Dear all,
I hope that my descriptions / titles are accurate enough.
Even tho I know the basics of computer networks, I could not get this one to work. Thus I would like for advice on how to tackle this.
The problem:
I have a server that has an IP of 192.168.13.1 running on eth1 (I cannot change anything on the server).
I have a mobile device, which I want to log into a wireless network. The wireless device shall then be able to talk to the server at 192.168.13.1.
Whats more is that DNS resolution shall be available for the mobile device. For example component.sys1.local shall point the mobile device to the same 192.168.13.1
The idea is: The mobile device connects to the wireless network and any traffic between the wireless network and the server is bridged between the two on the MikroTik device.
The MikroTik device is using Ethernet Port 7 to connect to the server.
Here is a rather primitive illustration of this:
Please find a list of steps I have taken to realize this below (RouterOS 6.48.3, Apologies for not providing the RouterOS commands, I did feel more comfortable doing this with Winbox)
Unfortunately, I am still unable to ping the Server at 192.168.13.1
Could anybody perhaps help me with this?
Create a new wireless Interface, SSID: Lab-test-WiFi
Create a wireless security profile and assign to wireless profile Lab-test-WiFi
Create a new bridge Lab-test-bridge
Add Ports to Lab-test-bridge
-Lab-test-WiFi
-Ethernet Port 7
Add IP addresses:
Address: 192.168.13.2/24
Network: 192.168.13.0
Interface: Lab-test-WiFi
Add DHCP Server:
Address: 192.168.13.0/24
Gateway (not really required, but RouterOS wants an address here): 192.168.13.254
Netmask: 24
DNS Servers: 192.168.13.2
Add new Address Pool: Lab-test-pool
Addresses: 192.168.13.100-192.168.13.200
