I am having trouble accessing an RB450G remotely via the internet. I have configured the SNMP settings in the same manner I do for say RB433 series boards, but I can’t still reach this router remotely via the web. Anyone with ideas what could be wrong?
Do you have problems with SNMP or Web access?
When there is no WEB/Winbox/SSH access, most likely SNMP is not going to work too.
- make sure correct IP address/route is used on both routers;
- check firewall rules and make sure SNMP/WEB traffic is not filtered.
The problem is web access. I think my SNMP settings are ok, but I cant reach the RB450G via the web.
Aswani, are you able to reach RouterBOARD via web from the same network router?
Hello Sergejs, Yes I can. The problem is that when I am away from the installation, I can’t access the RB450G via winbox over the web.
Maybe firewall is enabled on the router.
Check by command
/ip firewall filter print
look for rules with action=drop in chain=input.
Disable the rule and try to access router again.
If access is working, add exception rule to firewall to allow access from remote location, enable input drop rule at the end.
Hello Sergejs, sorry i didn’t get back to you on this. It worked very fine when i disabled a rule in the firewall with action=drop in chain=input. Thanks for your help
