Good day,
I am trying to set up a small lab with a couple small 4-5 port RouterBoards.
I am having trouble getting the routing working, and I’m not sure if it is due to the firewall filters.
I have RouterBoard1 and RouterBoard2, both have had /system reset-config no-default=yes and then IPs added directly to the ports
RouterBoard1
/ip addr add address=192.168.0.1/24 interface=ether1
/ip addr add address=192.168.66.1/24 interface=ether2
Routerboard2
/ip address add address=192.168.66.2/24 interface=ether1
RouterBoard1 ether2 port connects to RouterBoard2’s ether1 port.
PC has static IP address 192.168.0.10/24, gateway 192.168.0.1. Ethernet is plugged into RouterBoard 1 on ether1.
I can SSH in to RouterBoard1 on 192.168.0.1, and from there, I can ping 192.168.66.2. However, I cannot ping 192.168.66.2 directly from the PC.
The firewall filters are empty at the moment, but RouterBoard1, I did try
/ip firewall filter add action=accept chain=forward
with no luck.
Have I missed something obvious? I want RouterBoard 1 to route my PC to the other subnets.
I can not for the life of me find what an empty firewall filter set defaults to. Is everything defaulted to accept, or deny when you have an empty filter set?
