Hello everybody
I have a problem :
I have lgh lte. It works fine in router mode and when I assign passthrough to ether1 I works fine too but I can’t access anymore to the lhg via winbox or web.
The only way was to reset it
What should I do to get the access back?
And also what is the purpose of the button called “mode” next to reset ? How to use it ?
Thank you
Hi
with passthrough, all packets from the bound host (based on associated mac) will be forwarded to lte device.
So if you use same port to manage the lte device as the one receiving the “lte signal”, connectivity will be lost indeed.
Two options:
I’m interested into this option: may you kindly take care to elaborate a tad more, even using wiki links?
For instance, what did you mean for “different device on same network”? Or which IP and which interfaces should/could be assigned to the newly created bridge?
have tried the search feature? https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE#Passthrough_Example
LTE pass-through is locked to specific MAC (either given or chosen), so communication from another MAC on same subnet is not affected (hijacked), and router can be reached.
wrt bridge, on the client side an additional bridge, with manually set MAC (different from interface mac connected to LTE) is needed. That bridge should contain only 1 interface: the interface connected to LTE. Do note: in this config the brdige will NOT be hardware accelerated, but mgmt traffic is normally low volume, so not an issue.
Hi sebastia,
I have encountered this passthrough issue with RBwAPR-2nD R11e-LTE-US. I created a VLAN interface “vlan-management” using interface “ether1” to try to prevent the loss of connectivity to the router. I then added an IP to the “vlan-management” interface and could connect through that interface. I disabled the bridge that ether1 was on so that it was not a slave anymore and could still connect to my router through “vlan-management” interface. After enabling passthrough on the router on ether1 (this router only has 1 ethernet port) I lose connectivity via “vlan-management” shortly after. Any suggestions? I thought that my setup was correctly following https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE#Passthrough_Example.
Thank you
in your case the vlan / mgmt traffic is caring same mac as passthrough, and hence gets hijacked by lte interface.
in current setup you’ll need a bridge with other mac for the vlan
OR
reverse the config: mgmt over “plain” eth and passthrough over vlan without extra bridge
A workaround for this that works for me:
After that, you can use another MikroTik device as a RoMON agent and connect via Winbox.
Even better, SSH into your router, then RoMON ssh into your LTE device, ftw.
