Doing both DHCP with NAT and just static routing

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hey
We currently have several servers setup. We want a group to be accessible via a internal network so they have DHCP setup as soon as the routerboard assigns a IP we mark it as static on the router. We then configure NAT to assign the static IPs we need (We need several per server) to the internal IP.

This means that we have to create several internal IPs then link them all to static. This is both hard to keep track of and creates unnecessary load on the switch.

We were wondering if there was a way to assign the static IPs directly to the server instead. So we could have one IP on the server be internal and the rest the static IPs.

We also have servers that we don’t want to have access to the internal network so we would like to have devices run only off the static IPs.

Thanks

Can you export a copy of your current config (pop it in a code block on here) and perhaps a diagram or two showing us what you have, followed by what you would like. That will make it easier for others to provide feedback and comment on your proposal.

hey,
I can’t share the log info because it contains the IPs but here is structure we want:

Static IPs /27
We also have a internal network setup 192.168.88.0/24

Now we have servers that are setup with a internal IP 192.168.88.2 and then using NAT we assign them a static IP.

We have servers that we want to only access the static IPs and not the internal network.

So question is how can we route those static IPs directly to the servers we need? and also is it possible to link static IPs directly to a server and also route a internal IP with NAT static routing at the same time?

Thanks

We have servers that we want to only access the static IPs and not the internal network.

Where are the servers? Are they on the internet, or are they local to the router? I think as ebreyit suggested, a diagram would be useful her.

Here is what we currently have. Sorry for the rough sketch.

We have a bunch of local servers, they are setup using DHCP with our local network and IPs which we hard linked to be static. We then Nated them to link them to corresponding Public IPs.

We found that using nat isn’t practical as it’s putting a lot of load on the routerboard and won’t work well with our software but we still want local IPs so we can move data within our network and not use up bandwidth.

So we want to have both a local IP assigned to each of the servers and have it directly access our uplink so we could setup the IPs from the server.

Thanks please let me know if you need further specifications.
