Unique Routing Situation

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

I have a unique situation I will need to setup in the next couple of months. I have been testing Ideas at home to try to make this work with not much success. So I wanted to see if anyone out there has a great idea for me.

We are purchasing a new press that has 8 towers, each tower has a PCU that controls it. according to the manufactures required setup information they have sent us. each press unit has its IP address set to 192.168.1.2/24 GW:192.168.1.1. They apparently cannot be changed. The documentation they had showed one router for each PCU doing a 1:1 nat giving us the ability to access each as its own unit.

I have been attempting to work out a way to accomplish this with one MikroTik. If we have to Ill purchase a unit for each tower if need be, but I guess this has become sort of a just want to see it work sort of thing. Part of it is just accomplishment, part is I like to prove the power of the router OS, our parent company likes to throw piles of money at a company that hasn’t created a ground breaking product in years, and still survives solely on their name Cough, Cisco, Cough, Cough.

Any thoughts?

I have the same exact need, multiple devices on 192.168.2.1 that I can not change and would like to set up an internal directly NAT’ed address such as (192.168.100.101 to port 2 [192.168.2.1], 192.168.100.102 to port 3 [192.168.2.1], 192.168.100.103 to port 4 [192.168.2.1], 192.168.100.104 to port 5 [192.168.2.1]) to each port of a 750 that they are plugged into. Also each port should be isolated or vlan’ed so no cross talk or bad routing occurs.


Thanks in advance
