I just got SXT 5HPnD and I can not connect over winbox with MAC address.
I got error:
Could not connect to 00:0C:42:XX:XX:XX (port 20561) - timed out!
I saw some people already had this problem.
I didn’t since on same PC I can connect to SXT 5HnD without problem.
I’ll take a further look…
Edit:
SXT 5HPnD v5.21
Winbox v2.2.18
Unpleasant situation:
switch - SXT 5HPnD1 -( )- SXT 5HPnD2 - PC
Assume I can not perform MAC telnet on SXT 5HPnD2 from SXT 5HPnD1.
But since my Management IP is over VLAN interface I can not connect from ethernet interface over IP address and now I can not connect over MAC address either…
So I need some IP address (ie 192.168.88.2) on ethernet interface.
/interface vlan> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
# NAME MTU ARP VLAN-ID INTERFACE
0 R vlan10-name 1500 enabled 10 bridge1
/ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK INTERFACE
0 ;;; default configuration
192.168.88.2/24 192.168.88.0 ether1-local
1 10.11.15.38/27 10.11.15.32 vlan10-name
When I do same with SXT 5HnD it works fine with same settings (except no need for local ethernet IP address)
Problem was that MAC address on interface was disabled (by default).
You can check status:
[user@SXT] /tool mac-server mac-winbox> print
Flags: X - disabled, * - default
# INTERFACE
0 X* all
1 ether1-local
and if you have X that means that interface is disabled. Enable it and Winbox will work:
[user@SXT] /tool mac-server mac-winbox>
[user@SXT] /tool mac-server mac-winbox> enable 0
[user@SXT] /tool mac-server mac-winbox> print
Flags: X - disabled, * - default
# INTERFACE
0 * all
1 ether1-local
