I am fairly new to MikroTik, but I have messed around with it a LOT lately.
What I am doing is trying to configure a new RB433. It is replacing a PC based OS.
The PC based OS is version 2.8.16, the RB433 version is 3.22.
I obviously figured out that I would not be able to just dump the configuration from the one to the other. But the configuration is rather simple, so I thought. There is not a whole lot to configure as far as interfaces, addresses, and routes. I have left out all firewall rules on the new board to make sure that is not getting me hung up. Here is the breakdown of what I have done.
Both Interfaces are identically setup the same.
Both Addresses are identically setup the same.
Both Routes are identically setup the same.
Most everything else is also set up the same, or at least what they both have in common. The only difference is in the way the NAT is set up. The old system has ‘source’ and ‘destination’ separated by tabs, the new system has them separated by configuration picks. But I am almost sure that I have correctly configured it, there are only three rules set up. But it could be the culprit.
Here is what I have experienced so far. All ability to communicate with the outside world is gone from the private side of the router. When I am in the router I am able to ping/telnet into other routers on the outside. From a laptop command prompt I am not.
I am not sure what other information you might need to diagnose this situation. But I can get it if you ask questions. Hopefully this is just a simple ‘newbie’ error and a quick fix. Thanks in advance.
