hello For all Mikrotik People there…! so my question like this
i have this network..as you see below in the attached file. 4 CRS236-24G mikrotik switch connected to mirotik router board
so i set the ip-route in each switch as the same
this is the config
Dst.Add:0.0.0.0
Gateway:192.168.30.1
in switch-1 and switch-2 it’s ok the gateway reachable but in switch-3 and switch-4 it give me unreachable .
well i expected that but i do not know how to fix this so please anyone can help me in this issue..?
Make sure that configuration subtree /interface bridge of all CRS switches matches that of switch1 (it seems to be fine as it allows switch2 to reach router). If you won’t be succesfull, get full config of all 4 switches (execute /export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish from terminal window, fetch files off switches, open them with text editor, redact any remaining sensitive information such as serial number) and post them here for review).
Just a hint: in switched environment no special routing should be necessary to reach switches by their IP address inside same subnet.
The instructions are good if your switches are running ROS.
hello Mr Mkx..! thanks for your response ..!
yes you’re right, all this switches is configured with same configuration except the switch-1 that have route rule
that i mention to it, however when i put the same route rule in the other switches the unreachable issue happen in
switch-3 and switch-4 .however, as you say all the three switch have the internet access without need to a route rule
but really i want to understand why this happen..how can i make the route rule for this two switchs -(switch-3 & switch-4)
reachable..? is there is any static route rule we can apply for that purpose.
Are you sure that the physical layer is working? Is the link light for eth1 on switch 3 lit (on)? Is the link light for eth2 on switch 2 lit (on)? If not, you need to solve that problem first.
If you remove the cable that is plugged into switch 3 eth1, and connect a laptop directly to that cable, can the laptop get to the router?
Routing should have no effect on the switching at layer 2. Vlan configs can. Bad cables can.
The route is only for the benefit of the CPU’s connection to the switch, or if you are using any layer 3 features (while the CRS236-24G can route, that is not designed for, it’s a switch, the ip address is just for management access, compare the switching performance to the routing performance here).
