Hi I have 2 routers my main one which is RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN and second one which also has DHCP Server
I’ve tried to connect 2 router into mikrotik ether6 port and I can’t seem to ping it from it (it has default ip 192.168.1.1) when I do ping 192.168.1.1 I get timeout (I also can’t open its webpage from my computer connected to ether2) so I don’t know what is wrong here
Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards
As usual, more details would help. Exact subnets used, how is everything connected, what devices in each network use as default gateway, … stuff like that.
well allright my main router Mikrotik is on 192.168.88.1 and has /24 subnet mask
the second router which is connected to ether6 of my mikrotik is on 192.168.1.1 and has /24 subnet mask
I would like to ping the second router from mikrotik and I would also like to comunicate with the second router from my main pc which is connected to ether2
router 1 mikrotik has default gateway of 192.168.88.1
and 2 router has default gateway of 192.168.1.1
2 router has DHCP Server and doesn’t have DHCP Client so it won’t obtain IP Adress automaticly
there is only 1 device on mikrotik (my pc) and none devices on 2 router which is connected to mikrotik ether6 port
I’m getting a little lost in your description…
So router #1 has 192.168.88.1/24 on its LAN interface, I assume. But the LAN interface is what exactly? Group of switched ports? Which ones?
Is ether6 part of main LAN? Or is it independent port? If it’s the latter, what address and subnet does it have?
Router #2 has 192.168.1.1/24 where exactly? On interface connected to router #1 or on some other?
I’d guess that ether2 is part of main LAN, right? What address does your PC have?
I thought that routers themselves have these addresses…
It has DHCP server on what interface? The one connected to router #1 or another one without anything connected to it? Is there any IP address on interface connected to router #1?
I don’t want to underestimate you, but you are familiar with the idea that in order to talk to each other in the same network segment, both devices usually need to have addresses from same IP subnet, right? So if router #2 is plugged in 192.168.88.0/24 LAN, it needs to have address 192.168.88.x/24 on the interface which is plugged there.
Hi thanks for anwsering
the thing is that router is an ISP Router that performs some functions that I can’t seem to acomplish on mikrotik so I would like to reverse the order
normally this ISP Router is connected to ISP Main network (which uses Huawei HG8010H to convert from FTTH to UTP) and this router then preforms some magic with IPTV and Internet as I can’t seem to perform the same magic on mikrotik I thought I would just connect direcly to Huawei HG8010H (conenct to PPPoE tunnel to get IP and tag vlan on 3999 for IPTV (Internet and IPTV works fine without ISPs Rotuer) then I would connect the ISP Router to Mikrotik
PS: ISP Router Innbox V60-U this one: http://iskratel.com/en/products/broadband-cpe/universal-cpe/innbox-v60-u

now I know that ISP Router has PPoE Client on its WAN Port (I think it doesn’t have DHCP Client so it can’t just pull ip from mikrotik) so I think if I just create a PPPoE server on mikrotik it will pull IP from it
it also servers DHCP on all of its LAN Ports (not WAN) and it has an IP 192.168.1.1 on its LAN not WAN
I am connnecting it into Mikrotik ether6 which is on a 100Mbit swich group and my PC is on Gbit swich group (ether2)
ether6 is part of bridge (which also has ether2 in it)
I would like to connect to ISPs Router webpage because I could see a bit more if it connects to PPPoE Server (well most if web interface is locked anyawy but I can acsess some of it)
Hope you can help me to acomplish this stupid thing
To tell the truth, I have zero experience with PPPoE and IPTV, so it’s not very good starting point if I want to help you with the whole thing.
On the other hand, one thing seems clear. If the other router doesn’t have any IP address on its WAN (which is connected to first router), you won’t be able to connect to it from your network. So the easy and obvious solution is to connect computer to this other router’s LAN, get 192.168.1.x from its DHCP server and be able to access web interface without any problem.
Preferably it would be second computer, to be able to look at admin interface of both routers at the same time. But even if you had just one, moving ethernet cable from one router’s port to another doesn’t take much time. Or you can be connected to one router using ethernet and to another using wi-fi, if your computers has it.
Make sure you ping from the correct interface on the MT.
This seems a bit perculiar to me. Why bridge if you’re using different subnets? That would bypass the router features of the MT that you need for the two subnets to talk to eachother.
A drawing would help as establishing a clear picture from the situation is not easy to deduct from your description.
Unless you need that router for VoIP, if you can find/supply the PPPoE and IPTV settings for your ISP you can ditch that router all together as everything can be done by the RB2011. Much simpler.
well I solved it I created PPPoE Server on ether6 connected WAN port from ISP router to it and also tag VLAN with id 3999 on ether6 (connecting it to another VLAN tag 3999 which is on ether1 for IPTV for VOIP i did the same expect used VLAN tag 3998 instead) everything worked OK exept the router always brings ether6 down (and then it needs 5 minutes to connect again (anyone know why ether6 is constantly down/up?) sometimes mikrotik just reboots while its connected to it
