrotik default configuration. here is the mikrotik config:

# jan/02/1970 00:34:44 by RouterOS 6.44.5
# software id = 0G7Y-54W3
#
# model = 951Ui-2HnD
# serial number = B8570BE4F3C7

by the way, i have disabled all NAT and firewall/masquerade rules.
kind regards.

It’s here:


add action=accept chain=input comment=“defconf: accept ICMP” disabled=yes protocol=icmp

Re-enable that.

thank you dear tangent, but re-enabling that rule didn’t help. still pinging mikrotik from cisco fails.

You have a static IP and DHCP on ether1, which isn’t a member of the bridge. Unless the Cisco box is on that port, there’s no IP to ping.

Why are you mixing static and dynamic addressing anyway?

yes you’re right. meanwhile i was correcting exactly the same thing. now dhcp server and the associated default ip pool are omitted. but again same result.

i’m really frustrated on this. can someone help me here?? right now, the mikrotik router is reset with no default configuration and a static non-public /30 IP is set on ether1. on cisco side, another IPs of the same /30 range is set; say, 192.168.90.1/30 for cisco and 192.168.90.2/30 for mikrotik. i can ping cisco from inside mikrotik but pinging mikrotik from cisco fails.
i am really wondering why yhis happens? what am i missing in my routerboard?? please help!
regards.

this issue is over. i had mistakenly connected the patch cord to cisco isr management port which cannot forward traffic.

thanks.
