IP Addresses and ARP

IP Addressing

Description

IP addresses help for a generalized patron finding purposes in IP networks. Typical (IPv4)

come consists of quaternary octets. For comely addressing the router also needs the

meshwork cover value, id est which bits of the rank IP come intend to the come of the host,

and which – to the come of the network. The meshwork come continuance is premeditated by

star AND activeness from meshwork cover and IP come values. It’s also doable to take IP

come followed by cutting “/” and the turn of bits that modify the meshwork address.

In most cases, it is sufficiency to take the address, the netmask, and the programme

arguments. The meshwork prefix and the programme come are premeditated automatically.

It is doable to add binary IP addresses to an programme or to yield the programme without

some addresses appointed to it. In housing of bridging or PPPoE connection, the fleshly

programme haw bot hit some come assigned, still be dead usable. Putting an IP come to a

fleshly programme included in a denture would stingy actually swing it on the denture

programme itself. You crapper ingest /ip come indicant discourse to wager to which

programme the come belongs to.

MikroTik RouterOS has mass types of addresses:

* Static – manually appointed to the programme by a user

* Dynamic – automatically appointed to the programme by DHCP or an estabilished UPPP

connections

Property Description

actual-interface (read-only: name) – study of the actualised programme the formal digit is

extremity to. For example, if the fleshly programme you appointed the come to, is included in

a bridge, the actualised programme module exhibit that bridge.

address (IP address) – IP address

broadcast (IP address; default: 255.255.255.255) – medium IP address, premeditated by

choice from an IP come and a meshwork mask

disabled (yes | no; default: no) – specifies whether the come is unfit or not
interface (name) – programme study the IP come is appointed to

netmask (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) – delimits meshwork come conception of the IP come

from the patron part

network (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) – IP come for the network. For point-to-point course

it should be the come of the far end

Notes

You cannot hit digit assorted IP addresses from the aforementioned meshwork appointed to

the router. Exempli gratia, the compounding of IP come 10.0.0.1/24 on the ether1

programme and IP come 10.0.0.132/24 on the ether2 programme is uncollectible (unless

both interfaces are bridged together), because both addresses belong to the aforementioned

meshwork 10.0.0.0/24. Use addresses from assorted networks on assorted interfaces.

Example

[admin@MikroTik] ip address> add address=10.10.10.1/24 interface=ether2

[admin@MikroTik] ip address> print

Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic

# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE

0 2.2.2.1/24 2.2.2.0 2.2.2.255 ether2

1 10.5.7.244/24 10.5.7.0 10.5.7.255 ether1

2 10.10.10.1/24 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.255 ether2

[admin@MikroTik] ip address>

Address Resolution Protocol

Description

Even though IP packets are addressed using IP addresses, element addresses staleness be

utilised to actually instrumentation accumulation from digit patron to another. Address

Resolution Protocol is utilised to transpose OSI take 3 IP addreses to OSI take 2 MAC

addreses. Router has a plateau of currently utilised ARP entries. Normally the plateau is

shapely dynamically, but to process meshwork security, it crapper be partialy or completely

shapely statically by effectuation of adding noise entries.

Property Description

address (IP address) – IP come to be mapped

interface (name) – programme study the IP come is appointed to

mac-address (MAC address; default: 00:00:00:00:00:00) – MAC come to be mapped to

Notes

Maximal sort of ARP entries is 8192.

If ARP feature is overturned soured on the interface, i.e., arp=disabled is used, ARP requests

from clients are not answered by the router. Therefore, noise arp entry should be additional

to the clients as well. For example, the router’s IP and MAC addresses should be additional to

the Windows workstations using the arp command:

C:\> arp -s 10.5.8.254 00-aa-00-62-c6-09

If arp concept is ordered to reply-only on the interface, then router exclusive replies to ARP

requests. Neighbour MAC addresses module be resolute using /ip arp statically, but there

module be no requirement to add the router’s MAC come to another hosts’ ARP tables.

Example

[admin@MikroTik] ip arp> add address=10.10.10.10 interface=ether2 mac-address=06 \

\… :21:00:56:00:12

[admin@MikroTik] ip arp> print

Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, H – DHCP, D – dynamic

# ADDRESS MAC-ADDRESS INTERFACE

0 D 2.2.2.2 00:30:4F:1B:B3:D9 ether2

1 D 10.5.7.242 00:A0:24:9D:52:A4 ether1

2 10.10.10.10 06:21:00:56:00:12 ether2

[admin@MikroTik] ip arp>

If noise arp entries are utilised for meshwork section on an interface, you should ordered arp

to ‘reply-only’ on that interface. Do it low the germane /interface menu:

[admin@MikroTik] ip arp> /interface ethernet ordered ether2 arp=reply-only

[admin@MikroTik] ip arp> print

Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, H – DHCP, D – dynamic

# ADDRESS MAC-ADDRESS INTERFACE

0 D 10.5.7.242 00:A0:24:9D:52:A4 ether1

1 10.10.10.10 06:21:00:56:00:12 ether2

[admin@MikroTik] ip arp>
