Hi,

I'm trying to connect through ether2 or ether3 ports for management.
RB433AH with initial conf, OS v5.25, powered with poe inj. > port1

I use winbox, the mac-address is present in the drop down, then I connect using mac-address.
But....
All tables are empty!!!! There are no interfaces, nothing.
Then... I connect through ether1 and give addresses to ports ether2,ether3.
This way connection through these ports is ok.
I think this is not normal, but maybe i miss something.

I'm asking because I have many problems with this RB and since it is my first one,
I need to know if it is damaged.

Please advise
thanks

you can temporarily assigned an ip to the ether2 then connect via ip...
you will get what you want.

I don't think it's damaged. Some MT routers just don't respond well when you want to connect through a MAC address.
