I am using the built in Hotspot to provide Internet for clients .
RB1200 ( Ether1 - 192.168.222.1/24 ) --------- > Switch
ISP <--------- RB1200 (Ether 2)
RB1200 ( Ether3 - 192.168.0.1/20 - Hotspot Port - DHCP Pool ) --------- > Switch
------------- Floor 1
Switch ---------> ------------- Floor 2
------------- Floor 3
for the repeaters the IPs are 192.168.222.2 - 192.168.222.42
*************************************************************
I am connecting to the Rb1200 using Winbox , usually I use Putty and web interface to manage the repeaters , of course I can do that using port forwarding .
but before I put port forwarding , I have to be able to ping those repeaters from mikrotik using the ether1 , when I am trying to ping them , they reply with net prohibited and the reply is from 192.168.0.1 .
I think it is related to firewall filter rules
Code: Select all
ip firewall filter print all
