Hotspot with 2 networks

Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:43 pm

Hi,

i've a mikrotik 750GL.

On ETH3 i've set up 2 addresses

192.168.200.1/24

and

192.168.201.1/24

On Eht3 is running an Hotspot system, where the profile dispatch addresses with dhcp pool 192.168.200.2-192.168.200.254

On 192.168.201.0/24 network i have APs.

If i connect to mikrotik router i cannot ping devices on 192.168.201.0 network and there is a strange thing about the APs are shown inside Hotspot leases. They seems to don't have permission to communicate outside.

How can i do to ping devices on 192.168.201.0 network in this configuration?

Thanks in advance

First thing you need to do is disable the hotspot 1:1 NAT.
/ip hotspot
set 0 address-pool=none
Then you may need to create a VLAN on that interface for the other (192.168.201.x) network.

Thank you for reply.

I don't understand why the presence of a dhcp pool on hotspot server should create this issue.

If I remove pool from hotspot does the client that will connect to the HS obtain a DHCP address?

Thanks

The dhcp server will still work ok. If you do not disable the hotspot 1:1 NAT, it will translate all non-localnet ips to the hotspot localnet. You can see the results in "/ip hotspot host". The to-address is the only address the router sees.
