Problem was that ports wasn't defined...
Now I added ports in bridge mode, Winbox see other side but MAC ping doesn't work (which worked previously)

I see this issue randomly on some of our devices. The only way I have found to beat it is to MAC-Telnet to the remote device (from the local device) and use command line to add an IP address to the interface.

Winbox over MAC address is not very stable, you need to add an IP address and connect with that.

Hi,
I agree but due to mistake i disable the LAN Port so my IPs went down.

If port is disabled, MAC address will also not work.
