HI All,

I have a few basic questions please.
RouterOS v5.16
RB751G-2HnD


1. Is the IP range 192.168.88.0/24 only for the WiFi - can I 'bond' my wired connections to the same address range or do I need to setup a seperate range.
2. Is there a way to power from POE on port 1 without using that port for routing just power?
3. I have a Fritz Router which runs VoIP phones. Can this be incorporated into the network and how?
4. I have followed the guides to setup port forwarding but to no avail - is there a definitive guide ?


Thanks Very much in advance.
Best Regards
Eddie

1 not only wifi, yes you can
2 dont know I think yes
3 I have same situation with frits behind it and voip on frits works even without any config ( if used with aseterisk or some kind PBX with natting)
4 here an example of port forwarding :

/ip firewall nat add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat disabled=no dst-port=80 in-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=tcp to-addresses=192.168.88.247 \ to-ports=80

/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input disabled=no dst-port=22 protocol=tcp place-before=3
add action=accept chain=input disabled=no dst-port=80 protocol=tcp place-before=3
add action=accept chain=input disabled=no dst-port=8291 protocol=tcp place-before=3

in this example we open 2 ports : 22, 8291 to mikrotik it self (for management purpose winbox or ssh) and to a webserver port 80, the above rule sends port 80 to the given IP 192.168.88.247

so first you tell the router to accept certain ports or not, then you tell hem what to do with it in the nat section.

Hi turalo and thanks for the reply.

I will experiment some more with it.

I have the mikrotik as first (next to the ISP) and then the Fritz is plugged into the mikrotik
I presume it will work but that I will need to forward ports 5060 and so on to the Fritz.

in some cases yes you must forward, in my case I didnot need to, cause my PBX (piaf) is doing all natting in a way that it even works true 2-3 routers which is not the best setup obviously, but in test scenarios it came good out the test, even behind 2 routers it works fine, but if it does not work in your case than you have to forward ports 5060-5061 and 10000-20000

2. Is there a way to power from POE on port 1 without using that port for routing just power?

Certainly. It works just fine regardless of whether or not you ship data through that port. I do this all the time to power remote relay towers, where the point-to-point feed (usually an SXT) and the AP (usually an RB711) are both at the top of the tower with no data coming down the tower.
