I have consulted the wiki but didn’t see a simple way to display local lan ip address. A reference please.
In routing world, there is no such thing as “local lan ip address”. There are only interface addresses and routes. And they are all treated the same way (according to particular settings that is).
So if you try to explain (in plain English) what exactly you would like to see/achieve, we might be able to help you.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I have a laptop and a VOIP phone connected to a Mikrotik Router and I wish to log in to the phones GUI from the laptop but cant find the phones address.
I have Linux installed on the laptop.
That topic recently came up. RouterOS has less features for this than the typical modern home router.
You can look under “IP->DHCP server” and then go to the “Leases” tab.
Hopefully you recognize your devices by columns like “Active host name” or “MAC address”, if not you can restart them and see which entry changes “Expires after” time.
When you have located the correct line, you can find the IP address there.
Well how is the VoIP phone getting its address? Via dhcp? If so, asking the dhcp server for the current leases is a hint, but just because there is a valid lease doesn’t necessarily mean the device is online (powered on).
here are some hints
/ip address print
/tool ip-scan address-range=<network/mask> interface=
/ip arp print
/ip dhcp-server lease print
Usually on VoIP phones, current IP is correctly visible on system menu, directly on the phone…
Yes! Thank you and thanks to all who responded
