Re: capsman local bridge as datapath

Hello,

I have been looking for this solution for quite some time, finally here is the answer, thanks.
However :-) I am unable to add PVID to wlan interface added inside the bridge CAP side.
They always end up untagged with PVID 1.

Any idea?

Re: ups !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello All,

I have an SMT750I, is it still the case that RouterOS don't support devices beginning with SMT ?
Can't get it recognized using serial port.

Thank you

Re: vLAN with Switch chips _ scenario-based solutions

Thank you for your answers. I didnt' think I would reach RB450G's limit that quick :-)

Not a real problem though cause TimeMachine backups, etc. won't happen so often.

Re: vLAN with Switch chips _ scenario-based solutions

Fast Path is not available on RB450G as far as I see / understand.

I haven't done anything regarding firewall rules for the moment, they are the default ones.

Would it work to disable the bridge or should I remove it ?
If so, I tried and it doesn't change - See screenshot.

Re: vLAN with Switch chips _ scenario-based solutions

That's a bridge between VLAN100 and MetaRouter's virtual interface.

I need it so my MetaRouter's instance gets an IP in the range of VLAN100.

Re: vLAN with Switch chips _ scenario-based solutions

RB450G for the moment and RouterOS doesn't complain if I declare:
port 1 as WAN (gateway)

port 2 as master for my VLANs
port 3 as slave for my VLANs

port 4 as master for other IP range
port 5 as slave for other IP range

Re: Feature request: OpenVPN compression LZO and UDP

Single and only solution is to use MetaRouter and install OpenWRT/OpenVPN for such functionalities.

Mikrotik said it few times: they will never increase number of functionalities or concentrate any effort on OpenVPN implementation.

Time to initiate the grieving process and forget about it.

As I just need one MetaRouter instance, I think I'm going to try to sell the 450G and the the 2011UiAS.
If I don't succeed I'll keep the 450G.
