I am running routeros on x86 router, and therefore there is no switch chip in the router. In order to make eth2 and eth3 as switch, I have to bridge this 2 port. Eth1 is the WAN port to internet.
The problem I am facing is that after bridging eth2 and eth3, the IP hitting the server sitting on eth2 is coming from the bridge IP 10.0.1.231 , instead of the real internet IP. So, the web server on eth2 seeing traffic all coming from 10.0.1.231 no matter who on Internet browsing on my Apache web server.
Is this the drawback of using a bridge? Anyway to fix it? I appreciate any help! Thx.
