CRS125 vlan config

Sun Feb 12, 2017 11:58 pm

This is the first time I run into the need of vlan on a CRS125. The switch menu on CRS125 tells that there are some new possibilities with the CRS compared to the routerboards I've configured for vlan earlier (mostly 1100AHx2, 433g and 951g).

The config I'm looking for is:
Ether1 as wan link (routing with nat)
Ether2 - 12 should provide untagged connection to bridge-local
Ether13-19 should provide untagged connection to bridge-guest
Ether20-24 should provide tagged connection to both the above bridge networks

5 wAP ac will be connected to the ether20-24 ports. They'll have 4 ssid's each, providing wlan to both bridge-networks with both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

I need to do routing with firewall between the bridge networks (allow guests to print) and ether1 (allow internet access to both bridges).

What would be the best practice way to configure this on a CRS125?
(With the older routerboards I'd configure vlan at each ethernet port, and link them all in each bridge. I assume this way will also work with CRS125, but there is a better way to do it.)

CRS125 supports vlans on switch-cpu level. Bridges operate on CPUlevel. CPU is rather weak on CRS125 therefore using bridges could harm performance.

Re: CRS125 vlan config

Tue Feb 14, 2017 2:14 am

Thanks. I think I found the answer to my question in a note in your first link
Note: Multiple master-port configuration is designed as fast and simple port isolation solution, but it limits a part of VLAN functionality supported by CRS switch-chip. For advanced configurations use one master-port within CRS switch chip for all ports, configure VLANs and isolate port groups with port isolation profile configuration.
However, following this guide http://www.breekeenbeen.nl/2014/12/11/m ... -bridging/
I ran into an issue: Ether2 is not working. Ether2 is the masterport for ether3..24. All the other ports seems to be working.

This command makes the problem:
/interface ethernet switch ingress-vlan-translation
add new-customer-vid=5 ports="ether2-master-local,ether3-slave-local,[...],ether16-slave-local" sa-learning=yes
Once I disable that rule, and add ether2 to the bridge, it's working. When the rule is enabled, ether2 is not working for tagged nor untagged.
Vlan5 is a sub interface of ether2, and is added to bridge-local.

How did I manage to have ether2 behave different from its slave ports? Any suggestion to what I missed?

Here is the config (excluded wireless, dhcp and ipsec config) where ether2 is not working. Does anyone see why that is?
Ether1 is wan, Ether2-16 are untagged members of bridge-lan, Ether17-20 are untagged members of bridge-gjest, Ether21-24 are tagged members of both bridges.

No you are not... But I somehow got it solved thanks to you :)

In my config I could not access any untagged port. When I read through this thread I realised that I had multiple master-ports in my former config. I resolved all but my VLAN switching group but it seemed not to help.
Out of frustration I did a reboot. MAGIC. For whatever reason it worked afterwards!

Good luck!

Re: CRS125 vlan config

Thu Feb 16, 2017 2:04 pm

So the problem may be that I have one single port and 23 in the port group, not all 24 in the group?
Unfortunately I had to hand this box over to the customer - the last in stock - and have to wait for a new delivery to arrive before I can experiment more with this.

Re: CRS125 vlan config

Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:32 pm

Not sure you are still working on in. Just in case I post my complete test config. I noted several differences to the config above.
It took me quite a while until everything was working as expected. But I was not familiar with MT, at all. So there might be lots of room for improvement. Just let me know.

My main goal was to use the switch chip of the CRS125 for some VLANS and connect every VLAN to a specific WLAN from the wAP ac via CAPsMAN.
I think it would not make much sense to use the CRS without the switching chip. If everything has to go through the CPU its getting very slow. CPU is weak and Bandwith to the CPU is 1 Gbit/s. (learned here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoZzt04Ixw0 )

My findings:
- use only one master port on the CRS! But you do NOT need to add all 24 ports!
- Using a switched trunk port for the wAP might work with manual config. I saw no way to get it done with CAPsMAN.
- I had to put the masterport in a bridge to allow IP traffic to/from VLANs (seems that makes the connection to the CPU)

The test config itself:
- 'admin' specifies the network with the right to do everything
- 'multimedia' is for guests, IosT, video server... its not allowed in 'admin'
- 'admin_service_access' might we ignored. I build it because playing around with the VLAN config threw me out one time too often (serial cable arrived today....)
- no further sec measurements taken until yet.
- using CAPsMAN provisioning would be the next logical step.

Would be great to hear some advice how to further improve the setup. Preferably you have a working config. That's because I read a lot of posts/tutorials/wikis and none had a working CRS/switching/VLAN/CAPsMAN/wAP combi.

Re: CRS125 vlan config

Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:29 pm

It is somewhat offtopic for this thread, but still..
Unless you plan to add more ports to the bridges later, it's pointless to have bridges with only one interface. Just assign the ip adresses and the firewall rules to the vlan interfaces, and you can delete the bridges.

Also, when you do config changes that involves the port you are connected to, it's a good idea to make use of the safe mode function in winbox. If you loose connection, the config will revert to what it was when you enabled safe mode. Then just turn safe mode off and back on once in a while to save your config.


Regarding my issue, I'll see if it replicates on a new CRS125 when I get the time to play around. (I have got a new one now.)

Re: CRS125 vlan config

Its only on the first sight that the bridges seem to have only one interface. CAPsMAN adds the WLAN interfaces dynamically:
/caps-man configuration
add channel.band=2ghz-b/g/n channel.extension-channel=Ce channel.frequency=\
2417 channel.width=20 country=germany datapath.arp=enabled \
datapath.bridge=bridge-admin datapath.client-to-client-forwarding=no \
datapath.local-forwarding=no mode=ap multicast-helper=default name=\
cfg_admin security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk security.encryption=\
aes-ccm security.group-encryption=aes-ccm security.passphrase=yourpass1 \
ssid=xt32
/interface bridge port print looks like that
Flags: X - disabled, I - inactive, D - dynamic

BUT: After some further tests I recognised that adding the bridge with the master port is not necessary. It seemed strange anyway but I was sure it wasn't working without.... now I dropped 'bridge-vlan' from the config above.

And thanks a lot for the hint with the safe mode. That will definitely help in many cases!

I could not find any obvious glitches in your config. Not sure where 'WLAN1' comes from; but that is certainly not the reason for the hassle with the master port.
You might try the latest ROS release candidate. I read a lot of bug fixing going on in regards to switching and VLANs on the CRS. I have some documented DHCP trouble myself.
