Hello
I am Mikrotik beginner, but fascinated with the options of Routerboards. I have come across a problem in one network. We have here a couple of public ip adresses which uses NAT with masquerade for a local network and port mapping for voip gateways and servers. Right now we set up a 750G routerboard with public ip on eth-gateway 84.xx.xx.179 and mask /29, which happens to count automatically the network to 84.xx.xx.168 and broadcast to 84.xx.xx.175 - but unfortunately as I have never come across this parameters on “usual” routers, I am not quite confident are they used for. Then there is src-nat with masquerade, static route for a gateway and dst-nat for the servers.
As for now, everything works perfect unless I connect second 750G routerboard with the similar configuration. difference is only that on eth-gateway is ip set to 84.xx.xx.174 with the same mask (obtained from isp) /29 and then as in first case, is counts automatically the network to 84.xx.xx.168 and broadcast to 84.xx.xx.175, which are the same as for the first routerboard. Then there is different lan ip of course.
When I connect the second routerboard to the network, it does not work. On client computer, when I use the second one as a gateway for internet, it remains offline. Could you please somebody help me with this ?
thank you in advance
