Set static IP address

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Ok I'm a little baffled, and I must be configuring something wrong.

I have a Routerboard 411 running RouterOS v4.5 (level 3) and I am trying to setup a static IP to get to it via SSH. If I set it up using DHCP, it works fine. The only way I can currently get to it is via Winbox/MAC address method.

I have the following set:
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE

0 192.168.1.16/24 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255 ether1

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip route print
Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic, C - connect, S - static, r - rip, b - bgp, o - ospf, m - mme,
B - blackhole, U - unreachable, P - prohibit

DST-ADDRESS PREF-SRC GATEWAY DISTANCE

0 S 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.1 1

So my assumption is that everything is set correctly? I run a simple 192.168.1.x network, with the router being at 192.168.1.1. I can not ping in either direction.....

Any ideas?

Do you want to set up a static IP to the router or client(PC)?

After setting up a DHCP ypu should be able to connect to the router with the 192.168.1.1.
Without DHCP you need to set up correct ip address AND subnet address on your PC.

You also need to set up an address pool. Do you have it?

Thanks, I eventually figured it out, the mods were just late in approving the post :stuck_out_tongue:

I ended up rebooting and all is well :slight_smile:
