Bypass specific subnets completely from hotspot

Tue May 19, 2009 5:53 pm

I'm having some issues trying to bypass some specific subnets on my Hotspot.

My private network has 4 different subnets. 1 of those subnets is the hotspot, and the other three are for different piece of equipment. I've got the three subnets that are bypassed added to the IP Bindings list as bypassed. And this works for some of those pieces of equipment.

The problem that I'm running into is that quite often, some of my equipment will idle, and will get dropped from the hosts list. If this happens, I am no longer able to access the devices, even from a computer on the same private subnet. If I log into the Mikrotik, and then ping that device, it gets added back to the hosts list, and I am then able to access it.

I'd like to allow those subnets to completely bypass the hotspot, and be routed before the hotspot ever sees them. What is the best way to do this?

Add the subnets to
/ip hotspot walled-garden ip
. Make two entries per subnet, one for src-address and the other for dst-address.
/ip hotspot walled-garden ip
add action=accept comment="" disabled=no src-address=x.x.x.x/y
add action=accept comment="" disabled=no dst-address=x.x.x.x/y
