RB133 - how to make it possible to log in to admin panel wia ether2 ?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello.

A few days ago I bought RB133 (my first time with mikrotik).
I set up DHCP (range 192.168.2.2-192.168.2.254) on ether2 so now after a notebook is connected to ether2 then IP address is properly given (192.158.2.254). But I cannot to go to admin panel via ether2. It is only possible from ether1 side (I need to set static addresses on my PC (192.168.88.2, 255.255.255.0, DNS = Gateway = 192.168.88.1). Then I can go to 192.168.88.1 and log into admin panel.

Also using my WinBox I’m able to conect only via IP address (no neibours is find → mikrotik cant be find via mac).

My current OS is 3.30.

Please help me.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards
Mariusz

Your router IP and your PC address need to be from one subnet, to connect with IP.

Have you set ether2 ip addres from ip 192.168.2.0/24 ?

Also make sure that there are no firewall restrictions.

Your router IP and your PC address need to be from one subnet, to connect with IP.

Of course. As it was mentioned:

  • on ether1 there is no DHCP (WAN port), so I need to give to my PC static addressed to make it possible to connect default mikrotik address (192.168.88.1) but it works successfully.

  • on ether2 I have DHCP configured so I swith my PC to “get IP automatically from DHCP”
    and my PC gets IP address from DHCP server on ether2 (in my case 192.168.2.254 is given for me)

But I cannot to connect to mikrotik panel (192.168.2.1 in this case). No response via WWW, no response via WinBox.

Also make sure that there are no firewall restrictions.

There are no rules here:

Could you plese copy /export command output here ?



About winbox neighbor problem, Please check:

/tool mac-server print
Does ether2 support mac-server ?

/ip neighbor discovery print
Does ether 2 is enabled ?

Please use latest Winbox:

What it exactly means “command output”? What should I do?

New Terminal and in CLI type export

It is export from my 433 model with 3 ethernet ports. Minimal version.
All ports are bridged, IP set for bridge so all ports are seen as the same address. I am using it as “stupid” ping machine which I could log into.
There is no WAN port as this 433 is connected to other 433 which acts as router.

/interface bridge
add name=BRLAN
/interface bridge port
add bridge=BRLAN interface=ether3
add bridge=BRLAN interface=ether1
add bridge=BRLAN interface=ether2
/ip address
add address=192.168.102.251/24 interface=BRLAN network=192.168.102.0
/ip route
add distance=1 gateway=192.168.102.1

Reset your 133 and copy&paste or retype these commands and your device should work.

I don't know how but it started working for me...

But still missing via MAC (Winbox)

[admin@MikroTik] > tool mac-server print
Flags: X - disabled

INTERFACE

0 all
[admin@MikroTik] >

If you have VMWare tools installed then WinBox does not like them and has problems with detecting devices.
Is your firewall on or off ? Is it on public or private lan ? Check it.

Interesting, what conditions? I’ve run Winbox on a variety of Windows VMs with VMware tools and haven’t noticed a problem.

I am writing about vSphere client / VM Player which installs virtual interfaces on workstation what somehow fools WinBox MAC scanner.
Search forum, there are posts regarding these problems suggesting to disable these virtual interfaces.

Ahh, I see, VMware tools in general, not the specific thing called ‘VMware Tools’.
