Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

Thanks everyone, for all the input!

I finally solved my last problem, which was the guest Wi-Fi not handing out IP addresses. There was a wrong number in my address. 169 instead of 168.

Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

Router config:
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp interface=bridge lease-time=2h name=defconf
Touché. It's not in the latest config any more, though. I still cannot access the internet on the guest WiFi. That is my current problem. Everything else is working great now.

Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

1. USE VLANS, do not assign dhcp to bridge etc. I didn't? 2. a. What should NOT be on your router anywhere is 192.168.88.0 - if you need it assign another vlan but you already have a home subnet, and a management subnet, so WTF is 192.168.88 ??? Removed, so we can focus on the actual problem. 1. wh...

Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

Have you added the guest vlan as an interface of the LAN?
I presume you mean the LAN interface list? Yes, I did.

Regarding your guide: I think my setup is similar, except that I do use the mgmt VLAN to hand out IP addresses instead. What is your reasoning to adding this additional LAN VLAN?

Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

You can set which interface gets DCHP requests. You should really have a separate VLAN set up for your LAN that is different from the management VLAN of your switches. Thanks, that is my setup exactly. The DHCP requests look fine. Depending on which SSID I am connected to, I get different IP addres...

Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

However, connecting to the guest and iot WiFi doesn't grant me access to the internet now. Could be it's because you're blocking access to DNS server on router itself from !LAN subnets (blocked by general "drop input all not from LAN"). You'll have to create allow rules for both TCP and U...

Re: Guide: CAPsMAN configuration with management VLAN (RouterOS 7.14.3)

Thanks a lot for the updated guide! Works well!

I have a suggestion, though. Perhaps put these lines for the cAP AX at the end:
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridgeLocal frame-types=admit-only-vlan-tagged interface=ether1
If they are done too early, you will lock yourself out.

Re: How to set up VLAN to pass traffic through a managed switch? [SOLVED]

From that thread:
The only deviation comes when you start using capsman but thats another topic ( datapath is used to assign vlans or something like that)

And I use CAPsMAN in my setup as well.

So far, I configured the switch only and testing with one Wi-Fi only while keeping the old non-VLAN setup on the side. The CAPs are CAPsMANed. When connecting to the `guest` Wi-Fi, I cannot obtain IP address from the DHCP. But I think the tagging of the LAG is a good pointer. Unfortunately, I couldn...

Re: Ping spikes with CRS125-24G-1S-RM on LAN, not sure where to start debugging [SOLVED]

You would see that when used as router (it is a switch) you would be able to get around 245Mbps at max.
Wouldn't 245Mbps be enough for home use. And how would this be related to the lag spikes?

What devices should I be looking at?
