I have no idea what in the world is going on but here goes…
Brand new router, installed 6.0 for tile, blank config, added ip address for public interface/lan1/lan2, added route and nat masquerade, everything is working great at this point.
Once I unplug my laptop and plug the lan1/lan2 into the switch, the internet route on the router stops working. I can configure my laptop as the ip for the T1 and there are no issues plugged into the adtran. Surfs great. I can plug into lan1 with my laptop and t1 to my public interface and no issues. When I plug into the switch I can get into the router but I cannot ping my default gateway or pass traffic to it.
Any ideas? This $900 router is starting to look like a dud.
I’m thinking it’s the VLAN’s as well. I got onto the console of the switches (I inherited this setup from a previous employee) and it looks like the VLAN setup is all screwed up and far from how the network documentation shows.
As it sits they have the entire network running on 100mbit switches… nearly 100 hosts and 8 servers and 100mbit… super!
It’s possible that macs get leaked between the interfaces (maybe a bug), that’s why it’s important to know if these ports share the same broadcast domain or not. If they are in seperate VLANs we can rule out this situation.
If you connect the switch to the CCR, is the CCR able to reach the internet but the client aren’t or is the CCR also not able to reach the Internet?
Well, that’s really strange… I’ve never seen that before… I would reset the CCR to factory defaults and start from scratch. I’ve got some CCRs which are running in similar configs and they do nothing like that.
I did it three times last night. We’re ordering another $3500 in switches to replace the crap we have now at this site. I’ll be redoing the vlan setup when they arrive so hopefully that’ll fix it.
I have a rb751u-2hnd running with the same effective configuration in it’s place now. I’m irritated I’ve spent nearly $1k and have spent 20+ hours trying to troubleshoot the CCR. I assumed the flagship product would be a bit higher quality. Very bad taste in my mouth with Mikrotik now… Their support has been pretty bad with this issue as well.
