Re: RB260GS VLANs

Yeah that's what I want. I don't know why they have to make it so confusing and difficult. Every other switch is damn easy to get going.

I tried your settings to no avail. Maybe the trunk port (1) is misconfigured?

Re: RB260GS VLANs

See the attached photos for what I have setup.
VLANs Tab.jpg
VLAN Tab.jpg
Port 1 is the trunk port and 2-5 are members of the various VLANs. Native VLAN is 10. SFP port is not used. The other end of the trunk is setup correctly, I tested it by replacing the RB with a Cisco 3560.

RB260GS VLANs

How do I configure access ports and trunk ports? I have setup VLANs 100's of times across Vyatta, Cisco, HP, 3COM, etc but can't get them to work on the damn 260GS. The Wiki is useless on what to do. Does anyone have a screenshot or a "terminology comparison" to say Cisco? Thanks.

I'm having the same issues with 6rc6 on a RB450G and a RB750. I can't get DNS redirecting to work. It worked fine on 5.20 but now isn't working. It's setup the same and even the same as this thread, but the clients won't resolve. Perhaps it's a bug in RC6?

Feature Suggestion: IPSEC fixes

Please let us use DNS names in the addresses instead of doing scripts to resolve the IPs. It would make a lot easier.

Also, please allow use to use the WAN IP on the mikrotik without having to use scripts to get it, take out the mask, and then insert it into the peer and policies.

You have a DHCP client running on your WAN interface. How does the modem know to forward all traffic to you? The NAT rule for TCP/1723 makes no sense. You are NAT'ing traffic already destined to you (if the modem is forwarding it correctly, that is) to yourself. Other than those two items things lo...
