RBGroove52HPn IP 0.0.0.0 after 6.27 update and system reset no defaults

Hi guys,

After i updated my RBGroove52HPn to 6.27 the initial reboot and login was fine - then since i wanted to start “fresh”
i did a “system reset no defaults” and now i can’t access it anymore since the IP is on 0.0.0.0 - any ideas?


I appreciate any help to solve this mystery (to me)!

Thanks!

Quite simple really.

Mikrotik devices offer layer 2 management access, so if you start up winbox and click […] to get a device list (or “Neighbors” on the newer winbox) you can click on the MAC address of the device, and still open a winbox interface where you can add an ip.

If you cannot access it using the MAC Layer, make sure that you dont have any virtual ethernet interfaces on your PC, like VMWARE or Virtualbox Ethernet interfaces. You can simply disable them in your network and sharing center.

As a last resort you can plug the device into a working Mikrotik router (ie. RB750 or similar) and under IP->Neighbors right click on the device and do a MAC-Telnet. You can then use the command line to add an ip:

/ip address add address=10.0.0.1/24 interface=ether1
