88 AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers
RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
Property Description
actual-interface (read-only: name) - only applicable to logical interfaces like bridges or tunnels. Holds
the name of the actual hardware interface the logical one is bound to.
address (IP address) - IP address
broadcast (IP address; default: 255.255.255.255) - broadcasting IP address, calculated by default from an
IP address and a network mask
disabled (yes | no; default: no) - specifies whether the address is disabled or not
interface (name) - interface name the IP address is assigned to
netmask (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - specifies network address part of an IP address
network (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - IP address for the network. For point-to-point links it should be
the address of the remote end
You cannot have two different IP addresses from the same network assigned to the router. Exempli
gratia, the combination of IP address 10.0.0.1/24 on the ether1 interface and IP address
10.0.0.132/24 on the ether2 interface is invalid (unless both interfaces are bridged together), because
both addresses belong to the same network 10.0.0.0/24. Use addresses from different networks on
different interfaces.
Example
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> add address=10.10.10.1/24 interface=ether2
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE

Address Resolution Protocol
Submenu level: /ip arp
Description
Even though IP packets are addressed using IP addresses, hardware addresses must be used to actually
transport data from one host to another. Address Resolution Protocol is used to map OSI level 3 IP
addresses to OSI level 2 MAC addresses. A router has a table of currently used ARP entries. Normally
the table is built dynamically, but to increase network security, it can be built statically by means of adding
static entries.
Property Description
address (IP address) - IP address to be mapped
interface (name) - interface name the IP address is assigned to
mac-address (MAC address; default: 00:00:00:00:00:00) - MAC address to be mapped to
Maximum number of ARP entries is 8192.
