Hotspot with local Apache server

RouterOS General
1

Hi all

I am trying to host an external login page(which I do often with a normal web server) on a local Apache server. Here is the basis of the set up:

Hotspot : Bridge1 (10.0.0.1/24)
Eth4 : Network for Apache server(192.168.4.1/24), Apache server 192.168.4.255
Route : 192.168.4.0 through Eth4
192.168.4.255 added to Hotspot Walled Garden

For some reason when I try to ping the Apache server, I get no response. What am I missing?

Regards

192.168.4.255 is the broadcast address of the subnet 192.168.4.0!

Sorry about that, typo.

Just to be clear, I do not want users outside the hotspot network to be able to access the Apache server. Simply host the login page on the Apache server for hotspot users. The reason is that we have a lot of multi media on the login page, at sites with very low bandwidth.

Thanks in advance

The apache server itself must also be logged into the hotspot if it’s part of it.

That, or you need to provide a binding of type “bypassed” (+ a static DHCP lease, to make sure its MAC gets a particular IP).

Thank you so much!! I had the binding set to the MAC address, but without an IP.

Appreciate the help!
