interface with the network being the same as the address on the router on the other side of the p2p link (there may be no IP on that interface, but there is an IP for that router).

Example

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> add address=10.0.0.214/32 network=192.168.0.1 \

\... interface=pppsync
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
#	ADDRESS	NETWORK	BROADCAST	INTERFACE
0	10.0.0.214/32	192.168.0.1	192.168.0.1	pppsync

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address>

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> .. route print detail

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic, J - rejected, C - connect, S - static, R - rip, O - ospf, B - bgp

0S dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 preferred-source=0.0.0.0 gateway=192.168.0.1 gateway-state=reachable distance=1 interface=pppsync

1 DC dst-address=192.168.0.1/32 preferred-source=10.0.0.214 gateway=0.0.0.0 gateway-state=reachable distance=0 interface=pppsync

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address>

As you can see, a dynamic connected route has been automatically added to the routes list. If you want the default gateway be the other router of the p2p link, just add a static route for it. It is shown as 0 in the example above.

5.1.6 Troubleshooting

Description

Router shows that the IP address is invalid

Check whether the interface exists to which the IP address is assigned. Or maybe it is disabled. It is also possible that the system has crashed - reboot the router.

Router shows that the ARP entry is invalid

Check whether the interface exists to which the ARP entry is assigned. Or maybe it is disabled. Check also for an IP address for the particular interface.

5.2RIP: Routing Information Protocol

5.2.1General Information

Summary

RouterOS implements RIP Version 1 (RFC1058) and Version 2 (RFC 2453). RIP enables routers in an autonomous system to exchange routing information. It always uses the best path (the path with the fewest number of hops (i.e. routers)) available.
