I have 2 RB960PGS, R1 (to be named main router), R2 to be named 2nd router.
R1 WAN port is connected to ISP Fiber ONT.
R1 ETH2-4 Are connected to Wireless APs
R1 ETH5 is connected to R2 ETH1 (WAN) port.
R2 ETH2-5 are connected to Wireless APs
R1 has 2 IP addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1, has DHCP running on both (168.0.0/24 being management network where all the APs are getting their IPs) no vlan, and 168.1.0/24 is where the Wireless clients get IPs from. (VLAN 1000 is configured on the APs and on R1 as a bridge)
- I created a Bridge on R2 for port 1-5 and all clients and APs seem to be connecting to the internet without issues,however I cant seem to give an IP address to reach the management interfaces of the 2nd router. R2.
I have given the IP 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.1.2 to the bridge interface on R2 (config pasted below).
I cant even see the box in winbox or mac-telnet client, the only way I was able to connect to it was through R1.
I connected to R1 via SSH, then using mac-telnet I was able to login to R2.
Would anyone be able to assist me? I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Perhaps there is a more efficient way to link the two routers? thank you in advance.
Code: Select all
/interface bridge
add name=bridge
add name=bridge1
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether5
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether4
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
/ip address
add address=192.168.0.2/24 interface=bridge1 network=192.168.0.0
add address=192.168.1.2/24 interface=bridge1 network=192.168.1.0
