Got a question, but kinda silly, I am new to routing and all. I got two IP ranges on one ethernet port, one is for a device (IP: 10.0.0.1/30 Device: 10.0.0.2) and the other (IP 192.168.152.250/24) is for the rest of the network with DHCP.
I want to be able to access devices on the other IP range and vice versa. I have tried routing, but didn’t help, I can ping the ip’s on the other IP range but can’t get access to them, like routers and other hosts.
IP ranges are on lhg ethernet for testing.
What am I missing and is it possible to do it with routing?
Multinetting (assignment of more than one IP address to an interface) is fine, and the appropriate routing table entries will be created automatically.
If you can ping both 10.0.0.2 and 192.168.152.x from the mikrotik, but can’t ping or access 10.0.0.2 from 192.168.152.x, what is most likely happening is that forwarded traffic leaving by the interface it arrived on is being marked as as invalid, and the ‘drop forward invalid’ firewall rule (part of the default set of rules) is discarding the packets.
If it is just for testing disable the aforementioned firewall rule, if required long-term add appropriate ‘accept invalid’ rules to permit the traffic.
