Weird routing problem.

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi,

Over the weekend I change a 433 to a 433ah at our hi site. I set the wireless cards Mac addresses on the 433Ah to exactly the same as the 433, and then used a backup created on the 433 (had been in service for a year with no problems) and restored this onto the 433AH, basically cloned the 433 to the 433ah.

Now the weird thing. I cannot ping or access any of the client units on the same subnet as my client unit. My Dude no longer sees these client units, but does see the Internet gateways (they are on another subnet). All client units are working perfectly in terms of Internet access, just that I cannot administer them remotely anymore… Both the 433 and 433ah running ROS4.10

What can I post here to help the brains on the forum help me to solve this riddle?

Thanks

You should have used “export” and “import”. Backup and restore are for the same device, as far as I can tell. It may have a problem going from one type device to another.

Ok Tim, now how do I fix this? :astonished: The unit functions 100% perfectly, apart from this odd “non routing” issue.

Problem solved…the backup did not restore the Route Rules, probably due to an interface naming conflict…did an export from the old unit, and imported to the AH unit and all is now well again :slight_smile:
