Why can I only ping my WAPs from RouterOS using ARP Ping?

Thu Oct 04, 2007 10:23 am

The subject says it all.

But I can only ping my Netgear WG302 APs using ARP ping? Why can't I ping them normally from the RouterOS?

Thanks!

Yes. In v3 of the RouterOS there is an option to ARP Ping devices on the network. It will only ping the WAPs if this is selected.

Would you have any firewall rules that might drop ICMP packets?

Is there any easy way to post the configuration? i.e. a Config File? I am a little new to this.

Unfortunately there are no firewall rules? Good answer, got hopeful for a moment!

Your AP's are hardwired to your MT box?

Do they have static IP's? Are those IP's on the same subnet? Can you ping the AP's with your computer?
