OMG Bill. You *have* to learn how to DST-NAT. Great for programming Canopy radios and best get-me-out-of-this-jam rescue trick EVVVER. Access any device on any MT router anywhere-even when not routable. No VPN required. No need for Telnet tunneling.
First put the SM on a MT interface and assign 169.254.1.2/16 Two variants to pick from: Add a new [reachable_address] on the MT that you don't need for anything else then: /ip fire nat add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat dst-address=[reachable_address] to-address=169.254.1.1 Then http://[reachable_address] to get to the SM Or use an existing MT address and map from an unused port like this: /ip fire nat add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat dst-address=[reachable_address] dst-port=8169 to-address=169.254.1.1 to-port=80 Then http://[reachable_address]:8169 to get to the SM PC Blaze Broadband > -----Original Message----- > From: Af [mailto:af-bounces+pconlin=blazebroadband....@afmug.com] On Behalf > Of Bill Prince via Af > Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 12:44 PM > To: af@afmug.com > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] routing to/from 169.254.0.0 > > I think netmap will do what I need.
