How TO Set Simple ROUTING ????

cornflicks · October 30, 2007, 11:44pm

I’m trying to set my Routerboard 523 in such a manner that all traffic from the wireless network will be routed to the wired network and vice versa. No NAT needed !!

Please tell me how to configure this to work correctly

192.168.200.0/25 - network address
192.168.200.127 - broadcast address
255.255.255.128 - subnet mask

192.168.200.1 - DHCP, DNS Server
192.168.200.2 - Gateway
192.168.200.7 - Routerboard IP Address

THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE

I’m assuming you have 2.9 (which is where I, again, assume they enabled connecting Winbox via MAC).

Open the Winbox, click the … and connect via MAC (use login admin, no passwd)

IP → Addresses

Click the +

Put 192.168.200.?/25 in the IP, select the interface and hit OK

I’m confused at this point what exactly you want. Do you want those three IPs on the Routerboard? To my knowledge you can’t specify which IPs the DNS server listens on or DHCP server (which wouldn’t much matter anyways).

Please explain what you want the Routerboard to do. If you have another box doing DHCP/DNS/WINS/whatever don’t mention it, it isn’t part of your question.

actually, I just wanted to have the unit function as a WISP Access Point. i found a solution though. Thanks

I read you found a solution, but i have to say that the best way to do what you want is to “bridge” the interfaces

Could you please explain the solution you found as I want to implement the same thing but dont have idea how?

Just an AP? Set an IP address/netmask/gateway on ether1 and bridge all interfaces to it.

How are you configuring your boxes? I am using the CLI (command line), and occasionally the web-based interface for bridging setup once I have ether1 up and assigned.

Well I do both WinBox and Command line. Could you explain how with a little example?
Thanks

Sure

i logon via serial port. Then

/interface enable ether1
/ip address add address=192.168.200.4/25 interface=ether1
/ip route add gateway=192.168.200.2

The I logon to the box with a web browser
http://192.168.200.4
I used the 192.168.200.4/25 IP/netmask from your example.
Under Interfaces, select “use bridge interface” and select “bridged” for all interfaces.
Set up the wireless card while you are there.

Oh, and change the password!!!
