Routing my Vlan onto the Internet

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Afternoon all.

A quick question if you don’t mind.

Ive got an RB1200 connected to the net on Ether-10

Ether1-5 are feeding some access points, using a VLAN of 20 for the management ip range 192.168.16.0/24. Theres a hotspot running on RB1200 on VLAN30 which is bridged with the WLAN on the access points

All works fine, hotspot clients have internet access.

I cant get the actual access points on the net though, they have a default route 0.0.0.0/0 point to 192.168.16.1 which is the RB1200.

They can ping each other on the 192.168.16.0/24 range, and can also ping the RB1200 on its range of 192.168.15.10 (it also has 192.168.16.1/24 set up on its vlan interface)

Am i missing something, as I assumed the RB1200 would route from the 192.168.16.0 range out onto the internet, but its not. A traceroute from the Access Points shows the traffic going to 192.168.16.1 (the RB1200), then timing out on 0.0.0.0.

THe RB1200 has internet connectiving no problem, a trace route from the telnet session on the RB1200 works fine.

Any ideas?

Do you have a NAT rule for that subnet? A VLAN is just another routed interface as far as a MikroTik is concerned.

Strange, rebooted the devices (Both the RB1200 and 433) and all working. I didn’t have the NAT though, so have added it (works with and without it though)

Thanks for the input.
