Mikrotik Routerboard and PPPOE - please help

You dont need an IP address, however give yourself a 192.168.1.2 address. Then connect via winbox to the mac addess. I find sometimes when you click on the double dots to "find" the router on winbox you must click on the mac addess part. I usually telnet, don't usually use winbox that much.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I used the search option and selected the unit. It filled in the mac for me in the field, but no go when I connect. I'll test again in the morning.
Thanks for the help!
 
I've never really had that much success with connecting on the MAC address.

I have just now tried again, and it failed. I then opened up my network connections and saw that VirtualBox had an active network interface on my PC. Once I disabled it, connecting to RouterOS (with WinBox) on the MAC address worked!

Connecting on the MAC address is crucial if you're going to make changes to the IP addresses or (un)bridging network interfaces.

OOOOH! You're the man! I have VB too and will disable and try again. Ta Pada! I thought I was the one being doff here.
 
Hi

I've been following this but in the case of...


/interface ethernet
set 0 master-port=none
set 1 master-port=ether1
set 2 master-port=ether1
set 3 master-port=ether1
set 4 master-port=ether1

I have a RB750 and it does not support the ether1 being a master, I can link 2-5 but 1 is the "WAN" interface for it, what would I be doing in this case.

EDIT: What I have so far is your setup except replace ether1 with ether2 and my pppoe connection is on ether1 so....

ether1 - Master is none
ether2 - MAster is none
ether 3-5 - Master is Ether2

not sure what to do from there since ether 1 is where the pppoe client is dialing.

Have you tried leaving ether2 as the master and then setting ether1 as the slave of ether1?

As far as I understand the only limitation is that ether1 can't be the switch master on the RB750.
 
Oooh I see your problem, the RB's only support TCP-IP and not IPX-SPX....
:D

Ether 1 on the rb750 doesnt support any master changes, it can only be master none.

Then just bridge them all, because that has the same effect, if I'm not mistaken.

Not the best as software bridging is not nearly as fast as hardware switching.

Probably just a dependency lock (in your config). To get around, reset to empty and start from scratch (as per the config I posted).

Ever heard of a TCP to IP gateway? :D. We ran those back in the day when routers weren't so pedantic! Ok, so they were even more pedantic lol.
 
Sorry to revive the thread, but I just need to say thanks a million for it and specially Roman4604. It helped me setup a MikroTik routerboard from scratch with PPPoE passthrough and being able to get to the modem's config. Saved me a lot of trouble!

Have never used quickset, but I suspect for this kind of custom config its not usable. You'd would need to configure manually, either from scratch or modifying an existing quickset config (no running quickset again).

The system should not allow you to have no master ports. If plugged into the correct port, you should always be able to connect to the MAC addr via WinBox, click [...] at he end of Connect To:

EDIT: The manual config should be really simple ...

Plug into port 1 and connect using the MAC addr from Winbox
Reset the RB to default empty config
Reconnect and run the following from a terminal window (in Winbox);


/interface ethernet
set 0 master-port=none
set 1 master-port=ether1
set 2 master-port=ether1
set 3 master-port=ether1
set 4 master-port=ether1

/interface pppoe-client
add add-default-route=yes allow=pap,chap disabled=no interface=ether1 max-mru=1492 max-mtu=1492 name=ADSL password=PPPPP use-peer-dns=yes user=UUUUU

/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=192.168.1.100-192.168.1.200

/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool1 disabled=no interface=ether1 name=dhcp1

/ip address
add address=192.168.1.1/24 comment="LAN" interface=ether1

/ip dhcp-server network
add address=192.168.1.0/24 dns-server=192.168.1.1 gateway=192.168.1.1

/ip dns
set allow-remote-requests=yes max-udp-packet-size=512

/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=ADSL

/system clock
set time-zone-name=Africa/Johannesburg

/system identity
set name="My RB"

/system ntp client
set enabled=yes mode=unicast primary-ntp=196.25.1.1


That should be it.

With this setup will all devices connected to the mikrotik still get DHCP and connect through the mikrotiks PPPoE connection unless dialed up to another PPPoE account?
