how to force mikrotik to route /32

[peterd]

Hi,

I’m having this issue with a vps provider ..
the way they have their system configured for vps’s to use public ip addresses is to route an /32 ip

so lets say we have an 1.1.1.1/32 ip address that needs to be routed through 2.2.2.2 gw

it works on linux via this config:

/etc/network/interfaces
 auto lo eth0
 iface lo inet loopback
 iface eth0 inet static
 address 1.1.1.1
 netmask 255.255.255.255
 broadcast 1.1.1.1
 post-up route add 2.2.2.2 dev eth0
 post-up route add default gw 2.2.2.2

is there a way to force mt to route through that specific gw without adding an address within the gw network ?

Thanks

/ip route add dst-address=1.1.1.1/32 gateway=2.2.2.2

thanks mrz,

i have found answer in this post, that somehow slipped thorough my last night forum search

In my case this was the answer ..

@janisk

for /32 addresses you have to set precisely other end IP address as a network, and subnets in that case does not really matter anymore. here is example:

Router1:

/ip address add address=10.0.0.1/32 network=10.99.88.77 interface=ether1

Rotuer2:

/ip address add address=10.99.88.77/32 network=10.0.0.1 interface=ether1

now, you have p2p addressing, check if other end supprots /32 addressing or else you will have to go with /30 where you waste a lot of addresses (if that is of a concern)
