I had a wireless bridge that is working fine. I wanted to add a 2nd station, so I changed to AP-Bridge
and copied the settings on the station to a new one (with the appropriate IPs changed).
R0 (AP-BRIDGE)
VPLS1: ip=172.16.0.1
ETHER1: ip=192.168.0.18
WLAN1: ssid="wrcbridge"
BRIDGE: ports=ETHER1, VPLS1
R1 (station)
VPLS1: ip=172.16.0.2
ETHER1: ip=192.168.0.17
WLAN1: ssid="wrcbridge"
BRIDGE: ports=ETHER1, VPLS1
R2 (station)
VPLS1: ip=172.16.0.3
ETHER1: ip=192.168.0.19
WLAN1: ssid="wrcbridge"
BRIDGE: ports=ETHER1, VPLS1
Current state:
- Original bridge works fine (R0<->R1)
- New bridge (R0<->R2) - I can ping the VPLS address from the AP-Bridge, but I cannot ping the static IP on the Ethernet interface.
In reading some other posts, I see mention to ensure that the bridge l2mtu is less than wlan/vpls l2mtus.
In looking at my working station (R1), I see:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface print
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
# NAME TYPE MTU L2MTU
0 R ether1 ether 1500 1526
1 R bridge1 bridge 1500 1500
2 R wlan1 wlan 1500 2290
3 X wlan2 wlan 1500
4 R vpls1 vpls 1500 1500
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface print
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
# NAME TYPE MTU L2MTU MAX-L2MTU
0 R ether1 ether 1500 1526 1526
1 R wlan1 wlan 1500 2290
2 X wlan2 wlan 1500
3 R bridge1 bridge 1500 1526
4 vpls1 vpls 1500 1500
- Bridge1 L2MTU is 1526. I believe I need that to be 1500.
- VPLS1 is not running
How do I reset the l2mtu on Bridge1 on R2 ? I assume that's why VPLS1 is not happy.
Thanks for any pointers !
