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
