Hi,
We have just provisioned an ADSL line for a customer that is out of our area, and the ISP will only give us a single static IP.
The router we are using is a Speedtouch 780. The router has an option to pass the public IP on the PPP (ADSL Line) to a device connected to the LAN. A sort of bridge mode.
We connected the router to Ether1 on the Mikrotik and it got a private IP address (192.168.1.64). Set the Speedtouch to map the public IP to the Mikrotik. Renewed the DHCP lease on the Mikrotik, and it picked up the public IP. Which is good.
However it also injects a default route into the routing table. 0.0.0.0/0 gateway 1.2.3.4 interface Unknown.
The problem is that the WAN IP is assigned on a /24 subnet for some reason. And the gateway is on a completely different range. So the Mikrotik doesnt know what interface the gateway is accessable via.
Is there a way to force a route through an interface, rather than the Mikrotik automatically deciding the interface.
Thanks,
Alex
