Hi everybody,
It is long time I work with MT, but I have a question.
My case I have the folowing devices:
1) a CISCO Catalyst SWITCH
2) a MT with hotspot service connected to the CISCO switch.
3) TwoTP-LINK AP connected to the CISCO switch called AP1 and AP2

My MT has a wireless card, so I configured the hotspot service over a Bridge. The bridge put together my wlan and ether2 (conected to the CISCO switch).

My goal is identified the users conected to AP1 and the users conected to AP2. I would like to see the users in /ip hotspot host where I can see the 'bridge port' attribute for each user in WINBOX tool.

Is is possible?
I try to implement this with VLAN configured in CISCO switch and MT, but without success.

Regards,
Santiago

Clients connected to the Mikrotik AP should be showing a bridge port of 'wlan1', and clients connected to the other AP should be showing a bridge port of 'ether2'. That's according to the manual.

If that isn't working first upgrade to the latest rev (5.6) to make sure it's not a bug that's already fixed. If it's still not working after an upgrade open a bug report/ticket with support@mikrotik.com.

Go into the bridge and enable "use ip firewall" in order for it to work and display the port.

From the beggining I am using ros5.6.
I have spent almost a week with the tests and I have some conclusions. First of all, in my topology I create two ( or more) VLAN's over a ether2. Each VLAN has a tag (numeric value) that the CISCO switch and MT shared.
So the main problem is one VLAN can be in a bridge interface, but two is not posible (try to create 2 vlan and get into in a bridge).

So I cannot create a DHCP server in the bridge, I have to create a DHCP server for each VLAN.
In fact, I do not know if it is a MT big or a my mistake.

Do you think that hotspot server can work with a set of vlan? Another option is create a hotspot server per vlan.

You can bridge as many VLANs together as you want. I do it for some of our networks without an issue. The only restrictions there are:
1.) You MUST set the horizon option for the bridge port to prevent loops and traffic not working properly.

The horizon option means, any traffic coming in on this port cannot leave another port with the same horizon value.
2.) You cannot bridge a VLAN with the physical interface it was created on.
