To do that you just go to Bridge -> Ports -> Delete Ether7 (for example) , then go to IP -> Addresses -> Create new address -> In the entries, leave 'Network' blank, and fill in 10.10.10.254 for Address, and select Ether7 for the interface. Now, even if I disable the bridge or do anything to the router, I can simply connect an ethernet cable to Ether7, and be able to access Winbox, is that correct? Or is there more stuff you have to do?
If you did not set IP-restrictions under the /ip service/winbox (to limit from which IP's you can connect) and the same for a /system/users (on a user, you can also set from which IP's it can login) you should only check the firewall INPUT-chain (INPUT = traffic targetted at router itself, Winbox for example)
Make sure you have some rule allowing ether7 (or source-IP 10.10.10.0/24) to target the the RouterOS control plane.
And that should be it, give it a try to connect PC to ether7 after giving it 10.10.10.1 , connect with Winbox and disable your Bridge
you won't get kicked out.
Still can't see the Mikrotik Router when I connect to ether7 port physically.
To clarify what I have done is:
On Mikrotik routerOS:
Bridge -> Ports -> Delete Ether7
IP -> Addresses -> Add ->
Address: 10.10.10.254
Network: 10.10.10.254 (this is auto generated when you leave it blank)
Interface: ether7-access
Now on my PC:
Go to Network Connections -> Ethernet Network -> Properties -> IpV4 -> Properties -> Use the following IP address:
IP address: 10.10.10.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.10.10.254
DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
This still does not work.
Here is my config incase that helps.. I am pretty sure I followed your steps as you said but it won't find the router on Winbox -> Neighbours.
I know the config has a lot of crap in it, I added wireguard and probably some other stupid stuff too but I doubt that is the problem here
