masking ip address

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello Team,

I have a requirement of masking the IP address of mikrotik router with a name.
I use 10.10.10.1 to login to my mikrotik router.
Is it possible for us to mask it with some name like corp.internetprovider.com which internally points to 10.10.10.1 ip.
Please let me know.

Regards,
Jayaram.

You have to use DNS service. It is designed to translate names like host.domain.com to IP address.

If you use the router as your DNS resolver, you can add:

/ip dns static
add address=10.10.10.1 name=corp.internetprovider.com

It won’t work from anywhere else, but it can’t anyway if 10.10.10.1 is really your address, because it’s a private one.
