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
