Static IP on single interface which is member of a bridge

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I’m using the Mikrotik RB951Ui-2HnD.

I have the ports 2-5 bridged, with a dhcp server providing addresses in the range 10.100.0.0/24
I have port 5 configured to be also listening on static IP 192.168.254.254/30

However, I can only ping the router on its static IP on port 5, when the bridge is disabled.
Is there anything I’m forgetting here ?

Thanks,

Hello

You can’t assign an address to a slaved port.

You’ll have to review your design.

In a layer 2 network, you should only have one network. So you have port 2-5 bridged together as one layer 2 network, you can not add port 5 to another one.

It sounds to me that you have a second equipment on port 5, if you just want to communicate with that equipment you can create a static route to this equipment. Again, I don’t know your layout, but maybe you can change the 192.168.254.254/30 IP to something in your DHCP range as well? There are many possibilites, unfortunately, as said here, you can’t have an IP address assigned to a slave interface.

If you want you can post your configuration and we can see if there are other possibilities to solve your problem.
