I am working with CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, OS upgraded to 6.27. I am having problem when trying to connect it to internet. First thing I noticed was there was no WAN port, only ethernet ports, but that is not problem I guess. I am not sure if I can use ether1 to connect to ISP, since I read somewhere that port is used to connect to router and indeed I tried and couldn’t connect to router with winbox via other ports.
So I tried to plugin ISP to ether2 and assigned IP to that port (the one that ISP gave us) and added DNS servers. That is where the problems started. I plugged in my computer directly to ether4 port and tried pinging some internet IP, I was unable to do so. I followed instructions from manual’s page. From router terminal I can ping any given IP from internet so I assume router is connected to internet.
I added NAT in IP > Firewall > NAT following example on manual’s page. I tried making some static routing, that doesn’t help either.
Ether1 - 4 go thru common switch. But generally all ports are programmable separately. Doesn’t matter how you use what port. For wan it is wise to use one of nonswitched ports. See the block diagram.
But still there is no connection to internet on client computer. I can now ping all active interfaces from client PC, but can connect to internet.
My ISP address is: xx.xx.x6.106/24 and gateway is xx.xx.x6.105 and that is on ehter5 now.
On ether4 is 10.0.21.1/24 and there is a DHCP server on that port. Like I said, I have set DNS IP addresses, and client PC get all correct values:
IP 10.0.21.254
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.21.1
DNS: xx.xx.x6.1
DNS: xx.xx.x6.9
Yes, I added those, turns out DNS that we got from ISP was not working, so that pretty much made much confusion. After entering google’s public DNS, everything came to place.
