2 different IP networks on the same Mikrotik Router.
Would like users on each IP network to be able to mac-telnet to the other IP network.
Is this possible?
What strategies would be used to do this?
MAC telnet works on layer 2. Different IP networks by definition are separated by layer 3 hops.
Why would you need MAC telnet? It’s a last ditch effort to try when you can’t connect via IP address. Just use regular telnet, or - even better - SSH.
I know what you are trying to do, but the easiest would be to register a winbox:// handler in the OS and setup all the devices in dude… Ive got over 200 MT devices out there all accessible through a vpn and it can be a struggle to keep em organized.
Well we configure about 50 mikrotiks a week; and we do so by plugging into our network and mac-telneting in. It is quite easy because you can copy backup files; and router OS files; and compare setting to live devices much easier. What I was trying to do was lock down the network our workstations are on; and force all other “random” or “temporary” devices onto another network. But if we did this we could no longer mac-telnet into the routers we were provisioning from our workstations. After researching not sure if this is possible. It seems like it would be though.
