Metal 5SHPn cannot mac-telnet via wlan1...

Hi all,

i able to mac-telnet the Metal 5SHPn via ethernet but not wlan1…
anyone having same problem and how you solve it???

i have hundred unit on hand and all was same issue…

See to rules in Firewall

i reset-configuration with no default…
mean, it’s empty thing but still the same…

nothing in firewall…

Probably MAC-Server is disabled on ‘wlan1’ by default.

HTH,

nope, by default mac server enable for all interface…

Is ‘wlan1’ MAC-Address not visible when you click Winbox’s […] button?
Maybe neighbor discovery is disabled on ‘wlan1’ inteface?

Or you are not able to connect even if MAC-Address is typed directly into Winbox?

HTH,

Ditonet,
using mac-telnet by winbox access via ethernet that’s no issue.
but from the routerboard to routerboard (via wireless) then it cannot…

other model like RB411 (with wireless card) all have no such issue, but this model, yes, there is problem…

When you are trying to connect to Metal using MAC-Telnet,
is Metal ‘wlan1’ interface visible on Neighbor list on RouterBoard you connect from?
(Winbox/IP/Neighbor)

Regards,

Hi, ditonet,
yes, in fact, this is the first time we facing this…
i am not sure are you getting the same, or can you export the configuration then i do the comparison…

This happens on all SXT models. Is there resolution?

After some reading I think I found my issue with the SXT’s so I thought I’d put here in case it helps others.

I use the SXT’s primarily as a transparent bridge. Either bridging ether1/wlan1 or ether1/vlanX.

While the mac-server is enable on “*all” interfaces I found that I had to disable the default and add each one individually to make the mac-telnet work properly. Like this:

/tool mac-server
set [ find default=yes ] disabled=yes
add interface=ether1
add interface=bridge1
add interface=wlan1

When I do this I have verified on every machine I’ve had trouble mac-telnet works now. Why, I don’t know.

Hi, that’s because of the admin interface MAC address issue…
