PPPOE with a /29 ip range?

Sat Sep 30, 2017 5:31 pm

Hi All,

I recently asked my provider to grant me a few extra public IP addresses, So my provider supplied me with a /29 ip range (x.230.119.40/29). When I make a connection with PPPOE *as described by my ISP* the routerboard receives IP address x.230.119.41 and is reachable over the internet.

Next thing is a linux mail server, I connected that server to ether2 on the mikrotik and I set the interface IP address to x.230.119.42 (subnet 255.255.255.248 and gateway .230.119.41).... Logically I cannot ping .41 from the mail server

So I created a bridge for ether1 and ether2, set the PPPOE client to use that bridge. After a quick reboot the PPPOE connection came back online and the mikrotik got .41 again. From the mail server I can now ping .41 but I cannot ping anything on the internet from that mail server.

I've been reading up and people are talking about a routed subnet where besides the /29 the Miikrotik also gets an other public IP address (example 1.2.3.4) and routes would go via 1.2.3.4 to my /29 subnet. My provider does not give me a second IP address.

How would I act now, is there a way I can use the /29 using only the /29?

What I do see is that if I do a trace over the internet to .41 and .42 I'm seeing the following results:

.41

7.  x.230.119.41    0.0%  7  4.8   4.7  4.7   4.8  0.0
8. ???
I guess I do not need a second IP but I need to do something in the mikrotik, maybe I'm not setting up the bridge correctly?

Thanks!

Hey

Try this. Add to your ether2 interface your x.230.119.41/29 address. Than assign your mail server for example x.230.119.42/29 and try it again.
The gateway for the mail server should be x.230.119.41.

Thanks, your answer resolved it for me. (although I assigned x.230.119.41/29 to a bridge and not ether2

Here is what I in the end have done:
PPPOE creates a connection on ether1 which creates interface PPPOE1-in

I created a bridge for ether1-2-3-4 and assigned x.230.119.41/29 to the bridge

Now I was able to use multiple IP addresses on the 4 assigned interfaces!

Hi,

Can you let me know how is your current configuration?
I'm having issue to bring this up.

My ISP will assign the 1st Public IP into my PPPoE-Dialer.
In this case, how can i assign the rest of the Public to other machines to use?
I'm not sure do my situation same as yours or not.

Thanks.
