Troubleshooting Server Connection Issues After Running a MikroTik Conversion Script

Introduction: If you're experiencing difficulties connecting to your Virtual Private Server (VPS) after executing a MikroTik conversion script, the problem may be related to IP configuration. This guide will walk you through the steps to resolve connection issues.

Step 1: Check the IP Addresses Begin by verifying that your IP address is correctly associated with your VPS. Execute the following command to list all IP addresses on the router:

This command will display a list of all IP addresses configured on your VPS. Review the list to confirm if your desired IP address is correctly linked.

Step 2: Check the Interface If you discover that your IP address is not linked, the next step is to identify the appropriate interface to associate with your IP address. List all network interfaces using this command:

This will provide a list of available network interfaces on your VPS. Take note of the name of the interface to which you intend to link your IP address.

Step 3: Add the IP Address Now, assign your desired IP address to the chosen interface using the following format:

For example, if you wish to assign the IP address 192.168.88.1 with a subnet mask of 24 to the interface ether1, the command would be:

Step 4: Add the Route To ensure proper network traffic flow, add the route with the following command:

For instance, if your gateway IP is 185.47.174.254, the command will be:

Conclusion: Following these steps, your VPS should now be correctly configured with the new IP address and able to connect to the network. Ensure that you replace the placeholder values in the commands with your actual IP address, subnet mask, interface name, and gateway IP. This should resolve any connection issues you were experiencing after running a MikroTik conversion script.
