hi.
Is it possible to add one/a range external ip address to local network in mikrotik router?
I mean for example my ip x.x.x.x could be known as a local system address in winbox so i can access router as a local ip with my ip address.
more explanation:
I’ve a router with external ip address : x.x.x.x
and my system ip address (using adsl) is y.y.y.y
now, is it possible to assign x.x.x.x as local network ip on my system or
assign y.y.y.y on mikrotik router as local network ip?
thanks.
Hi
any help??
i mean all ways to connect from client (windows user) to a mikrotik router server and being a local user of router server. (like using vpn)
tnx.
The answer is “maybe” but it’s not really clear what you’re trying to do.
Are you trying to remotely administer your router from an external (WAN) location? That’s certainly possible, and relatively simple using firewall rules and server (ssh, http, https) configuration.
Are you trying to get to a LAN server from the WAN? That’s also possible and requires some port forwarding and NAT rules.
Are you trying to get to a piece of equipment (like your cable/dsl modem) that is on the WAN side of the router? That’s also relatively simple using a 2nd address on your external interface.
More details will make for a better answer.
Hello tjc
first thanks for your help
Yes.
I want to do like this:
"Are you trying to get to a LAN server from the WAN? "
I want to get to a lan of a mirotik router server from the wan and through internet. ( for example as a vpn user on a vpn server which an internal ip is assigned to that user and it’s a user of lan, so it can work with other local users “with an invalid ip address” )
thanks alot again.
For that see fewi’s configuration tutorial which covers setting up port forwarding for a DMZ server. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_configure_a_home_router
Thanks tjc
But I didn’t understand the passage ..
Can you tell brief of the subject ?
in short, I want to access router’s LAN from WAN (ways like configuring a VPN server )
Your best bet may be to start with a networking primer. DMZ is a pretty standard term for the part of your network that is exposed to the outside world. In an advanced setup isolated between the outer and inner firewall, in a SOHO setup usually a network segment isolated on a particular port. For example:
port 1 - WAN
port 2 - DMZ
port 3-5 - LAN
See the following pages both of which describe how to setup a DMZ:
