Primary ISP:
Starlink 100.64.0.0/10 Dynamic IP GW 10.64.0.1 on WAN %ether1
Lan Default 192.168.88.0/24
Bridge/LAN
%ether1, 2, 3 & 4.
%ether5
172.16.16.3/24 and GW of 172.16.16.1(to reach the 172.16.16.0/24 network available on ETH cable plugged into the 172.16.16.0/24 LAN Port)
Now the ringer. 192.168.100.1/32 aka Dishy.Starlink.Com to get local direct access to the Starlink High Performance on %ether1
If I ping 192.168.100.1 it’s currently routing it out %ether5 to Dishy 192.168.100.1 the Starlink HP feeing the 172.16.16.0/24 subnet.
I can’t seem to say if I’m on the bridge/LAN 192.168.88.xx IP’s I want to route to the local Dishy(192.168.100.1 via %ether1) I can tell from the opstruciton map which unit I’m actually looking at. And if I remove the cable on %ether5 my ping/access to 192.168.100.1 goes away. So I’m sure the RB450G2x4 is somehow picking up the LAN route from %ether5 and not the static I point to %ehter1
Thoughts on how to get this to work?
Or am I going about this all wrong?
Is there a simple way to say %ether5 is plugged into the 172.16.16.0/24 LAN Segment(Set a Static IP, or DHCP is available on the port).
And add a route from the main WAN/LAN/Bridge %ether1, %ether2, %ether3 & %ether4192.168.88.0/24 to 192.168.100.1 so I can talk directly from my LAN, via the WAN to 192.168.100.1
The obvious question is why you are trying to break the network into segments per port why not just run different networks per port.
It’s generally easier to connect already segmented networks because it just requires basic routing.
I have two homes linked by a near Gb wireless link. Some of my networking gear is on the 172.16.16.0/24 network across the LAN. At the moment I have to switch SSID’s on my wireless or change ports on ethernet to get to the other gear. And the second “remote/network” is already fully functional and is served via a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE at the remote location. If I’m on the Ubiquiti network I have the 192.168.100.1/32 routed out the WAN port and I can see the Starlink HP#2, statistics page, configuration(Turn the Dishy’s Heat On/Off}.
So I guess not specifically by port but Bridge/Switching/LAN Group. On the Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE it was as easy as adding a route and telling it to route to a specific port ie WAN1 and presto it works flawlessly.
Local RB450G2x4
WAN/ether1 ↔ Starlink HP#1 in Bypass Mode (100.64.0.0/10 Dynamic Ipv4 & IPv6, and 192.168.100.1/32(Dishy Management)
LAN ether2, ether3 & ether 4 192.168.88.0/24
My config at the moment I can get to the 172.16.16.0/24 via ether2, 3 & 4 but the 192.168.100.1/32 is routed out ether5 and across the wireless link to Starlink HP#2 at the 2nd home. It may be that I removed ether5 from the bridge, I did not create a unique name for the 2nd LAN, possibly the RB450G2x4 seeing the routing from the Ubiquiti that has a route for the 192.168.100.1/32.
I’m stuck thus I have tried to make a clear picture of what I’m trying to accomplish.
LAN/(LAN2 do I need new name?) ether5 ↔ Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE/LAN (Should I re-name the 2nd LAN to a unique name ie LAN2?)
172.16.16.0/24 I need to route this segment.
192.168.100.1/32 This should not be routed out ether5 but out the WAN/ether1 ie Local Dishy#1, not Remote Dishy#2.
available but no need to be routed 192.168.4.0/24
available but no need to be routed 192.168.7.0.24
It’s just a straight source route from the IP ranges exactly as you described.
The exact how depends on mikrotik router OS version but search source-routing for OS6 or OS7 whichever you are on.
Ok and If I want to plug ether5 into another routers LAN port questions I have.
Do I just want to setup a static IP on the port?
Do I want to have is part of the ether2, 3 & 4 Bridge.
Remove it from the Bridge as I have done and name in something other than LAN ie LAN2
I think I can now get the routing sorted out. Just not sure how to configure the GW/ether5 to properly just act as a LAN client to my other router. Static IP of can I simply say DHCP somehow and route to ether5 with the routing statements.
