VLANs: Tagged and untagged frames inbound on eth interface

In 4.x does anyone yet know if mixed tagged and untagged inbound traffic on a single ethernet interface can be easily split/separated yet? I'm still hoping for the day I can create a bunch of VLAN interfaces atop that single eth. interface to capture tagged traffic AND simultaneously apply a bridge ...

RouterOS equiv. of Cisco's "ip ospf mtu-ignore"?

Is there a RouterOS equivalent to Cisco's "ip ospf mtu-ignore" to tell a MikroTik to ignore MTU mismatches? (4.x or 3.x...)

Thanks!

Aaron out.

Re: API print command no longer includes comments!

It appears that 3.28 fixes the missing comments in quite a few places using the API:

/interface/wireless/access-list/getall (and print)

/ip/dhcp-server/lease/getall (and print)

/ip/route/getall (and print)

These are the three I've verified.

Thank you for the fix!

Re: 3.27 bug

3.28 fixes missing comments for /interface/wireless/access-list/getall (and print) as well as for /ip/dhcp-server/lease/getall (and print) -- I've verified this on my APs running 3.28 using the API. A quick test shows that /ip/route/getall includes comments in 3.28 as well.

Thanks for the fix!

Thank you very much! 3.28 fixes the problem for /ip/dhcp-server/lease/getall (and print) and also for /interface/wireless/access-list/getall (and print).

Is there any way to... (firewall and bridge question)

Hi, Is there any possible way to determine within a firewall chain the physical interface a packet entered IF that physical interface belongs to a bridge? So far as I can tell by experimentation, this is impossible. The "in-interface" only matches the bridge interface. Any ideas? Pointers?...

Re: Missing DHCP lease comment in API response in 3.27 (bug?)

Fortunately filtering DOES appear to work based on the comment. For example:
/ip/dhcp-server/getall
?comment="Jane Doe account 12345"
The above API query would in fact return the correct record, but again, the comment field would be missing.

Also note that including "comment" in .proplist and doing the getall query still fails to include the comment field in the output.

Missing DHCP lease comment in API response in 3.27 (bug?)

I have a script for synchronizing static DHCP configurations on Mikrotik APs with an internal database that uses the API /ip/dhcp-server/lease/getall to check the AP's current DHCP state. When running version 3.23, the comment field (in which I store a human-readable account ID so I know to whom the...

Letni suggested this solution (I'm rewording it to be sure I understood it right): Three bridges: br1, br2, br3 Three VLAN pseudo interfaces: vlan2 and vlan3 The ethernet ports (eth1, eth2, and eth3) would be assigned to various VLAN pseudo interfaces and/or to bridges as follows: eth1 (with untagge...

VLAN bridging question

TOPOLOGY: Assume I have a MikroTik with at least 4 ports. Assume that I must pass ethernet traffic for three separate 802.1q VLANs. Here is the topology: eth1 = trunk port with untagged traffic (belonging to VLAN ID 1) and also tagged traffic for VLAN ID 2 and VLAN ID 3 eth2 = untagged traffic only ...
