Why does adding ether1 to a bridge disables traffic?

Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:49 am

Hi, I have an RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN on v6.38.1 with a simple switched vlan config.
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] master-port=ether1
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] master-port=ether1
set [ find default-name=sfp1 ] disabled=yes

/interface ethernet switch vlan
# vlan 50 LAN
# vlan 600 IPTV
add independent-learning=no ports=ether1,ether5 switch=switch1 vlan-id=600
add independent-learning=no ports=ether1,ether2,switch1-cpu switch=switch1 vlan-id=50

/interface ethernet switch port
#ether1 vlan 50 600 Trunk Port
set 1 vlan-header=add-if-missing vlan-mode=secure
#ether2 vlan 50 Access Port
set 2 default-vlan-id=50 vlan-header=always-strip vlan-mode=secure
#ether5 vlan 600 Access Port
set 5 default-vlan-id=600 vlan-header=always-strip vlan-mode=secure
#eswitch1-cpu vlan 50
set 11 default-vlan-id=50 vlan-mode=secure
The above config is working.
ether1 is the trunk port for vlan 50 and vlan 600
ether2 is the access port for vlan 50 (My Mac is here)
ether5 is the access port for vlan 600 (The IPTV set-top box)
*vlan 50 is my LAN traffic and vlan 600 is IPTV. Both vlans are coming from another RB.

In preparation of adding wlan1, I created a bridge and added ether1 to the bridge.
/interface bridge add name=bridge1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
As soon as I do that, all traffic for ether1, 2 & 5 stops.

My question is why does all traffic stop when I add ether1 as a port to that bridge? What am I doing wrong?
