Hi, does any one else have issues where you try logging into a device either new of already configured but it will give you a MAC error?
Note on windows it works perfectly.
No problems here. Can you be more explicit about what you mean by logging on?
- ssh?
- WinBox? [which version?]
- WebFig?
And what exactly do you mean by "give you a MAC error"?
It kinda sounds like you're trying to do a MAC connect and don't have the Linux Firewall configured correctly.
Keep in mind that the (in most cases) default firewall isn't application aware.
For example: when using cachyos you'll have to allow the MAC Telnet Port in ufw.
or just use IP to connect
It can also be you have multiple ethernet/Wi-Fi adapters. So while MNDP discovery will show the MAC addresses in WinBox (which comes from UDP), but when connecting WinBox often uses the primary interface to send the MAC connection request, which may not know the MAC address shown from discovery. IDK if this is true on all platforms, but at least on macOS, this can happen.
